Hi Robin,
If you look at the corner section that L.Cooper kindly linked to, it will hopefully become clear.

Dear Principia,
The dictionary definition of ridiculus;
"stupid or unreasonable and deserving to be laughed at"
By your reasoning your photographs, are superior to two scholars, highly trained, using expensive and highly accurate surveying equipment and closely agreeing, even though the surveys are a century apart. To belittle such hard and difficult work, with those photographs,

Likewise l have thought of many scenarios to try and explain what we see today. It is like a game of chess with many permutations. These permutations can be reduced only when a thorough forensic examination of the structure is done, modern science and an multi disiplinary approach is required. Sadly it will not happen in my life time, Egyptology is clearly content with its exploration of the stru

Hi all,
My understanding looking at the information on this study is that only mortar samples of the Bent pyramid were tested. I note in the Meidum pyramid samples were taken from its wooden beams. It would seem strange that the wooden beams in the Bent would also not be tested. Does anyone know if the wooden beams in the Bent have been carbon dated?

Don,
Your red line across the steps, merely replicates the angle between the continuous joints. For example you could use a face angle centred from the grid of say 70 degrees or even a vertical step of 90 degrees, you will still arive at the same angle you provide.

Quote "But no one claims The Step Pyramid is a 75 degrees pyramid"
Were does the author claim it is a 75 degree pyramid? The author merely suggests that these continuous joints that have lead to the 60 degree pyramid theory can be explained by the modification of a 75 degree stepped core.

It is not a typo it is on page 31.and if you read the paper it will describe this angle as what we see in the step phase of Meidum.
