Hi Steve,
I have no doubt you're intelligent enough to do the math and no question of your accuracy. Unfortunately your being able to preform theses mathematical calculations and produce drawings prove nothing regarding the Ancient Egyptians.
So perhaps you would be good enough to provide a simple demonstration, for us lazy humans of lesser intelligence, and translate those mathematical formulas you employ into Ancient Egyptians mathematical terms using their system of Shematy, Kedet and Debens, cubits, unit fractions and seked? Weights were measured in terms of deben and is equivalent to 13+3/5 grams in the Old Kingdom. I am not sure you will agree this is a necessary step of proof to establish whether the Ancient Egyptians were even capable of employing the methods you credit to them. Just know without your doing so your claims will just be relegated to the bin with thousands of other unproven speculations.
