Mathematical Encoding in Pre-historic Architecture: Case Study of the Pyramid of Cheops

Abstract

: Justifying the geometric representation of the Pyramid of Cheops of Giza in Egypt is of great concern to studies on the prehistoric intelligence of a great civilization that used to inhabit the ancient world. This research aimed to define the encoded values of the Pyramid of Cheops in its inter-relation with depicting the Pyramid’s volume derived from its building block arrangement without imposing the conventional studies made elsewhere. We may conclude that construction of the Pyramid of Cheops of Giza in Egypt relates to the graphical representation of any plane of its horizontal building blocks with respect to the distribution of the blocks and the general depiction of the Pyramid’s form. (Ghoussayni, Findings of Patterns in Prehistoric Architecture, 2018) One Sentence Summary: The study contributes a sequence of findings based on a simple justification for the geometry of the Pyramid of Cheops, derived from the patterns of its building blocks and their distribution, from the apex down, as a direct indicator on the graphical representation of the main section of the Pyramid of Cheops of Giza.
