PROOF OF GOD

Density is 5.515 according to NASA.The same site gives a figure for polar radius, and some basic math shows the pyramid should be 138.55m using your OP figures. From the many sites Percy has listed, it isn't the case.Anyway, my main reason for posting is your specified location of the pyramid. Using mapping software, I have located the pyramid at 29 58' 52.67" North, 31 8' 1.37" E, which is just under a mile away from your OP coords. I am willing to investigate your claims of the pyramid being the centre of land mass, longest land meridian and centre of delta coastline quadrant, but we must first agree where the pyramid actually is. Can you verify the position claimed in your OP?PS: I have a nice map image showing the difference between the two locations, is there an easy way to upload the image to this board?

hope this works... Image produced using Mapinfo Professional, satellite image from JPL.My location of the pyramid shown in red, the claimed (post 72) position in blue. Sorry, I was not clear - I meant verify position as in the position of the pyramid. The only data I have to work with to check these claims is the location of the pyramid. The coords previously posted appear to be incorrect.Post 230 is what I'm trying to investigate, but it gives me no data. For example, Henry Mitchell must have determined a radius for the delta coast quadrant to find the centre point - what is that radius? What were the coords of his survey points? If I have this info, I can map it to check the claim. Without underlying data, the claims are meaningless. This may sound negative, but consider that accurately mapping this may validate your position.

I don't think it would make any noticeable difference, but it's best to get the basic facts right. However, any calculation now seems moot, since Pink points out -Smyth: "...the Great Pyramid's general parallel of 30...".What's a general parallel? 100 miles each way? Apart from wishful thinking, this doesn't make the location of the Great Pyramid any more special than anything else within the range.I think there is at least one "centre of land mass" in Africa, but at several hundred miles from the pyramid site. (I may attempt an approx calc if I can work up some enthusiasm!)

Your sources are wrong. Terraserver agrees with my location. Hopefully tomorrow, I'll calculate the land meridian from the true location of the Pyramid and see if I can find a longer one. If your sources could provide some actual data rather than just claims, that would make a useful comparison.[edit: spelling]This message has been edited by Lindum, 06-28-2004 05:00 PM

Not just my say so - I gave you a link to Terraserver, did you check it?Anyway, I've measured a couple of land meridians for you, one through the pyramid and one 331 miles west of the pyramid. You can see the data here, but the result is that the pyramid meridian is shorter by 384 miles. I don't expect you to take my word for it, but I've given you the data so you can either ignore it or have it checked. Do your sources supply any data for this particular claim?

Ned, I've updated my results page with some brief methodology details.WILLOWTREE: Accuracy. You are, of course, free to believe your sources, however, before you descend into "argument by PhD", bear in mind the sources for the info which my data is based include NASA.Once again, do your sources provide any data regarding the longest land meridian claim? They MUST have some recorded measurements to base their claim on. As Ned has pointed out, this isn't rocket science, just some points on a map and a little arithmetic.

They didn't get within a mile - you may have misread my recent posts. The pyramid is 331 miles away from a significantly longer land meridian. 331 miles is more than a slight contradiction.
