Abstract

The paper is an attempt to show the architectonic method of the ancient Egyptian designers for encoding the horizontal-projections of the moon’s declinations during two events of the minor lunar standstills, in the design of the site-plan of the horizon of the Giza pyramids, using the methods of descriptive geometry. It shows that the distance of the eastern side of the second Giza pyramid from the north-south axis of the great pyramid encodes a projection of a lunar declination, when earth’s obliquity-angle was ~24.10°. Besides, it shows that the angle of inclination of the causeway of the second Giza pyramid, of ~13.54° south of the cardinal east, encodes the projection of another lunar declination when earth’s obliquity-angle reaches ~22.986°. In addition, it shows the encoded coordinate system in the site-plan of the horizon of the Giza pyramids.

小月亮的结构编码在吉萨金字塔的地平线上停滞不前

本文试图展示古埃及设计师在设计吉萨金字塔地平线的场地平面图时，使用描述几何的方法，在两次小月球停滞期间对月球赤纬的水平投影进行编码的建筑方法。这表明，当地球的倾角为~24.10°时，吉萨第二金字塔东侧与大金字塔南北轴线的距离编码了月球赤纬的投影。此外，吉萨第二金字塔堤道的倾角在东经偏南~13.54°处，在地球的倾角达到~22.986°时，编码了另一个月球赤纬的投影。此外，还显示了吉萨金字塔地平面的编码坐标系。
