Many conspiracies surround the Great Pyramid of Giza. Of these theories, almost all arise from curiosities involving the construction process, as well as the planning and design process of the Great Pyramid. While admitting that it is quite curious that the pyramid is oriented almost perfectly according to the cardinal directions; as well as the fact that the golden ratio and the number π seem to be predominant in the design; It is also curious how some people instantly connect these possibilities with the idea that only aliens could have built such a structure. The Egyptians created an advanced system of hieroglyphs and built many other impressive structures. Is it so hard to believe that they were also the designers and builders of a structure that incorporated the use of science and advanced mathematics? Although the Egyptians may never have defined the number π, advanced mathematics and science were clearly used in the design, planning and construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The use of mathematics, science and logic can be seen in the Great Pyramid. Cheops Pyramid at Giza in various locations. This is most evident in the construction and movement of components; the overall design of the Great Pyramid itself regarding its height, base and sides; and in the orientation and arrangement of the pyramids of Giza. These three key elements are the basis of many questions formed around the pyramid and what, in fact, makes this structure so interesting. The most commonly debated and discussed topic is how the large stones and stone components of the pyramid were moved and stacked to create such a structure [Figure #1]. There are many hypotheses as to how this was achieved. The most common hypothesis is......middle of article......ml>.Haack, Steven C. "The Astronomical Orientation of the Egyptian Pyramids."
