Understood
by mathematicians and used in every-day life, the floating decimal allows for
describing large numbers in reduced format.
Earth
is approximately 149,600,000,000 meters from the center of the Sun or
149,600,000 kilometers or 149.6 million km.
The
first four digits remain unchanged while the balance of zeros is replaced using
various lengths of measure. Effectively, the decimal place “floats” back and
forth depending upon the user’s description attached to the measure.
It
is standard mathematical practice to reduce all numbers to unity followed by
the decimal portion.
I.e.
123.6 times 234.5 = (1.236 x 2.345) x 10^4
(10^4 = 10,000).
The
identical system is incorporated at Giza but demonstrated in reverse.
The
square root of two produces an irrational number having a value equaling
1.4142… To demonstrate the builder’s understanding square root values they
elected to build the complex using the “floating” decimal. The square root of 2
can also be entered as 1414.2 this being 1000 times its true value. From the Giza site, the measures 1409.9 and
1419.4 produce a hypotenuse length of 2000.6 (Ill. 1).
Illustration
1. A and B have an average length of 1000 times the square root of two
(1414.6).
The sum of A
and B equals the square root of two times the hypotenuse.
Although
the lengths could have coincidental values there is another means of
measure…the use of the King’s chamber.
Measuring
10 x 20 Rc it would result in the external measures of 141 KC “widths” from
north to south, 71 KC “lengths” from east to west and 100 KC “lengths” from
point to point.
The
one possible objection to the above is the selected measuring locations: from
center to center of P1 and P2 in the north-south direction and end to end in
the east-west direction; it would be preferred to compare the measure from
their external corners (Ill. 2).
Illustration2.
Length A is 1000 times the square root of three (1.732) and the hypotenuse (B)
is 1000 times the square root of five (2.236). Unlike illustration 1, the hypotenuse
of this formed triangle is 100 times the “diagonal” measure of the King’s
Chamber floor of 22.36 Rc.
The
two outer pyramids were intentionally set in place using the basic measures of
the King’s chamber as a guide. However, it was accurately designed to
illustrate the designer’s full knowledge of square root values and incorporates
a unit of measure equaling 1000Rc.
