New Theories / Re: were the giza pyramids laid out to a plan?
« on: 28/05/2021 08:10:31 »I have no doubt that the pyramids were designed and placed according to a plan and that that plan was, like many castles, based on a geometric design. However, the degree of curiosity depends on the individual and their interest in Egyptology. Many fittings to geometric data can end up a bit of a ‘so what’, unless you are interested in what it tells you about the people or culture etc.
For example, I have an interest in the construction of old musical instruments. In Italy before Napoleon and the metric system they appear to have used a set of measurement units which are very similar to inches, feet, etc. There is a lot of research which shows that the actual units varied a great deal according to region, so it can be useful to identify where an instrument was made or even modified. However, I would never present any of it here because it has no bearing on any physics eg acoustics, so I really wouldn’t expect much interest.

Fair enough. I was foolish to approach this forum. Besides this discussion is going nowhere. So I'll take your advice and seek answers elsewhere. Sorry for the inconvenience. Robin
