The distance up from the base of The Great Pyramid to the floor of The Queen's Chamber is, according to Petrie, 41.51 cubits or more precisely
41.51 x 20.62 inches = 855.94 inches and within an inch of what Petrie measured for floor joint No 16 and No 21
As I was looking at this today, and after re-reading some of my websites, I suddenly realized that this number held greater significance than I had at first seen. In my website [
donbarone.altervista.org] and [
donbarone.altervista.org] I suddenly noticed that 41.51 was almost exactly 10 times the ratio of Earth's orbit in days compared to Mercury's orbit . Example is 365.25 days for Earth divided by 87.989 days for Mercury . Dividing we get 4.1511 and times 10 we get 41.511. So if 41.511 was eqaul to the orbit of Mercury where then was the orbit of Earth because by itself this was basically meaningless. So doing the math we allow 4151.08 to eqaul inches and we divide by 87.989 and then times 365.25 and we get 17231.50 inches. Now 17231.5 inches equal ... 835.67 and precisely the elevation of the step in the floor of 834.9 + or - 0.3
Here is the diagram I did when I first found this but had forgotten.
