The main grid Click to strat the animation.

Compared to the grid of 20 Cubits, one can trace there rectangles or right-angled triangles of ratio 2/4 (or 1/2), such as above. The three rectangles which we traced correspond exactly to the ascending corridor and the Great gallery as well as to the Queen Chamber.

One can check it for example by considering the length of the Great gallery which is mentioned by Mr Zahi-Hawass (Director of the site of Gizeh) for 47 meters length in his publications. The hypotenuse of the triangle which is dimensioned 40 Cubits and 80 Cubits will be 89,44 cubits. Each one corresponding to 0.5236 meter, the length of the great gallery will be thus 46,83 meters.

Another checking: The publications under the aegis of the Louvre Museum give a 26°50/100 slope.

Our current trigonometry tell us that an angle whose ratio is ½ (40/80) has a value of 26°33' 54.

For my part I consider and in the absence of better definite measurements that these results are perfectly matched.

Each one can also notice that the King Chamber seems to rest on an identical rectangle but which would be placed vertically.

If one always considers the rectangle of ratio 1/2, it will be easy to note that the " Great descending shaft " was also carried out on the same /ratio which in the species is consisted in 3 times 20 Cubits in the vertical direction and six times 20 Cubits in the horizontal direction, that is to say always a ratio of 1/2. (Secondary grid shifted of 11 Cubits towards the South).
