A London publisher named John Taylor also a gifted mathematician desiring to analyze the pyramids astronomical elements. He studied it's measurements being seriously interested in the results from a mathematicians point of view.

Taylor concluded, that the builder of the Great Pyramid could not have been from Egyptian ancestry in either religion or race. After is research he believed that one day there would come a time when the measurements and contours of the inner portions of the Pyramid would be linked with history and especially in the relationship with Biblical prophecy.

Then came Scottish Astronomy professor Piazzi Smyth, to lift the investigation and study of the Great Pyramid into the realm of applied science. Smyth had studied Taylor's findings and decided that the only way to confirm or refute Taylor's theories would be to go to Egypt and measure.

The results of his work was published and highly regarded. Smyth summed up his investigation: "The Great Pyramid revealed a most surprisingly accurate knowledge of high astronomical and geographical physics..."

The astounding volume of knowledge of mathematics, science, astronomy, geography, and physics contained in stone would have been impossible for the pharaohs of that day to have known. He concluded that while the world believed the Great Pyramid was considered a tomb, he believed it had different purpose.

Flanders Pertrie, a mechanical engineer, was the next in line to try to either substantiate or refute the work of Taylor, and Piazza Smyth. His approach was with superior measuring instruments allowed him to measure to 1/1000 of an inch.

Petrie at first took offense at the basic contentions of Smyth, that the Great Pyramid had incorporated a 365 day solar year into perimeter. Yet, ironically it was Petrie's meticulous careful measurements, wherein he had observed a hallowing of the core masonry on each side that led to a confirming of Smyths' conclusions concerning the astronomical features built into the Great Pyramid.
