New study reveals supposed astronomical purpose of the Great Pyramid of Giza

One of the most famous monuments on the planet is the Great Pyramid of Giza, which at the same time is one of the most mysterious. Now, a new study published by an independent archaeologist claims to have found the key that deciphers the purpose of such an impressive building.

The author of the study is Sefy Levy, who maintains that the pyramid is "an architectural codification of a cosmological system." "The pyramid was not built to last forever because it contained something valuable, it was built to last forever because it was something valuable."

"The pyramid is not a container of knowledge. It is knowledge itself, made of stone," insists Levy, who examined the pyramid's key measurements and divided them using fractions used by ancient Egyptian scribes.

According to the article, the answers repeatedly approximate important numbers in mathematics and astronomy. A simple calculation of the monument's measurements almost coincides with the interval of approximately 27.55 days between successive lunar perigees, when the Moon reaches its closest point to Earth.

Levy said other calculations approximate the repeating cycles of planets such as Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and Mars as they move through Earth's sky. The author also argues in his article that the proportions of the pyramid produce figures that resemble pi and the golden ratio.
