Math 181.S96, Brunes' construction #3
Cheop's pyramid elevation section and the symbol "K"
Here at last Brunés presents his case.
We return to the cross-section of the pyramid
through the vertical plane determined by the
entrance corridor, Grand Gallery, King's Chamber, etc.
- Brunés' Figure 86, p. 140
- Within the basic square is drawn its
center-right quarter-square, 20-21-22-23
- Within this quarter-square is drawn its upper-left half-square,
the symbol "K", 20-24-25-26 (square A)
- Within the square A is drawn its
lower-left half square, the symbol "J", 28-29-30-26 (square B)
- Within square B is drawn its
lower-left half square, the symbol "J", side 32-26 (square C)
- Allignments given on pp. 139-141:
- line 28-29: floor of King's Chamber (sacred cut of square A)
- line 26-25: floor of Subterranean Chamber
- line 28-31: floor of ascending passage and Grand Gallery
- line 30-29: desc passage meets asc passage
- line 28-29: bottom of the King's Chamber
- center of square B: the Well
- line 32-27: bottom of Queen's Chamber (sacred cut of square B)
- diag 25-20: meets desc passage at special stone markers
- circular arc 28-30: meets desc passage at deep fissure in rock
- Brunés' Figure 87, p. 142
- Within the quarter-square 20-21-22-23 is drawn its center-left
half-square, the symbol "N" turned 90 degrees right.
This is the square: 33-34-35-36.
- Within the quarter-square 20-21-22-23 is drawn its center-right
half-square, the symbol "N" turned 90 degrees left.
This is the square: 37-40-39-38.
- Square 33-34-35-36 is translated to the right.
This is the square: 37-38-39-40.
- Allignments given on pp. 141-143:
- line 41-33: ceiing of Grand Gallery
- line 37-38: lower end of Gallery (approx.)
We rest our case.
