The Great Pyramid, a Professor, Mathematician, an Engineer

John Taylor, an amateur astronomer, London publisher and mathematician began a study in order to analyze the measurements of the Great Pyramid. He wanted to understand the Great Pyramid from a mathematician's point of view.

His conclusion was that the architect of the Great Pyramid was not an Egyptian, either by race or religion. He believed it would be found, eventually, that the measurements and contours of the Pyramid passage system, as its chambers, were intended to indicate a prophetic and historical record, especially in relationship to Biblical revelation.

Piazzi Smyth, a Scottish Astronomer, and student of Taylor, decided to affirm, or if possible to refute the findings of Taylor. Consequently, he lifted the investigation and study of the Great Pyramid into the realm of applied science. But the only way he could do so conclusively was to go to Egypt and do his own measurements.

Piazza's work was published and his critics found his research intoxicating. Smyth summed up his findings by noting that the Great Pyramid revealed a most surprisingly accurate knowledge of high astronomical and geographical physics.

The astounding volume of knowledge of mathematics, science, astronomy, geography, and physics contained in stone would have been impossible for the pharaohs of that day to have known. He concluded that while the world believed the Great Pyramid was considered a tomb, he believed it had different purpose.

Then the mechanical engineer Flanders Petrie set out to measure the Great Pyramid. His plan was to either negate or substantiate the work of Taylor and Smyth. His tools for measurement were superior with 1/1000 of an inch.

Petrie at first took offense at the basic contentions of Smyth, that the Great Pyramid had incorporated a 365 day solar year into perimeter. Yet, ironically it was Petrie's meticulous careful measurements, wherein he had observed a hallowing of the core masonry on each side that led to a confirming of Smyths' conclusions concerning the astronomical features built into the Great Pyramid.
