I guess it's TAG, I'm "IT". Lets see. Poetic! I once studied under a professor of mathematics who ... tried to persuade his students that abstract geometry was historically prior to its practical applications, and that the pyramids and buildings of ancient Egypt "proved" that their architects were highly sophisticated mathematicians. But the first gardener in history to lay out a perfect ellipse with three stakes and a length of string certainly held no degree in the theory of cones! Nor did Egyptian architects have anything more than simple devices - "tricks", "knacks" and methods of an entirely empirical kind, no doubt discovered by trial and error - for laying out their ground plans. One has to make decisions as to whether the numerical coincidences are really coincidences, or whether the builders of the pyramids designed them with certain numerical ratios in mind. Let us look at just one such coincidence involving the golden number. The golden number is (1+sqrt5)/2 = 1.618033989 and an angle based on this will have size arcsec(1.618033989) = 51degrees 50'. Now the sides of the Great Pyramid rise at an angle of 51degrees 52'. Is this a coincidence? Hmmmm!
What did ya'll expect; roses are red and violets are blue? We were both in THAT class, and I fell asleep too. Happy New Year, Preston

Rog, I think he is saying that King Tut went to Radio Shack and bought one of those scientific/graphic calculators.
