Interesting ...

Most suggest that this measurement was 25 inches. Others suggest just around 24 inches while still others suggest 25.20 inches. I would suggest 25.20 inches and here is why I feel that this is correct. We are for the moment going to assume a perfectly built Great Pyramid at 440 cubits by 280 cubits and 9072 inches for the base by 5773.50 inches (sq rt of 3/3 x 10,000) for the height. here is what this yields.

The first is very interesting but first let's list the cubits of Egypt:

Common cubit = 18 inches
Royal Cubit = 20.62 inches
“Hebrew Sacred Cubit” = 25.20 inches

Okay let's divide our base of 9072 inches by the sacred cubit and what do we get... 9072 / 25.20 = very nicely 360.00 and of course the number of degrees in a circle. Further to this we find that the only number from 1 to 10 that does not divide evenly into 360 is of course 7 yet again nicely we see that 2520 or 100 sacred cubits gives us 360 x 7 or 2520.00.

But let's carry on. What about the height or 5773.50 inches ? Well 5773.50 / 25.20 = 229.10725

229.10725 x 100 = 22910.725 inches

22910.725 inches / Royal Cubit or 20.62 inches = 1111.0924

If we use 1111.1 x 20.62 = 22910.882

22910.882 / 100 x Sacred Cubit or 25.20 = 5773.542264

Sq rt of 3/3 x 10,000 or 5773.5027 / 5773.542264 = .999993 or 99.9993 % accuracy.

But it gets even better for I have for some time suggested that The Giza Plateau is built to a grid of 9 by 11 or 36 x 44 or 1417.5 cubits x 1732.5 cubits and so now what do we find when we divide 25.20 by 20.62 we get 1.222114452

11 / 9 = 1.222222

So the ratio of Sacred Cubit to that of The Royal Cubit would appear to be ...

11 to 9 ... Same as The Giza Plateau, same as The Bent Pyramid

Very neatly done.
