Introduction

It is hard to believe that with the precision with which the Egyptians built this massive pyramid that there was not an intention to build it based on some important specific design.
The empirical evidence of the surveyed dimensions reveals the presence of the golden ratio, and by implication, the pi ratio. This would also suggest that the ancient Egyptians intentionally built the Great Pyramid to exhibit the mathematical concepts of either Φ or π, or perhaps to reflect both. Yet, there doesn’t seem to be any good reason to conclude that it was, unless to demonstrate to the future an advanced mathematical knowledge.
