Thank you for this contribution.

I was referred to this article, as you know. The article didn't seem logical to me. It is as if the author proves what he was trying to disprove.

If the article was written tongue in cheek then we could spend a lot of time debating what is actually nonsense.

The perimeter of the long walls of the King Chamber is 1,760 digits, with the length of the chamber corresponding to 1,760/pi for the ancient perception of pi = 22/7. (The height of 5 courses of 64 digits is 320 digits.). The difference between the floor level and the lowest course of granite blocks is 7 digits. This design mirrors the size and shape of the pyramid on a scale of 1 digit to 1 royal cubit. The circle of the pyramid has a radius of 280 royal cubits.

The Queen's Chamber is linked to a circle with a radius of 140 royal cubits and a diameter of 280 royal cubits. The area of this circle is equal to the triangular cross-section of the pyramid when calculated using the ancient perception of pi = 22/7. The proposed difference between the floor level and the footing of the floor is 7/2 digits, which is half the difference of the symbolic levels in the King's Chamber, just as the symbolic circle is half the radius of the circle connected to the King's Chamber.
