This is an earlier approach than that eventually chosen in Sacred Number.
Scaling the Great Pyramid of Giza
When a monument is to have a dimensional relationship to the Earth, the most important decision is what scale to use.
The reader should be familiar with the question of scale when using maps. Any map has a scaling factor such as 1 in 50,000. This means that one inch on such a map corresponds with 50,000 inches in the real world, i.e. one inch on the map is actually 50,000/ (12 x 5280) miles or 0.7914 miles in length. Older British maps were 1 inch to one mile or half mile.
In the Great Pyramid, the scaling was chosen so that 5 feet in the monument would equal 12 Geodetic Units of 24/7 miles (see later), or 36 royal miles where a royal mile is 8/7 miles. At this scale, the height of the pyramid without its cap stone would be exactly 1/11 of a mile, a length that would encode the height of the pole within the monument which is 3456 royal miles long.
The Geodetic Unit was defined by John Michell in the context of the pole of the Earth seen as 1152 units, and here we see the interplay of 1152 and 440, the other way to divide up the Pole.
This type of matrix diagram was used heavily in Matrix of Creation but is unfamiliar though very rich in what it can reveal through symmetry, in this case the parallelism of the monument with the Pole. The unit 2.618 GU, a fibonacci "phi squared" of 144/55, is equivalent to the type of foot, Sumerian, used in the monument. This is noteworthy but again of advanced interest in seeing the full meaning of the metrology.
1/11th of a mile is significant because the mile of 5280 feet has the formula 25 x 3 x 5 x 11 feet and hence the prime number 11 is being removed by the monument:
Remembering that the ancient metrological system was based around rational fractions of a foot, some kind of foot would need to be used in any monument to best carry the relationship to the Earth. In this case, the Sumerian foot can be seen to define the chosen scaling. It needs to have Eleven in its denominator in order to harmonise with the use of Miles since a mile is 25.3.5.11 feet long, making 1/11 of a mile 25.3.5 or 480 feet long, the polar height of the pyramid.
