Extraordinary Beings
Whatever mystical, occult or science-fiction tales may be associated with the Great Pyramid, it is still an extraordinary piece of masonry, and its designers must have been extraordinary beings. Who they were and when they built their Pyramid remains a mystery. So the quest continues.
But certain facts must be confronted, and the textbooks amended to conform with them. Eratosthenes was obviously not the first to measure the circumference of the earth. Hipparchus was not the inventor of trigonometry. Pythagoras did not originate his famous theorem. Mercator did not invent his projection.
Whoever built the Great Pyramid knew the dimensions of this planet as they were not to be know again till the seventeenth century of our era. They could measure the day, the year, and the Great Year of the Precession. They knew how to compute latitude and longitude and the transit of the stars.
The designer was able to make maps with minimum distortions and had insight into the knowledge of the diameter of the earth, which was calculated at 500,000,000 inches. From this knowledge using an inch for a year the builder with his knowledge of the procession of the Equinox calculated the sacred Egyptain cubit.
In mathematics they were advanced enough to have discovered the Fibonacci series, and the function of pi and golden ratio. What more they knew remains to be seen. But as more is discovered it may open the door to a whole new civilization of the past, and a much longer history of man than has been credited
