Hi all ... while on the surface a discussion ensued regarding the possibility that the enclosure around The Step Pyramid might be in some way related to the circle and may even be trying to show us Pi. Such a possibility was even considered a possibility by Dr. David Lightbody who although did not claim that our present known value of Pi was being shown but perhaps another form, most likely 22/7 was indeed being shown by the enclosure. He cites as a possible example 7 palms (1 cubit) by 7 palms give us a diagonal or double-remen of ALMOST 10 (9.8995) WHILE THE CORRESPONDING QUARTER CIRCLE WOULD GIVE US A VALUE OF ALMOST 11 (10.9956)

As usual however I seek perfection and although it was a start, using 22/7 or as I was taught in public school Greek Pi, was not quite good enough for me and that's where it was left as Dr. Lightbody chose to not discuss any further ideas I had with me.

So back to Sakkara I went and to The Step Pyramid. I thought to myself gee I had not come across anything that told us how high this pyramid was IN CUBITS ! interesting the values varied from 60 to 62 meters with the majority and thus the consensus agreeing it was 60 meters and about 197 feet. But nowhere was the number of cubits listed so I decided to calculate it myself. Using basic math we find that 60 meters = 2362.2047 inches and gives us, using 20.62 inches per cubit, 114.56 cubits. Now no one who has crunched as many and tortured as many numbers as I have could miss that this number was basically showing us the diameter of a circle with circumference of 360 cubits. The exact figure would be 114.59 (within 3/100ths of a cubit or about 1 inch. I found this quite fascinating and wondered if we could tie this into "The Pi Enclosure Wall" at all. Before this however this ensued ...

Continuing our fresh look at The Step Pyramid at Sakkara we take note of the base of this pyramid. It is the only rectangular pyramid base ever built and ranges in size on various websites from 125 by 109 to 121 x 109 (Lehner) . Now I had not noticed this before but if use what Lehner proposes we get 121 + 109 or 230 meters for half the perimeter of the base. And the base of The Great Pyramid (using 9068.9968 inches) gives us 230.35 meters. So it appears that MAYBE the perimeter of The Step Pyramid [(109 + 121) x 2 or 460 meters] is ONE HALF THE PERIMETER OF THE GREAT PYRAMID (921.41 meters) ! However what is also interesting is that MAYBE the base of The Step Pyramid is in the ratio of 10 by 9 as shown by (109/9) x 10 = 121.11 ...

So if we allow base to equal 121.238 by 109.114 we would get an exact match to one half of The Great Pyramid and maintain our 10 to 9 ratio ... This gives us in cubits as 4773.15 inches or 231.48 + 4295.83 inches or 208.33 cubits which totals 439.813 and precisely equals the perfect base needed to give us The Pi Angle at Giza.

So does The Step Pyramid at Sakkara show us the upcoming measurements to be used at Giza ? Do the supposed circular measurements which seem to be found at Giza and specifically The Great Pyramid find their origin and source at Sakkara and The Step Pyramid and the enclosure wall ?

Now what is going to be shown next is extremely interesting. A number that was arrived at at two totally different dates separated by months and using two completely different methodology has yielded THE EXACT SAME RESULT DOWN TO THE 1/100TH OF A METER. Here is a link to a forum of mine where I discuss Sakkara ... [ahatmose2002.proboards.com]

In this discussion I show how everything appeared to be related very nicely to the perimeter but the main point for now I am emphasizing is that after all my calculations I had assigned a value of 208.34 cubits to the short side of The Step Pyramid. Here is the diagram ...



And now since the short side of 208.34 is equal to 3 in the overall scale and ratio of this grand design the long side works out very nicely and beautifully to 208.33/9 x 10 or 231.48 and if 208.33 is equal to 3 then 231.48 equals 3 / 9 x 10 OR 3.333333333

So the bases of The Step Pyramid are 3 and 3.333333 ... most ingenious but would we expect anything less from Imhotep ?
