Pyramidology The definition of Pyramidology herein is the study of the Great Pyramid to determine its divinity; more specifically, was it designed by God? Other definitions are excluded from this study. In the course of studying the Pyramid, the question came to mind, ʺwhy did David Davidsonʹs chronology end in 1953ʺ, as described in his book ʺThe Great Pyramid- Its Divine Messageʺ? Though I never directly answered that question, my research has taken me down a path where I now believe the Pyramid provides sufficient evidence to prove that it witnesses to all of Godʹs 7000-year plan, which stretches far beyond 1953. This study presents that evidence. This concept is not something new as many have followed this path before, such as John Taylor, Piazzi Smyth, John and Morton Edgar, David Davidson, and Adam Rutherford. The ideas that these researchers provided were based upon the information and tools that were available in their times. The most significant difference between now (2018-19) and then (1865-1970) is that none of the prior researchers had the advantage of a Personal Computer (PC) with astronomical, spreadsheet, drawing, and word processing software and access to the internet. Without a PC, I doubt that these hypotheses and clues could have been developed, and I believe that this marks the predetermined time of a more detailed discovery as now rather than an earlier time. The Goal of The Study As stated, the original goal of this study was to understand why the chronology in David Davidsonʹs book terminated in August of 1953 at the south wall of the Kingʹs Chamber. However, it became apparent that the evidence does not support Davidsonʹs twelve-sided Pyramid theory but that it should be square. Some students have a vested interest in Davidsonʹs theories, which, to a certain extent, are based on the shape of the base. However, a new theory is presented herein, which matches what the Pyramid purist looks for in the Pyramid. That is the external, and primary internal dimensions are defined by the number of days in a year, 365.25 as used by modern astronomers, the Sacred Cubit, the Bʺ, the number 2, and the constant π. Because the twelve-sided Pyramid concept is not viable, it is necessary to change two tenets, which are the length of the Sacred Cubit and the Pyramid inch to arrive at the new theory. I ask the ʺDavidsonʺ reader to bear with the concept of this new theory until at least the end of ʺPaper 4. The Exteriorʺ regarding the external dimensions of the Pyramid. However, continuing to Paper 7, and beyond, will reveal so much more about God’s design of the Pyramid and His plan. This new study shows how the Pyramid matches the story and chronology of the Bible, to the day, in most cases and the hour in others. Since the Pyramid was designed and built before most Bible events occurred, it foretold them and continues to do so. It is this prophetic characteristic that validates the concept that God was responsible for the design of the Pyramid. It is the way He has chosen to reveal Himself at this time in history. As we saw earlier, Isaiah 19 says we should expect this revelation to occur at this time. © Copyright 2019 M J Cooper In Accordance With Title Page – Oregon USA 1 The Scope of the Study The study will mainly concentrate on analyzing the surveys of the Pyramid to define the original intent of the design and match that to Bible chronology. There are other tenets of Pyramidology that will not be investigated in this study; at this time, as follows: Precession of the equinoxes Length of the earthʹs orbit Mean distance of the earth to the sun The weight of the earth Obliquity of the Ecliptic The volume of the earthʹs crust above sea level The proportion of land and sea on the earthʹs surface Built at the geographical center of the land surface of the earth Stands on the longest land contact meridian Situated on the most extended land contact, earth –circuit bearing (rhumb) on the Earthʹs surface The purpose of the Capstone is an essential tenet of Pyramidology, and it will be described in this paper. There is one other tenet of Pyramidology described, with new data, at the end of this paper, which deals with the compass bearing of Bethlem and Patmos from the Pyramid. The hypotheses under evaluation in this study are: The Great Pyramid passage system can demonstrate its equivalence with the chronology of the Bible within one day, or better, over 7000 years. The Great Pyramid assists in revealing the measurement system of God used in the creation of the universe. There are several constraints: At least two witnesses are required to prove any point. Data sources need to be proven to be relevant to the Pyramid. For example, data from the Egyptian King Lists or Book of the Dead, if they were ever actually relevant, define a Pyramid that is too large compared with that revealed by the surveys. Writings that describe the initiation of a neophyte into the mysteries of Egypt or the worship of earthly kings are hardly a source one should consider for defining anything associated with God. Davidson ʺThe Great Pyramid: Its Divine Messageʺ, (pars. 108-109, pp. 87-88). On the other hand, a survey relating to the dimensions of the Pyramid is relevant as the data is speaking for the Pyramid itself. The following resources are acceptable sources of data for this study: o Surveys of the Pyramid o The Bible o Astronomy for generating and finding historical dates o Mathematics © Copyright 2019 M J Cooper In Accordance With Title Page – Oregon USA 2 o Proven history, particularly but not limited to biblical history – the Bible is an excellent source for the former The hypothesis has evolved into three areas, as described below. 1. The first area is a mathematical study, which is based on clues derived from surveys of the Great Pyramid and numerical and physical constants such as π. Other than the Holy Bible and the results of several surveys of the Great Pyramid, which are necessary as the standards by which to compare the hypothesis, no reliance is placed on any other external source of data as it may be corrupted. Its association with the Pyramid will need to be proven, which is not an easy task after 6000 years. By two independent mathematical proofs, it will be shown that the Pyramid was built using the British Inch (Bʺ) as its primary unit, not the Pyramid Inch (Pʺ). However, the Bʺ is a slightly corrupted form of God’s basic length unit with which He designed the universe. The hypothesis also shows that the Cubit (20.6 Bʺ), is mathematically related to the British Inch, and it too is used in parts of the Pyramid. Mathematics shows that the base of the Pyramid should be about 9069 Bʺ based solely on the use of natural constants and features of the Pyramid. The average of five surveys shows that the base, as built, is approximately 9069 Bʺ, so the only conclusion that can be drawn is that the Base was designed using Bʺ. From the study, it will be shown how to mathematically reconstruct the exterior and interior of the Pyramid as designed. The accuracy is generally better than ± 0.25 Bʺ, and the worst-case difference is 0.55 Bʺ. 2. The second area is the construction of a complete timeline that matches both the Bible and the Pyramid from Adamʹs sin in Genesis to the Judgment Day of the Great White Throne in The Book of Revelation. The concept, based on earlier studies by the researchers named later, is that the chronology of the Bible maps to the floor of the Pyramid passageways. Approximately one British Inch represents one year along the sloping passages. The goal is to reconstruct a highly accurate and complete Biblical timeline along the sloping passages that matches the passage lengths predicted by the clues from the first part of the study. A significant point of this area of the study is that the passageways demonstrate that all 7000 years of the Bible, i.e., both the Old and New Testaments, are portrayed in the Pyramid. Five translations of the Old Testament were evaluated to determine which one, or ones, fitted the Pyramid passages, and it was found that only the Masoretic Text could be made to precisely fit. 3. The third area is that Danielʹs prophecies, and those in Revelation, can be mapped onto the internal passages of the Pyramid. This mapping explains features of the Pyramid that have remained mysteries until now, particularly in the Grand Gallery, such as the two grooves cut in the third overlap, the stepped ceiling tiles, and the 56 holes cut in the benches either side of the Grand Gallery. Also shown is that Danielʹs 490 and 2300 year prophecies are contiguous and stretch over 2790 years, and only a few hundred of the © Copyright 2019 M J Cooper In Accordance With Title Page – Oregon USA 3 2300 years remain.
