Hawass is speaking in tongues. In the first article he says: "Inside the Great Pyramid, I found the so-called three doors. One on the south entrance of the second chamber that has two copper handles."
1. Why the hell does he use the term "south entrance." Surely he means "southern shaft."
2. They are not doors at all. They are blocks or slabs, and they cannot be

Larry Pahl is a fringie/pseudoarchaologist. In his articles list, he has written about how Khufu's pyramid encodes the speed of light in metres per second. This is the sort of crazy stuff you find on Hancock's forum.

"The main long causeway from the enclosure was at 45 degrees to north."
It does not appear to be at that angle at all. It looks more like 40 degrees from north.

The QCS shaft is the one with the most consistent slope, and according to Gantenbrink, it has a slope of 39.5 deg., which is more probably the seked of 8.5 palms, i.e., a slope of 14:17 (39.47 deg.), rather than a slope

The length of the Ascending Passage is 75 cubits. The length of the Grand Gallery is 88 cubits. These are not in a 9:11 ratio.

As far as I know, Hancock booked that hall under false pretenses, not mentioning that he would be presenting Bauval's ideas. Hawass was right to reject Hancock's offer of a debate.

Legon follows Petrie's measurements to give a base of around 201.5 cubits. I believe the slope will turn out to be 5:4 and the height 126 cubits, which is the same as the height of the hypothetical pyramid at the 154c level in Khufu's pyramid in Gantenbrink's model for the upper shafts' exits. These dimensions, height and base, are created by a 201.6c base.

I seem to recall that Lauer derived that value of the cubit from the length of the enclosure wall around the Step Pyramid. It might have been in his book "Saqqara." Lauer said that the length of the enclosure wall was 1040 cubits. The wall has 5-cubit wide recesses every 10 cubits. Later kings could have used the enclosure wall as a reference for their long measures. E.g., Khufu could h

Why were these pyramids buit at South Saqqara next to Djedkare-Isesi's pyramid? The D-I pyramid has a slope of 14:11 (seemingly), while the 6th dynasty pyramids built next to it all have slopes of 4:3.

To say the upper Bent was 45 degrees is just ludicrous. Verner's measures clearly give a slope of 14:15. I see no reason whatsoever to stray from that value.

Get off your high horse. "Virtual" means "almost."
A height of 90c and a run of 63c gives a slope length of 109.86c, one palm short of 110 cubits. That is virtually 110 cubits. In any case, 110c is used as the value to make the height of the upper part.

The height as you say is 200 cubits, and it is divided into 90c for the lower part and 110c for the upper part.
The slope of the upper part is 14:15, making the bend-line 235c 5p (not a whole number of cubits).
The slope of the lower part is 10:7, making the "run" 7/10 x 90c = 63c (a whole number of cubits). The base length is 235c 5p + 2 x 63c = 361c 5p (again, not a whole numbe

Legon's basic case is that the slope of the Red Pyramid is 45 degrees, the base is 418 cubits, and the arris (corner edge) is 418 x sqrt 3 = 362 cubits, which he contends is the same as the base of the Bent Pyramid. (I contend that the base of the Bent is 361c 5p.)
His figure of 418c for the base is also a change on his previous figure of 420c in an earlier article.

Di Pasqale's observation is not "brilliant" by any means. It is pure numerology. It is also devious of Di Pasquale to settle on 3.14 as it appears to be designed to appeal to numerologists.
