Oh well there's pyramidology. Dennis Scott:
Pyramid-? Elspeth Honey:
Ology. Dennis Scott:
Pyramidology. Elspeth Honey:
That's the science of the Great Pyramid. My father made it up too, the game I mean, here it is, excuse me. It was built in the year 3,234 B.C., it's very scientific, It was built in direct relationship to the stars, so it has an astronomical significance. It's the only known architectural example of squaring the circle. That is the area of the base is directly equal to that of a circle, but the height of the structure of its radius. It has the most wonderful maximal

And it's very scientific
00:00:21.729 --> 00:00:24.148
It was built in direct relationship to the stars
00:00:24.019 --> 00:00:26.999
so it has an astronomical significance
00:00:26.567 --> 00:00:29.987
It's the only known architectural example of squaring the circle
00:00:30.002 --> 00:00:33.949
That is the area of the base is directly equal to that of a circle
00:00:33.991 --> 00:00:36.997
with the height of the structure as its radius
00:00:36.285 --> 00:00:38.829
It has the most wonderful maths in it
