The Great Pyramid

The Pyramids of Egypt have been the study of many scientists since they were built over 4,000 years ago. These seventh wonders of the world also contain many of the sacred mathematical constants that I have talked about in earlier post. Three of the most mystical and puzzling numbers in all of mathematics have actually been found incorporated in the same structure being The Great Pyramid. The three constants that combined to form the backbone of complex math are Phi (The Golden Ratio), Pi (3.141), and the base logarithm e (2.718). The chance that all three of these numbers are found in the dimensions of the pyramid is unlikely a coincidence. But this would imply that the ancient Egyptians were so advanced in mathematics that they were able to actually apply such intricate patterns into a massive construction such as the pyramids. The purpose of the pyramids is still somewhat a mystery and most Egyptologists are not convinced that they were simply the tomb for famous pharaohs. Perhaps they were built to teach and unlock mathematical secrets that scientists have been searching for years.
