Who knows? It’s hard to tell since apparently someone went and lost the blueprints… It’s been giving me fits most of the day that some of what I proposed in the previous post yesterday doesn’t add up, and I’ve been checking on all sorts of things trying to get to the bottom of what happened.Continue reading “Is This The Original Plan For The Giza Pyramids?”

A Strange (and Wondrous) Day at Giza
Greetings, all I find my attention drawn toward ancient Egyptian architecture again, for a number of reasons that might sound tangential if I went into full detail, but today started out with the realization that the Harris-Stockdale Unifying Value could perhaps be an oversized variant of the Full Moon Cycle. The original note that expressesContinue reading “A Strange (and Wondrous) Day at Giza”
More on Lahun and Giza
Lahun: Radius and Arc-Length of the Sepulchral Chamber’s Ceiling Arc I have attempted a little more work on the Sepulchral Chamber of the pyramid at (El-)Lahun iin Egypt, and a little more on the data for Khentkawes I’s tomb at Giza as well. Things still aren’t exactly clear, particularly with the Sepulchral Chamber, but theyContinue reading “More on Lahun and Giza”
Does the Munck Megalithic Yard Have a Use?
Lately I’ve been looking at some work by others regarding area and volume figures for the Great Pyramid – very interesting stuff. However, I’m also reminded of some of things that happen in my own “realm” concerning this subject. I don’t want to say that the ancients didn’t really care about surface area and volumeContinue reading “Does the Munck Megalithic Yard Have a Use?”
“Progress Report” on the Giza Layout
Earlier today, I posted this the following to the Megalithic Portal. I am not certain what to make of it but I find it very intriguing, and thought I’d share it with readers: Well, let’s see – I was aspiring to have a look at data for the Mount Pleasant henge and see if IContinue reading ““Progress Report” on the Giza Layout”
Paving The Way
At present, I seem to be doing too much juggling for my own good. With one hand, I am working on the ultra-Herculean task of attempting to make sense of the larger layout of the Giza pyramids, while at the same time I have been tempted to start looking the engineering of Egypt’s ancient pyramidContinue reading “Paving The Way”
A Number Never Mentioned
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 seemContinue reading “A Number Never Mentioned”
Giza’s Dirty Little Secret?
I have a lot of pieces of paper flying about with calculations relating to the Giza layout, so I sat down to put some of them into HTML tables. One of the first things that happened is that I set up a ratio matrix (a list of the dividends of all the numbers divided byContinue reading “Giza’s Dirty Little Secret?”
A Postcard from Quirigua (and Giza)
I may end up taking that this back at some later point – I seem to be in unfamiliar territory with this, both geographically and mathematically – but I thought I might share with readers some of the last puzzle to get on my radar, since whatever the answers may be, parts of the discussionContinue reading “A Postcard from Quirigua (and Giza)”
A Postcard from Palenque #2
On the road toward – hopefully – a deeper understanding of the mathematics of Palenque, I think I might have a few more minor observations to cobble together. At House G of the Palace, the South Room measures according to George Andrews 13.12 m long, 2.50 m wide, and 2.13 m high. In feet that’sContinue reading “A Postcard from Palenque #2”
