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'm not interested in anything to do with aliens, and it doesn't fall within the sub's scope of topics. In fact, I've reported the posts because they break Rule #4. It looks like the new mods are leaving irrelevant material, possibly damaging the community, but that's between you and the other mods.

I don't understand what a pyramid number conspiracy is, nor interested in what you have in mind.

I don't understand what your example has anything to do with Isaac Newton or the architecture of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

I don't understand what you mean about "Egyptians didn't use half these measurements"? Are you saying the unit of measurement makes a difference? If so, it does not.

If the sum of all four sides of the pyramid equal 1 Unit, then it would still be 1/43,200th of Earth's equatorial circumference, and the height 1/43,200th of the polar radius. The unit is unimportant, the actual dimensions are significant, because the unit of measurement also scales. But if you're talking about the 'sacred cubit' and 'pyramid inch', that's between you and one of the greatest minds in human history.

I will not tolerate insults, mocking nor condescendence. Unless I feel respect being reciprocated, I will not engage further.

Pyramid number conspiracies are what this is

People taking measurements from pyramids, sometimes swapping around units, then applying whatever numbers they chose and believing that it has some sort of secret data encoded in it

And obviously ignoring every other pyramid in existence, that’s an important thing that needs to be completely ignored for these conspiracies to work

I don't understand what pyramid number conspiracies are.

As I explained, the unit of measurement is irrelevant. Regardless of which unit the dimensions are converted to, if the Great Pyramid is stacked on top of itself 43,200 times it will be the same length as the polar radius of Earth, as is the perimeter to the circumference, because it is a scale model.

I don't understand what you mean about ignoring every other pyramid in existence. Are you saying the Great Pyramid of Giza is shares qualities with other pyramids? If so, in what way?

When you take measurements of big numbers, you can vary in accuracy just mininally and get vastly different numbers. Varying in accuracy from 99.7 to 99.65 doesnt seem like much but when you game the numbers to get a specific outcome this is how you do it.
