  "abstract": "<p><em>A mathematics course from the Zep Tepi era, where we plan and analyse a large building site, showing how the design mirrors the stars.</em></p>\n\n<p>A simple and elegant explanation of how Giza, with six main pyramids, was laid out, using &radic;2, &radic;3, &radic;5, &pi; and &phi;. The design incorporates the necessary elements for squaring the circle, area-wise. The design matches the heavens around 55.5k BCE. This could force a rethink of at least the history of mathematics, if not the broader human timeline. This effectively solves the puzzle of how Giza was laid out.</p>",

  "note": "Version 1.2.0:  Fixed some typos. Added new \u03c0 and e diagrams. Added formulas for relation between P1, P2 and P3 base sizes. Removed \"A map of Khufu?\" section, it is wrong and I have a better idea. Added alternate P4 P5 layout. Updated right side master plan. Integrated results from the Douglas Triangle. Added more \u03c0 ratios in site plan. Added figures index. Added tables index.",
