The name of Teti's pyramid was 'The Pyramid Which Is Enduring Of Palaces'. Its original height was 52.5m/172ft. [www.touregypt.net]

Problem is that 52.5 meters DOES NOT equal 172 feet

52.5 m = 2066.92913175 inches = 172.2440943125

Chances are that the height was 100 cubits.

100 x 20.618034 = 171.82 feet or 52.37 meters

Height: 52.5m
Base: 78.5m
Slope: 53o 13'
Height of Cult Pyramid: 15.7m
Base of Cult Pyramid: 15.7m
Slope of Cult Pyramid: 63o

source: [www.touregypt.net]

Height was probably 100 cubits
Base was probably 150 cubits

Slope is correct at 53.13 degrees

Height of Cult Pyramid: 618.034 inches or (15.6981 meters) = 29.975 cubits or maybe 30 cubits even (15.71 meters)

Base of Cult Pyramid: the same as above

Slope of Cult Pyramid: 63o This is wrong Actual was and is by the data presented 63.435 with the reciprocal angle of 26.565 which is of course 1/2 the slope angle of the main pyramid.

Amazing that no one has bothered to try and correct the faulty data or tried to see what is going on here.

Lehner gets it wrong again of course



Take a look at Djedkare-Isesi's pyramid. Exact same size but he lists the slope angle at 52 degrees

Extremely sloppy work and it is obvious why mathematics and geometry is lagging behind in Egypt. Again it appears that Egyptologists are mathematically challenged.

Or is the data deliberately listed wrong ?
