The number pi

Especially in popular scientific literature appears occasionally on the statement that the builders were in the dimensions of the pyramid, the circle number π (pi) "encrypted". Split the double base side (230.37 m) by the amount (146.60 m) π (would give 3.14). However, it is likely that an integral relationship between the page length (440 royal cubits) the amount (280 royal cubits) = 11:7 was chosen by the builders and only chance is half of π. The deviation from 11:7 to π / 2 is only 0.04%. The statement that the construction of the building had lain with the intention of deliberately mathematical encryption, such as bring in π, it is not established yet.
The pyramid complex

The pyramid was surrounded by a high wall over 8 feet of limestone in the east and provided with the usual mortuary temple. This now completely destroyed mortuary temple was the only entrance to the building itself a causeway leading from here to the Valley Temple, the site could be localized only in recent years, but we know nothing about him.
