Hypothesis:

The sarcophagus in the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid is a model on a scale of 1 digit to 1 royal cubit, and on this basis its internal volume is 1/64 of the volume of the virtual sphere latent in the design of the Great Pyramid.

Facts to support the hypothesis:

The vertical triangular cross-section of the Great Pyramid on the north-south axis has a height of 280 royal cubits and a length of 440 royal cubits equal to the base side-length of pyramid.

These dimensions correspond to the pi approximation 22/7 in Petrie's pi theory ie the height of the pyramid is equal to the radius of a virtual circle, and the perimeter of the base square is equal to its circumference.

It is an automatic consequence of the pi theory that the triangular cross-section is equal in area to a virtual circle with a diameter equal to the height of the pyramid.
So we can imagine the virtual circle resting on the base at 6 o'clock, and the peak of the pyramid pointing to 12 o'clock.
The diameter of the circle is 280 royal cubits as the height of the pyramid.

Now we can also see the same circle on the east-west axis, and the two virtual circles combine to give a picture of the proposed sphere with its diameter of 280 royal cubits.

Volume of sphere = 2/3 diameter of circle x area of circle

Evaluating using 22/7 = (2/3 x 280) x (22/7 x 280 x 280/4) = 11,498,666.67 cubic royal cubits

And 1/64 (as Eye of Horus) x 11,498,666.67 = 179,666.67 cubic royal cubits.

The sarcophagus, like the design latent in the long walls of the King's Chamber, is on a scale of 1 digit to 1 royal cubit, so the volume should be 179,666.67 cubic digits, which is 8.184.. cubic royal cubits.

The internal volume of the sarcophagus is equal to the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 2.5 royal cubits, which is 8.184.. cubic royal cubits

I have shown this to be the case in a previous post commenting on Tutankhamun's walking sticks, as copied below.

Now the question for Egyptologists is this:

Does the empty sarcophagus represent the ascension of the Horus king in ancient belief?

Or is it the ascension of Horus from the king?
(There is a famous statue of the falcon god, Horus, landing on the head of King Khafre.)

If Khufu was put inside the sarcophagus, pending the ritual ascension, then the internal volume, with the lid on, reduces the volume, but the volume becomes 1/64 of a sphere, with a diameter of 280 digits, on removal of the lid.

Having removed the lid the sarcophagus achieves its remarkable proportions.

Can we may presume that the sarcophagus was no longer needed for the protection of the king's khat after the removal of the lid?

If so, then there is some other more secret place where the king's mortal remains were hidden, and the empty sarcophagus is symbolic of the ascension in ancient belief.

The width of the King's Chamber is 280 digits, and the width of the chamber, or rather the east and west walls, are parallel to the length of the sarcophagus.


The length of the King's Chamber is equal to 560 digits as the diameter of a circle, so the radius of the virtual circle is 280 digits, and the circumference of the virtual circle is 1,760 digits.
This mirrors the pi shape of the Great Pyramid with its virtual circle of 1,760 royal cubits seen in the perimeter of the base square as 1,760 royal cubits, and the radius of the circle at 280 royal cubits equal to the height of the pyramid.

The width of the chamber now also emerges as the diameter of a circle, with a width of 280 digits. This is a scale model of the pyramid's equal area circle with a diameter of 280 royal cubits. Again on a scale of 1 digit to 1 royal cubit.

The volume of the sarcophagus is equal to 1/64 of the volume of the model sphere because its virtual diameter is 1/4 of the width of the chamber, and 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/64

The pyramid's equal area circle is half the diameter of the pyramid's circumference circle, just as the width of the King's Chamber is half the length of the King's Chamber. The connection of width of the chamber to the diameter of a circle is not actually necessary to support the hypothesis, because the digit model of the King's Chamber is based on the long walls.

The new evidence suggests that the Great Pyramid was viewed as a sphere.

PS

Extract from previous post:


The internal area was said to be equal to the area of a circle with a diameter of 2.5 royal cubits, with the internal diagonal equal to 4 royal cubits, and the internal volume to a sphere with a diameter of 2.5 royal cubits.

This could have been determined by weights and measurements. The theory is very interesting because the internal length and the internal width are both irregular dimensions constrained by the proposed geometry.

We can calculate the dimensions in inches using a conversion factor of 20.61 inches per royal cubit, and with the depth equal to 2/3 the diameter of the hypothetical circle, which is 46 and 2/3 digits

For example:
46 2/3 digits divided by 28 digits per royal cubit x 20.61 inches per cubit = 34.35 inches.
And 4 royal cubits x 20.61 inches = 82.44 inches

Internal length: Theory 77.98 inches, Smyth 77.93 inches
Internal width: Theory 26.75 inches, Smyth 26.73 inches
Internal diagonal: Theory 82.44 inches, Smyth 82.39 inches
Internal depth: Theory 34.35 inches, Smyth 34.34 inches

And (28 x 28 x 77.98 inches x 26.75 inches)/(20.61 inches x 20.61 inches) = 3850 square digits (3850.0..)

where 3850 square digits is the area of a circle with a diameter of 2.5 royal cubits for the pi approximation 22/7.

These figures don't prove 22/7, but are consistent with the pi design in the King's Chamber.

Quite frankly, this is all as obvious as Tutankhamun's walking sticks.
