>>All of the above is derived through the uses of the 5 1/2 seked, pi not included.<<
Hi Jacob
Oh dear. If you honestly believe that then that is fine with me, you have obviously convinced yourself at least. Carry on soldier as they say :-)

Hi MJ
Petrie obtains the 20.632 value by taking the mean of the base perimeter of the chamber only (1237.9/60 = 20.631667). If you take the mean from the perimeter of the walls at the top of the chamber you get 20.606 inches ((1236.36 inches/60 = 20.606). The mean between top and bottom pe

Hi Jacob
Woah, stop right there. I am not seeking to prove anything, merely document what I feel the builders may have intended. Might I be wrong? Of course. Can you admit to the same?

Hi Jacob
Celestial mechanics. Number and geometry are the universal principles of nature. Sacred architecture and art traditionally strives to embody these principle; the microcosm mirroring the macrocosm. Think Buddhist mandalas for example. Why wouldn't they want to embody these principles in stone?

Dahshur - 12 years ago
I previously noted that the dimensions of the Great Pyramid anticipate the overall site plan with the key being 44/7 or the circumference to radius circle ratio. Lets take a look then at what the pi formula might reveal at Dahshur. If indeed this ratio was a significant design factor at Giza then we might expect a similar approach to reveal something of interest at Dahshur.

There is another significant aspect to the G2 ratio of 4/3 which I should mention. To calculate the circumference and area of a circle then knowledge of the radius length and the value for pi (or an approximation thereof) are sufficient, since:
Circumference = 2 x pi x r
Area = pi x r^2
However to compute the volume of a sphere another factor comes into play, 4/3:
volume = r^3 x pi x 4/

"Why did you divide by five? Is there some aspect of G2 that lead you to do that"
The dimensions of G2 are defined by a 3-4-5 triangle. The ratio of height to semi-base of G2 is 4/3, since 274/4 x 3 = 205.5. However the inverse of this operation gives 274 x 4/3 = 365 1/3, a rational expression of the number of days in the year. 5 (hypotenuse value) x 365 1/3 = 1826 2/3. Using 22/7

Hello Dave
Whether one dismisses it as coincidence or whatever, it is undeniable that the base perimeter of the Great Pyramid is related to its height as the circumference of a circle is related to its radius. I think it is also striking that if we take the apothem or slope length of the Great Pyramid as the radius of a circle (356.09 cubits) then using 22/7 for pi the circumference equals 223
