The Great Pyramid is arguably the most recognized and celebrated
structure in the world. It has been an enduring source of wonder and
intense examination and study for ages. Yet it still excites a deep sense
of mystery and awe. However, it is bereft of writing or images, except
for some construction markings. Wrong!
It has writing in it that carries some of the most significant meaning
of the ages, in languages that are both universal and timeless, the
languages of mathematics and geometry.
The Pyramid’s shape and size are written in this language and reflect
the fact that its inception is in the heavens north of it. Here the north
ecliptic and north celestial poles create triangles that determine the
Pyramid’s shape and its dimensions exactly. But this is only a beginning,
as these same measures were used to determine the dimensions of the
Earth. Astonishing, but true.
There are also a substantial number of geometric images or figures that
were encoded into the walls of the King’s Chamber, using rudimentary
astronomical techniques. These figures comprise triangles, rectangles,
stars, and circles, many of which have meanings in their own right,
but when viewed in combination with others tell a profound tale, the
same one told by Plato in Timaeus. It is the tale of god and creation, and
both are told in the language of geometry. And, not by coincidence, the
figures in the Pyramid also name the Egyptian god of creation, Ptah.
