Verner (p.462) gives the length of the bend-line as 123.58m (=235c 5p) and the height of the upper part as 57.67m (= 110c). This clearly gives a slope of 14:15.

There is little to commend Di Pasquale's hypothesis for a Giza-Bent Pyramid comparison. For a start, he gets both angles for the Bent Pyramid wrong.
We know enough about the Bent Pyramid to know what its true angles are. The top of the Bent Pyramid has a slope of 14:15, which converts to an angle of 43.025°. Compare this with Di Pasquale's angle of 43.083°. The bottom of the Bent Pyr

The sloping length of the AP is 75 cubits. The height of the AP is 33 cubits. Arcsin 33/75 is 26.1 degrees.

At the 10 minute mark, the narrator says that the slope of the Descending Passage, 26.2°, is exactly the same as that of the Ascending Passage. This is wrong on two counts. We know that the DP is a 1:2 (26.565°) slope, and we also also know that the slope of the AP is different from that of the DP, being close to 26.1°.

That paper only deals with the mathematical papyri. There is however evidence for the repetition of certain lengths in the pyramids, especially 100 cubits and 110 cubits.

Petrie's hypothesis seems to be that the cubit was derived from the remen as square root of 2 times 20 digits, making 28.28 digits. I think this is wrong. The cubit of 7 palms came first, and the the half-diagonal of the cubit square is found to be approximately 5 palms, which is called remen.

There is a paper by John Legon somewhere on the origin of the cubit. For a standing man of height 166 cm, and given a cubit of 52.4 cm, the knee and elbow joints are one and two cubits above the ground respectively, and the hairline is 3 cubits.
I disagree with everyone who thinks the cubit is the length of the forearm from the elbow to the fingertip of the middle finger. That length is only 6

He says that the djeser is exactly the same as the English foot, but this is just wrong. The djeser was simply 4 palms, which with a cubit of 20.62" comes out at 11.78", a little short of 12".

There are a handful of articles on Academia.edu which have been posted in recent times by pseudos and which have attracted other pseudos. A lot of these posters use outdated and discredited sources which claim that the ancient Egyptians used Greek or Roman feet, or even megalithic yards, to construct the pyramids. I have pointed out to these people that the Egyptians used cubits and palms, and th

I reject it. In my opinion, the pi hypothesis (not theory) itself is quite silly.
