Throughout this entire work I have attempted to confer not simply the considerate, but essentially obligatory award to a few sources that highly influenced my work.
Whilst the entire concern has been engaged to acquire the acquiescence of those credited below, I apologise for those that I could not, via my neophyte manner, acquire contact
Without a shadow of doubt the significant impetus concerning my research being:
Worlds in Collision author: Immanuel Velikovsky, Abacus edition published in 1972 by Sphere Books Ltd. First published in Great Britain in 1950 by Victor Gollancz Ltd The veritable cornucopia with regard to ancient metrology, symbolic numbers, furthermore ancient cosmology wisdom and science of the ancient and traditional societies, furthermore an enormous influence on my work, likewise an utter necessity to those who desire to study these fields of research being:
The Dimensions of Paradise, author: John Michell, published 1988 by Thames and Hudson Ltd. London
As regards Plato, in the midst of numerous my favoured source with reference being Plato: Translated by Benjamin Jowett, reprinted by arrangement with Oxford University Press
An additional vital source of reference being: The Universal History of Numbers, author: Georges Ifrah, The Harvil Press London, translated from the French by: David Bellos, .F. Harding, Sophie Wood and Ian Monk
Another necessity with regard to mathematics being: The Man Who Loved Only Numbers, first published in the USA by Hyperion, first published in Great Britain by Fourth Estate Limited, author: Paul Hoffman 1998
As to the Great Pyramid of Giza, an essential, so I consider, book being:
Secrets of the Great Pyramid: author Peter Tompkins, with an appendix by Livio Catullo Stecchini, published in Penguin Books 1973
A favoured book of mine being: The Sirius Mystery author Robert Temple, published by Arrow in 1999, this first edition published in the United Kingdom by Century Random House UK. Limited.
Likewise, the essential: Pyramids and Temples of Gizeh: W. M .Flinders Petrie 1883 To those I may possibly have inadvertently overlooked, I can but proffer my inmost apology.
Likewise as mentioned within the introduction page of this web site, I cannot neglect the tremendous amount of time and effort that my immediate family, along with close friends exhausted via rummaging through my mature papers attempting to situate the same in a sense of order prepared for the very same individuals to reassign from paper to PC, I express gratitude to them all.
I shall not cause any preventable discomfiture via placing their names within a web site as this would be an intrusion into their confidentiality. They discern who they are; therefore I express my earnest appreciation pertaining to the painstaking labours undergone by all.
Nonetheless, despite my straightforward requirement to express my cordial appreciation to the above authors-researchers etc, it may be observed within this work the manner via which all the numbers interweave with the dimensions I consider to be intended for the Great Pyramid. It likewise is, via my usual awry modus operandi, a source {the Great Pyramid} via which I obtained numerous numbers, for example I examined Phi, {the Golden Ratio or whatever terminology be deemed correct} Phi is formed the straightforward approach thus: the square root of 5 + 1 ÷ 2
Whilst I experimented, not via the customary methods of division, but via multiplication, I unearthed the following, mayhap asinine observations
Phi being: 1.618033988749… {Abridged} observe that which the multiplication process procures
{A} 1 x 6 x 1 x 8 x 3 = 144 a fine commencement, subsequently 144 x 3 x 9 x 8 x 8 = 248832, at this time it will most undoubtedly not require the proverbial rocket scientist to perceive a reasonable Earth mean circumference of 24883.2 albeit tenfold, certainly it corresponds to that of John Michell, nonetheless I have not, to date, observed 24883.2 procured via my technique.
