A SIMPLE METHOD OF DESIGN PLACING THE DESCENDING PASSAGE, THE ASCENDING PASSAGE AND THE CHAMBERS IN THERE PLACE AS WAS INTENDED BY THE ARCHITECT.
This article shows how simple geometry was used to build the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. Simple ratios were used and a unique ratio 8.618:1 was used to break down the height the slant height and the base. It may have been designed using simple mathematics but it was accomplished by an exceptional architect and exceptional builders. They created the biggest man made structure that lasted for thousands of years.
This is an excellent article for geometry teachers. It introduces triangles, rectangles, angles, and ratios working together to get to a conclusion. It introduces a ratio 8.618:1. It touches history and it the shows ingenuity of the people of Egypt in the past. A good tool, all the work has been done.
A new ratio has been uncovered, namely 8.618:1, read about it.
The sides and base of the Pyramid follow this ratio.
The interior design was completed by using ratios, with 2:1 being most prominent.
This article dispels the myth of The Great Pyramid and Pi.
This article dispels the myth of The Great Pyramid and PHI.
This article shows geometry never see before in the Great Pyramid. For the first time, 8.618 in conjunction with the ratio 12:1.
The Great Pyramid has always been a source of mystery. People from all over the world have studied the greatest structure ever built. Many people have claimed the solution to Egypt’s greatest mystery but no one has been successful. It has been connected with the earth the sun the moon the stars, space, and even spacemen.
The mathematics involved in the construction have been deemed to be advanced and extremely complicated. For everyone involved in the quest for truth, the understanding of the architect’s methods was too hard for modern man to understand. That is just not true.
Everyone, no one excepted, forgot about simplicity. Designing ‘simply’ was what the architect did. His methods in designing the structure were simple but they were wise and ingenious. His knowledge of mathematics and putting it all together as he did deserves respect. But again, it was simple mathematics put together with extreme cunning. The intelligence of the architect is beyond reproach.
He used ratios in everything he designed within the pyramid. The ratio that placed the Descending passage and the Ascending passage with the Grand Gallery was the RATIO 2:1. The ratio 2:1 put everything in its proper place. Other ratio examples involved were 1.5:1, 2.5:1, 3:1, 4:1 5:1, 10:1 and 12:1. The last ratio 12:1 actually starts the design. The height of the Pyramid Entrance floor is located by this ratio.
The most important dimension, the dimension used most in the placement of the passageways is the height of the Entrance door. This dimension is used time and time again. This was an extremely important length to the architect.
Every ratio is accurate to four places after the point. Why four places? For the sake of accuracy and to allow any interested party to draw the structure accurately. Angles are accurate to three places after the point. No dimension had digits ‘put in’ to make things work. Please understand that angles were not put into the pyramid. The angles were dictated by the ratios. They were secondary to the lines of the passageways. The architect didn’t say “I want Xº” He got it simply because he drew a ratio and connected his points.
The ratio 12:1 also dictates the Pyramid slant side angle. This ratio must be put in accurately.
This ratio is the first to be used and dictates the position of every other ratio, dimension and angle. Everything may be simple but it must also be accurate.
It has also been stated that Pi 3.14159 and the Phi ratio 1:61803 is in the Pyramid design. This is not true. They are not there. You may get numbers close, say 3.145 for Pi but that is not good enough. If the mathematical statement for Pi says 3.14159 then it must be that, it can be no other number.
Please use the information supplied, plot it and enjoy, find out that the Great Pyramid dimension problem has finally been solved.
