Sanders, Head Oriental Institute Computer Laboratory Peggy M. Sanders Archaeological Graphic Services The Oriental Institute established a Computer Laboratory in July, 1990, to facilitate and encourage the use of computer technology by the faculty and staff in their analysis of the ancient Near East. The Laboratory provides faculty and staff with technical assistance in the selection, development, and operation of specific computer applications, including word processing, database management, and graphics. Additionally, the Laboratory contains some technologically advanced equipment. This equipment allows the computer laboratory staff to work closely with Oriental Institute archaeological expeditions to produce sophisticated computer models and graphic images of their sites. Giza Plateau Computer Model In the spring of 1991 public television station WGBH, in Boston, contacted Professor Mark Lehner, the Oriental Institute's Egyptian archaeologist, with the idea for a show to be broadcast in their NOVA series, investigating the construction of the Giza pyramid complex. One part of the show was to be an animated "fly-over" of the Giza Plateau as it might have looked at the time the pyramids were being constructed. Space Shuttle Photograph Of Giza Area To accomplish this a computer model of the entire plateau and its architectural components had to be created from

Interview with Mark Lehner, Archaeologist, Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, and Harvard Semitic Museum NOVA: Can you briefly tell us about your history at Giza and tell us about some of the work you've done there? In essence, why Giza? LEHNER: Wow, do you want the real answer or the abridged version? I first went to Egypt in 1972 as a tourist. And then I went back in 1973, the following year as a year abroad student at the American University in Cairo. And it's no secret that when I went I myself was imbued with the ideas of lost civilizations and inspired by a man named Edgar Cayce. So I was in fact, myself, looking for the lost civilization and something called the Hall of Records. Hear Lehner via RealAudio: dialup broadband Get RealAudio plugin Or at least those ideas were on my mind. To make a long story short, those ideas didn't stand up against bedrock reality. And so then I was still fascinated by these pyramids and the Sphinx. Then I asked the question, well, what is the real story? What is the story that the site itself has to tell. And so that's what sustained me and kept me out there in a kind of exploratory mode. NOVA: Why do we still have only limited knowledge about Giza and the construction of the pyramids there? And how do we know what we know about Giza?

The angle of inclination of the triangular faces is about 51.5 degrees. The square of its height equals the area of each triangular face, as determined by Herodotus in 450 B. C. The base of the pyramid covers about 13 acres. The other two pyramids in the famous trio are Khafre, 704 feet (214.5 meters) square, 471 feet (143.5 meters) high, with a face inclination of 53.2 degrees, and Menkaure, 345.5 feet (110 meters) square, 216 feet (68.8 meters) high, with a face inclination of 51.3 degrees (or possibly 330ft wide and 206 ft high (105m x 65.5m)).

Spectacular in concept and form, they provide a startling reminder of the audacious ability of modern architects to invigorate and re-circulate traditional architectural forms...The main Pyramid is basically a complex inter-linked steel structure sheathed in reflective glass. In fact it is an entrance doorway providing a long-overdue entrance portico to the main galleries of the Louvre. As one descends into the interior entrance foyer, the dramatic nature of the intervention becomes apparent. The main Pyramid, which certainly disturbs the balance of the old Louvre courtyard, is countered by two smaller pyramids, which provide further light and ventilation to the subterranean spaces."

Solutions to the Great Pyramid's Mysteries Why did the architect select the values he did for the Perimeter Length and Apex Height What is the meaning of the dimensions and proportions of the King's Chamber and its Granite Coffer and the Queen's Chamber and its Niche What did the Granite Coffer originally contain? For what purpose was the Niche constructed? Why are the pyramid's Internal Passages and Air Shafts elevated at such precise angles and directed precisely north and south? What was the purpose of the air shafts, and do their precise elevations and orientations associate them in some way with the internal passages? Could the pyramid builders have used the Granite Ball and Iron Plate as construction tools in some manner? The answers to these questions and many more are proudly presented in: The Key to the Great Pyramid A Rational Solution to Mankind's Most Ancient Mystery by Keith P. Johnson The Key to the Great Pyramid presents a bold challenge to the academically accepted view of the Great Pyramid as merely a tomb for Cheops and nothing more. From the introduction to The Key to the Great Pyramid In the course of our inquiry, we shall develop a compelling new scientific theory regarding the architectural design for the Great Pyramid of Giza. We shall demonstrate how the architect of the Great Pyramid actually "encoded" the most fundamental elements of his knowledge of astronomy, geodesy, physics, horology, mathematics, geometry, and optics into the very architecture of his civilization's great stone monument.
