Dimensions of Pyramid at Meidum

* Height: 92m
* Base: 144m
* Slope: 51o 53'

[www.touregypt.net]

This gives us 275 cubits for a base and 175 for the height for a 11 to 7 ratio.

On a Giza Grid chart this would equal (1732.05 / 11) x 7 or 1102.21 cubits

Base 1732.05 cubits by Height 1102.31 cubits

Base 1732.05 inches by Height 1102.31 inches

Base 44 meters by Height 28 meters

and this ...

Technical: (From this site)

Main Pyramid
Original name: Menkaure is Divine
Date of construction: 4th dynasty
Original height: 66.45 meters
Angle of inclination: 51o 20'
Lengths of sides of base 104.6 meters
Length of Causeway 608 Meters

Pyramid G 3a
Original height: 28.4 meters
Angle of inclination: 52o 15'
Length of sides of base: 44 meters


Pyramid G 3b
Length of sides of base: 31.24 meters

Pyramid G 3c
Length of sides of base: 31.24 meters ...

So it appears Pyramid G 3a is a mini version of Meidum at Giza.

And slope would be (1/2 of 44) / 28 or 22/28 or 11/14 and the slope angle would be 51.84 degrees the same as for The Great Pyramid only in the scale of 1 meter = 1 cubit. Simply astounding as always here at Giza. How can one explain this unless we allow that they knew both measurement systems.
