NOTE: Please be advised I did not take these measurements or manipulate them in any way. They are what they are.
Base is reported to be 189.43 meters. It is not my fault that if one converts this to cubits we get 7459.06 inches and this equals 361.77 or [(Phi squared + 1) x 100 = 361.8034 correct to 0.03 cubits or 3/5ths of an inch.
But surely this must be a coincidence ... Well it might be if it were not for the fact that this site lists the base at the bend as 125.58 meters and if one divides by two which one would have to do when calculating the slope we find that 123.58 / 2 = 61.79 and Phi x 10 is equal to 61.8034 so this checks within 0.0134 or 1/4 of one inch
So we have this configuration as shown below:
In this solution the height is 104.71 meters or 199.94 cubits. In all likelihood 200.00 cubits exactly. Now our distance down from the apex to the bend is in this diagram and using their measurements 200.00 - 117.898 = 82.102 cubits
Wouldn't you just know it that
they coincidentally built The Kings Chamber at The Great Pyramid at the same elevation above the ground. Wow amazing coincidences always seem to crop up in Egypt. Oh by the way it is not quite exact this time. In The Great Pyramid it is situated at 82.09 which is out the large distance of 1/100th of a cubit.
And now just as a final thought 104.71 meters is awfully close to Pi / 3 or 104.719
If we go with 200 cubits we would get 104.74
Phi and Pi go together like love and marriage and a horse and carriage and didn't The Ancient Builders know it..
