Follow these instructions carefully:
Draw two parallel straight lines vertically down a sheet of paper, about
seven inches long and a bit under three inches apart. Draw a third line,
also vertical, also parallel and of equal length, exactly mid-way between
the first two. Write the letter ‘S’—for ‘South’—at the top end of your
diagram (the end farthest away from you), and the letter ‘N’ for ‘North’ at
the bottom end. Add the letters ‘E’ for ‘East’ and ‘W for ‘West’ in their
appropriate positions at either side of the diagram, to your left for East
and to your right for West.
What you are looking at are the outlines of a geometrical map of Egypt
incorporating a perspective very different from our own (where ‘North’ is
always equated with ‘Up’). This map where ‘Up’ is ‘South’ seems to have
been worked out an enormously long time ago by cartographers with a
scientific understanding of the shape and size of our planet.
To complete the map you should now mark a dot on the central of the
three parallel lines about an inch to the south of (‘up’ from) the northern
end of the diagram. Then draw two more lines diagonally down from this
point, respectively to the north-east and north-west, until they reach the
northern ends of the two outermost parallel lines. Finally link those
parallel lines directly with horizontal lines running east to west at the
northern and southern ends of the diagram.
The shape produced is a meridional rectangle (oriented north-south).
This rectangle is seven inches long by just under three inches wide and
has a triangle demarcated at its northern (lower) end. The triangle
represents the Nile Delta and the dot at the apex of the triangle
represents the apex of the Delta—a point on the ground at 30° 06’ north
and 31° 14’ east, very close to the location of the Great Pyramid.
