The Pointers
From illustration
1B it was shown how the four shafts were extended forming two “pointers”. It
was also demonstrated how two circles appear to be a mathematically or
geometrically connected to the four shafts. We can now determine the average
length for both pointers by applying all angular values documented by Sir W. F.
Petrie (Ill. 4).
Illustration 4. The angular measures by
Petrie for the four shafts and confirmed by using the location where the upper
shafts protrude at course #102.
From these
measures, the angular distance between both pointers is established (Ill. 5).
Illustration 5. An average angle of 76.0
degrees is measured between the two pointers (red lines) and a circle measuring
117 Royal cubits fits perfectly into the lower pyramid features.
The bisect of the
pointers (red lines) are extended to the location of intersect. A circle is
drawn from the intersect to the end of the small pointer having a radius measure
equaling 117 Royal cubits in length. It is noticed how the circumference of
this circle passes along the base of the lower subterranean chamber floor,
directly below the centerline of the pyramid foundation. The circle also passes
through the end location of the lower shaft, left of the Queen’s chamber.
In October of 2002
an electronically controlled robot was directed to this exact location in the
Queen’s Chamber shaft. The purpose of the exercise was to penetrate through a
small 8”x8” stone “door” blocking the passage; it was believed to be the
entrance to another hidden chamber. Although the operation was a remarkable
engineering feat, the only discovery was an additional stone blockage
approximately one meter ahead of the first, preventing any further
investigation…the search continues.
The second and
longer of the two pointers measures approximately 400 Royal cubits in length,
and it can be noted that the end of this pointer is equal in height compared to
the theoretical height of the pyramid structure (apex in red).
It should be noted that the linear measures are approximate having a discrepancy of several Royal cubits in length. The uncertainty of measure is controlled by the precise measure of the individual shaft angles, and there is a small discrepancy (approximately 0.2 degrees) for the angular measure of the southern shaft in the King’s Chamber compared to those made by Sir W. F. Petrie, whose measures are used for this presentation.
The third
observation is the angular distance between both pointers; it is approximately
76.0 degrees, surprisingly it is within 0.3 degrees of measure compared to the
pyramid apex of 76.29 degrees.
With all
information and measures in place, we can now apply logical reasoning in an
attempt to “decipher” the designer’s message…if a message does exist.
To encode messages
within any geometric design requires advanced knowledge in mathematics. This
important fact controls our approach on resolving the possibility of a code or
message hidden within the structure, but first we must disregard the following
theories.
1) The shafts aligned with a “particular” star
in our distant past, or allowing ancient astronomers to measure star locations.
2) The shafts were used by the deceased
king/queen allowing eternal travel in their “afterlife”.
3) The simple function of the shafts being no
more than air ducts for the workers.
Although one or all
of the above theories may be true, they must be treated as completely
irrelevant and excluded from the search. They offer no information containing knowledge…therefore
they cannot contain a message.
And now the search
begins!
