Hi Don
I am suggesting that this rectangle is anchored to the centers of the Great pyramid and the Third pyramid.
I think the length of the base of the Great pyramid = 1 and its base length 1 x 2.5 is the east west leg and its base length 1 x 3.2 is the north south leg.
Area of rectangle 2.5 x 3.2 = 8

Hello all.
I have noted that 1 degree of latitude from the Equator to 1 degree north = 68.7 miles and by coincidence the number of days in a year for the planet Mars 687 days
I have also suggested that a degree of latitude on Mars from the Equator to 1 degree north or south = 36.5 miles. 365 the number of days in a year here in Earth.

Hi db and all
For interest.
Quote'It is pretty well agreed that the base of the Great Pyramid is about 9068.8 inches and this is 9068.8/12 = 755.7333 feet
It is also agree that the height is 5776 inches + or - 7 inches or 5776/12 = 481.3333. At the lower end we get 5769/12 = 480.75
So why do I bother mentioning this ... well the numbers always tell a story and this is t

Hi Hans
Quote 'But isn't decimal in this case referring to the use of base 10?"
Yes Hans it is and many get confused by this;
The Indus / Saxon meaure 39.6 inches in 3 feet of 13.2 is equivalent to the metre its 1.00584 of a modern meter.
And the yard 39.6 inches is both 39.6 inches and 50 digits.

Nobody in the ancient world used decimals until the Chinese invented them in the 4th century BC. This is provable.
If they'd had the notion of decimals, we would have seen it in their calculations because it speeds up all kinds of mathematical processes as well as in textbooks such as the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus. It would have reduced the cumbersome calcula

Hello Hans
Quote Here is another one the Great Pyramid is approximately 2,078.07 mi (3,344.34 km) north of the Equator - why don't you find some place to fit that number into the Giza?'
The Giza complex is around 30deg north and each degree of longitude EW = 60 miles.
And it's a coincidence that at that latitude each degree of longitude = 60 miles.

Thank you for that yes, it is at the very least a coincidence.
Don't know if your first measure is the meter or the mile Hans.
One degree of latitude at the equator 68.7 miles and there are 5280 feet in a mile = 362,736 feet 110,562.1539m

You think about things and ask reasonable questions.
When I looked at Giza I saw a rectangle with the Great and Third pyramid. I looked at the two pyramids from the center of each and drew a rectangle.
Many people have looked at this including Ahatmose and wondered if the ancient's had pre planned the Giza complex.
In order for that to occur they had to se

The third pyramid was the last of the great 3 constructed. Now as to the base length Yes Petrie gave the numbers you quote Ahatmose.
he qualified though by writing 'at this level then'. as sand had covered a good deal of the base. Mark Lehner confirmed this when I wrote to him on his pyramid book.
