This pyramid is extremely interesting as it's height as listed of 82.10 is but 1/100th of a meter higher than the base of the King's Chamber in The Great Pyramid which is listed as "Altitude 82.09 (42.99 meters)"
Most intriguing.
Base as listed is 57.75 meters or 110.27 cubits but it could be and probably is 110 cubits which would be 1/4 of the base of The Great Pyramid. This makes the slope angle 56.18 degrees or 56° 10' 52.6"
And the geometry:
Most ingenious as the pyramid is to the width as the width is to the length. I am continually amazed at their ingenuity.
Pyramid 1 unit to width of 1.3 units
Width of 1.3 units to length of 1.7 units (1.7 / 1.3 = 1.31)
But they did not intend this of course. It was (and is) just another fluke.
