Well, perhaps it’s more like a number very rarely mentioned.
At present I am continuing to try to find ways to fathom the data resulting from combining WMF Petrie’s data for the distances between centers of the three main Giza pyramids with my established models of these pyramids.
In the course of this, I seem to have encountered a number I have known about for a very long time, from back in the early days working with Michael Morton. I’ve always felt it would be a likely number to find at Giza because of some of its mathematical properties, but it never seems to have appeared in a particular place with any certainty.
It may be that it’s simply easily overshadowed by other numbers, like 1.06748159^2 or another very similar number, but in spite of the number of times it’s been looked at, it seems to struggle to “make a name for itself”.
The number is 113.7800777 (decimal placement optional).
sqrt 1.137800777 = 1.066677448, which probably isn’t a valid number, to the best of my knowledge, but the resemblance to the standard 1.067438159 ft Hashimi Cubit (equals Egyptian Royal Foot / 1.08) is difficult to overlook.
The metrology would actually be 113.7800777 ft = 54 Palestinian Cubits, where we already have 360 Palestinian Cubits as the width of the Great Pyramid’s platform, and the proposed distance North-South from the center of Chephren’s pyramid to Mycerinus’ from Petrie’s data is 15170.4 inches / 12 = 1264.200000 ft, proposed to mean 15170.67702 in / 12 = 1264.223085 ft (7200 Palestinian Cubits), which may also be a number that recurs within the Giza layout in some different metrologies.
1264.223085 x 9 = 113.7800777
It may have also been found in the King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid, in an elaborate mathematical scheme that recognizes some of the chamber’s actual reported measurements, rather than simply its mean measurements.
Nor may it be all that difficult to find at Stonehenge – if we take the 316.0557713 mean circumference of the sarsen circle and multiply by the 360 degrees of a circle,
316.0557713 x 360 = 113.7800777
113.7800777 is actually part of a fairly nice 2 Pi series, although it may help a bit to appreciate that if we double it before we begin dividing it consecutively by 2 Pi. We also get an important series by dividing it consecutively by Pi that includes the Egyptian Royal Foot and the Inverse Lintel (Circle) Megalithic Yard, along with what is thought to be the number of Royal Cubits in the base of the Bent Pyramid at Dahshur, if the equatorial circumference it seems to be trying to express is the common equatorial one.
That looks like this
113.7800777 / Pi^2 = 11.52833214 = 10 Egyptian Royal Feet in modern feet
113.7800777 / (Pi^3) = 3.669582092 = 1 / (Lintel Meg Yard 2.725105952 ft / 10)
113.7800777 / Pi = 36.21732356; 36.21732356 x 10 Royal Cubit 1.718873385 = 622.4299355, possible sidelength of Bent Pyramid in feet = 24901.19742 / 4.
(36.21732356 = Palestinian Cubit 2.107038476 x Royal Cubit 1.718873385)
Surprisingly, 113.7800777 links to the proposed Great Pyramid slope length of 575.1793153 without the apex section but with proposed missing pavement layer, via the square of the primary Venus Orbital Period
5751793.153 / (224.8373808^2) = 113.7800777
It can also be seen as Radian^2 x Eclipse Year
(57.29577951^2) x 346.5939372 = 113.7800777 x 10^n
So yes, 113.7800777 is “something”, although it may be more likely to appear as a ratio or product of other measurements than an actual measurement itself, and the two calendar related equations seen here were actually discovered while writing this, so there may still be a lot we don’t know about this number.
Let me play around with it for another minute here and see what else we might find… Let’s try the number 12 as a probe and see if we find any known metrological units, or other important data
113.7800777 / (12^1) = 948.1673148
That’s Munck’s Great Pyramid perimeter (3018.119298 x Pi) / 10
113.7800777 / (12^3) = Saros Cycle 6584.495241 days / 10^n
I’m glad I decided to share it with everyone.
