I don't know about Lauer's definition, but 524 mm is correct. To be more precise, it is 4/3 * pi * 1000/2^3 = 523.5987756, the number you get when calculating the volume of a sphere with diameter 1000 mm and rea

I have to make one correction: The original author of the theory seeing the pyramids as huge chemical reaction facilities is Geoffrey Drumm who published his book about this in 2020 and started his research on location in Egypt in 2017. On his youtube channel he has a video about the Red Pyramid published in 2021.

Nice! And great timing (figuratively and literally).
Technically it's not just a zodiac, it's a horoscope. A horoscope is not the motivational text you find in some magazines, it is a representation of the planets', sun and moon positions seen from a specific location on Earth at a specific date. That most likely helps to understand why those horoscopes in stone are so important

When visited the Red Pyramid in spring 2010 the ammonia smell inside was surprising. Originally I thought about the most common source for that smell as being the same as in pedestrian railway underpasses in large European cities. But all other ancient sites I visited there in Egypt between Dashur and Cairo were very clean inside without smell. The Red Pyramid was otherwise clean and the visitor
