[geometry] earth, moon, pyramid
1 Draw the Earth's circumference and superimpose the base of The Great Pyramid on it, so that the diameter of the earth is also the base of the pyramid.
2 Draw the moon in proportion to the Earth and 'rest it on top' of the Earth.
3 Rule a square around the Earth's circumference.
4 Create a third larger circle around the Earth, which is 'the circle squared'.
5 Connect the ends of the base line to the centre of the moon. This new shape is the exact shape of The Great Pyramid, in exact proportion.
6 Place a triangle next to the moon, the same height and leading out to the end of the 'earth enclosing square'. It's the classic 3-4-5 triangle.
The Great Pyramid is at the geographical centre of the Earth, if the total area of land mass is calculated.

Since the land mass is scattered on the surface of a globe, its centre is somewhere below the surface. Moreover, the map might well refer to land area rather than mass; it might even refer to area projected onto a plane. It almost certainly doesn't include consideration of sea level when the pyramid was built. All-in-all, you can safely reject this proposition, though why one would bother with such logical arguments when the proposition is evident lunacy, I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteLunacy can appear logical at times.
