    (Last modified: Thursday, February 8, 2007, 10:21 AM )



    • Did the Egyptians know about the Golden Ratio and Pi?
    • Did the Golden Ratio or Pi have some sort of ritualistic significance to the Egyptians?
    • Did they intentionally incorporate the G.R. and Pi into the Great Pyramid? Could it instead have been an artifact of their building technique?
    • If it's an unintentional artifact of their building technique, is there a sensible explanation that would account for why both the Golden Ratio and Pi show up as ratios in the Great Pyramid?
