Geometrical proportions of the Egyptian Pyramids.

The heptagonal geometrical network of lines is a universal figure which during development of the human civilization
was used for measurement of proportional ratio and for creation of objects of world around in which people aspired to
fix principles of harmony.
Or it is possible to tell, that people aspired to cipher knowledge of world around in the created objects of human
culture for what used proportional parities of a heptagon which expressed absolute knowledge.
Among many other objects of the world, the most significant monument of human knowledge are the Egyptian
Pyramids (Great Pyramid of Giza), and in particular the Great Pyramid of Cheops (Pyramid of Khufu).
I can not result the detailed analysis of all Egyptian Pyramids and consequently I bring the description only for
pyramid of Cheops as this pyramid the most significant. But nevertheless the analysis of geometrical proportions of
other Egyptian Pyramids can be made in comparison with pyramid of Cheops.
It agrees to different sources in the basic sizes of Cheops' pyramid are: length of the side basis 500 "elbow" (cubits),
height 318 cubits, angle of incline of lateral sides 51 degrees 50 minutes (the Egyptian cubit is approximately equal
466 millimeters).
In different sources of the information there are different data on size of the Egyptian cubit, but I think that the size of
the Egyptian cubit is equal to 466 millimeters that is taken from sources of the information which the authentic from
my point of view, as it is anthropometrical size of a human "elbow" (forearm + palm + fingers).
According to the listed sizes the main proportions of the Cheops' pyramid consist in ratio of the triangle which is
formed by height (OP), half of length of the basis (PR) and an apothem (OR) which is length of the lateral side, that is
shown on the chart:
In ratio of lines OR/PR the size of the golden section is ciphered (this is the
famous Golden Ratio solution, or Golden Section, also known as the Divine
Ratio), and in ratio of lines PR/PO the number "Pi" is ciphered (the famous Pi ).
Angle PRO with top in point R is the angle of incline of lateral sides, and angle
PSO with top in point S is the angle of incline of diagonal edges.
The angle of incline of lateral sides and the angle of incline of diagonal edges of
a pyramid have different magnitudes.
Angle PRO and angle PSO are key parameters of the Cheops' pyramid which
allow to compare proportions of a pyramid to proportions of a heptagon.
Many researchers of the Pyramid of Cheops assume, that to builders (architects) of the Egyptian Pyramids knew the
number of golden section and number "Pi" but actually in this knowledge there is no necessity, though it is obvious
that builders of pyramids knew about "golden numbers" which are ciphered in pyramids.
For construction of pyramids it is enough to know proportions of a heptagon and to use ratio of lines which exist in
the geometrical figure of a heptagon, that is shown in the following chart:
In the chart triangle AEK is an approximate silhouette of lateral
sides of the Cheops' pyramid.
The shown silhouette of lateral sides is approximate as the angle
of heptagon AEK with top in the point K is equal 360 / 7 =
51,429 degrees (51 degrees 25,71 minutes), and the angle of
incline of lateral sides of the Cheops' pyramid is equal 51 degree
50 minutes.
Builders compensated an existing difference by means of that: to
height of triangle AEK have added magnitude of human growth
AX. Namely builders of the Cheops' pyramid have placed a
figure of the man in top of the triangle and as a result have
received the angle EKX with top in the point K which equal 51
degrees 50 minutes, that differed from the exact angle of a
heptagon which is equal 51 degrees 25,71 minutes.
Namely if the height of triangle XEK is equal 318 cubits then
height of triangle AEK approximately 314 cubits provided that
the height of human growth is little bit more than 4 cubits (the
detailed information on size of the Egyptian cubits look at the
end of this page).

Builders of the Cheops' pyramid have increased the correct angle of a heptagon, as if at top of the pyramid there is a
man, and as a result in ratio of lines EK/KX have ciphered number of the golden section and in proportions of the
pyramid have ciphered proportions of a human body, that was the project of the pyramid.
In essence builders of the Cheops' pyramid have entered the heptagonal network of lines in a living circle in which the
size of vertical diameter differed from size of horizontal diameter in relative size of human growth that is shown in the
following chart:
In the chart the diheptagonal network of lines is entered within
the framework of a living circle which has a ratio of vertical and
horizontal diameters approximately 15 : 14 that corresponds to
parities of proportions of a male and female body.
Probably, the concrete ratio of diameters of a living circle in the
geometrical drawing of the Cheops' pyramid has other sizes
about which I can not tell anything certain as more exact
calculations are necessary for this purpose.
It is possible to assume, that the ratio of diameters of a living
circle in the geometrical drawing of the Cheops' pyramid turns
out as a result of transformation of the living circle when size of
the line TA is precisely equal to size of lines CE, DF, LJ, MK.
The dark blue contour in the chart specifies an approximate
silhouette of lateral sides of the pyramid, and the white contour
specifies an approximate silhouette of diagonal edges.
Angle DLA with top in point L is the angle of incline of diagonal
edges of the Cheops' pyramid which valid magnitude is equal 40
degrees 59 minutes.
The magnitude of angle DLA, the same as magnitude of angle
EKA with top in the point K (the angle of incline of lateral
sides), differs from angular magnitudes of the correct diheptagon
in relative size of human growth according to which the living
circle is transformed.
The shown geometrical drawings are approximate as for exact geometrical calculations many numbers and formulas
are necessary, that is inexpedient in a context of gallery of phantom images, but according to the shown drawings it is
possible to do exact geometrical calculations if it is necessary.
The given geometrical concepts allow to understand the basic proportions of the Egyptian Pyramids, but besides in
geometrical measures of pyramids many other proportional geometrical laws are ciphered, according to which the
world around is arranged.
It is possible to speak that magnitudes of the Egyptian Pyramids have fixed sizes of measurements which allow to
understand structure of world around, and allow to apply "Great Egyptian Measures" to designing environmental
space and for an arrangement of the objects of the human world created by people.
The basic size of measurement in ancient Egypt is the cubit which consist of seven palms, and each palm was
subdivided into four fingers. Total the cubit consist of 28 fingers that corresponds to 28 days of lunar month.
Pay attention, that the diheptagonal network of lines has 14 tops, and the quadraheptagonal network of lines has 28
tops, that also is equal to number of days of lunar month.
In a modern science about ancient Egypt there are different parameters of the Egyptian cubit:
1 ordinary Egyptian cubit = 6 palms = 24 fingers = 450 millimeters;
1 royal Egyptian cubit = 7 palms = 28 fingers = 525 millimeters.
I have resulted the size of the Egyptian cubit which is equal 466 millimeters that has mathematical sense as it is
anthropometrical size of a human elbow.
Also other sizes according to which parameters of the Cheops' pyramid are calculated by cubits, correspond to size of
the cubit which is equal 466 millimeters.

The photo at the left shows "Arcane" where the land surveyor with the measuring
rod (measuring wand) in a hand is represented, namely the photo shows one of
11 wooden carved panels which were found in the tomb of Hesi-Ra who is
considered the architect of Pyramids.
The found panels have images on both sides, that in the sum makes 22 arcane.
There is hypothesis that the found 22 arcane became the reason of an esoteric
legend that predictive cards of Tarot have the Egyptian origin.
The measuring rod in a hand of the land surveyor is equal to length from middle
of a body up to a line of eyebrows that makes two cubits.
If to project the given measuring rod on the diheptagonal network of lines then
the rod is equal to line AT, and also it is approximately equal to length of the side
of a heptagon that is shown in the previous chart.
Namely the measuring rod is equal to lines CE, DF, LJ, MK.
Hence, the Egyptian cubit is equal to length of the side of a diheptagon (to
distance between two near tops), and any other sizes of measurements are
derivatives from the diheptagonal geometrical network in which the figure of a
human body is entered, that allows to do the statement about a ratio of the
Egyptian cubit with proportions of the heptagonal network and about a ratio of
the Egyptian Pyramids with proportions of a human body. But provided that the
diheptagonal network is entered in a living circle which forms "an ellipse with a
focal length proportional to human growth taken in the attitude to height of the
pyramid". Otherwise it is possible to tell that the difference of diameters
(difference of the big and small axes of an ellipse) corresponds to the attitude of
human growth to height of the Pyramid.
If exact geometrical calculations are not required, then it is possible to count
that approximately the cubit is equal to the side of a correct diheptagon which is
entered within the framework of a correct circle.
By means of the measuring rod builders have calculated the sides of pyramids, and in the project of the Khafre's
Pyramid (The Pyramid of Chephren) have fixed the Sacred Egyptian Triangle with the attitude of the sides 3 : 4 : 5
which differently name an integral Pythagorean triangle, and in the project of the Cheops' pyramid have fixed "the
golden triangle" with the attitude of the sides which answers to the golden section, but provided that The Golden
Triangle of the Pyramid of Cheops is calculated by means of the measuring rod according to lines of the diheptagonal
geometrical network.
The project of the Pyramid of Chephren and the project of the Pyramid of Cheops fix different methods of
calculations and consequently pyramids have different esoteric value.
The additional information on the Golden Section (Golden Ratio or Divine Ratio) and on the Egyptian Triangles look
in other sources of the information.
The following page in detail tells about measuring tools which can be derivatives from lines of the heptagonal
geometrical network.
