The Pyramid Clock … In Peter Lemesurier’s book, ‘The Great Pyramid decoded’ is a cross section of the Grand gallery. Within the section Lemesurier has sketched the ‘Infant Soul’- of no great interest – what was of interest were the nibs, either side of the corbelled section, about halfway up, which appeared as pivotal points. As an exercise I calculated the areas of the section above and below those points … 2/5ths and 3/5ths. Next I looked at the gallery roof that has a ‘ratchet’ slab form of construction – 40 slabs in all, giving 39 ratchets. In the floor ramps of the gallery are 27 slots either side, giving 26 spaces – by ratio ratchets to slots are 3 to 2, with a common denominator of 13. The slope of the gallery is 26 degrees, which I have assumed equates with Precession of the Equinoxes (26000 yrs). It was not difficult to make a ‘working’ model of the clock that gives 13 ‘ticks’ (half Precession) from gallery top to bottom. But just as there was never going to be anything (and yet everything) behind Gantenbrink’s Door, no clock was ever in the gallery – just the engineering features.
There are nine corbelled areas in the gallery section and the height of the gallery when expressed, as a Radius is proportional to the length of the gallery when calculated as a Circumference.

:lol: I've looked for quite awhile for an advanced mechanical Time-Keeping piece that the Egyptians might of had the only one I found was a water-clock. I should have known :lol:
Good work Geoffrey.
