Book overview
Modern-day units of measure, including the foot and the meter, are shown to be inherently encoded in the Great Pyramid, Khufu, of Giza. Khufu is also shown to encode the dimensions of the Earth and the moon with its relative dimensions, while also exhibiting the Pythagorean triple as a model of a three, four, five right triangle. This also emerges from the Earth-moon-Khufu geometry
Mathematical analysis, in terms of the golden ratio, is provided to show how a compass can be initially set with a radius defined as r = 1 can be used with no other tool except a straight edge to draw a progression of arcs, circles, and lines that can then be cut and folded into a scale model of Khufu. This type of modeling is provided with perspective to scaling to miles, as in the equatorial diameter of Earth
A table generated from what is termed distillation of the Fibonacci series is provided to show how the foot seemingly must have been explicitly encoded in the actual dimensions of Khufu. The distillation also reveals shockingly simple and accurate relations to the cubit, which happens to be the arc length resulting from a π/6 angle x the 39.37 inch (one meter) pendulum = one cubit (measuring between 20.61 and 20.62 inches)
A 43,200 scaling - up of Khufu to Earth (at the North Pole with a one meter pendulum, displaced 15 degrees each side of equilibrium) reveals the significance of the meter, the North Pole, π/6, the cubit, and our time unit, the second
