For serious discussion of the controversies, approaches and enigmas surrounding the origins and development of the human species and of human civilization. (NB: for more ‘out there’ posts we point you in the direction of the ‘Paranormal & Supernatural’ Message Board).
The dimensions you have quoted there for the pyramid reminded me of similar figures that have come up elsewhere. You may already be aware of these but at the risk of repeating old ground I will lay them out again here.
If the cubit used is one of 1.728 imperial feet(20.376ins) then the circumference could be 600 of them, 150 a side, for a total of 1036.8 feet.
The same cubit used for the height would give 172.8 feet for 100 cubits, or 171.072 feet for 99 cubits.
Along with the 1.728 feet cubit could go the 1.8 feet cubit(21.6ins), which divides into 1036.8 feet 576 times, 144 per side.
The height of 172.8 feet has 96 x 1.8 cubits, and the height of 171.072feet has 95.04 x 1.8 cubits.(A difference of 0.96 x 1.8 feet cubit.)
In inches, it gets quite intriguing...
1036.8 x 12 = 12441.6ins
1036.8/4 = 259.2x12= 3110.4ins
172.8 x 12 = 2073.6ins
171.072 x 12 = 2052.864ins
1.8 feet = 21.6ins
1.728feet = 20.736ins
difference = 0.864ins(0.72feet)
0.864ins divides into 21.6ins 25 times,and 20.736ins 24 times. It also divides into 1036.8 feet 1440 times, and 259.2 feet 360 times.
172.8/0.72 = 240 and 171.072/.72 = 237.6.
The difference between the cubits turns out to be a unit of measurement in its own right. Something that has also shown up elsewhere.
You can go on and on like this, turning up canonical relationships with the same numbers showing up over and over again.
