As there are no other posts I have had another look at this.

The Satellite Pyramid of the Bent Pyramid is a 70 to 292 scale model of the Red Pyramid in my opinion.

The number 70 may be related to Sirius, and the diagonal of the base multiplied by the ratio of the height over the base side-length is equal to 70 royal cubits:

Height = 49.5
Base side length = 100
Diagonal of the base = square root of 20,000 in royal cubits.

I have already mentioned that the Satellite Pyramid projects a circle with a circumference of 360 royal cubits at the centre of the base of the Bent Pyramid, and that Satellite Pyramid is not exactly parallel to the Bent Pyramid, but skewed at an angle of 1/pi degrees.

The appearance of a square root as a dimension invites a connection to the geometry of a circle in view of the circle with a circumference of 360 royal cubits and 1/pi degrees.

A circle drawn around the Satellite Pyramid has a diameter equal to the diagonal of the base, and the circumference is equal to pi x square root of 20,000

It follows that the length of the arc for 1/pi degrees can be calculated without a value of pi:

Length of arc in royal cubits = (pi x sr20,000)/(pi x 360) = sr20,000/360 = 11 digits*

*using a calculator it is (10.999.. )/28 royal cubits

This observation implies that the geometry of a circle was understood and represented in digits.

I think that digits were used to represent circles in many different ways for the Great Pyramid, the simplest example being the King's Chamber Circle with a circumference of 1,760 digits as a scale model of the size and pi shape of the Great Pyramid on a scale of 1 digit to 1 royal cubit (a 1 to 28 scale model).

For the Bent Pyramid I have proposed that the architect tried to reduce the perimeter at the level of the bend to 25,920 digits as a representation of a circle with a circumference of 25,920, symbolic of a stellar cycle of 25,920 years.

25,920 digits is the theoretical perimeter at a level of 90 royal cubits for a lower slope equal to the seked 5 palms (tangent= 28/20, where the angle is 54.46 degrees), and a base side-length equal to 360 royal cubits.

The poor appearance of the Bent Pyramid is partly because the lower slope was started at a slightly steeper slope (tangent = 10/7, where the angle is 55.01 degrees), but completed at at the seked of 5 palms on those sections that had not been built at the time the decision was made to abandon the plan of a true pyramid and complete as a so-called bent pyramid.
