Great Pyramid at the base is 365.2422 Hebrew cubits, the exact number of days in the solar year
Wow! How accurate the stones were made. Accuracy about 1/100 of an inch!
Come on. 4000 years ago the people weren't that dumb. Just because some people today are not able to imagine how they did it that doesn't means the ancient Egyptians were not able to do it.

Great Pyramid at the base is 365.2422 Hebrew cubits, the exact number of days in the solar year As was pointed out in another thread, this guy claims the British version of the "sacred Hebrew cubit" is something like 26 inches, which no serious scholar agrres with. So the figure of 365 cubits above is NONSENSE!
"Let's see, we'll say the cubit is 26 inches, not 17 or 20, so gullible rubes will get excited over some phony "magical" ratio. Great for book sales..."

The people who are amazed by the pyramids follow a book that says Pi=3.

If you ask me I think people from that time were smarter than people of today.
Years ago, they uncovered a battery. It wasn't exactly like todays battery but it was clear enough that is what it was used for. Even with technology of today, we couldn't duplicate the precision of the pyramids.

If you are at all honest with yourself and serious about discerning truth from fiction:
1. Find out for yourself what the definition of a cubit is.
2. Ask yourself how accurately a cubit is defined, i.e., +/- 5% or what ever.
3. Contemplate for a few minutes the number of significant digits in the author's claim, "365.2422".
Ask yourself, is this author an honest person?
