The Great Pyramid: metamorphose of the architecture

[Vidusa]

Well perhaps the easiest thing is to restrict our interest to dimensionless claims, claims based on the ratios of distances rather than on the distances themselves: few historic units have universal definitions and it is hard to agree based on internet sources since it is impossible for us to verify their impartiality.

Universal definitions = science

If Science would accept the Sacred Cubic, it would also accept God's existence.However this is architectural forum, not religious forum; therefore we should respects its rules (we are already a bit of topic).

[Vidusa]

So either my screen or your conventions is switching commas and dots; if I had read further I would have realised you were using dots for thousands and commas for decimals so you win that one. However, I still don't get it, nor, I am afraid have I been able to read further, can you give me a _three line summary_ of what all these numbers are supposed to be doing, is the basic idea that the dimensions of some pyramids are in surprising ratio to dimensions found elsewhere?

I remain skeptical about the skein, it seems to have lots of different lengths in different definitions; the cubit is also a very variable length, usually shorter than the cubit you use, for example, the Egyptian cubit is 52.5 cm, many of the internal dimensions of the Great Pyramid are whole numbers in Egyptian cubits.

I am sorry to appear skeptical, that is because I am skeptical, I am, however, willing to bet I am the first person to try to check any of your calculations.

Two sides of the G. Pyramid's base = 730.484 sacred cubits = 46,385.734cm = 18,262.1 inches = Earth's speed around own axis on the Equator (in one second) = C

d = 20,606.58189 inches = 100 widths of the Pyramid's King's Chamber = 50 King's Chamber lengths

King's Chamber (length) = 206.0658189 inches = 10 Egyptian (Royal) Cubits

1 Royal Cubit = 20.60658189 inches = 52.340718cm

Egyptian Royal Cubit was created from the Earth's measurements (topics GEOMETRY OF THE KING'S CHAMBER and PASSAGE INTO THE KING’S CHAMBER, page 1).

But is there a dimensionless quantity we can discuss? Can you point to a whole number ration between one of the dimensions of the great pyramid and something the Egyptians should not be expect to know?

[Vidusa]

The history of Egypt was divided into Dynasties about 280 BC, when the priest Manetho compiled a list of the pharaohs of Egypt and grouped the ancient rulers into 30 dynasties. Later historians grouped the dynasties into 'Kingdoms' and 'Intermediate Periods.'

http://archaeology.about.com/od/eterms/g/egypt_timeline.htm?once=true&

The telling of one person is not a historical source. The history of ancient Egypt is without written proof.

The ancient Egyptians did not know and did not have the tools for cutting and drilling of granite stones and this is truly proof that these people at that time could not build the majestic pyramids. They could not know the size of the Earth or its distance from the Sun, nor could they be aware of the size of the Sun. The Great Pyramid clearly gives us all of these measurements thanks to its specific accuracy.

The cutting, drilling and polishing of tough granite and basalt stones:

[notjim]

Well this is what I am specifically asking: in a few sentences, without reference to any non-standard unit of measurement, what measurement indicates a knowledge of the dimensions of the earth?

[notjim]

Sorry I don't understand your reply: it seems your claim is that the dimensions of the pyramids indicate that their builders knew specific measurements related to the earth and the solar system; however, I am unable to read what you have written because it contains too many complicated calculations and because it refers to arcane units of measurement whose precise definition is not beyond dispute. I am hoping you could summarize what you regard as the most important instances of your claim in a few lines, preferably in a dimensionless way, that is, in terms of ratios: such a distance is a thousand times such another distance, the tan of such an angle is so and so, so that I can see for myself if what you say is true and then decide, as I regard as unlikely, whether the coincidences of length you mention are of sufficient significance to compel me to rethink my world view.

Are you suggesting that the pyramids were built with the assistance of extraterrestrial or supernatural means?

[Vidusa]

The Great Pyramid at Giza Egypt is the largest stone building ever constructed on Earth.
The Great Pyramid is located at the center of the land mass of Earth. The architect(s) had advanced science and geography data and knew the size and shape of the continents on a global scale. The basic dimensions of the Pyramid also include measurements of the size and shape of the Earth.
In the period 3000 - 2500 BC man did not have the tools or knowledge necessary to build the pyramids.
Who built the pyramids? Aliens or men?
The best answer is: aliens and men!

[notjim]

Yes: but I have no expertise regarding stone working and so I am naturally inclined to the majority view, held by experts, that the Egyptians built the pyramids. However, I had understood from all the numerology above that you had evidence for your unusual view that was based on particular measurements, this is something whose accuracy and significance I could judge for myself, so, I am hoping you could give me a summary of the most important part of this evidence in a form where it can be judged without further scholarship, that is, in dimensionless form: in ratios.

This is not any kind of numerology. All examples are very simple geometry.

# On a hardness scale (Moh's relative scale) of 1 to 10 (talc at 1, a penny at 3, a knife at 5.5, glass at 6, and a diamond at 10) most granite is rated between 6 and 7.
# Because of the hardness of minerals that make up granite, it requires diamonds along with water to cut and polish granite.

Has it ever been demonstrated that copper or bronze can cut granite?
Never!
Why?
It's impossible!

I presume that you are referring to the granite lying around the base of the pryamid with incisions upon them that could not have been made with Egyptian tools. I concede that these were not created by ancient Egyptians but more likely in recent centuries right up until the present as a result of the Pyramids being used pretty much as a quarry where the stones required little effort to extract. The reason that only half of the Coliseum in Rome is still in existence is as a result of Romans using the building for the raw materials of countless churches and buildings - some of St Peters basilica is made of stones from the Colleseum.

People also took pieces of the pyramids as souvenirs. My neighbour visited the site in the sixties and saw several stalls selling chunks of pryamid carved into minature pyramids. They may not have been genuine pieces of pryamid but the practice did exist. I belive that people chopping up pieces of the pryamid are to blame for the cuts and incisions on the granite

ANGLE OF THE ASCENDING PASSAGE



The arrows show the Earth's axis-movement (the stars move in the opposite way)

NCP = North Celestial Pole* (North Celestial Pole is up from the horizon exactly an angle equal to your latitude).
EP = Ecliptic Pole
EP-NCP = 23.4461943º
GP-NCP = 30º = position of the Great Pyramid = 30º N
β = 26.3026897º = GP-EP = angle of the Great Pyramid's Ascending passage

The Ecliptic Pole (EP) is the point on the celestial sphere where the sphere meets the imaginary line perpendicular to the ecliptic plane, the path the Earth travels on its orbit around the Sun.The North Ecliptic Pole is in the constellation Draco.

Precession of the Equinoxes: the positions of the poles and equator on Earth do not change, only the orientation of the Earth against the fixed stars.

NCP = 90º
Angle of the Ascending passage = 26.3026897º

90º - 26.3026897º = 63.6973103º = the angle of the Ascending passage doesn't point to the star Thuban.

Thuban (Alpha Draconis) DEC = +64.37583333º



2000 AD: North Celestial Pole and Thuban (Alpha Draconis)

NCP-Thuban = 90º - 64.37583333º = 25.62416667º

Angle of the Ascending passage = 26.3026897º = the angle of the Ascending passage doesn't point to the star Thuban.

The rate of general precession is 50.291 arc seconds per year:

231,753 : 50.291 = 4608.240043 years

4608.240043 - 2000 AD = 2608 BC = Thuban was the polar star.
