Intricate stone steps descend as an interior circular staircase to the depths of the Well on Elephantine, similar to the later structure at Kom Ombo. Buckets on ropes reach water wells. Solar Wells were built to enable human access to closer view the reflected face of Ra. It must have become apparent to those who studied the surface of the Sun that there was a cyclical pattern to the solar disk, to its reflected image in the water pool: a solar cycle of sunspot activity averaging 11 years in duration. Calculation of solar sunspot cycles is now attributed to the early Nineteenth Century A.D. (Schwabe Cycle) not to the Third or Fourth Millennium BC in Egypt, though, when we reach the Giza Pyramids, distinct evidence will prove that ancient Egyptians (prior to the 4th Dynasty) had not only measured the durations of solar cycles but that they designed the Giza monuments in accord with the temporal patterns of sunspot activity. Since the solar cycle calculable from observing how 'Re bathed his face' in the waters of the Sun Wells of Egypt was a primary reason for the base-dimension of the Great Pyramid and for the 99-year period of major construction on the Giza Plateau – formulated to 9 cycles of 11 years, to the 99 infinite aspects of the Sun God Ra

Now it is very gratifying to read a possible reason for "The Giza Rectangle" and it's dimensions of 9 horizontal and 11 vertical. I can't help think about all the obelisks throughout Egypt which were either destroyed or moved. I wonder what were they really marking ?
A great paper so far.
