JEREMIAH JEREMIAH which shocks, stresses and strains (caused by expansion and contraction of the material) were compensated for. These socket- bedded corner-stones demonstrated that over 4000 years ago, whoever the Architect of the Great Pyramid was, He certainly understood the dynamics of natural laws and also knew how to allow for their effects. These men of intellect believed that within the design of the Great Pyramid, lay a unique geometrical symbolism so profound as to transcend anything that human ingenuity might devise. Hostile to the metric system that was used by other nations outside of Britain and America, these pyramidologists concluded that the linear unit of measure, employed in the actual construction of the Great Pyramid, was the Sacred Cubit. They believed that this was the symbol shown on the raised Boss (or, seal) in the shape of a horseshoe, in the Ante-Chamber outside of the King’s Chamber. According to their findings, a scientific examination of the Sacred Cubit found it to bear an exact relationship to the size of our Earth. This cubit, according to them, was an exact 10,000,000 th part of the distance from the center of the Earth to the pole (or, semi-axis). According to their geodetic research, the polar radius of the earth (as deduced from satellite observations) is approximately 3949.89 miles. Divide this figure by 10,000,000; the result is 1 Sacred Cubit. Thus the Earth’s polar radius measures 10,000,000 Sacred Cubits (or, 250,000,000 Pyramid inches); hence the Pyramid inch is the 500,000,000 part of the Earth’s polar diameter. 1197

They were convinced that, whoever the Architect was, the scientific idea of having a unit of measure based on the size of the earth, meant that the Architect knew the exact dimensions of the earth, before the use of satellite observation. They reasoned that the entire geometric structure of the Great Pyramid was designed on the basis of S (pi), 3.14159 (the mathematical ratio upon which the whole physical universe is designed), with the value of y being 365.242 (the number of the days in Earth’s solar year). The following examples are but some of their findings: - The square base circuit of the Great Pyramid equals 36,524,235 inches. - The floor of the King’s Chamber, from its outside edge to the center vertical line, is a distance of 3,652.423 inches. - The Ante-Chamber length, multiplied by S equals 365.2423 inches. - The distance from the exact center of the Ante-Chamber, to the south wall of the King’s Chamber, is 365.24235 inches. - Twice the length of the King’s Chamber in pyramid inches (412.132 x 2), taken in conjunction with the angle of the passage, which leads up to it, also correlates to the Earth’s revolution around the sun - 365.242 days. * The Great Pyramid’s mathematical proportions Although ancient Egypt possessed a remarkable degree of knowledge of mathematics and kindred sciences; according to these pyramidologists, they were never able to duplicate what they believed to be the proportionate mathematical system of “numbers,” found in the design of the Great Pyramid. An examination shows that the Great Pyramid’s numerics are not only geometric, but they are arithmetical as well. The number 5 and multiples, powers and geometrical proportions of it, run through the Great Pyramid and its measure references. The following examples are but some of their findings: - The Sacred Cubit of the Great Pyramid is comprised of 25 (5 times 5) inches, and this inch is the 500,000,000 th part of the Earth’s axis of rotation (polar axis). - The floor of the Queen’s Chamber is 5 times 5 courses of masonry, from the base upward and it’s measurements all answer to a standard of (5 times 5) inches. - The King’s Chamber floor is 10 times 5 courses from the base; and its walls are composed of 20 times 5 stones, arranged in 5 horizontal courses. - The Great Pyramid has 5 corners (four at the base and one at the apex), and hence it has 5 sides - four equal triangular sides and the square under-side on which it stands. Interestingly enough, multiples of 5 are also the dimensions of Noah’s Ark, the Wilderness Tabernacle and Solomon’s Temple. * The Great Pyramid’s astronomical design That the Great Pyramid was constructed in accordance with astronomical observations of great accuracy, according to these well-educated men, is beyond doubt. To achieve such precision, without modern scientific instruments is, seemingly, unbelievable. The following examples are but some of their findings: - The distance from the earth to the sun is approximately 92,000,000 miles. Scientists were astounded to discover that
