The above link was a
discovery I came across whilst in study of the shadows that the great Pyramid
casts through out the seasons. A calendar emerged from this which I matched up
to the Calendar in the book of Jubilees and the books of Enoch and the 360 day
year calendar of the scriptures. The 360/364 day year seems to be the standard
in the ancient pre flood world from
The base measurements of the
Great Pyramid are: north - 755.43 ft; south -756.08 ft; east - 755.88 ft; west
- 755.77 ft. These dimensions show no two sides are identical; however, the
distance between the longest and shortest side is only 7.8 inches.Each
side is oriented almost exactly with the four Cardinal points. The following
being the estimated errors: north side 2'28" south of west; south side
1'57" south of west; east side 5'30" west of north; and west side
2'30" west of north. The four corners were almost perfect right angles:
north-east 90degrees 3' 2"; north-west 89 degrees 59'58"; south-east
89 deg 56'27"; and south-west 90 deg 0'33".When completed, it rose to
a height of 481.4 ft., the top 31 feet of which are now missing. It's four sides incline at an angle of about 51deg. 51 min. with
the ground. At its base, it covers an area of about 13.1 acres. It was built in
201 stepped tiers, which are visible because the casing stones have been
removed. It rises to the height of a modern 40-story building.
THE BEDROCK AND CORE
The pyramid is built partly
upon a solid, large, bedrock core and a platform of limestone blocks which can
be seen at the northern and eastern sides. The builder of this pyramid was very
wise to choose this site because most of the stones, with the exception of the
casing stones, some granite and basalt stones, could be cut right on the spot
and in the nearby quarry. This practical choice made it possible to reduce
considerably the time and back-breaking labor needed
to drag the stones from distant quarries across the
determined. One this is certain, that
whatever method they used was direct and very simple. Once the sand, gravel and
loose rocks had been removed, down to the solid bedrock of the plateau, the
whole pyramid site was open-cast quarried into blocks, leaving a square core
for the center of the pyramid (the core is approximately
412.7 ft square, and rises approx. 46.25 feet high). These blocks were then
stored outside a low wall; made of mortared stone that surrounds the core (the
outside dimensions of the wall are approx. 887.3 feet square). Today there
still remains the foundation of this wall on the north, south and west sides of
the pyramid, at an average distance of 65 feet from the outer edge of the base
casing stone. This core gives the pyramid stability from the downward and
horizontal forces that will develop from the superimposed loads of blocks of
stones that are piled up, as the pyramid rises. Also, from the prevailing north-west
winds that exert enormous pressures on the huge areas of the pyramid's faces,
thus increasing these forces further. Levelling of the entire pyramid site was
accomplished by flooding the area inside the wall with water, leaving just the
high spots. These them were cut down to the level of
the surface of the water. Next, some of the water was released and the high
spots again were cut down to the water's surface. This process was repeated
until the entire pyramid site, between the core and the four walls, was leveled down to the base of the pyramid's platform.
THE CASING STONES
A few of the fine limestone
casing blocks remain at the base of the northern side and show how accurately
the stones were dressed and fitted together. The core masonry, behind the
casing stones, consists of large blocks of local limestone, quarried right on
the spot, built around and over the bedrock core. The size of this core cannot
be determined, since it is completely covered by the pyramid. The casing stones
were of highly polished white limestone, which must have been a dazzling sight.
Unlike marble, which tends to become eroded with time and weather, limestone
becomes harder and more polished.
HOW MANY BLOCKS DID IT
ACTUALLY TAKE TO BUILD
THE
GREAT PYRAMID?
Most books and encyclopedia state that there are 2.3 million blocks of
stone in the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops), with no mention of method used to figure this. Socrates
determined the size and weight of the blocks (a standard block), and ran a
Pascal Computer Program (a mathematical model of all the blocks of stone
needed; written by the author to optimize the sizes and weights of the stones)
to come up with the real number of blocks used. Since the volume of passageways
and internal chambers are very small compared to the high volume of the
pyramid, they are ignored at this time, just as though the pyramid was built of
solid stone blocks with mortared joints.
THE SIZE OF THE BLOCKS
The size of
the blocks are based on a chance discovery in 1837 by Howard Vyse. He found two of the original side casing blocks at
the base of the pyramid, 5 ft x 8 ft x 12 ft, with an angle of 51 degrees, 51
minutes cut on one of the 12 ft. sides. Each of these stones weighed (5 x 8 x
12)/2000 = 39.9 tons before the face angle was cut. These originally were used
for the side casing stones of Step No. 1, in the Pascal computer program. The
sizes of all the other blocks were scaled from these two original blocks of the
remaining Steps 2 to 201.
THE GREAT PYRAMID'S
DIMENSIONS AND THEIR LAYOUT
One acre = 43,560 sq. ft, or
208.71 feet on a side.For the pyramid's base, length
= width = (square root of 13.097144 acres) x 208.71 feet = 755.321 feet. Or
755.321 x 12 = 9063.85 inches.Height = (755.321 x
tangent 51deg 51 min)/2 = 480.783 feet. Or 480.783 x 12 = 5769.403 inches. For
the cap stone base: length = width = (32.18 x 2)/tangent 51deg 51 min = 50.55
inches. The average size of a pyramid stone = (5 x 8 x 12) The
average side measurement, at the base = 759.3 ft. The height used was 201 steps
high, or 480 feet. (This is minus the height of the Capstone, which was one
piece in itself. The number reached by the Pascal computer program was 603,728
blocks used. The solid core takes up the space of 13,016 stones. So, the actual
number of stones used to build the Great Pyramid is 603,728 - 13,016 = 590,712.
This figure is (2,300,000 - 590,712) = 1,709,288 blocks less than the often published
2.3 million value.
NUMBER OF VARIOUS BLOCKS
OF STONE USED
TO BUILD THE GREAT PYRAMID
Number of platform blocks
used (2.5 ft x 10 ft square), equals (759.3 x 759.3(pyramid base)) - (412.7 x
412.7(core base))/(10 x 10(platform block base)) = 4,062.Number of CORNER
Casing stones where the pyramid faces meet equals 201 steps x 4 sides = 804.
Number of side casing stones
equals ((244 x 127) + 8,953) = 39,941. Due to Bedrock Core, in the center of Step 1 through 10, the total number of blocks
needed is reduced by 13,016. THE NUMBER OF ALL BLOCKS BEHIND THE CASING STONES
EQUALS (590,712 - 804 - 39,941) = 549,967.
PLACING THE BLOCKS
The average number of blocks
that have to be placed each day equals (590,712 blocks)/(20years
x 364.25 days) = 81 blocks per day.
If 10 crews of 300 men work
on each of the four sides of the pyramid, then the totals of 40 crews and
12,000 men will be needed. Each of the crews will be responsible to place 81/40
= 2 blocks per day. The workload passes through three phases of decreasing
difficulty, which are determined by the weights of the heaviest blocks: Steps 1
through 21 (60.59 to 27.24 tons) Steps 22 through 136 (17.66 to 6.44 tons) Steps
127 through 201 (3.05 to 2.63 tons) As the weight of the blocks decrease, Step
to Step, the sizes of the drag crews will decrease. However, when this happens,
the number of blocks needed to be dragged each day can be reduced because one
large block can be dragged and cut into several smaller blocks that are needed.
As the pyramid rises there is less space for the crews to work in and fewer block to be placed. In other words, the number of workers
that will be needed depends on three factors of: weight of blocks, number of
blocks to be placed, and the working space available.
