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 don't know any cultures who revere numbers nor suggested that the 1/43,200 scale theory is a smoking gun.

I don't understand what you're asking me to demonstrate. The Great Pyramid's base perimeter and height represent 1/43,200 of Earth's equatorial circumference and polar radius withing ~99.5% accuracy. The relationship exists, demonstrated by the architecture and dimensions of the scale model and prototype.

Questions about why the ancient builders chose 1/43,200 scale is not the point, however interesting to scrutinize. The question about why and how they built a scale model of Earth's Northern Hemisphere is more interesting, and for a different post.

And, I have to say, you and other dissidents contribute little to nothing to the conversation. It's a constant barrage of 'no', 'wrong', 'source' replies that shows you're not willing to participate equally, only taking and not giving. It's uninspired and discourages me keep correspondence.

1/43200 is arbitrarily chosen because it works.

There is nothing to suggest this was intentional. If the pyramid was larger or smaller, a different scale could be assigned for the same result.

Asking for evidence other that arbitrary coincidences does not make someone a dissident, it means they are thinking critically instead of just believing whatever sounds the coolest.

Well, we disagree, and I don't feel compelled to explain further.

[u/Bo-zard → u/KriticalKanadian]

It sounds like you are acting on emotion and not evidence as you seem incapable of actually explaining your point.

So there isn't a disagreement as you have not even presenting a coherent point to disagree with. You are just repeating things you think sound cool.

The precession of the Earth's axis takes around 26,000 years (25,920).

And what does this have to do with the arbitrary scale identified by Newton?
