For those who have read my article 23.5 Degrees, here is an exclusive which reveals what the references to the angle of 23.5º – also 52º, 6.5º and 30º in various paintings and other sources (mostly from the 17th century) are leading us to. I discovered this information in 2002 by first deciphering encoded information in the paintings of Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) and other artists from the same period. Yes, several paintings from the 17th century contain the same information you see presented here for the first time in the following diagrams, and its all really very simple and easy to grasp. (How I deciphered the code in the paintings will be revealed in my book Axis of God).
As many of us will know, the Great Pyramid sits on the 30th parallel – almost 30 degrees north from the equator. It is actually 29º 58’ 51” N – being 2,125 metres short of exactly 30 degrees north latitude.
Below is a diagram of the Great Pyramid in cross-section looking from the east towards the west.

Below is a typical diagram of the earth as we would find in most scientific texts books. I have added the Great Pyramid’s location on the earth as indicated.
Figure 2: The Great Pyramid’s Location on the Earth
As we can see, the Great Pyramid is almost 30 degrees north from the equatorial plane. But as the earth rotates on its tilted axis the Great Pyramid moves between 36.5 degrees from the north pole of the ecliptic and 53.5º from the ecliptic plane – to 60º from the north pole of the ecliptic and 6.5º from the ecliptic plane.
Let’s now rotate the above diagram to the right by 90 degrees . . .
Figure 3: The same diagram rotated 90 degrees.
We will now superimpose the above diagram over the cross-sectioned plan of the Great Pyramid, looking towards the west, and all we have to do is enlarge it to fit.
Figure 4: The Superimposition of both Diagrams by centering everything on the King's Chamber. . . a perfect match
Now we know why the King’s Chamber is offset from the apex by almost 6.5 degrees.
The capstone or even the tip of the capstone is a pyramidion - the Great Pyramid in miniature - and although the capstone is missing from the Great Pyramid, nevertheless, the apex would be pointing to the Great Pyramid’s location on the earth when it is at its closest point to the ecliptic plane during the earth’s daily rotation – and so THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA IS POINTING TO ITSELF ON THE EARTH!
As we can see the two diagrams fit perfectly – confirmed by the location of the Great Pyramid on the earth and this reveals a fact about the Great Pyramid that we have all overlooked until now.
In more precise figures, the measurements of the Great Pyramid give 23.6 degrees for the inclination of the axis and 6.4 degrees for the distance between the Great Pyramid and the ecliptic plane. What I present here has been simplified so that the information can be grasped immediately by the reader. However there are other factors related to this encoded information which are far more complex and detailed and of course what we see raises many questions and these will be presented in my book Axis of God.
It is a simple fact that information about the obliquity of the earth is 'there' within the geometrical structure of the Great Pyramid and this is what I am concentrating on in this brief presentation. Furthermore it should be noted that what you see in these diagrams was known thoughout history by a certain number of people 'in the know' who had encoded this information in various sources - which of course is how I came to this discovery in the first place.
The pyramid really is a miniature model of the northern hemisphere of the earth – and this has already been acknowledged by many researchers. However, it must now be acknowledged that the GP is also a model of the whole earth in miniature as shown in figure 4 – not just the northern hemisphere – and contains detailed knowledge regarding the geophysical position of our planet.
As everything is centered on the King’s Chamber, which is offset from the centre, it’s the only way the radius of the earth can be fitted to the pyramid.
One would indeed be perplexed that no-one has stumbled onto this and ever since people have been examining the Great Pyramid – which now extends through many centuries. One can try searching the Internet and try looking through some well-researched books on the subject, however one will find nothing that compares to this hidden design; which means that apart from the true initiates who have preserved and safeguarded this information since recorded history – no one – including the Egyptologists – are actually aware of this about the Great Pyramid – i.e., that symbolically, the ecliptic plane, the earth’s equator and polar-axis all intersect the King’s Chamber, and that when both a cross-sectioned diagram of the Great Pyramid and a diagram of the inclined Earth in its orbit are superimposed together, the apex of the Great Pyramid pokes up through the surface of the earth exactly at the same point where the Great Pyramid is located!
I could draw the above on a simple beermat to reveal and explain it and it would be understood straight away. This seems rather absurd when I think of the incredible amount of mental and physical energy that thousands of people over hundreds of years have been spent in trying to figure out this ancient conundrum in stone.
When all is said and done, the real meaning here is that THE KING’S CHAMBER REPRESENTS THE CORE-CENTER OF THE EARTH – and for more reasons than one, as both the King’s Chamber and the location of the Great Pyramid in its design, acts as the central reference point for other locations on the earth.
We can see then why the King’s Chamber would be an important room in this structure, for as one climbs towards it from the entrance – going up through the ascending passage and then the Grand Gallery – one is making a symbolic journey to the center of the earth . . . the centre of reality and the centre of the collective consciousness.
UPDATE!
29th Aug 2008.
Take a scale drawing of the Great Pyramid in E-W cross section.
Below is my own scale drawing based on Petrie's measurements. The shafts exiting the King and Queen chambers are based on Rudolph Gattenbrink's angles.
First of all, plot a line beginning from the south-corner edge (bottom left corner) and extend it through the centre of the King's Chamber. You will find that the angle is very close to 23.5 degrees (The exact angle is 23.6, but we will look at this later).
Then plot a line beginning from the south-corner edge again, but this time extend it through the centre of the Queen's Chamber. You will find that the angle is very close to 11.75 degrees. (the exact angle is 11.8 but again we will look at this later)
Now plot a line from the north corner edge and again extend it through the centre of the Queen's Chamber. You will find that the angle is again very close to 11.75 degrees because the Queen's Chamber is positioned on the centerline of the Great Pyramid.
23.5 degrees divided by 2 = 11.75 degrees
What are the odds against the King’s Chamber being at the angle of 23.5 degrees from the south corner edge, and the Queen’s Chamber being at half this angle - 11.75 degrees - from both corners each adding up to the same angle – i.e., 23.5 degrees?
See diagram below:
According to Scott Creighton's findings, the number of course layers also reflect the angle values that until now were hiding within the geometry of the Great Pyramid.
1) There are 23.5 course levels from the base of the Great Pyramid to the floor of the Queen's Chamber.
2) There are 50 course levels from the base to the floor of the King's Chamber - meaning that from the floor of the Queen's Chamber to the floor of the King's Chamber there are 26.5 levels. This number of levels reflects the 26.5 degree angles of both the Descending and Ascending passages - as well as the angle of the Grand Gallery.
3. The King and Queen chambers are both centered on a 26.5 degree angle.
4. The Entrance at the core-masonry face, begins on the 17th Course. This still has to be checked, but if so then the Entrance divides the 23.5 course levels from the base to the floor of the Queen's Chamber, between 17 and 6.5.
I would ask that you check this for yourselves using a scale diagram of the GP. But before or as you do this, take note of the following:
The above drawing shows the angles as 23.5 degrees, 11.75 degrees and 6.5 degrees, when really the precise values reflect a 0.5 to 0.10 degrees difference - i.e., 23.6 degrees, 11.8 degrees and 6.4 degrees.
The reason why these angles in the GP are 23.6 degrees, 11.8 degrees and 6.4 degrees instead of 23.5 degrees, 11.75 degrees and 6.5 degrees, is that these more precise angles fit exactly with the calculations based on the overall size of the GP in “feet!” . . . yes feet.
Taking the overall dimensions of the GP - i.e., 481 ft and 756 ft, we then convert these into decimal units. We then divide the values 481 and 756 using the binary system – i.e., 16, 32, 64.
481 divided by 16 = 30.0625
756 divided by 32 = 23.625
756 divided by 64 = 11.8125
The resulting numbers are then converted into angles, which appears ridiculous I know, but for some reason it works.
If you have read my article, The Pyramid Code, then you would know that if we turn the 756-related values into angles then we find the horizontal locations of the King and Queen chambers beginning from the south-corner edge.
Ok that takes care of the horizontal positioning.
Now take note: 30.0625 – 23.625 = 6.4375.
If we now plot the angle of 6.4375 beginning from the apex and extend it inward towards the south or left of the drawing, we find the centre of the King’s Chamber on the vertical.
But furthermore, rounding off these values to 30, 23.5 and 6.5 are significant, in that they can only be related to the obliquity of the axis and the GP’s position on the earth in relation to this.
The GP is situated 30 degrees North of the Equator.
The GP is so situated that it comes as close as 6.5 degrees from the Ecliptic as the earth turns.
30 - 6.5 = 23.5 . . . the same values taken from the overall dimension of the GP when we divide using the binary system.
