Great Pyramid Essay, Research Paper
What are the dimensions of the Great Pyramid?
The Great Pyramid is composed of four triangular sides and a square base. It covered an area of 13 acres. The original height of the Great Pyramid was 485
feet, but due to erosion its height declined to 450 feet. Each side of the square base is 755.5 feet in length. The angle of the pyramid is 51 degrees, 51 minutes,
and 14.3 seconds.
Now the Great Pyramid is built on a perfectlu level ground. Its level is so exact that it varies less that 1/2 inches over the 13 acres says Max Thoth. This is an
amazing feat for the ancient surveyors and would have been difficult, if not almost impossible to match, even today with our advanced technology.
It consists of approximately 2.5 million blocks that weight from 2 tons to over 70 tons. The blocks on the top of the pyramid are from the same site and time
period as those on the bottom. The stones are cut so precisely that a credit card cannot fit between them. No one knows if the builders deliberately or
inadvertently left the capstone off, but this will be discussed in Part Two.
Originally, the Great Pyramid The Great Pyramid Decoded was covered with highly polished limestones that reflected the sunlight. Peter Lemesurier
states in his book that the Great Pyramid cast a star light reflection on the desert floor, which the Egyptians used to discern the seasons of the year and as a
beacon light.
Max Toth points out in his book Pyramid that archaeologists believed that the copper tools of the Egyptians used during the estimated period the great
Pyramid was built, would be too soft for cutting the stones. How these stones were cut is great mystery. Even with today’s technology the cutting of these
stones is an awesome task. How these stones were transported and put into place is another mystery. Now there are all types of theories about the
construction of the Great pyramid but none of them furnish satisfactory answers.
What is the alignment of the Great Pyramid?
There are many remarkable points found in the dimensions of the pyramid. One of the first items discovered about the pyramid is that it is aligned with the
four points of the compass. This means that its four sides point toward true East, West, North, and South.
The error from true north is about 1/12 of a degree and what is even more astounding is that this orientation was done without a compass, which was not
invented until the 1500 years after the Messiah’s birth. Now you may wonder if the perfect aligning to the four points of the compass was a coincidence or
was this purposed and planned in the design. Some believe that the pyramid was built about 4000 years before the birth of the Messiah.
For the Great Pyramid to be perfectly aligned with the four cardinal points on the compass means that the builder either had some way of determining
directions or that neither the Egyptians nor any human designed it. Other dimensions of the Great Pyramid show that it was literally impossible for Egyptians
or any other humans to have designed or built it.
Th
of the Great Pyramid. How this knowledge was obtained no one knows. In short, the builders of the Great Pyramid had to be some of the best world geologists
to be able to pick the site.
The Great Pyramid is located in the center of all the landmasses (see diagram on p. 31). Many pyramidologists believe that the meridian line running north and
south on the globe passing through the Pyramid (31 degree East of Greenwich) should be the zero line of the whole world. By drawing a horizontal line through
the pyramid one can see the pyramid is the center of the landmasses. Again one sees that the architect of the Pyramid had to know the location in advance and
it has only been in the last 100 years that men have had these capabilities.
Now the angle of passageways inside the pyramid is 26 degrees 18 minutes 9.7 seconds. Traveling away from the Great Pyramid at the same angle of 26
degrees 18 minutes 9.7 seconds to the equator, one would pass through the birthplace of the Messiah. This has to something more than coincidence, which will
be discuss in more detail than in Part II.
What revelations are known about the dimensions of the Great Pyramid?
Max Toth in his book Pyramid states how many interpreted the various dimensions of the Great Pyramid. It reads: “?pyramidologists believe that the
Pyramid in all its symbolism, represents the laws of the universe expressed geometrically (p. 189).” This cannot be denied if history is correct about when
men acquired certain knowledge. The dimensions of the Great Pyramid will show its purpose and plan in the design. Space is not available to list all these
correlation’s, but a few of the most important and the simplest to understand will be provided. Here are some of the dimensions and their correlation to
astronomical calculations.
The base unit of measurement in the Pyramid’s is 25.052 inches. The Pryamid’s inch is 1.0025 of our regular inch. Each side of its base is 365.2422
cubits, which is the exact number of days in a solar year. Now 365.24 cubits occur five or six times somewhere within the pyramid that shows it was
not a coincidence.
The Pyramid’s perimeter, the distance around the four sides of the base, correlates with the circumference of the earth.
According to Professor Piazzi Smyth, multiplying the height of the Pyramid’s 35th layer by 10 derives the distance of the earth from the sun.
The base unit of measurement used by the Pyramid designer is ten-millionth of the earth’s polar radius, according Peter Lemeisuier. Simply put it is
one ten millionth the distance from the North Pole to equator.
The number of days in a century (100 years) is 36,524 days and corresponds to the total inches valued in the Pyramid’s perimeter.
The number Pi is the mathematical constant 3.1415, with the ratio of the diameter to the distance around the circle, called the circumference. In the
pyramid it is the ratio of the height to twice the length of the base.
