Egypt Pyramid: Weight Conspiracy Theory!
And as these great old architects measured the earth, so they also weighed it. As nearly as can be computed, their pyramid is the even one thousand billionth part of the weight of this whole earth-ball of land and sea. The gravity of the entire mass of what they built needs only to be multiplied by 105X3to indicate the sum of the gravity of the entire mass of the globe we inhabit.
There has been much effort expended by modern science to find out the mean density or specific gravity of the earth, without exactly settling the problem. The best experiments make it between 5.316 and 6.565 times the weight of water at the medium temperature of 68° Fahrenheit. The Great Pyramid makes it 5.70, which is almost exactly the mean of the best five experiments ever made.
A further memorial of the same is furnished in the Coffer of the King's Chamber, in whose structure the same proportions of the pyramid itself reappear in another form. These experiments as given in " Johnson's New Universal Cyclopaedia" (Art. Density of the Earth), are the following:
- Colonel James's Observations with Arthur's Seat, . 6.316
- Prof. Airy's Mine Experiments, .... 6.565
- Cavendish Leaden Globe Experiment, . . . 5.480
- Keich's Experiments, 5.438
- Baily's Experiments, 5 660
- Mean of all the results 6.672
- Difference from pyramid, 028
- Pyramid expression, 5.700
It thus appears that the pyramid's figure for the earth's density is much nearer to the mean of the experiments than the experiments are to each other. Computing the earth's bulk at a mean gravity 5.7 times that of water, according to the calculation made by Mr. Wm. Petrie, of London, the figures stand thus :
- Pyramid's mass in tons, 5,272,600.
- Earth's mass in tons, 6,271,900,000,000,000,000,000.
The accurate calculation of such immense masses of matter must necessarily be very rough ; but the results come out evenly enough to show that 5. 70 is the proper figure for the pyramidic estimate of the mean density of the earth, and that the pyramid was meant to be of such weight that it should be to the whole weight of the earth as 1 to 106XS. internal capacity of that Coffer by the nicest possible computations is seventy-one thousand two hundred and fifty cubic pyramid or earth-commensurated inches. The only intelligible reason for that particular capacity is to be found in the combination of a capacity and weight measure standard, having reference to the size and gravity of the earth, with that gravity computed at 5.7. Even the long- unobserved little irregularities of that Coffer come in as a necessary modifying element to meet precisely the earth reference formula. On the pyramid system of fives, 503 earth-commensurated inches multiplied by the earth's specific gravity and divided by 10, represent with close exactness the Coffer's interior space.
To the reality of these earth references at the valuations given, this Coffer comes in as a seal, and at the same time furnishes a grand standard of united weight and capacity measure. At the rate of 5.7 for the mean density. of the earth, the Coffer's contents of water at 68° Fahrenheit would be equal to twelve thousand five hundred cubic inches of the body of the earth. Dividing this into two thousand five hundred equal parts for a small fraction in the dominant pyramid number we have an even result equal to five cubic inches of the earth's mean density, which would be the pyramid or earth-commensurated pound, which is, within a small fraction, the same as our common avoirdupois pound, equal in weight to a pint, 5 x 5.7 cubic inches of water at a temperature of 68° Fahrenheit.
