Hi Jim,
Rejecting Petrie's measures for the shafts in favour of those of Gantenbrink was a tough decision for me when I worked on the geometry of the shafts back in 1994 and published my findings in DE 33 (1995) - see my website. It seemed hard to believe that Petrie's placing of the shaft outlets could be so much in error, but Gantenbrink assured me that he had checked and double-c

Hi Robert,
There was a thread here earlier this year, with satellite photos showing that the site of the Unfinished Pyramid has been largely built over by the military camp:
The Great Pit itself and the sloping access trench are protected inside an enclosure, but I would think that the chances of being allowed in to take a look are pretty minimal.

Hi Jim,
That's an amazing diagram! In view of the simplicity, symmetry and accuracy of the two relationships, I wouldn't hesitate to conclude that the geometry was deliberate, or at least played a part in the formulation of the dimensions of the Giza site plan as it was actually laid out.
There are a couple of supplementary results that seem worth noting.
First, the axial dist

Hi Jim,
You raise an interesting question. I don't see the relationship you describe as being evidence for the 97/56 ratio as such, but rather as another indication of how very carefully the dimensions of the Giza Site Plan were worked out. I also think it supports my view that the divergent orientation of G3 with respect to G1 and G2 was deliberate.
As Graham says, the actual distan

My position with regard to the evaluation of square roots can be found in my article "On Pyramid Dimensions and Proportions"
