I just want to start a discussion on some of the findings and research I have done on the Great Pyramids of Giza.
All idea's and theories are welcome crazy or sensible.
I would like to discuss some of the findings of the Pyramid of Khufu's slopes inside the Pyramid.
They all seem to share the same angle of incline or decline.
26 Degrees.
- Interior of Apex = Sloped @ 26 degrees.
- Descending Passage = Sloped @ 26 degrees.
- Grand Gallery = Sloped @ 26 degrees.
Now what I am about to suggest is very very very far fetched. But I would like to put this idea out there and see what comes in return
26 Degree Angle? We all know the Egyptians were smart and loved to boast their mathematical abilities and also their astrological abilities.
Well, Its a far stretch from an angle to looking at what the number 26 means, but here it goes.
So I started off with what did the Egyptians love, the stars. Now you may be thinking, this guy is crazy how do 26 and the 'stars' link in any way. Well, it was quite interesting really the number 26 is actually found in the number of years it takes for the Axial Precession to complete, (every 26,000 years). Bit of a reach I know but stay with me.
The number 26 elsewhere;

And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees. -- KJV, 2 Kings 20:10
And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz. -- KJV, 2 Kings 20:11
And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken; -- KJV, Isaiah|38:7
Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down. -- KJV, Isaiah 38:8

I know they didn't. They measured in Royal Seked.
But they also measure distance In royal cubits and that hasn't stopped us translating it into Ft. or Meters?
