Graham Hancock – <strong>FINGERPRINTS</strong> <strong>OF</strong> <strong>THE</strong> <strong>GODS</strong><br />

its base, at 2932.8 feet, 14 is not much smaller than that of its Egyptian<br />

counterpart while its summit is considerably lower (approximately 233.5<br />

feet prior to Bartres’s, ‘restoration’ 15 ).<br />

The 2pi formula that worked at the Great Pyramid does not work with<br />

these measurements. A 4pi formula does. Thus if we take the height of<br />

the Pyramid of the Sun (233.5 feet) and multiply it by 4pi we once again<br />

obtain a very accurate read-out of the perimeter: 233.5 feet x 4 x 3.14 =<br />

2932.76 feet (a discrepancy of less than half an inch from the true figure<br />

of 2932.8 feet).<br />

This, surely, can no more be a coincidence than the pi relationship<br />

extrapolated from the dimensions of the Egyptian monument. Moreover,<br />

the very fact that both structures incorporate pi relationships (when none<br />

of the other pyramids on either side of the Atlantic does) strongly<br />

suggests not only the existence of advanced mathematical knowledge in<br />

antiquity but some sort of underlying common purpose.<br />

The height of the Pyramid of the Sun x 4pi = the perimeter of its<br />

base. The height of the Great Pyramid at Giza x 2pi = the perimeter of<br />

its base.<br />

As we have seen the desired height/perimeter ratio of the Great<br />
