Chephren’s Pyramid
In the very recent post Inside Chepren’s Pyramid, Part One, I offered some observations about the upper coffer chamber (“Belzoni’s Chamber”)
“…If we scroll back up to the last diagram, we see that the bottoms of the holes in the walls are at (on left) 524 cm – (26 + 140 cm) = 358 cm = 3.58 m, and (on right) as 524 cm – (29 + 136 cm) = 359 cm = 3.59 m.
3.58 m = 11.74540682 ft
3.59 m = 11.77821522 ft = ~11.77245771
The shorter measure could have been meant to express either the Wonder Number 1.174-something that I’ve posed about before https://pijedi.home.blog/2020/01/24/the-story-of-a-number-another-one/, or a 1.173-something number that may belong to ancient calendar formulas.
Suffice to say, it’s tempting me to have faith in at least some of Margioglio and Rinaldi’s data.“
Something that I didn’t mention yet because I’m not all that certain about it, is that the height of the wall at the right of the diagram above the recess in the wall, 136 cm = 4.461942257 feet.
Because this is the reciprocal of about 224 (1 / 4.461942257 = 224.1176471 / 10^n), which to me is thus far sort of an approximation of the Venus Orbital Period of about 225 that should only be used if and when absolutely necessary (if there ever really is such a time), it’s tempting to want to see this as 1 / 224.8373808 = 4.447658999, and if it were this, the total height of the wall excepting the niche, would be about
11.77245771 + 4.447658999 = 16.22011671, a particularly good approximation of the quintessential 16.22311470 ft (accuracy .9998152025) already suggested as the distance from this wall to the opposite wall on the left side of the diagram.
After some casual examination of the possibility implied by Vyse’s data that the height of this chamber is, to put it properly, the same height as the King’s Chanber in Cheop’s pyramid, I think I’m more inclined to go with Petrie’s figures (and reputation) for the chamber having a height of 17.18873385 ft or 10 Morton Royal Cubits.
Thus the height of the niche in the wall to the right might be about 17.18873385 – 16.22311470 = 0.95619150 ft. (29.1447169 cm, vs the 29 cm raw data value from Maragioglio and Rinaldi).
The total height for the niche plus the part of the wall above it would of course be as proposed, 17.18873385 – 11.77245771 = 5.416276140, or about 4.447658999 + 0.968617141 = 5.416276140.
That’s a little bit perplexing, but here is something I’ve been considering.
11.77245771 + 5.411616168 = 17.18407388, which is the 10 Royal Cubit height to an acceptable accuracy of 17.18407388 / 17.18873385 = .999728893.
5.411616168 – 4.447658999 = .963957162 = 1 / 1.037390497, which is 1.037549893 to an even more acceptable accuracy of 1.037390497 / 1.037549893 = .9998463724.
1.037549893 has a number of “aliases” that help identify it as an important number. The more interesting aliases a number accumulates, the more we might expect that it is an easily and frequently referenced number by means of the various formulas that represent its aliases, as with any important numbers generally speaking.
1.037549893 = 1.031324031 x 1.006036766 = 2.882083036 x (360 / 1000) = (5 / 224.8373808) x 360^3) / 10^n = (9 x 1.177245771) x ((2 Pi)^5) = etc.
As a measurement, (1.037549893 x 10) = (972 / 10) x Hashimi Cubit 1.067438159. In miles, 103.7549893 miles would be 1/240 of the Earth’s equatorial circumference 24901.19742 / 240 = 103.7549893.
5.411616168 is from Michael Morton’s “geomathematical work”, and part of our efforts to see if Munck’s global grid gave meaningful coordinates to noteworthy modern monuments; it is his “Grid Point” or “Grid Vector” for the Washington Monument. It is partly derived from height or symbolic height of Washington Monument 555.5555555 ft x (Pi^4) = 54116.16168 — (1 / (360 / 2) = 5.555555555 / 10^n)).
5.411616168 x 2 = 10.82323232 — it’s thought that this number was probably inportant to ancient calendars, including that 10.82323232 x 4 x 100 = 4329.292929, which can be utilized to represent the 4332.59 day Jupiter Orbital Period.
Why would ancient Egyptian math wizards choose to combine these particular numbers? Well, some of the display seems rather devoted to a rather regal expression of some of the most important of all numbers like 1.177245771 and 1.622311470, but even though I’m familiar with 5.411616168, there are things about it I’ve forgotten, and since it dates to before the realization that ancient architecture seems focused on the subject of calendars, no doubt there are things about 5.411616168 that I never knew.
Relative to the total wall height according to Petrie, 10 Royal Cubit = 17.18873385 using Morton’s Cubit
17.18873385 / 5.411616168 = 3.176266264, which we know is also important to ancient calendars, and which might be found in various forms in Cheops’ and Chephren’s pyramids in additional situations.
An interesting thing is that if we drag the Egyptian Remen value of 1.216733603 (ft) into the proceedings during a routine metrological investigation, we find that
5.411616168 x 1.216733603 = 6584.495230, probably the best and most useful approximation easily afforded by these numbers of the 6585.32 day lunar Saros Cycle, while 5.411616168 / 1.216733603 = 4.447659007 = 5 / 224.8373808.
4.447659007 is, again, the same number tentatively proposed for the height of the same wall from the top of the recess to the top of the walls.
5.411616168 / (1.216733603^2) = 365.5409036, which is a recognizable approximation of the Solar Year even if somewhat uncertain whether it represents what it seems to, which is one of the values applicable to representing the the 365.25 day year as opposed to the 365 day calendar year.
365.5409036 bears the very noble distinction that it can be formed from two of the numbers most important to the Great Pyramid pyramid, 2 Pi and the Royal Cubit
(2 Pi) / Royal Cubit 1.718873385 = 3.655409036
5.411616168 also readily forms an interesting series with the 1.622311470 that seems to be present at least once in the immediate vicinity of 5.411616168.
5.411616168 also facilitates some exponential use of 4.447659007
5.411616168 / (4.447659007^3) = 6.150813169. This “Mayan” Wonder Number is the reciprocal of the projected missing apex of the Great Pyramid measured in Royal Cubits
Missing apex height 27.94546572 ft / 1.718873385 = 16.25801293 Royal Cubits = 1 / 6.150813167 / 100.
5.411616168 is also series-forming with (1.622311470 x 1.177245771 = 6 / Pi).
Earlier it was stated that
5.411616168 – 4.447658999 = .963957162 = 1 / 1.037390497, which is 1.037549893 to an even more acceptable accuracy of 1.037390497 / 1.037549893 = .9998463724.
1.037549893 / 5.411616168 = 1.917264385 / 10, which has only been recently identified as probably an important number, and
1.037549893 / (5.411616168^2) = 354.2868392 which may be an intended approximation of the 354.367 day Lunar Year. How the Lunar Year proper, rather than the 354 day calendar Lunar Year, would have been represented is still under consideration; however, 354.2868392 “just so happens to be” the Lunar Year value corresponding to the main approximation of literal value for the Lunar Month,
29.52390327 x 12 = 354.2868392
For the wall at the left side of the diagram, it was previously proposed that the slight variations in measurement on this side of the wall might afford ten times the Wonder Number 1.174718783.
17.18873385 – 11.74718783 = 5.441546020 ft = 2.720773010 x 2 = 2.720174976 x 2 that’s 2 of the main Megalithic Yard of 2.720174976 ft to an at least fair accuracy of 2.720174976 / 2.720773010 = .999780197
The height of the recess on this wall is given as 26 cm, which is 0.853018272 ft, which somewhat resembles 1/2 of the Morton Royal Cubit (1.718873385 / 2 = 0.859436692 ft), which would leave a remainder from 2.727072976 x 2 of
(2.720174976 x 2) – 0.853018272 = 4.587331680, which is (1.460080323 x Pi) = 4.586977616 to an accuracy of 4.586977616 / 4.587331680 = .999922817, which exceeds the accuracy available with the proposal of (1.067438150 x 16) / 20 = 0.8359505272 ((2.720174976 x 2) – 0.8359505272 = 4.586399425), 4.586399425 / 4.586977616 = .999869589 (although maximum accuracy may not always identify the best candidates).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sothic_cycle “The Sothic cycle or Canicular period is a period of 1,461 Egyptian Civil years of 365 days each or 1,460 Julian years averaging 365¼ days each.”
However, whether the combination of numbers thus arrived at in this way is truly a sensible combination remains to be seen, and there are after all a number of different Megalithic Yard values that may be in use. If we have not yet found the right numbers for this side of “Belzoni’s Chamber” according to our data, we may be very close.
Perhaps we leave this part of the proceedings for another day. If we’ve gotten the other side of the chamber right, it’s already milestone.
Cheers!
