There is a dual alteration to astronomical properties according to terrestrial latitude and sky-viewing data. On the one hand, the celestial poles are positioned in direct relation to the terrestrial latitude, an example being Khufu’s pyramid location of 29o 58’ 45.03” and the celestial poles at that altitude above and below that horizon. On the other hand, the projection of Earth’s equator out into the cosmos shows its altitude is 90o minus the terrestrial latitude. Again with Khufu’s pyramid, the equator appears to cross the southern meridian at 60o 01’ 14.97” altitude.
There has to be very good reason for such precision of the pyramid’s location so the cosmos appears as it does, and while no good reason has crossed the various paths we use to understand the pyramid, there may be some very simple answers. One thing we could look at as an influence is sun appearance.
It takes an average of 8 min 19 sec for sunlight to reach Earth, with Earth between 152,100,000 and 147,095,000 km from the sun, meaning the equinoxes reference average sunlight time lag. The sun takes up from 31.6 to 32.7 arc-minutes of our sky, meaning it is about 32.15 arc-minutes wide on the equinoxes. Stellarium shows it to be 32.12 arc-minutes wide. For Earth’s rotation and sun distance, the sun is actually about 4 widths of itself above the horizon when we start to see it rise at the horizon.
At the latitude of the pyramid, the circumference is about 21,620 nautical miles, rotating nearly 361o in 24hr to give a rotation speed of about 60.06nm per minute or about 0.25nm per second. The perimeter of the pyramid is thus 2 seconds large.
Our rotation is certain, sun size is certain, pyramid location is certain, speed of light is certain, our orbit and a calendar year is certain, and astronomical associations are certain. Pyramid location is also in its position to define a nice average of 100nm for a curve taking in the Nile Delta as it meets the Mediterranean Sea, as measured from the pyramid. 100nm is 1 2/3 degrees of the polar meridian, or 1.665o of the circumference at the pyramid’s latitude.
Pi times equinox sun-width results in 1.695o, while winter solstice sun width times pi equals 1.655o. The very fine difference between winter sun size and a fraction of Earth’s size is the winter solstice is not the day we need to make figures work. We need the sun to appear as 31.83o if there is any correlation here. The dates for that are September 18 and April 21, or 216 days from one to the other. I hazard a guess that the exact time-length is 216.2 days, or one tenth the number of Earth’s circumference at pyramid latitude.
Now, at that latitude, being just 1 ¼ minutes shy of 30o, a strange observation can be made. 1 ¼ minutes of 30 degrees is a 1440th.
There are quite the few correlating factors here, linking together time, distance and angle. Of course pi has a role to play, no matter if folk like actual pi or 22/7. But surely the sun has its role, as well as Earth’s size, in placing the pyramid exactly where it needs to be. It incorporates some every precise terrestrial and celestial observations. Oh, and the amount of time it takes for sunlight to reach us? The appearance of the sun lags 4.075 sun widths behind its actual position on specific days. I’m sure folk will work out what that means.
I’m sure those who do not like original offerings will respond about the price of Big Macs these days. Yeah, they sure have gone up while also getting smaller. For those actually interested in defining answers to mysteries, I’m sure you will appreciate the numbers being used.
Cheers
