The Step Pyramid of Khufu: A study

[Don Barone]

Introducing The Step Pyramid of Khufu maybe not seen in untold millenia ...



It actually worked out pretty awesome . I liked how each platform was 60 cubits less than the one below it . All angles used were 75.005 or 280/75

What do you think ?

Next I will take a shot at Khafre . But you know if all they were really doing was changing a step pyramid to what we see today the time needed is greatly reduced and almost seem plausible.

Okay what started out as a simple mind game (turning The Pyramid of Khufu into a step pyramid) has developed into perhaps an interesting proof. Many attempts have been made to explain what are referred to as The King's and Queen's Chambers and none really have been all that convincing. Into that discussion I now throw this .

In my diagram I have used 224 cubits as the top of my step pyramid and decided to see if had any relationship to 280 . If we allow 280 to equal 5 then 224 equals 4 or 1.25 to 1 conversely we get 0.8 (remember this) So it seemed reasonable.

However I was working on a theory and as we all should know if you have read my previous postings if we allow 280 to equal ✓2 + 2 then 1 will equal 82.01 and nicely explains the positioning of "The King's Chamber" but what of The Queen's Chamber ? That 41.25 has driven me nuts for years as I searched for rhyme or reason for it being there and now I would like to offer up a solution . Clive Ross (rest his soul) was convinced that the height of The Great Pyramid was 275 so I decided to see if there was any relationship between 275 and 154 . We had already discussed 280/154 as being 20 and 11 with 280 being 20, 154 being 11 and balance of 126 being 9 (and maybe height of Pyramid of Menkaure) But back to 275 and 154. First however let's look at half base 220 and height 275 . Do these show us anything and when we do the simple math we find that 224/280 is identical to 220/275 both equalling 0.8 or 1.25 and giving us an angle of 51.34° same as Menkaure.

But back to that pesky Queen's Chamber what was it's solution ? But first what of 275 and 154 ? Seems the builders went through a lot of trouble to draw attention to it. So what I did was to see if there was any obvious relationship between 275 and 154 and found to my delight that 275/154 can be reduced nicely to 25/14 with 275 being 25 and 154 being 14 but it reduces even nicer by reducing to 7 for 275 and 5.5 for 154 and of course we can see that these are the building blocks of The Great Pyramid of Khufu . But it shows us even more. If we take a line 25 units in length and mark 14 on it by swinging this at 90° we create a template for The Great Pyramid.

I had been formulating an idea for some time and when I saw the plans of The Pyramid of Meidum it seemed to be all so logical . But first what of that 41.25 ? Well I divided it into 275 and got very nicely I might add 6.6666 (the mark of The Beast and maybe Cain?) So if 41.25 was 1 275 was 6.6666 or 6 and 2/3rds

So here is what I thought . What if The Queen's Chamber was the top of Phase 1 with The King's Chamber being Phase 2 and the surrounding building, as at Meidum Phase 3 . Could I make it all work ? I think I have quite nicely . The horizontal passageway into The Queen's Chamber was simply built along the top of Phase 1 . Could I make all the slope angles fit ? What I have come up with is how I now believe The Great Pyramid was built. It makes total sense and shows I think that Meidum never collapsed it was built that way . One last discovery I made harkens back to The Bent Pyramid and how they used slope of 60° . Could I incorporate this angle in my plan. I could and I did as I discovered that 275/160 is 1.71875 and tan for 59.8° so perhaps Phase 1 used 60°

It would have looked like this ...



and it could have gone like this ...



And it now graphically illustrates why the split is where it is for the passageways . It is at the point where 60° crosses.

With a little help from John Legon's diagram (saved me hours digging up Petrie's notes) I wanted a close up check of my theory ... I will leave it to the audience to see if I have made my point

First John's diagram ...



and now mine



It seems that a step pyramid incorporating 60° and 75° slopes might have been the game plan.

Hi all. I went searching on Google to see if I could find an ancient burial mound in relation to my new theory that The Great Pyramid could have started from this meager beginning . To that end I found a wonderful video which I will post here and it has been speculated that Newgrange was in fact a hope for life after death, a sort of rejuvenation mound and is that not what these ancient Egyptian Pyramids were going to do . We assume it was for The King or Pharaoh but in the earliest of days it might have been for everyone .

Anyway food for thought and as you watch the video try to imagine The Great Pyramid as that primal mound of legend
