After 4,500 years: Israeli researcher claims to have cracked the secret of the pyramid

An Israeli researcher, Spi Levy, claims that the Great Pyramid of Giza was not intended for burial, but was built as a giant stone calculator preserving astronomical knowledge. Levy used ancient Egyptian measurements and showed a precise match to the lunar cycle (27.5 days) and the star Sirius (70 days). A computer test of 100,000 random pyramids showed that only 2.4% achieve a similar match. Traditional researchers remain skeptical due to the lack of written documentation.

Spi Levy, an independent researcher from Israel, claims that the Great Pyramid of Giza was not built as a tomb for a pharaoh, but as a giant stone calculator designed to preserve astronomical knowledge. The claim is based on the fact that the 'King's Chamber' contains an empty granite sarcophagus with no evidence of a body, contrary to conventional archaeological expectations. Levy used ancient Egyptian measurements, not modern units, and calculated the height-to-base ratios of the pyramid. The results showed a precise match to the lunar cycle (27.5 days) and the number of days the star Sirius disappears behind sunlight (70 days) – a figure that formed the basis of the Egyptian calendar. To rule out coincidence, a computer simulation tested 100,000 pyramids with random dimensions; only 2.4% achieved a similar match to natural phenomena. Despite the excitement, traditional Egyptologists remain skeptical, noting that no ancient document has been found confirming that the pyramids were intended to encode astronomical information, and that the pyramid is located in a royal cemetery dedicated to the dead.
