Evidence of Mathematical Constants
Again, there is enough evidence to prove that ancient Egyptians had foreknowledge of mathematical constants on late modern discoveries. If you subtract the length of the Great Pyramid from its height, the result you get is 314.16 – 100 times Pi. If you then add the two sides together in meters, the result also equals 100 times Phi. This is known as the Golden Number used in architecture, art, and theology.

This discovery is baffling because Pi was not established as a mathematical constant until 1793, centuries after ancient Egyptians had discovered it. It is important to note that ancient Egyptians used cubits to take measurements, and one cubit is equal to 0.536 meters. This means the circumference of a circle that has the diameter of a single cubit equals Pi. This is proof that ancient Egyptians were capable of and already doing complex mathematical calculations before we even conceived them.
