This means the GP builders knew how to align a long shaft to true north, and they knew which star was the pole star/North star.

Ancient egyptians did not have this modern knowledge.

Is there some reason that the ancient egyptians could not have gone out at night, looked up at the sky and pointed to the pole star? That is all that would be needed to align the shaft with the star. They would need no math, no science and not even needed to know that it was North.

Where did the British get their inch ?

It inch came from the latin uncio meaning one twelth, which related to the royal foot. It was approximately the length of the second digit of the first finger of the royal right hand and one twelth of the royal foot.

And so far we have not dealt with who built the Pyramid. IYRC, that was to wait until the issues in the first Group of questions was resolved. If you would like to start a tread on who built the Great Pyramid I would be happy to try to show that it was the Ancient Egyptians.

Re: and PI is involved !

The Ancient Egyptians were familar with Pi but since they worked in fractions, there was some inaccuracy. They certainly understood spheers and volume and could perform any and all of the mathmatics needed to build structures such as the Great Pyramid.

Check out this link to the Moscow, Rhind and Berlin Papyrus.

Egyptian Mathematics.

These were copies of much older documents made in about 1800BCE but show that they were perfectly capable of all the needed mathematics. In particular, check out Problem 50 in the Rhind document, how to determine Pi.

Re: Where does Percy say this?

Actually, Percy was saying that figure was WRONG.

I've verified these figures. For a right triangle with an angle of 51.854o and a base of 9131.05/2=4565.53 PI", the height is 5813 PI". All this proves is that Rutherford can do math, since the 5813 PI" figure is derived, not measured. Had Rutherford measured all the angles and sides and found they agreed trigometrically, that would be a different story, but he didn't. He couldn't - the original capstone is no longer there to measure. It can only be inferred.

Unfortunately, Rutherford's height is wrong. {emphasis added}

Percy went on to ask:

Why did Rutherford feel the need to use the incorrect base length to obtain a higher height?

Selective quoting again?
