The Cosmology of the Great Pyramid Part 2: Exterior and Interior Design based on the ACST (original) (raw)

This study is the second part of a three-part series exploring the geometric relationships that underpin ancient structures. Part 1 focused on geometric approximations in ancient Egypt, while Part 3 will tie these findings together by exploring the solstitial and metrological correlations between the Great Pyramid and Stonehenge via Heliopolis. In this part, the study delves into the geometric relationship between the interior and exterior design of the Great Pyramid, with an emphasis on the placement of the King's Chamber and coffer within the broader architectural framework. Utilizing Petrie's precise survey measurements, the research investigates how the pyramid's structure aligns along three primary axes-the X-axis (east/west), Y-axis (north/south), and Z-axis (vertical)-which form the foundation of its geometric integrity. The study reveals that the pyramid's interior, particularly the King's Chamber, adheres to the same geometric principles that shape its exterior. The deliberate offset of the chamber in relation to these axes, especially its NW corner, reflects key mathematical relationships such as the silver ratio and √2, creating a seamless harmony between the pyramid's internal configuration and its monumental exterior form. A central focus of this part is the elevation of the King's Chamber floor at 42.946 meters, which divides the pyramid's height according to the silver ratio and √2 proportions. This calculated design aligns the chamber with broader geometric principles governing the pyramid's height, base, and axes. The NW corner of the King's Chamber forms a 16 x 5 1/11 Royal Cubits pi rectangle with the pyramid's axes, underscoring the intentional inclusion of pi and √2 within its design. This discovery highlights that the Great Pyramid's layout is not only symbolic but deeply rooted in precise mathematical principles, reflecting both the silver ratio and pi. The study concludes by examining the placement of Khufu's coffer in relation to the King's Chamber, suggesting that Khufu's mouth, placed at the south side of the coffer, holds symbolic and geometric significance. The positioning of Khufu's mouth, dividing the space within the chamber according to the silver ratio, mirrors the external design of the pyramid, where the height and base reflect the pi ratio and the circle-square relationship. This interconnectedness between the interior and exterior demonstrates that the pyramid's design was meant to symbolically align Khufu's journey in the afterlife with the geometric order of the cosmos. Additionally, it highlights the conceptual framework of the square-circle relationship that the ancient builders likely employed for both the architecture and the metaphysical meaning behind it.
