<h2>The Great Pyramid, the men of who shaped its meaning</h2> <p> A London publisher named John Taylor also a gifted mathematician desiring to analyze the pyramids astronomical elements. He studied it's measurements being seriously interested in the results from a mathematicians point of view.<br /><br />From his findings he deduced that it was not possible that the Great Pyramid was built by the Egyptians. He tried to find a correlation between the inner chambers and corridors of the Great Pyramid, and believed that one day there would be discovered a relationship that would connect those measurements with history and Biblical prophecy.<br /><br />Later, a Scottish Astronomer named Piazzi Smyth brought the discipline of applied science to bear on the study of the Great Pyramid. Following in the footsteps of Taylor Smyth, he believed the only way to prove or disprove Taylor theories was to go to Egypt and do his own measurements.<br /><br />The results of his work was published and highly regarded. Smyth summed up his investigation: "The Great Pyramid revealed a most surprisingly accurate knowledge of high astronomical and geographical physics..."<br /><br />Smyth's work began to stimulate a growing belief that the ancient pillar of stone had about it something more than a mere tomb for a rich and ambitious Pharaoh. Something infinitely more than was ever in the power of the Egyptians to originate, or even to understand.<br /><br />Then the mechanical engineer Flanders Petrie set out to measure the Great Pyramid. His plan was to either negate or substantiate the work of Taylor and Smyth. His tools for measurement were superior with 1/1000 of an inch.<br /><br />In the beginning Petrie actually belittled Smyths basic contentions about the perimeter of the pyramid which incorporated the length of the solar year. Nevertheless it was Petrie who discovered a hallowing of the core masonry. His discovery of this facet actually led to a confirming Smyth's conclusions concerning the astronomical features of the Great Pyramid. <p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top:5pt"> <font face="Arial" style="font-size: 10pt">Article Source: <a href="http://www.ArticlesMaker.com">ArticlesMaker.com</a></font></p> <h3>About the Author</h3> Author: Ken Klein is a documentary movie producer and investigator.
