SUMMATION
How many layers of meaning shroud the Great Pyramid of Egypt? How many masks does it wear of the things that it represents in its construction? The bulk of this analysis showed two definite layers, with one picturing the locations of stars which, being in the time-period of Pharaoh Khufu, were the past and the future, giving praise to what might honestly be defined as the cycle of Sirius represented by the floor-level and width of the Queen Chamber, and also the half-height of the pyramid, while Canopus alluded to the height of the chamber when Sirius reached its maximum. The other layer identifies a solar appreciation translated into the whole-height of the pyramid referencing the summer solstice; the edge of the core form referencing the equinoxes; and the winter solstice appearing within the intersection of the entrance and ascending passages. A third layer of meaning was touched upon in the pure mathematics associated in the architecture, and there are several areas of importance that will arise in a separate analysis as this one concerned the astronomical associations.
To state once again what those astronomical associations are, we have only to list them:
Given the lengths of time being offered, it is possible that the ancient Egyptian concept of Zep Tepi has been identified, if not specifically during this period between 12,275 BCE and 11,862 BCE, then most certainly one whole cycle of time preceding this, stretching back to approximately 38,000 BCE – 37,000 BCE, depending on whether the Precession of the Equinoxes or Axis is taken into account. Either way, the time periods do certainly mean that a very important question is left in the air:
Whom understood such things that they were able to be recorded in such a formidable structure as the Great Pyramid of Giza, and how did those records come through to the time of the ancient Egyptians?
This analysis is now at an end, having identified a planning period and base-plan for the pyramid. It is for another analysis that the specifics of associated geometrical comparisons shall occur, for there are several layers of meaning to the pyramid which astronomical, calendrical and geometrical are just parts of the mathematical make-up. And then there is the inclusion of copper within the shafts, and the shafts themselves being enclosed within the pyramid, and our current scientific understanding that may shed some light on what they were for, and what they actually did

How many layers of meaning shroud the Great Pyramid of Egypt? How many masks does it wear of the things that it represents in its construction? The bulk of this analysis showed two definite layers, with one picturing the locations of stars which, being in the time-period of Pharaoh Khufu, were the past and the future, giving praise to what might honestly be defined as the cycle of Sirius represented by the floor-level and width of the Queen Chamber, and also the half-height of the pyramid, while Canopus alluded to the height of the chamber when Sirius reached its maximum. The other layer identifies a solar appreciation translated into the whole-height of the pyramid referencing the summer solstice; the edge of the core form referencing the equinoxes; and the winter solstice appearing within the intersection of the entrance and ascending passages. A third layer of meaning was touched upon in the pure mathematics associated in the architecture, and there are several areas of importance that will arise in a separate analysis as this one concerned the astronomical associations.
To state once again what those astronomical associations are, we have only to list them:
- the measurement between the axis of the King and Queen Chambers equates to ten degrees of the astronomical scale upon the pyramid, or 433.333” : 10º ;
- the spring equinox of 12,275 BCE begins the planning period when Sirius is found to rest in a specific location above the horizon which aligns to the edge of the southern wall of the Queen Chamber, and Canopus rests against the northern wall of the Subterranean Chamber, while the Sun rises upon the dual horizon formed by the visual and geometric location of it, referenced in the 20th and 21st courses of the pyramid;
- Sirius reaches its minimum height in 11,875 BCE, defined by the floor-level of the Queen Chamber;
- Sirius reaches its maximum height in 627 CE, defined by the half-height of the pyramid, while Canopus is seen to pass through the upper course beneath the ridge of the roof in the Queen Chamber;
- the summer solstice sunrise upon the horizon defines the complete height of the pyramid;
-
- the solstice sunrise locations and their measurements from the meridians directly relate to the circumpolar points and the measurement between them, which only equates at the latitude position of the pyramid. This identifies the reason for the pyramid being where it is in its latitude but not its longitude;
- a perfect alignment is formed by Canopus, Sirius, the Sun and Vega in 11,939 BCE, with the first three objects approximately 26 1/2 minutes east of due south, while Vega is the same east of due north;
- in a further astronomical alignment for 11,939 BCE, these four objects also observe a straight line connecting them at an angle of 17.657º, being the angle of the hypotenuse of a triangle relating to pi, with one side of 7 units and the other side of approximately 21.991149 units;
- more than likely, the height of the pyramid relates to the reciprocal of the square root of 3 x 10,000;
- the height of the pyramid in relation to a base-side of the pyramid is in a ratio of 2/pi;
- a centre-point within the pyramid observes a circle touching the casing and the pavement level with radius 2,207.0028175”, equating to 22 / 7.0028175 = pi;
- the angle of the pyramid in conjunction with the angle of the roof blocks of the entrance glyph intersect upon a boundary confirming 43.333” as 1 degree of astronomical scale upon the pyramid, indicating a square of side-lengths 15,600”, and a circle of radius 7,800”;
- the square defines the extent of a Mercator astronomical map, being 360º side to side, and 90º above and below the horizon;
- the length of time between the observation dates, being 12,275 BCE to 627 CE, is 12,901 years, and in relation to pi, equates to the length of the entrance passage down to the intersection of the middle of the passage to the Subterranean Chamber;
- twice this period – being 25,802 years – is a very good approximation for a cycle of the Precession of the Equinoxes, while the length of time between the extreme positions of Sirius – being 12,501 years, or 25,002 years for a full cycle – is the Axial Precession cycle;
- the height of the niche defines 1/12 of the Precession cycle due to the position of Sirius at the top of the niche, and the year it attains that;
- a scale of 43,333.333 : 1 does allude to the size of Earth in relation to the size of the pyramid .
Given the lengths of time being offered, it is possible that the ancient Egyptian concept of Zep Tepi has been identified, if not specifically during this period between 12,275 BCE and 11,862 BCE, then most certainly one whole cycle of time preceding this, stretching back to approximately 38,000 BCE – 37,000 BCE, depending on whether the Precession of the Equinoxes or Axis is taken into account.
