Thoth’s Great Pyramid Fibonacci Design

The Architectural Design of the Great Pyramid is based on the Fibonacci Numbers, Horus Numbers, and the Two/One Triangle. by Jean-Paul Bauval & Manu Seyfzadeh We have published a paper with explanatory notes accompanying this video. It can be accessed freely at: Our Academia Pages: Jean-Paul Bauval: Manu Seyfzadeh: Personal Websites: About this Video: This video illustrates the numerical and geometric design of the Great Pyramid of Egypt according to our model of how the architect may have conceived it. The design was the theory. The Great Pyramid is what was made from it. What we see on the ground at Giza today may once have originated from this theoretical framework we have archaeo-architecturally reconstructed here. Background: The Fibonacci Sequence: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, etc. The principle is that each number is the sum of the previous two. The Horus Cardinal Numbers are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64. These come from the ordinal unit fractions, the so-called Horus Eye fractions 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64. The usefulness of the these fractions comes from the fact that they quantify fractions of a whole derived by serial halvings, which is an accurate way to divide something without the aid of a measure. In terms of the Great Pyramid, the two systems,Fibonacci and Horus, are closely related because the perimeter of the Great Pyramid is 4x440 cubits = 1760 cubits. 1760 cubits is 32 x 55 cubits.  The Two/One Triangle is a right-sided triangle whose long leg is twice the length of its short length. The angle of the long leg with the hypotenuse is ° The model we are proposing is the first of its kind which explains the Great Pyramid’s design in steps. This does not prove that the Great Pyramid was built in steps but it is consistent with that idea. There are a few major, comprehensive theories, orthodox or esoteric, which have attempted to capture the architectural code of the exterior and interior of the Great Pyramid. We believe that the power of our theory lies in its explanation for a few heretofore unexplained features and in that it makes a few powerful, testable predictions. We do not speak the final word on the Great Pyramid. On the contrary, we hope to give an added aid to other researchers which may help them either at home or on the ground at Giza to more focusedly and safely probe this ancient monument. If others can use our model to make new discoveries, and we trust they will, then we have done our job. ---------------------------------- “If time and power were still left after the completion of the first nucleus and before the pinnacle was set on, the truncated pyramid was invested with a new outer layer in the form of steps, and so it was continued until a point was reached where each new addition constituted of itself a gigantic labor. Whenever the time came to bring the monument to completion it was always necessary first to set on the pinnacle; the steps lying nearest to it were then filled out, and finally those at the bottom.“ Richard Lepsius: A Biography, page 151 by Georg Ebers _____________________ Nabil Swelim researched the Small Step Pyramid of Sinki where construction ramps were found. In Swelim’s reconstruction, the ramps were only used for the pyramid nucleus. Once the core was built, they would have been replaced by other ramps for the accretion steps.
