1 TRFTRF Rediscover Egypt— The Ancient Future

2 TRFTRF The Sacred Geometry of the Giza Pyramids Moustafa Gadalla

3 TRFTRF Introduction 1. The meaning of sacred geometry and its AE applications. 2. The sacred geometry of the 3 Giza pyramids.

4 TRFTRF What is Sacred Geometry Herodotus, stated in 500 BCE: Now, let me talk more of Egypt for it has a lot of admirable things and what one sees there is superior to any other country. Plato stated, That the pictures and statues made ten thousand years ago, are in no one particular better or worse than what they now make.

6 TRFTRF The Tool a cord consisting of 12 equally spaced distances 1 cubit= 1.72 ft. = 0.5236 m

7 TRFTRF The Sacred Cord When the cord is looped as a full circle, radius is 1.91 cubits = 1 meter exactly (1.91 x 0.5236). 1 meter = 1/100,000th part of the quarter of the earth’s meridian

8 TRFTRF Design Parameters of Egyptian buildings unification of two systems : arithmetic (significant numbers). graphic (square, rectangles, and a few triangles). This union follows the elements described below: 1 - The Active Axes 2 - Significant Points (Along the Axis) 3 - The Telescopic Triangles 4 - The Rectangular Perimeters

9 TRFTRF Pyramid Temple of Khafra

10 TRFTRF II. Progression of Growth and Proportion 2 3 5 (3+2) 8 (5+3) 13 (8+5) 21 (13+8) 34 (21+13) 55 (34+21) 89, 144, 233, 377, 610,...

11 TRFTRF 3:2 = 1.5 5:3 = 1.667 8:5 = 1.60 13:8 = 1.625 21:13 = 1.615 34:21 = 1.619 55:34 = 1.618 89:55 = 1.618 144:89 = 1.618,...

12 TRFTRF General Layout of Geometric Shapes Equilateral triangle

13 TRFTRF Circular Curves

14 TRFTRF Square EBCF

15 TRFTRF The Neb (Golden) Triangle or Rectangle

16 TRFTRF

17 TRFTRF A logarithmic spiral indicated by “whirling squares”

18 TRFTRF The Root Rectangles

19 TRFTRF Map of 10 pyramids

20 TRFTRF The Collapsed Pyramid of Meidum

21 TRFTRF The Meidum Pyramid of Snefru Height (original): 306’ (93m) Mass (original?): 1.5 million tons Base (original): 482’ (147m) square Angle: 51 o 50’ 35”

22 TRFTRF The Giza Plateau

23 TRFTRF The harmonic proportion of Khufu’s pyramid Height (Original):280 cubits (481', 147m) Base:440 cubits square (757' sq, 229m sq) Mass:6.5 mil tons limestone Area of base:13 acres (5.3 hectares) Inclination:51 o 50' 35"

24 TRFTRF The harmonic proportion of Khufu’s pyramid Height = 280 = 14 = 1.272727 ½ Base 220 11 = 1.619 = Golden Ratio 2 Base = 880= 3.1429 Height 280= Circle Index 3.14159 – 3.1429 = 0.0013 Diff = 0.04%

25 TRFTRF

26 TRFTRF

27 TRFTRF “King Khufu’s” Room

28 TRFTRF Khafra Pyramid Height:471' (143.5m) Base:708' square (214.5m) [error from true north 5’-30”] Mass:5.3 million tons Inclination Angle:53 o 07' 48"

29 TRFTRF The Ausar (Union) Triangle

30 TRFTRF Menkaura’s Pyramid

31 TRFTRF Menkaura Base:356' square (108m) [error from true north = 14”] Height:218' (67m) Mass:0.6 million tons Slope: (face to base) 51 o 20' 25" (5/4) (edge to base) 51 o 29' 53" (8/9)
