(ORDO NEWS) — More than ten years of research by the Spanish architect Mikel Perez-Sanchez made it possible to accurately reconstruct the original appearance of the Great Pyramid of Cheops using a computer and determine that at its top there was a sphere with a diameter of more than two meters.
Pérez Sánchez, at the presentation of the book based on his doctoral dissertation, said that “it follows from the analysis of the pyramid that it was a kind of encyclopedia of the knowledge of its time.”
The Great Pyramid, the most important building of the Old Kingdom, was built during the reign of Pharaoh Khufu (2550 BC to 2527 BC), the second pharaoh of the 4th dynasty, whom Herodotus called Cheops.
This building has now lost its original white limestone covering, and its top has lost 9 meters in height, so its exact shape is still not known, Perez-Sanchez is convinced.
The sphere crowning the pyramid, according to Perez-Sanchez, symbolized the Eye of Horus and had a diameter of 2718 cubits (2.7 meters), which corresponds to the size of the number e.
He adds that this sphere was simultaneously proportional to the Sun and Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, which was associated with Isis.
The architect’s research, carried out with the support of a multidisciplinary team, made it possible to model the monument using a computer with an accuracy of 4 decimal places.
A three-dimensional drawing of the Great Pyramid made it possible to discover its original dimensions, analyze it and find out the historical significance of the monument.
Pérez-Sanchez explained that in addition to the sphere, this reconstruction made it possible to know “the angle of inclination of 51.84°, the support platform of the sphere around the perimeter of pi (m) real cubits, and the height of the top of the pyramid 277,778 real cubits, equal to the quotient of 1,000,000 divided by 3600”.
In his opinion, the discovery of the original shape and dimensions of the Great Pyramid, as well as its reconstruction and analysis, revealed an architecture based on mathematical, geometric, geodetic and astronomical calculations.
The original surface of the pyramid, “now in a dilapidated state”, was 100,000 times the number pi (μ), so in about 3000 years we will come closer to knowing μ.
The Egyptians possessed “unexpected scientific knowledge, among which, it should be noted, the use of the Pythagorean theorem two millennia before the Samian sage, the accuracy of determining the number pi with 6 decimal places, which was carried forward 3 millennia, as well as the knowledge of the number e. Earth, Sun and Sirius, which have been predicted for more than 4 millennia.
The geodetic dependence of the Great Pyramid was confirmed by scaling ratios based on the sexagesimal system: The Earth meridian can be obtained as 43,200 times the perimeter of the plinth in contact with the earth.
The polar radius is as much as 43,200 times the total height of the monument, and the average perimeter of the Earth is as much as 21,600 times the total perimeter of the plinth.
Based on the astronomical data provided by Plutarch, they allowed the monument to be placed in its historical context: “In the Great Pyramid, Pharaoh Khufu, while building his tomb, erected a cenotaph in memory of the Millennium of the Flood in memory of his dead ancestors.”
This fact explains the reason why Snefru, Khufu’s father, in search of an ideal pyramid built three pyramids during his reign: “This fact explains the efforts of Khufu’s architects to incorporate the knowledge of the past into the Great Pyramid.”
The architect also points out in his study that “the great sphinx is not the same age as the pyramids surrounding it, but rather belongs to an earlier civilization that fashioned it in the form of a lion in the eighth millennium BC.”
