John Taylor, a London publisher, gifted mathematician and amateur astronomer, began a study of the measurements of the Great Pyramid in order to analyze the results from a mathematician's 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.

Later, a Scottish Astronomer named Piazzi Smyth brought the discipline of applied science to bear on the study of the Great Pyramid. Following in the footsteps of Taylor Smyth, he believed the only way to prove or disprove Taylor theories was to go to Egypt and do his own measurements.

Piazza's work was published and his critics found his research intoxicating. Smyth summed up his findings by noting that the Great Pyramid revealed a most surprisingly accurate knowledge of high astronomical and geographical physics.

Smyth's work began to stimulate a growing belief that the ancient pillar of stone had about it something more than a mere tomb for a rich and ambitious Pharaoh. Something infinitely more than was ever in the power of the Egyptians to originate, or even to understand.

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.
