Hi Don,

Nice presentation, but your presentations would carry much more weight if all of your calculations could be expressed in fractions or in unit fractions as the Ancient Egyptians did as shown below:

The dimensions of Red are 21/22 of G1 440 cubits / (22/21) = 420 cubits of 189/110 feet or (20 + 1/2 + 1/10 + 1/55 inches) Giving Red a base length of 721 7/11 feet, (721 + 1/2 + 1/11 + 1/22) feet.

Did you know if Red Pyramid were based on a 3-4-5 triangle like G2 the height would be the same as G1’s 481 1/11 feet. (721 + 1/2 + 1/11 + 1/22) / 6 * 4 = (481 1/11) feet.

However, Red Pyramid is a 6 3/5 seked that gives a 35 rise to 33 run for an angle of 43° 18’ 55.14” for a height of 198 cubits giving a ratio of 140/99 (sqrt 2) between the heights of G1 and Red.

There is a 6/5 ratio between the seked ratios of the Pyramids, 6 3/5: 5.5 = 5/6. The difference between the seked ratios expressed in Egyptian Fractions:
(6 +1/2 + 1/11 + 1/110) / (5 + 1/2) = (1/2 + 1/4 + 1/12)

33:35 * 2/3 = (1 + 1/5 + 1/7 + 1/14) 99:70, the run-rise ratio of the lower Bent Pyramid for an angle of 54° 44’ 13.16”, upper Bent equals the same angle as Red Pyramids.

Bent Pyramid is 6/7 the base of Red, 721 7/11ft / (7/6) = 618 6/11 ft. with the difference between the two being equal the area of a 36 ft. circumference circle of 103 1/11 ft.

Red Pyramid base = 5 8/11 ^2 * 22/7 =103 1/11…103 1/11 * 7 = 721 7/11 demonstrating our current method for calculating the area of a circle.

The Ancient Egyptian formula we find: (diameter ^2 / 14/11 = area of a circle) what this states is the diameter of the circle times the side of the corresponding square = area of a circle. The diameter of the circle (11 5/11) * the side of the corresponding square = 9 (diameter / 14/11 = 9) equals the area of a circle (11 + 1/3 + 1/11 + 1/33) * 9 = 103 1/11

The following calculations are expressed as Egyptian Fractions:
Red Pyramid base: (11 + 1/3 + 1/11 + 1/33) * 9 * 7 = (721 + 1/2 + 1/11 + 1/22) feet.
Bent Pyramid base: (11 + 1/3 + 1/11 + 1/33) * 9 * 6 = (618 + 1/3 + 1/6 + 1/22) feet.
G1’s Pyramid base: (11 + 1/3 + 1/11 + 1/33) * 9 * (7 + 1/3) = 756

G1’s 440 cubits / Sphinx base 140 cubits = 3 1/7 = 22/7
Red’s 420 cubits / Sphinx base 140 cubits = 3
Bent’s 360 cubits / Sphinx 140 cubits = 2 4/7 = 18/7

Sphinx base 140 / Kings Chamber’s 20 cubits = 7
G1’s base 440 / Kings Chamber’s 20 cubits = 22
Red’s base 420 / Kings Chamber’s 20 cubits = 21
Bent’s base 360 / Kings Chamber’s 20 cubits = 18
