Sacred Geometry of the Great Pyramid

The Great Pyramid at Giza has been standing for over 4,000 years. It has survived the test of time and countless earthquakes. This is due to the precise building techniques of the Egyptian people. But one must wonder if they even had the technology to perform this feat. At the time the pyramid was built (2584-2561 BC according to mainstream Egyptologists) the available tools in Egypt consisted of copper chisels, stone mallets and hemp rope. Egyptologists conclude that the Great Pyramid was built as a burial tomb for Pharaoh Khufu, which is strange considering all inner chambers were sealed and  when we finally got inside no artifacts or bodies were found. It is also said that it was built in about 20 years. The Great Pyramid consists of over 2 million stones. Using the aforementioned tools, the Egyptians would have had to quarry, carve, lift and fit one stone every two and half minutes while working 24 hrs a day, 365 days a year. That's quite an accomplishment.
     The time frame in which it was completed is not the only impressive aspect of this structure. In regards to surface area, height, length, width etc and their relation to each other, some very interesting conclusions can be made. (see Table 1)
     For example, the surface area of the sides divided by the surface of the base equals the Golden Number (φ = 1.618). The Golden Number is a universal constant found in nature, from sea shells and plants to the anatomical structure of the human body.
     The Egyptians unit of measurement at the time was the cubit (0.5235 m). The few cubit measuring stick archeologists have found have had a range of length between 52 and 53 cm. Considering how precise the Great Pyramid is, one centimeter can make all the difference.

Table 1

     If you had a circle the same length as the base of the Great Pyramid, that circle's radius is the exact height of the pyramid, which is why  π and φ show up so frequently.
Figure 1
     What's odd about these calculations is they only come out this way when using meters. The idea of the meter was first proposed in 1668 and adopted in 1793. According to scientists, the ancient Egyptians didn’t know anything about the meter (the same is said of  π and  φ). These values did not show up in any known Egyptian calculations. The scientific community continued to perfect the length of the meter using the speed of light to make it more accurate.   Apparently the Egyptians didn't know about the speed of light either. However, the length of a circle fitting inside the base of the pyramid subtracted from the length of a circle perfectly surrounding the outer edges of the base is 299,79613 (see Figure 1). The speed of light in millions of meters per second is 299,79245 (see Table 1)
     Why does the scientific community continue to say the Egyptians had no knowledge of these values? Based on the figures and measurements mentioned, either a) ancient Egyptians did know about the speed of light, π  and  φ or b) the Egyptians didn't built the Great Pyramid. Again, there is evidence to suggest the latter.
Figure 2
     Inside the Queen's Chamber there is an 8'' air shaft. The shaft ends with what is known as Gantenbrink's Door (see Figure 2). Directly above is a series of markings. These markings are actually a star map depicting the norther sky and the positions of the stars at the time of the Great Pyramids construction. As shown in the star map, Theta Draconis was the pole star during this time. Because a star orbits Earth 1° every 72 years, we can look at the position of Theta Draconis and see how much it has shifted since that star map was made. Based on the position of that star today, we can conclude the Great Pyramid was not built between 2584-2561 BC, but closer to 9200 BC.
     So take a look at option A and B again. Either way, they’re lying to us.
