Considering there are so many who don’t think the AE would ever use math to design a pyramid I probably shouldn’t go there here!
True some may not consider 154 as anything relevant but considering 7*22 = 154 and as 22/7

I think you are wrong about the vertical lines being grooves. If you look at the small pyramids in front of G3 and the westside of G3 you can see small piles of sand on top of the core stones. With strong winds and lots o

Alternative Geometry and Numerology
Hello All
I was wondering if there was a way for the AE to have solved for diameter with a known circumference without using (22/7 = pi).
The key to what I came up with is 28/33. I’m not aware of them using this in any EMP’s but then AFAIK none of them required finding perimeter or circumference.

Hi Lobo
Thanks for the excellent reply. I’m ok with 3 1/7 as a possibility but not a fact.
9068.8 / 440 = 20.611
5771.08 / 20.611 = 280
12825.22 / 20.611 = 622.25123 cubits diagonal
C= 2(D+1/9) * (or 99/70)
2*280 = 560+62.2222 = 622.2222 * 2 = 1244.4444 * 1.4142857 = 1760 cubits
If I did that right then nice your + 1/9 works and thanks for that!

Hello MJ
You expressed much of my thinking on this subject.
I’m uncertain how some can say the mathematical papyrus proves the AE did not understand 3 1/7. When for them to use 3 1/7 to find the area of a circle it would require two things, one 3 1/7 as a form of pi and two the radius needed to be squared. If either were unknown then they would have to use a different system and they did. I

Wouldn’t they still need to use cubit rods to measure the ropes?
