Below see the stats as they appear at one of the most respected Egypt sites on the web.

Please note that the number of feet for the base is very close to 618.034 feet which would of course be 100 x 1/Phi - If we allow 618.034 as being correct we get 188.377 meters or 359.705 cubits. To make this equal to 360.00 cubits we would need a cubit of 20.6 inches

Jim Allison has calculated thus:



According to Guardian the original height of The Pyramid which they started would have reached 421.58 feet, however if we borrow one of Jim Allison's measurements again and go with 424.42 [feet] (6002 / sq rt of 2) and use this as feet we can calculate the projected height as 247.01 cubits or 129.363 meters (247.23 if we use 20.6 )

Also we are given the planned height as 105.00 meters which is 344.4875 feet. Now again if we use the values found in the binary system of The Red and The Bent Pyramids we get 346.42 and if we use this as feet we get 105.589 meters and 201.62 cubits which is very close to the base of the small pyramid at Giza.

And as a final bit of Alice in Wonderland type mayhem if we add, again using Jim's diagram 4444.2 and 4244.2 then divide by two we get 4344.2 and if we then use this as degrees we get 43.442 degrees which gives us 43° 26' 31.2"

Using 618.034 feet for the base and 424.42 feet for the projected height of the original pyramid we get 309.017 / 424.42 we get cotan of 53.94 or 53° 56' 30.9"

So did The Ancient Builders use feet and inches, meters, or cubits ... or maybe all three !

I have a feeling I may have to revise my cubit length to come to terms with all this new data. It is starting to look like the cubit may in fact be equal to 20.6 inches, at least in this area of Ancient Egypt. We shall see how it all develops
