   What if it isn't? What if the great pyramid is different in kind from the other pyramids, not just in degree? What if the developmental sequence explains the other pyramids but not this one? That is the question that some researchers starting from the engineering anomalies in the pyramid itself and working outward have been asking for several decades and it leads somewhere genuinely interesting. Let me start with the basic dimensions because they are the foundation of everything that follows. The Great Pyramid at its original height of 146 and a half meters and with a base perimeter of 921 met…

   And then there are the measurements in relation to the Earth itself. The Great Pyramid is located at approximately 29.9° north latitude. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,792 km/s. a number that when expressed in the appropriate units produces the number 29.979. The correspondence between the pyramid's latitude and the speed of light has been noted, though this is almost certainly coincidence. The modern definition of a meter from which the speed of light figure is derived post dates the pyramid by 4 and a half thousand years. More interesting and less easily dismissed as coi…

   The second stage was 13 /gar/ square by 3 in height (Smith, 260 by 60 feet). He conjectured, from the expression used, that it had sloping sides. Stages three to five were each one /gar/ (Smith, 20 feet) high, and respectively 10 /gar/ (Smith, 200 feet), 8 1/2 /gar/ (170 feet), and 7 /gar/ (140 feet) square. The dimensions of the sixth stage are omitted, probably by accident, but Smith conjectures that they were in proportion to those which precede. His description omits also the dimensions of the seventh stage, but he gives those of the sanctuary of Belus, which was built upon it. This was 4 …

   Imagine standing at the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza at night. Not the tourist experience, not the sound and light show, not the crowds, not the modern city of Cairo glowing on the horizon, just the pyramid itself in the dark with the stars overhead and the desert around you and the stone in front of you. The stone is closer than you expected. You are standing perhaps 2 m from the base and the pyramid fills your entire field of vision. It is not a shape in the distance, not a silhouette against the sky that you can take in whole. It is a wall, an enormous, almost vertical wall of limeston…

   Human imagination is extraordinary capable of conceiving things vastly larger than any monument. But because the pyramid is here physically and the scale of its physical presence is not something the mind can process the way it processes an abstract number. 2 and a half million blocks is a fact you can hold. Standing at the base in the dark is an experience you cannot. The stone under your hand if you reach out and touch it, if the guards allow it, if you can reach past the low fence at the base is warm. The Egyptian sun has been heating the limestone since dawn, and the stone holds that heat …

   DAVID CHILDRESS: As you travel around the world trying to piece together this puzzle of the ancient world, there's not that much to really get a good grasp on. But what there is is giant blocks of stone, huge, articulated granite or basalt blocks, in many cases. Sometimes they weigh 1,000 tons. These things are the size of railway cars. And you find them in Peru and Bolivia and Mexico and ancient Egypt. You have to ask yourself why and how could ancient people have dragged these railway car sized blocks of stone, stacked them up together into these giant buildings? NARRATOR: Perhaps the most f…

   Let me stay with the precision of the pyramid's alignment because it is extraordinary by any standard. The base of the Great Pyramid is aligned to the cardinal directions, north, south, east, and west with an accuracy of approximately 3.6 six ark minutes of deviation from true north. To put this in context, 1 degree contains 60 ark minutes. 3 1/2 ark minutes is 117th of a degree. The error is in practical terms almost nothing. The builders of the pyramid achieved this alignment without GPS, without a magnetic compass, which had not been invented and would not have been useful in any case, sinc…

   (majestic music) But exactly how and why the pyramid was constructed remains a mystery. (majestic music) - The Great Pyramid, it is the most wondrous place on Earth. (majestic music) And when you're standing in front of it, you're confronted with the greatest mystery of all time. (majestic music) Who built this place? How could it have been constructed? Why is it still standing? And then when you go inside it, you have the feeling like you are in the hands of an extraordinary intelligence. - We've got a structure that's 480 feet high. It covers 13 acres. There's 2 1/2 million blocks of stone. …

   The concept of Zepte, the first time the mythological era when the gods established the pattern for everything that followed is about precisely this a moment when the celestial and the terrestrial were perfectly aligned when the sky was properly reflected in the earth. If the Giza monuments are an attempt to replicate a celestial configuration to create on the earth a permanent mirror of a specific sky then the sky configuration they are mirroring is meaningful. It corresponds to a specific date and that date whether 10,500 BCE or some other date tells us something about what the builders unde…

    It's built with these same mathematics from the doorway to the ball on top of the temple. It is a structural embodiment of the proportions that all life holds. The Parthonon in Greece also has the exact same mathematical structure, but even more. I recommend watching Nova's Secrets of the Parthonon if you wish to learn more about this, because the stuff that they find is really cool. The Great Pyramid in Giza also has these proportions. They're incredibly precise, perfect in every way. You'd think that by building these structures, using the logical and mathematical proportions so carefully th…
