If you're not aware of the details, etc regarding MMP 10 then there's nothing to discuss.
This is what Gillings has to say:
"...if Peet's second alternative is right, we must come inevitably to the conclusion that MMP 10 establishes that the ancient Egyptians knew the circumference of a semicircle was 1/2 Pi d, and therefore that the circumference of a circle was C = Pi

Nope, you "designed" them both. You couldn't have posted them otherwise.

If they were "designed" the dimensions were "deliberate" !

Edwards was never a Professor. He was a Dr but a Professor can only be at an educational establishment; Edwards spent his career at the BM.

The "hypothesis", as I understand it, is that the AEs used 22/7, 3 1/7, etc because they recognised that as Pi (the relationship between a circle's diameter and circumference). Now, there is no doubt that 22/7, 3 1/7, etc can be found in AE structures (just as they can be found in Anthony's bathroom) but in order to substantiate that this was recognised as Pi (or an an approxi

You set the dimension at 3.14 because that is meaningful to you as Pi. The only "evidence" you can provide is that 22/7, 3 1/7, etc can be "found" and because you recognise that as Pi you assume that they did and that they used those values for that reason.

Crap. It showed no such thing. And it doesn't help piramidiot Pi as you're not looking for a number encoded in dimensions but for a ratio from two dimensions.

Why don't you just give a reference to the AE text that relates a circle's diameter to circumference with 22/7, 3 1/7, etc ?
Oh, you can't....

As he hasn't substantiated - and can't substantiate - his position he's lost.

Well, there's nothing to substantiate piramidiot Pi in the GP, but we all knew that in advance.

Of course the reason for making something 3.14 is so that it'll fit in a 3.2 hole. It's called limits and fits. In that case the 3.2 is the controlling dimension not 3.14.
