The Pyramid Inch is a unit of measurement slightly larger than a standard
inch (1.0010846752 British inches or 25.4mm), and is based on the
Royal Cubit, found throughout the pyramids in
Egypt. This
Royal Cubit is slightly longer than 25 standard inches (between 523 mm and 526 mm). Since this length was discovered in many places around the Pyramids, which are obviously works of great skill, it was assumed by some that this Royal Cubit is the natural unit of measurement for length. The
Pyramid foot was also used, which is 307.15
mm, which is very close to 1/100 if an
arc second.
After the
discovery of this, it was found that the
polar radius of
Earth is
approximately 250
million times the length of the Pyramid inch.
Proof indeed! As we have refined the estimate of the polar radius, so have people refined the length of the Pyramid inch, so that correlation is always accurate.
The sides of the
Great Pyramid are approximately
365.25 Royal
Cubits, and the perimeter is 36525 Pyramid Inches. A number which should be familiar to everybody. Some people take this to be another sign of the advanced nature of
Ancient Egypt, others (like myself) wonder why a
burial chamber would need to be in
proportion to both the
polar radius of Earth and to the
length of the year. The pyramid inch is just another of the many
mysteries surrounding the pyramids.
