The
Granite Plugs
Extending the two
lower shafts downward, we notice they intersect immediately below the Queen’s
Chamber. From this point a second circle is drawn tangential to the sides of
the structure (Ill. 3).
Illustration 3. A second circle is centered at a point where the lower shaft extensions intersect and drawn tangential to the pyramid sides.
Similar to the
previous illustration we find more geometrical features within the limits of
this circle.
The two ends of the
upper shafts rest on the circumference of the inscribed circle. It is also
noted that the circle cuts through the descending passage at the exact location
of the ascending passage entrance.
We have now been
introduced to two geometrically positioned circles and both include the upper
and lower shafts within their boundaries.
