Synopsis

Unlock the math and mystery behind the Great Pyramid. This edition reveals how the pyramid may function as a circular standard of measure that connects earth shape with time, using precise numbers and harmonic rhythm to explore its purpose and design.

- Learn how authors interpret the pyramid as a working model of geometric and astronomical relationships.
- See how differences in diameter, time, and length are treated as part of a single, ongoing design idea.
- Explore the idea of chambers, cubes, ellipses, and coffer measurements as a unified system rather than separate features.
- Understand why the work emphasizes balance, proportion, and mathematical fitness as keys to the structure’s meaning.

Ideal for readers curious about the intersection of geometry, time, and ancient architecture, and for those who enjoy speculative yet carefully argued approaches to historic monuments.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Great Pyramid of Jizeh: The Plan and Object of Its Construction

Any assertion as to a discovered solution of the plan and object of this huge mass, so venerable, so covered with the mists of primeval time, must be made with very much of reserve. If it has, in its stony strength, been through the long centuries replete with instruction, easily to be read and understood by one understanding the significancy of its symbolization, he who at last solves the riddle of its language must, in self-defense, attribute the cause of solution to anything but himself, or any faculty which he may possess. It is, perhaps, the better part to consider the ability as a temporaty gift for a special purpose. The doing so has at least a merit in the possession of one well-recognized truth, viz., That many more important discoveries are made by persons of very little pretension to learning.

All that the author has in the way of information about this pyramid is contained (I) in an article in the American Quarterly Church Review for April, 1869, and (2) in the work of Professor C. Piazzi Smyth, called Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid of Jizeh.

It seems it has been thought, by many, that the pyramid was built to perpetuate a standard of measure, or, rather, standards of measure. The thought was suggested by M. Jomard, of the French expedition; afterward by the Rev. Mr. Taylor, of England, and later by Professor Smyth.
