The Great Pyramid, the men of who shaped its meaning

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.

Taylor concluded, that the builder of the Great Pyramid could not have been from Egyptian ancestry in either religion or race. After is research he believed that one day there would come a time when the measurements and contours of the inner portions of the Pyramid would be linked with history and especially in the relationship with Biblical prophecy.

Later, a Scottish Astronomer named Piazzi Smyth brought the discipline of applied science to bear on the study of the Great Pyramid. Following in the footsteps of Taylor Smyth, he believed the only way to prove or disprove Taylor theories was to go to Egypt and do his own measurements.

His findings were published and found startling. They were were highly regarded, and the summation expressed an keen insight into the builder in that he had to have had an accurate knowledge of high astronomical and geographical physics

Smyth's work began to stimulate a growing belief that the ancient pillar of stone had about it something more than a mere tomb for a rich and ambitious Pharaoh. Something infinitely more than was ever in the power of the Egyptians to originate, or even to understand.

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.

Although Petrie belittled Smyth's basic contention about the Pyramid's perimeter incorporating the length of the solar year, it was Petrie's meticulously careful measurements that observed a definite hollowing of the core masonry on each side of the Pyramid. This discovery led to the astronomical features of the Great Pyramid, thereby confirming Smyth's conclusions.
