THE GREAT PYRAMID - GREENWICH (IV)

.
From the Great Pyramid to Prime Meridian of the world


The Great Pyramid - Greenwich Meridian = 31º 8' 6.486504" = 31.13513514º E

1º = 111 km

31.13513514º = 3456 km (distance beetwin the two blue lines).

a) Base of the Pyramid = 365.242 sacred cubits = 231.92867 meters

b) Coptic word for Pyramid is pyrmet = tenth part

231.92867 : 10 = 23.192867

3456 x 23.192867 = 80,154.54835

80,154.54835 : 2 = 40,077.27418 km = length of the Earth's Equator in kilometres.

c) 40,077.27418 : 3456 = 11.5964335 = 23.192867/2

d) The sides of the Great Pyramid rise at an angle of 51.85399754º (tangent = 1.273240621):
.
3456 : 1.273240621 = 2714.33358 km

Pi = 3.14159

If a certain object was to travel with a speed of 3.14159 dekameters/sec., for 24 ours (1 day) it would travel a distance of 2714.33358 km*.

--------------------------

* 1 dekametre (1 dkm) - a metric unit of length equal to ten meters.
