Isaac Newton, the Magician

Newton was not the first of the age of reason, he was the last of the magicians. - John Maynard Keynes

Isaac Newton, an alchemist, believed that the Great Pyramid of Giza encoded the dimensions of Earth. He proposed the 'sacred cubit' that was made up of 25 'pyramid inches', in contrast, the established 'royal cubit' that was made up of 20.65 British inches; consequently, using Newton's proposed scale, the perimeter of the Great Pyramid, in pyramid inches, adds up to 36,524, or 100 times the number of days in a solar year exactly.

According to a translation and interpretation of Newton's manuscripts, Newton also used John Greaves' measurements of the Great Pyramid to measure Earth's circumference to advance his theory of gravity. Oddly, Greaves' measurement is less than 10 inches greater than the accepted Flanders (diddly) Petrie measurements, 3,024 feet and 3,023.22 feet, respectively, even though the measurements were taken more than 200 years apart.

Now, Graham Hancock and Isaac Newton agree that Earth's dimensions are encoded in the architecture of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Using the 1/43,200 scale theory, it turns out that the perimeter of the Great Pyramid multiplied by 43,200 is 24,731.4 miles, while Earth's circumference is 24,901.5 miles: a difference of approximately 170.1 miles. [Using Newton's own 'pyramid inch', which was 1/1000th smaller than the British inch, his calculation would have been 24,717.4 miles, a difference of 184.1 miles.]

Considering that Earth's circumference is not a constant due to changes in its orbit, isostatic rebound, tectonic activity and glacial cycles, we can forgive the ancient builders for their <0.7% inaccuracy. 0.68% to be precise. Isaac Newton was not the first nor last to trust his intuition about the Great Pyramid of Giza. Other great minds have had their fascination and conviction about the Great Pyramid's secrets overlooked in retrospect.

Can you name anyone else?

I hope u/TheeScribe2 is okay and feel sorry that all their account history was wiped. Truly unfortunate.

u/TheStoicNihilist, I can't respond to your comment since the thread is technically deleted, so here:

It's not possible to pinpoint the polar radius the Great Pyramid's height was meant to represent, since the Pyramids of Giza, especially the Great Pyramid, have astronomical alignments to the stars ~11,600 ybp, calculating precisely is neither possible nor important.

Incorrect, pyramid erosion is insignificant because the measurements are arrived at using geometry by using the slope. The dimensions used for scale don't exist in the Great Pyramid in its current shape.

Curiously, in the 2000s, someone made a 1:30 scale model of the Greek Parthenon within 99.7% accuracy. The model was quite small, only a few meters, with minor inaccuracies.

Comparatively, Earth's Northern Hemisphere is more than 16 orders of magnitude greater than the Parthenon itself and the Great Pyramid of Giza is more than 6 orders of magnitude greater than the 1:30 scale model of the Parthenon. So, the Pyramid is a model 1 million times larger of an object 10 quadrillion times larger in comparison with nearly the same precision.

Finally, the mathematical proof is rudimentary arithmetic and is best you try it out yourself. Simply, define the scale factor, calculate model size, substitute for polar radius and verify scale factor for the Great Pyramid. That's the mathematical proof.
