Excel formula for arris: a1=base/2 a2=a1/SIN(RADIANS(45)) a3=face slope a4=+a1*TAN(RADIANS(a3)) arris=DEGREES(ATAN(+a4/a2))by C Wayne Taylor - Alternative Geometry and Numerology
Hello Robert, In arguing that a "mound" influenced the site selection for G1, you cite Raynaud as establishing the existance of a mound at this location. For the height of the rock within G1 Raynoud cites Petrie (8 meters), Dormion (6.6 meters), and Eyth (12.5 meters) and then adopts Eyth's figure. I have read through Eyth several times and do not see that Eyth reports this meby C Wayne Taylor - Ancient Egypt
QuoteQuando vemos o nome de um faraó, este esta sempre dentro do hieróglifo que representa a eternidade o “Shen”, que os modernos egiptólogos chamam de cartouche. When we see the name of a pharaoh, it is always within the hieroglyph which represents the eternity "Shen" that modern Egyptology calls the Cartouche.

QuoteA bit of evidence appears to be one of the ramp's corner notches used for turning blocks. It is two-thirds of the way up the northeast corner--precisely at a point where Houdin predicted there would be one. Furthermore, in 1986 a member of a French team that was surveying the pyramid reported seeing a desert fox enter it through a hole next to the notch, suggesting that there is an openby C Wayne Taylor - Ancient Egypt
Here is a link to a photo of what was described as Sandra in the Ka room on the 1976 climb. It was my understanding that this is high up on the NE arris of G1.by C Wayne Taylor - Ancient Egypt
Hi Joe, I remember reading (a year or two ago) some information about reports of seeing a fox(?) going in and out of an opening high up on an arris. It think it was the NE. I tried to track down the person who posted the information but did not get a reply as I recall. I'll dig through my files and see what I can find.by C Wayne Taylor - Ancient Egypt
QuoteAn Egyptologist at C.W. Post has solved one of the mysteries of the Great Pyramid -- when and why cracks occurred in one of the world's great wonders. Bob Brier, along with an architect and a team of software specialists, has determined that huge support beams inside the Great Pyramid at Giza cracked as final construction was under way 4,500 years ago.by C Wayne Taylor - Ancient Egypt

(Piazzi Smyth describing the original entrance to G1) QuoteThe floor, again, of the passsge, very much harder than any other portion of it, extends out far in front of either the wall or roof; for these have in part been broken away to the depth of many feet inward from the original Pyramid surface, and thus form something of a grotto on the northern face, which is always in the shade duby C Wayne Taylor - Ancient Egypt

Hello, Below is a link to a photograph taken in 1984 showing the crew surveying G1 for the Giza Plateau Mapping Project. In the foreground is David Goodman who was responsible for planning and executing the survey. The theodolite is positioned on a marker than does not appear in the published map. It may be a secondary marker used to navigate around the modern wall. This is one of the wallsby C Wayne Taylor - Ancient Egypt

Hi Don, The latitude of sunspots varies through the sunspot cycle. QuoteAlong with the number of sunspots, the location of sunspots varies throughout the sunspot cycle. At solar min, sunspots tend to form around latitudes of 30° to 45° North and South of the Sun's equator. As the solar cycle progresses through solar max, sunspots tend to appear closer to the equator, around a latitudeby C Wayne Taylor - Alternative Geometry and Numerology

Hi Dave, Is Petrie's "diameter to circumference" conclusion supported by the information he presented? QuoteARITHMETIC AND GEOMETRY 27 Khufu, the variation of a course of casing is .04 in. on 20 ft., and .00 to a course of the core 40 ft. distant. The sides of the pyramid varied 2.3 ins. on an average in a length of 9069.4 ins., or I in 4,000. If this were laid out wiby C Wayne Taylor - Alternative Geometry and Numerology

Hi MJ, The difference between Petrie and Cole is this: Petrie located the four "sockets" and a single point of the casing-on-platform near the center of each side of the base. He then assumed a square base and calculated the required dimensions to fit the diagonals. Cole located several points on each side of the base and determined the actual direction of each side and theby C Wayne Taylor - Ancient Egypt
