Great Pyramid Statistics

Construction Stones





The mortar used is of an unknown origin. It has been analyzed and it's chemical composition is known but it can't be reproduced. It is stronger than the stone and still holding up today. The cornerstone foundations of the pyramid have ball and socket construction capable of dealing with heat expansion and earthquakes. The four corner sockets are at different heights. The vertical distance between the highest and lowest is 17 inches. The reference point known as the "mean socket level", or base level, is generally used as the reference for height and perimeter measurements. The "sidereal socket level" is the mean of just the SW and SE socket heights.



Capstone Theories





The height to the missing apex is 5812.98 PI.

The height of the pyramid without the capstone is 5496 PI.




The 5 angles of the Great Pyramid are:
edge to edge of face at apex =76:17:13.2 (degrees - minutues - seconds),
face to face parallel to base = 112:25:39.4
edge to base = 41:59:50.5
face to base = 51:51:14.3.



The volume of the pyramid is:
V = 1/3 base area x height =161,559,817,000 cubic
PI = 10,339,828.3 cubic pyramid cubits

The length of the Great Pyramid's corner edges are 8688.00 PI.

The slant face height of the Great Pyramid's sides are 7391.72 PI.








The Great Pyramid had a swivel door entrance at one time.

Swivel doors were found in only two other pyramids:

Khufu's father and grandfather, Sneferu and Huni, respectively.



Gantenbrink's Door

Air Shafts

Of all the pyramids, only the Great Pyramid has "air shafts".

The King's Chamber has 2, about 5 inches in diameter which connect to the exterior.




There are no hieroglyphics or writings in the Great Pyramid other than those written later but not the pyramid builders. They are found in an upper relief chamber - some graphics on the wall of the Room of Chaos.





Taking average earth density as 1.0, the average density of the core limestone blocks is 0.412, the limestone casing blocks is 0.367, the granite of the King's Chamber is 0.479.


Secret Rooms

Sixty-five meters up the southern shaft of the Queen's Chamber is a miniature portcullis slab discovered by a robotic camera in 1993. Attached are two copper fittings, one broken. This area of the shaft is lined with Tura limestone, which is typically used in pyramids only for lining chambers.


In 1986 a French team using microgravimeter equipment detected small hidden cavities behind the west wall of the horizontal passage to the Queen's Chamber. They were permitted to bore a 1" diameter hole and found a cavity filled with sand. They were not permitted to dig or tunnel for further investigation.

The cavities in the horizontal passage to the Queen's Chamber correspond to two floor stones in this passageway with joints perpendicular to the rest of the joints in the floor stones. This type of indicator can also be found at the junction of the descending and ascending passageways.



In 1987 a Japenese team used an electromagnetic wave method to search for cavities in the Great Pyramid. They identified a cavity under the horizontal passage to the Queen's Chamber about 1.5 meters beneath andextending for 2.5-3.0 meters in depth. They also identified a cavity behind the western part of the northern wall of the Queen's Chamber. They identified nocavities within the King's chamber, possibly due to the denser granite walls. Three potential cavities were identified in the area of the Sphinx.

Geophysical and Astronomical Relations

The three main pyramids line up with
the Belt of Orion.



Mean Earth Temperature:

The average temperature of Egypt equals the average temperature of earth = avg. temperature of Queen's Chamber = 68 degrees Fahrenheit. With the original surrounding courtyards and temples in place, the pyramid was used as a sundial.

The pyramid was used to indicate solstices and equinoxes.

Tropical Year:

The length of the granite portion of the floor of the antechamber to the King's Chamber times 2*sqrt(Pi) = 365.242

Tropical Year:

The ratio of the lengths of the Grand Gallery to the solid diagonal of the King's Chamber times 100 equals the number of days in a tropical year. {(1881.5985600 / 51.516461) * 100 = 365.242200, accurate to 8 digits}

Mean Distance to the Sun:


Sun's Radius:

Twice the perimeter of the bottom of the granite coffer times 10**8 is the sun's mean radius. { 270.45378502 PI* 10**8 = 427,316 miles}

Earth's Polar Radius:

The sacred cubit times 10**7 = polar radius of the earth (distance from North Pole to Earth's center) {25 PI * 10**7 * (1.001081 in / 1 PI) * (1 ft / 12 in) * (1 mi/ 5280 ft) = 3950 miles }

Radius of the Earth:


Precession of the Equinoxes:

The sum of the pyramid's twobase diagonals in PI = length of the Precession of the Equinoxes (~25827 years) Precession of the Equinoxes:




The pyramid suggests a temperature system: 0 = freezing point of water, 50 = unvarying temp of Queen's Chamber, 250 = boiling point of water.

Given this, then 1000 = temp of red hot iron, 4000 = temp that iron liquifies, and 5000 = temp of white heat and temp that platinum fuses. Nice round numbers. [39:45] - 5 cubic pyramid inches of earth of average density has the same mass as 1/(50x50) of the coffer's volume of water at a temperature that is 1/5th the difference between freezing and boiling.

On midnight of the autumnal equinox in the year of the Great Pyramid's completion, a line extending from the apex pointed to the star Alcyone.




North Star Pointer:



Polaris in Greek means Satan.

The southern shaft in the King's Chamber (45 deg, 00 min, 00 sec) pointed to the star Al Nitak (Zeta Orionis) in the constellation Orion, circa 2450 B.C.

The Orion constellation was associated with the Egyptian god Osiris.

No other star aligned with this shaft during that Epoch.

The northern shaft in the King's Chamber (32 deg, 28 min, 00 sec) pointed to the star Alpha Draconis, circa 2450 B.C.


The northern shaft in the Queen's Chamber (39 deg, 00 min, 00 sec) pointed to the star Ursa Minor, circa 2450 B.C.


Of the three pyramids, Cheops is the most significant because it contains a portal. In a fictionalized account of this, the movie Stargate, the portal links from the pyramid to some far planet.

The interior temperature at 62 degree Fahrenheit.

The pyramid is the only remaining structure of the 7 wonders of the ancient world.

The polished surfaces of the original mantle reflected heat, sunlight, and moonlight and was probably used as to aid Nile river navigation at night.

No mummy has ever been found in a pyramid in Egypt. Mummies have always come from mastabas or tombs in the Valley of the Kings.

The word Pharaoh is from the Hebrew interpretation of the Egyptian per aa, originally meaning the great house.


Between 1300-1700 A.D. mummy flesh was ground into powder and used in Europe as medicinal aids. Mummy powder has also been used for artist paints.

Mummy wrappings were at one time used to make paper and burned in fireplaces by poor Egyptians.

The pyramids of Giza are among the oldest man-made structures in existence.

Cleopatra was the last pharaonic ruler of Egypt before it fell to Rome in 30 B.C.

Initially, after the 5 chambers above the King's Chamber were opened, those that entered the 2nd chamber were turned black by a powder which existed only in that chamber. It was analyzed and determined to be the dust from the cast off shells and skins of insects.

Most pyramids were accompanied by smaller satellite pyramids usually built to the south and east of the main pyramid. Some were tombs for queens and princesses. Most of the structures were mastabas built to entomb the pharaoh's family, members of royalty, and the priestly class. In nearly all of the pyramids and tombs, it was a general practice that the burial chamber was oriented slightly west of the north/south center line of the pyramid.

In ancient Egypt, Pharaoh's wives were never buried with them in pyramids or tombs, they were buried separately.
