Returning now to those thrilling days of yesteryear we see that that the arch of The Heb Sed court buildings may have been formed from the simply progression of a 3, 4 and 5 distance right angle triangle with the hypotenuse swung around and acting as the radius. This is a simple and elegant solution that calls into it no advanced math whatsoever and need s only a ruler of some description a piece of string and an origin to draw the arc from. Here are some more detailed images that Andrew sent to me and please again be aware that they are copyright to Andrew Conner and are printed here with permission.

Here is an elegant solution of his right angled 3, 4, 5 theory. Sure seems a bit simpler than Jonny's solution. What he noticed was that the solution lay in the fact that the horizontal line is to be drawn on the 2/5ths down and 3/5ths up proportion as shown below.



What was even more interesting, and which he noticed quite a while ago and pointed out to me in an email, was the fact that when a line was projected from the bottom center of the originating circle it went EXACTLY through the end of the horizontal line as shown below.



I immediately recognized the pattern and drew just a few more lines on the diagram as shown below.

Maybe if I did something simple to it you might recognize it.

and then we have this:



So for the moment we are left with this question. Firstly there are many who believe that Freemasonry has it's roots in Ancient Egypt. There are also many who believe the [stone] Masons of the Renaissance and of Gothic Architecture drew on the knowledge of the ancient builders and their skill and expertise but mostly I feel on their geometric knowledge.

It would be easy to dismiss this find of Andrew Conner's as some quaint co-incidence if it were not for the fact that the diagonal drawn on this diagram is at an angle of 26.565 degrees and this is of course the reciprocal of 53.13 and this is of course the angle of G2 at Giza. Further to all of this is the fact that it leaves us with the most famous of right angled triangles, the 1, 2 and square root of 5 which is exactly what is given to us in The Kings Chamber of The Great Pyramid.

Simple angles and easily arrived at, it would appear that the ancient builders were building and leaving us a geometric legacy in stone and thankfully we have a piece of the blueprint left to us to show us exactly what their intentions were, The Sakkara Ostracon It has oft times been argued where's the beef. Translated this means put it in context with what has been found. Well this time we have indeed done this. We have the actual blueprint and all the proof that is needed.

So was masonry a skill passed on from Dynasty 3 ? It appears now that it could have been.
