Black History Month fact #12
The Great Pyramid of Giza is an architectural representation of pi (3.14).
Each side of the Great Pyramid (Pi-ramid) of Giza is about 755 ft long. Each side of the Pyramid of Giza is NOT exactly the same because the pyramid was built to withstand the changing movements of the Earth. That is why the pyramids have yet to collapse.
The perimeter gives you the base. so 755ishft plus 755ishft times 2 gives you about 3020 sq.ft. The height of the Pyramid of Giza is 481.4 feet.
Take the perimeter of base of the pyramid, divide it by 2, then divide it by the height, and you get 3.14.
This fact shows that Ancient Egyptians, or Anu, didn’t just build things arbitrarily; everything had a purpose. Their engineers built structures in harmony with nature. It’s also interesting how we are taught about mathematics. Pi is mostly associated only with circles, but here we see how it fundamentally applies to other shapes as well.
The first architect of the pyramids was Imhotep, chancellor of the Pharoah Djoser of the 3rd dynasty in the 2600s BCE. Imhotep means “the one who comes in peace.”
Khufu, second pharoah of the 4th dynasty in 2500s BCE, built the Great Pyramid of Giza. Khufu’s full name was “Khnum-Khufu” which means “the god Khnum protects me.”
