Hi Don,
Now I could be wrong, but a matter of perspective can cause some to miss the obvious? By your figures with the arc second cubit of (20 34/55) 20.6181818...inches. Saqqara enclosure wall1 long side of 1800 feet x 12 = 21600 inches / (20 34/55) = 22000/21 cubits = (1047 13/21) cubits 1047.619048
Short side, 900 feet x 12 = 10800 inches / (20 34/55) = 11000/21 cubits = (523 17/21) cubits,

There are 18 famous Mayan archaeological sites in Yucatan and each of them has pyramids in number of 3 to 20. It’s mean that average number of pyramids of Yucatan is 230-250.

June 10, 2014 The geothermal heat contributed significantly to melting of the underside of the glacier, and it might be a key factor in allowing the ice sheet to slide, affecting the ice sheet's stability and its contribution to future sea level rise.

Hi Mark,
Adding the fractions 1/2+1/3+1/4+1/5+1/6+1/7+1/8 = East Side Cubit. The base side lengths are intentionally different for a purpose. Understanding why they divided some cubit rods into 7 palms, 28 digits and others into subdivisions of 24 and 27 digits, other scales into 12, 72, and 360 subdivisions and why there are different length cubits.

Hi Mark,
Perhaps you missed when I stated: Therefore, one cubit = 1 + 1/2 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 = 1 23/32 which happens to equate to the number of feet in one of Petrie's ideal cubits; 1 23/32 x 12 = 20 5/8 = 20.625 inches.
One cubit noted in feet, (55/32) doubled 10 times provides the base perimeter in cubits of 55/32 feet.

Hi Byrd,
Thanks, I was aware of the papyrus you cite, but somehow thought there might be more. For nowhere in that document does it make mention of any structure for which the stone was to be used. It simply states he was making trips to the quarry overseeing the cutting and shipping of taura limestone blocks for Khufu.

Hi Mark,
What did the Ancient Egyptians actually record? Here is something interesting they could have possibly recorded.
The Cairo Calendar, a papyrus dating between 1163 and 1271 B.C. Scientists have detected a pattern in the calendar, one taking place every 2.85 days and suggest this approximately matches regular dimming of the star Algol in the constellation Perseus.

Hi Sam,
If you live in the northern hemisphere and walk outside the Sun is in the southern sky, is it not? The primary direction for the Ancient Egyptians was south, as the very earliest of maps would demonstrate. Earliest Egyptian maps show the south as up towards the origin of the Nile. If we look at the map of Saqqara with south at the top as the ancient Egyptians viewed their world….” - Dr
