Questions about setup
A study conducted between 1880 and 1882 by Sir William Flinders Petrie showed that there was no spatial relationship between distances and pyramid directions, or indeed anything else. However, theories that have since developed have suggested that the spatial relationships of the pyramids reflect the straight-line alignment of Orion's Belt and the orbital paths of Mercury, Mars, and Venus. Other theories have suggested that the circumference of the Great Pyramid, or the Pyramid of Cheops, of 36,525 inches corresponds to the number of days in 100 years and the number of books containing ancient wisdom attributed to the god Thoth.
The pyramid inch, the basic unit used to measure pyramids, is only a fraction of an inch.
Webb said initiatives like the University of Chicago's Giza Mapping Project reveal strange alignments inside the pyramids that could shed new light on theories about alignments.
"Computer visualization of the pyramids' interiors and their chambers could reveal some revelations we currently don't know about," Webb said. He added that the pyramids remain shrouded in mystery. "In reality, we will never know what inspired the ancient Egyptians to build the pyramids or how they did it."
