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.
His conclusion was that the architect of the Great Pyramid was not an Egyptian, either by race or religion. He believed it would be found, eventually, that the measurements and contours of the Pyramid passage system, as its chambers, were intended to indicate a prophetic and historical record, especially in relationship to Biblical revelation.
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 research began to snow ball into a belief that the Great Pyramid was more than just an ancient tomb of the pharaoh Khufu. He believed that the astounding mathematics and measurements that were ensconced into the Great Pyramid could not have been integrated into stone by men of that day.
It was then the mechanical engineer Flinders Petrie who set out to measure the Great Pyramid to either substantiate or refute the work of Smyth and Taylor. His tools of measurement allowed him to measure correctly within 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.
