One more time... phi is not pi nor vice versa. A square isn't a circle... that is all

Did you know that during WWII allied and Axis forces used the Sphinx and pyramids as target practice? There are many bullet and shell marks from weapons of varying calibers.
The Sphinx itself was heavily hit by rifle fire. There's loads of crazy facts about this area.

the distance to sun is not one light-year...
it's more like 5 minutes in speed of light.

We're glad you've figured it out & are on the same page as the rest of us. Pi = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi
& is what H2O was talking about page one, you've inserted Phi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi)
The Great Pyramid at Giza, built c.2550-2500 B.C, was precisely 1760 cubits around with a height of 280 cubits (1760/280=2xPi).
The 5 angles of the Great Pyramid are:
edge to edge of face at apex =76:17:13.2 (degrees - minutues - seconds),
edge to diagonal edge at apex = 96:3:0.0, dihedral or
face to face parallel to base = 112:25:39.4
edge to base = 41:59:50.5
face to base = 51:51:14.3.
The face to base angle is the angle of the casing stones.
The Great Pyramid is the only pyramid to have chambers above ground level.
The volume of the pyramid is:
V = 1/3 base area x height =161,559,817,000 cubic
PI = 10,339,828.3 cubic pyramid cubits
{(5813.2355653 PI)/3 * 9131 PI * 9131 PI}
The length of the Great Pyramid's corner edges are 8688.00 PI.
The slant face height of the Great Pyramid's sides are 7391.72 PI.
The area of the base covers 13.3 acres or 83,375,161 sq. PI.
The area of each face covers 10.8 acres or 67,493,782 sq PI.
The angle of the Descending Passage is 26 deg, 18 min, 9.5 sec or about 26.30 degrees.
The passages are straight to within 0.013 in. per 100 ft. The dimensions of the Descending Passage are 4535 PI in length, 41.524 PI in width, and 36.197 PI in height. [4:197]
I absolutley have not figured it out and am not on the same page in the least... I was taught that pi is an irrational number and derived only from circles and impossible to arrive at by squares. I also didn't know that it could be used as a measurement....

They only did that to keep the Royal acquisitions in the family just like more recent royals...
Like the royal house of Hapsburg have a very noticable genetic defect from royal inbreeding.

See, everything I have read said the other way around. Only the Gods on Earth-pharaohs could do that.

I heard the famous Aztec pyramid (or was it the Mayan?) has exactly the same perimeter footprint as the big Giza pyramid.
just saw this thread! i used to work for a drilling company and the most fascinating stories in the driller community regarding the pyramids is that many of the rooms that have been carved out of solid slabs of different rock types used at base of pyramids could not be replicated today by the best drillers in the world using the leading technology. the exactness of the measurements and the finish of the rooms, even after however many thousands of years, is truly amazing and unexplainable. i seem to remember also, that one of the great pyramids, if you were to illuminate from inside, the light that would escape from the ventilation shafts would line up perfectly at certain times with orions belt.
It was a world wide culture.
The Pyramid of the Sun and the Great Pyramid of Egypt are almost or very nearly equal to one another in base perimeter. The Pyramid of the Sun is "almost" half the height of the Great Pyramid. There is a slight difference. The Great Pyramid is 1.03 - times larger than the base of the Pyramid of the Sun. Conversely, the base of the Pyramid of the Sun is 97% of the Great Pyramid's base.
The ratio of the base perimeter to the height:
Great Pyramid Pyramid of the Sun
6.2800001... : 1
(deviates by 0.05 % from the
6.2831853 value for 2 x pi) 12.560171... : 1
(deviates by 0.05 % from the
12.566371 value for 4 x pi)
The ratio of their height to the perimeter of their base are both based on the mathematical ratio 'pi'. The perimeter of the base of the Pyramid of the Sun is 4pi times its height, whereas the Great pyramid of Giza's base perimeter is 2pi times its height. The mathematical ratio 'pi' is based on knowledge of geometry, so the use of 'pi' implies knowledge of sophisticated mathematics also.

The only thing that would really impress me in this thread is if someone said they toked up a doob at The Pyramids.

Our Leafs went with Pyramid Power.
During the 1976 Quarterfinals against the Flyers, Red Kelly utilized his ‘Pyramid Power’ theory as a psychological ploy. Kelly had his players believe that pyramids were a source of energy and strength. The Leaf coach then placed small pyramids under the bench and in the dressing room. All this was to no avail as the hated Flyers won the bitter quarterfinal series in 7 games.
