Matt reads the Great Pyramid of Giza as a 1 to 43,200 scale model of the northern half of the Earth. In his view, the ratio reflects the relationship between the pole and the northern hemisphere, meaning its builders understood the polar radius of the planet. He sees 2.5 million stone blocks set in precise cardinal alignment to form a miniature Earth with mathematical perfection. Viewed at that scale, Matt argues, a deeper relationship between Earth, the solar system and the universe starts to come into focus.
