A new theory suggests that the Great Pyramid of Giza might contain encoded astronomical and mathematical knowledge through its design and dimensions. Sefy Levy, an independent researcher, has proposed this idea in a paper titled "The Pyramid as Memory Hypothesis." According to Levy, the pyramid’s height, base, sloping sides, and overall shape may reflect the Egyptian understanding of time, celestial cycles, and mathematical constants. The paper, published in August, argues that the pyramid's dimensions were intentionally designed to preserve ancient knowledge about mathematics and the cosmos. Levy’s research involved analyzing key measurements of the Great Pyramid and applying fractions used by ancient Egyptians. One calculation results in the number 27.5, which closely matches the 27.55-day cycle of the Moon at its closest point to Earth. Another calculation, yielding the number 70, may correspond to the time between the heliacal rising and setting of Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky. Levy also notes that the proportions of the pyramid generate numbers similar to pi and the golden ratio—both mathematical constants with historical significance. However, these findings have not yet undergone peer review, a crucial step in validating scientific research. Levy's broader theory connects the pyramids to the Heliopolitan creation theory, an ancient Egyptian belief that the world once existed in a dark ocean called Nun. According to this myth, the Earth was formed when a sacred hill of dry land, known as the "benben," emerged from the ocean. From this hill, the creator god Atum was born. Levy suggests that the pyramids might symbolically recreate the benben or be modeled after the Eye of the Sahara, a massive landform in Mauritania that may have been inhabited before the region dried out, leading people to migrate east toward the Nile. This speculation comes after recent research published in the journal Nature proposed that the Great Pyramid—also known as the Pyramid of Khufu—could have been built using a multi-channel system of ramps integrated into the pyramid’s structure. The study suggests that a spiral ramp system was used, with each new layer of the pyramid being added as the ramp was concealed and covered. This method may have made the construction more efficient and practical for the ancient builders.
