Rich no offence but Egyptians DID MEASURE ! Thoth and Khonsu were directly involved in this and both were associated with The Moon.

Khonsu (Khons, Chons, Khensu) was a god of the moon and time. His cult center was at Thebes where he was part of a triad with Amun and Mut. He was one of the companions of Thoth (who was also associated with the moon and the measurement of time). It was thought that he could influence the fertility of both the people and their livestock and one myth (recorded on the walls of the Ptolemaic temple of Khonsu at Karnak) gives him a prominent role in the creation of the universe.

Khonsu
(Khensu, Khons)

Symbols: cresent moon, hawks, knives
Cult Center: Thebes
Myths: "the Princess of Bekhten"

Khonsu was a moon-god and the son of Amon-Re and Mut. His name derives from the root, "khens" which means to travel, to move about, to run. He was usually portrayed as a man with the head of a hawk and wearing the lunar disk. He was also shown as a child with the sidelock of youth.

Khonsu was a very old god of primitive times. Khonsu was associated with the moon and was considered a form of Thoth by the Thebens, and it was in Thebes that Ramses III built the "House of Khonsu in Thebes, Nefer-hetep"

It was said that when Khonsu caused the cresent moon to shine, women conceived, cattle became fertile, and all nostrils and every throat were filled with fresh air.http://www.egyptianmyths.net/khonsu.htm

And you feel this is alternative geometry ?

Forgive me but it this sort of attitude that has cause Egyptian studies in this area to stagnate. I have been asked to show context and this I am doing. Perhaps some here should re-read what Ma'at means.
