Including extra dimensions?

I have another question, since the egyptians documented themselves and their kings with such scrutiny (not really but OK), how come there's no record of them building the pyramids? You seem so sure you know how they were constructed, and yet egyptologists can't even agree. The only thing they can agree on is that all their theories are impossible.

I never once talked about how they were built, and I don't pretend to know. There are a few realistic theories floating about that have been alluded to earlier in this thread. As for who built the pyramids, there is little disagreement on that.

Egyptian pyramids - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Also if you take the perimeter of the pyramid and divide it by two times the height, you get a number that is exactly equivalent to the number pi (3.14159...) up to the fifteenth digit.

This kinda works. Khufu's Pyramid is accurate to the 2nd digit, Khafre's Pyramid only gives 3.0, so again your facts are wrong. If it's relevant, Egyptians did have a rudimentary approximation for pi.

And that's just the tip of the iceburg.

Warn the Titanec!

It's not related. There just happens to be certain dimensions that work given the materials you're working with. Anyone who claims that some ratio is pi really has to demonstrate that it's extremely close to pi. 3 is not that close. Apparently OD realizes this, since he lied and said it fit pi to 15 digits, so he knows that 1 or 2 digits wouldn't be impressive.

Also, how would OD explain the Bent Pyramid? Did the Egyptians change their value of pi half way through?

4 above ground, plus a floor. So 5 sides total. Now you're going to tell me that it's actually 13, right?
