 Cheops-pyramid (pyramid of Khufu)

Of the the famous Seven Wonders of the Ancient World the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops) at Giza is the only one still standing. Even for modern men it is amazing how this man-made structure lasted so long.

The Giza pyramids must have made an incredible visual impact - at the edge of the desert three abstract geometrical symbols were rising, huge luminous white triangles reflecting the blinding light of the sun!

The pyramids on the Giza plateau are with 146.59m (Khufu / Cheops) and 143.87m (Khafre / Chefren) respectively the largest, however there are over 30 major pyramids and a myriad of smaller pyramids in Egypt.

 Detailed calculations how many workers were necessary to build the pyramid
 Overview pyramid building

Builder -------------------		Khufu (Chuefui-Chnum or Khnum-Khuf, Cheops in Greek) during the 4th dynasty of the old kingdom
Time to build		Probably max. 23 years (Khufu reigned from  2551 to 2528 before Christ *). Herodotus writes about 10 years of preparation and 20 years of building (details of the text)
Per day		With 2'500'000 stones 342 stones have to be moved daily (working during 365 days a year) or 431 stones daily (working during 290 days a year).
Per minute		10-hour day: every 2 minutes a stone (34 to 43 per hour) 8-hour day: nearly a stone every minute (42 to 53 stones per hour)
Rule of thumb		While construction the pyramid the rate of delivery was 1 stone weighting 2.5 tons every minute. For our calculations we assume 500 stones a day. This is a rough estimate, assuming a 8-hour day, during 290 days a year, with 20 years to build the pyramid. Also assuming, that more time had to be used for the huge granite blocks for the King's chamber and for the more difficult upper part of the pyramid, where work went slower than in the lower parts. There probably were also other factors delaying the building of the pyramid such as the weather or a temporary shortage of certain building materials.

 

 Building materials for the Cheops-pyramid

The Khufu-pyramid (Cheops) probably originally had 210 stone layers. At 50m height already 82% of the entire pyramid was built [3].

 Quarrying stones for the pyramid
 Shipping the stone blocks down the Nile to Giza
 Transporting the stone blocks using a sledge on tracks
 Löhner's rope roll

Stone blocks -------------------		2'300'000 stones
Casing blocks		115'000 to 200'000 stones or 67'390m³ [1]
Total blocks		2'500'000 stones
Stone layers		Originally probably 210 stone layers, now only 201 layers [2]
Stone size		The stone blocks usually are larger in the lower layers (1.5m = 3 cubit) and smaller in the upper layers. Most are between 1.5 and 2 cubit large (average of 127 x 127 x 71cm). 1 cubit = 0.524m - Details
Weight of the stone blocks		With an average density of 2,6 - 2,9 t/m³ the large limestone blocks weighted 6.5 - 10 tons and the smaller ones about 1.3 tons. For all calculations on this website an average weight of 2.5 tons was used.
Special blocks		For the King's chamber granite blocks weighting 40 to 50 tons were used
Total weight		6'500'000 tons (average weight of a block was about 2.5 tons)
Pyramidion		The final stone on the top was a large block in the shape of a pyramid. It was perhaps around 1.5m by 1.5m wide and 1.3m high (about 3 cubits). It was made from white Tura limestone (Turah), granite or perhaps diorite and perhaps gold plated. More information
Building materials		Pyramid: Nummulite limestone from quarries about 200-400m south of the pyramid were used for the core stones. Casing: light white limestone, so called Tura-limestone from quarries from the eastern shores of the Nile King's chamber: Rose granite from Aswan 900km away Further materials: Graywacke from the Wadi Hammamat (Eastern desert), basalt from the northern Faiyum  Map of quarries in Egypt

 

 Dimensions of the pyramid of Khufu

Length (a) -------------------		The average length of the edge is ~ 230.360m (230,12m = 440 cubits). Northern edge 230.328m - eastern edge 230.369m - southern edge 230.372m - western edge 230.372m. Largest difference is only 4.4cm. [3]
Height (h)		Originally 146.59m high (= 280 cubits), the pyramid is now only 138.75m high [7]
Diagonal (d)		325.77m
Ridge (g)		219m
Height of the lateral surface		186.42m
Pyramid angle α		51° 50' 40' = inclination of the lateral surface (= 52° rounded off) [3] which corresponds to a seked of 5½ palms
Pyramid angle β		58.3° = the two angles of the triangular lateral surface (62° = angle of the apex or tip of the pyramid) - nearly forming an equilateral triangle!
Pyramid angle γ		41.9° = angle of the ridge
Corner angle		Right angle base with angles from 89° 59' to 90°
Base area		53'065.73m²
Superficies surface		85'890.69m²
Pyramid volume		2'592'968.43m³ including the rock core. This would be a cube with a length of 137.38m. Probable volume of stones used: 2'583'283m³ [1] or 2'326'501m³ [2].
Alignment		Exactly to the north (deviation only 2' 28')
Latitude and longitude		N 29° 58’ 44.3830” latitude and E 31° 07’ 57.0194” longitude [5]
Altitude		The base of the pyramid of Khufu lies about 60m above sea level, so the tip of the pyramid used to be on 206m above sea level [6].

 Dimensions of the pyramid of Khufu in Egyptian Royal Cubits

	Length (a)		440 Royal Cubits
	Height (h)		280 Royal Cubits
	Height of the lateral surface (c)		356 Royal Cubits (356.09)
	Diagonal (d)		622.25 Royal Cubits
	Ridge (g)		418.56 Royal Cubits
	Pyramid angle α		51.843°
	Pyramid angle β		58.3°
	Pyramid angle γ		41.9°
	Corner angle		90°

It is suggested, that the Egyptians used a right angled triangle to determinate the angle of inclination of the pyramid, using the numbers a=11 and b=14 with c=17.8 (or a=22 - b=28 - c= 35.6). This determines a so called seked of 5½ palms.

Modo IA Todo Imágenes Vídeos Noticias Maps Shopping Libros Vuelos Finance The connection linking all of these elements is a web of esoteric historical timelines, alternative history theories, and symbolic numerology centered heavily on the date October 28th. While mainstream history views these as separate events, occult researchers, alternative historians, and conspiracy theorists connect them through recurring astrological alignments, geographic coordinates, and sacred geometry. Here is how each element connects to this overarching matrix: 1. October 28, 1492: Columbus and Cuba The Event: Christopher Columbus officially landed in Cuba on October 28, 1492, claiming it for Spain. The Esoteric Connection: Alternative historians note that Columbus was heavily influenced by biblical prophecy and eschatology. Some theorists argue his voyage was timed according to specific astrological windows, making October 28 a foundational date for the "New World" ritual alignment. 2. Feast of Saint Simon and Saint Jude (October 28) The Christian Calendar: In the Catholic liturgical calendar, October 28 is the feast day of St. Simon the Zealot and St. Jude Thaddaeus. The Connection: Saint Jude is famously known as the patron saint of lost causes and desperate situations, while Simon is associated with political zeal. In esoteric circles, launching major historical events (like Columbus's landing) on this specific feast day is believed to invoke specific spiritual or symbolic protections. 3. The Philadelphia Experiment and Atlantis The Philadelphia Experiment: This famous military myth claims that on October 28, 1943, the US Navy destroyer USS Eldridge was rendered completely invisible and teleported from Philadelphia to Norfolk. The Atlantis Link: Writers like Charles Berlitz (who popularized the Bermuda Triangle) tied the technology used in the Philadelphia Experiment (magnetic fields, space-time manipulation) to ancient, lost technologies of Atlantis. Furthermore, some psychic traditions (like Edgar Cayce's readings) claim that Atlantean technology caused the destruction of their continent, drawing a parallel to the disastrous space-time rift alleged in 1943. 4. The Statue of Liberty The Dedication: The Statue of Liberty was officially dedicated in New York on October 28, 1886. The Connection: Designed by Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi and championed by Gustave Eiffel (both prominent Freemasons), the statue represents Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom. Esoteric researchers view the dedication on October 28 as a deliberate choice to align America's ultimate symbol with the same date as Columbus's landing, anchoring a specific timeline matrix. 5. The Da Vinci Code Connection The Templar Lineage: Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code popularized the lore of the Knights Templar, the Holy Grail, and hidden sacred lineages. The Connection: Secret society lore often links Christopher Columbus to the Templars (pointing to the Templar crosses on his ship sails). Furthermore, the Priory of Sion mythos heavily utilizes sacred geometry and specific dates. October 28 acts as a "key" date where various global alignments—from the discovery of America to the anchoring of Masonic monuments like the Statue of Liberty—intersect. 6. The Flag of Israel Sacred Geometry: The Flag of Israel features the Hexagram (the Star of David / Seal of Solomon) between two horizontal blue stripes. The Connection: In Western occultism, the Seal of Solomon is the ultimate symbol of "As Above, So Below"—the merging of the spiritual and physical worlds. This geometric harmony is what ties all these events together: the date (October 28), the monuments (Statue of Liberty), and the alleged portal experiments (Philadelphia) are all claimed by alternative theorists to be calculated using the exact same hermetic and geometric principles represented by the hexagram.

Modo IA Todo Imágenes Vídeos Noticias Maps Shopping Libros Vuelos Finance 10 sitios The overarching conspiracy theory connecting Lorenzo Ricci, Tupper Saussy, John Carroll, Georgetown University, and Adam Weishaupt posits that the Society of Jesus orchestrated both the American Revolution and the creation of the Illuminati to secretly control the United States. This specific grand narrative was popularized by author F. Tupper Saussy in his 1999 book Rulers of Evil. The theory weaves a web of historical coincidences around the year 1776, proposing that the official "Suppression of the Jesuits" by the Pope was a tactical ruse rather than a genuine punishment. The core components of this conspiracy theory include: 1. The Ruse of the Jesuit Suppression (Lorenzo Ricci) The Claim: In 1773, Pope Clement XIV officially suppressed the Jesuit Order worldwide. According to Saussy, the Superior General of the Jesuits, Lorenzo Ricci, actually staged this suppression. Georgetown University +1 The Purpose: By pretending to be abolished and entering a "clandestine" state, the Jesuits allegedly deflected Protestant suspicion in England and the American colonies. This allowed them to operate in the shadows to dismantle the anti-Catholic British Empire using the American colonies. 2. The Creation of the Illuminati (Adam Weishaupt, 1776) The Claim: Adam Weishaupt, a former student of the Jesuits and a professor of Canon Law at the Jesuit-controlled University of Ingolstadt, founded the Bavarian Illuminati on May 1, 1776. The Connection: Conspiracy theorists argue that Weishaupt did not act alone; he was allegedly a front-man or agent for Lorenzo Ricci. The Illuminati structure was explicitly modeled after the rigid hierarchical discipline of the Jesuit Order. The theory claims the Illuminati was established as a secular front to carry out the geopolitical goals of the "hidden" Jesuits without implicating the Catholic Church. 3. The American Revolution and the Carroll Family (John Carroll) The Claim: John Carroll (a prominent Jesuit) and his cousin Charles Carroll (the only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence) were high-level operatives in this grand design. Georgetown University +1 The Connection: John Carroll accompanied Benjamin Franklin on a diplomatic mission to Canada in 1776 to secure support for the revolution. The theory alleges that the Carrolls used their vast wealth, Masonic connections, and diplomatic ties to manipulate the Founding Fathers into rebelling against Britain, effectively birthing a new nation designed from the ground up to be controlled by Rome. Georgetown University +2 4. Georgetown University and Washington D.C. as the Seat of Power The Claim: Founded by John Carroll in 1789 (the same year the U.S. Constitution took effect), Georgetown University is viewed in this theory as the ultimate command center. Wikipedia +2 The Architecture: Theorists point out that the land chosen for the nation's capital (the District of Columbia) was surrounded by land owned by prominent Catholic families like the Carrolls. Saussy noted that local property records from 1663 showed the land was once called "Rome". Georgetown was thus positioned on the hill overlooking the capital, symbolizing the Jesuit "oversight" of the United States government. Historical Context vs. The Legend In mainstream history, these events are understood as separate historical developments driven by independent motives: The Suppression was a result of European monarchs pressuring the Pope due to the Jesuits' growing political and economic power. John Carroll founded Georgetown because the American Revolution finally lifted the penal laws that prohibited Catholics from opening schools. Adam Weishaupt actually formed the Illuminati because he grew to detest the intense control the Jesuits held over his university, seeking to spread Enlightenment ideals to counter their influence.

Modo IA Todo Imágenes Vídeos Noticias Maps Shopping Libros Vuelos Finance 9 sitios There is no official historical or Masonic link connecting the Jewish fast of Tisha B'Av (9th of Av), Argentina’s Independence Day (July 9th), the Buenos Aires Obelisk, and The Da Vinci Code. These connections exist purely within the realm of speculative esotericism, internet conspiracy theories, and creative wordplay. Here is a breakdown of how these separate concepts are intertwined in alternative theories, analyzed through the lens of history and esoteric symbolism. 1. The 9 of Av (Tisha B'Av) vs. July 9th In speculative gematria and calendar syncretism, conspiracy theorists occasionally link these dates due to the identical numbers (9/9). Tisha B'Av (9th of Av): This is the most somber day in the Hebrew calendar, mourning the destruction of the First and Second Temples of Jerusalem. Because Masonic lore borrows heavily from the construction of King Solomon’s Temple, esoteric thinkers sometimes fixate on the 9th of Av. AMIA | Comunidad Judía +1 July 9th: This date marks Argentina's Declaration of Independence in 1816. While many Argentine founding fathers (like San Martín or Belgrano) belonged to prominent political lodges like the Logia Lautaro, the date was chosen for political reasons, not to align with a shifting lunar Jewish fast. 2. The Buenos Aires Obelisk and Freemasonry The Obelisk of Buenos Aires is frequently cited in esoteric urbanism. Wikipedia Masonic Imagery: In architectural esotericism, an obelisk represents a ray of the sun, the generative force, and the connection between the earthly and divine realms. Perfil +1 The "Masonic Triangle": The Obelisk sits on Avenida 9 de Julio. Urban myths claim that the layout of Buenos Aires avenues—pioneered by Mayor Torcuato de Alvear (a Mason)—forms geometry pointing to key government buildings, mimicking Masonic spatial planning seen in Washington D.C. or Paris. However, the Obelisk itself was designed in 1936 by modernist architect Alberto Prebisch to commemorate the city's 400th anniversary, not as an explicit Masonic temple. Diario El Día de La Plata +2 3. The Da Vinci Code Connection: The "A" and "V" Your mention of "the A and the V" points directly to the gender-essentialist geometry popularized by Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code: The Blade and the Chalice: In the novel, the upright triangle (▲ or A) represents the "Blade"—the masculine phallus, a symbol of fire and aggressive male energy. The inverted triangle (▼ or V) represents the "Chalice"—the feminine womb, the Holy Grail, and water. The Obelisk connection: In this specific symbolic framework, the Obelisk is the ultimate architectural "Blade" (A). The Linguistic Coincidence: Conspiracy theorists love to point out that the abbreviation for "Avenida" is Av., making the address of the Obelisk look like "Av. 9 de Julio." They merge the Hebrew month Av with the abbreviation Av., using the A and V letters as a visual shorthand for the union of the masculine blade (the Obelisk) and the feminine chalice (the wide avenue or surrounding valley). 4. The Key of David The Key of David is a biblical concept (Isaiah 22:22, Revelation 3:7) symbolizing absolute authority to "open what no one can shut." In esoteric traditions, it is sometimes conflated with the Hexagram (the Star of David, which is a interlocking combination of the A and V triangles). Conspiracists tie this back to the Obelisk by claiming such monuments act as literal or spiritual "keys" keeping cosmic currents locked into a city's grid. Summary of the Theory vs. Reality Element Real Historical Context Esoteric / Conspiracy Interpretation 9 of Av / July 9 Lunar Jewish fast / Solar Argentine independence day. A numerical sync (9/9) marking temple destruction vs. nation building. The Obelisk 1936 Civic monument by Alberto Prebisch. A phallic Masonic "Blade" (A) channeling solar energy. Av. 9 de Julio A massive infrastructure project named after a date. A deliberate play on the word "Av" and the A/V gender symbols. The Key of David A theological symbol of sovereign divine authority. The architectural layout acts as an occult key to power. Ultimately, while Freemasonry has heavily influenced the architecture and founding history of Buenos Aires, the specific bridge linking Tisha B'Av, The Da Vinci Code geometry, and July 9th is a modern, pop-culture tapestry woven out of coincidence and symbolic wordplay. If you are interested, we can look closer into the documented history of Masonic architects in Buenos Aires, or explore how Dan Brown's symbols map to actual classical architecture.
