Well, it's not clear it was obvious to Dash how they managed to level a 13 acre perimeter so precisely, especially with an imposing mound of bedrock blocking their view across much of that plane. Dash also fully acknowledges that it's not so obvious that the AE actually used any of the methods he discussed since there is virtually zero evidence of such methods during that time. He certainly didn't make it obvious how they were able to determine North from the East-West axis, let alone to a scale resulting in construction lines to delineate a northern or southern face of a pyramid.

Hi Phil,

As I have pointed out previously, cutting channels in the bedrock allows you to fill them with water. As water is self leveling, you could float a level on the water, and/or the
water which was poured contains dye. Iron oxide, (red ochre) would serve to accomplish this task. If the water contained dye, it would impart a level line across the entire foundation of the Pyramid. This method would also expose all high points too chisel down. The pulling of stones across the surface, would further grind any high spots left, down to level. If indeed, there was a mound inside the Pyramid's perimeter, they would be forced to create measured shelves, and level them as prescribed. This could be done in steps, until reaching the top.

The ecliptic plane can be defined as a two-dimensional flat surface that geometrically intersects the Earth's orbital path around the Sun. On this plane, the Earth's axis is not at right angles to this surface, but inclined at an angle of about 23.5° from the perpendicular. Understanding the two solstices, Summer and Winter, and by dividing those two in half, you arrive at the September and March solstice. On these four important dates June solstice, September solstice, December equinox, and March equinox, and the angle of the Earth's axis (23.5 degrees) in relation to the ecliptic plane.... the North Star remains unchanged, ie, North, East, South, and West.
