The Great Pyramid

The great pyramid of Giza (or Pyramid of Khufu/ Pyrmaid of Cheops)

Interesting Facts!

Dimensions:

There is a correlation between The Fibonacci sequence and the PI formula in the way The Great Pyramid was built (More info to come on that in a future post).

13 Acres are covered by The Great Pyramid.  The Original Height is said to be 485 feet, due to erosion and elemental factors however the height declined down to 450 feet.  The angle of the pyramid is 51 degrees, 51 minutes and 14.3 seconds.

The Mortar

Back in 1983-84 an attempt to carbon date The Great Pyramid was conducted by Mark Lehner and Robert Wenke as apart of the ‘Pyramid Carbon Dating Project’.  13 samples from The Great Pyramid were taken all with differing dates of 3101-2853 B.C. To this day people cannot agree on the dates that the Mortar was constructed.  The mortar itself is made of unknown origin. It has been analysed and scientists know what the chemical composition is yet it can not be reproduced.

Star Alignments

The shafts of The Great Pyramid are in alignment with Duat, where structures on Earth are in alignment with the heavens (stars). The 3 main Pyramids align with the belt of Orion

The Great Pyramid, alignment with the moon

The above illustration by Gary Osborne shows us that the capstone of The Great Pyramid is pointing directly at the moon among having the south pole in line with the lower left to top right shaft of The Great Pyramid.

(Authors note, Wikipedia really has shit all useful information on The Great Pyramid!)
