John Taylor, an amateur astronomer, London publisher and mathematician began a study in order to analyze the measurements of the Great Pyramid. He wanted to understand the Great Pyramid from a mathematician's 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. Then came Scottish Astronomy professor Piazzi Smyth, to lift the investigation and study of the Great Pyramid into the realm of applied science. Smyth had studied Taylor's findings and decided that the only way to confirm or refute Taylor's theories would be to go to Egypt and measure. 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. The astounding volume of knowledge of mathematics, science, astronomy, geography, and physics contained in stone would have been impossible for the pharaohs of that day to have known. He concluded that while the world believed the Great Pyramid was considered a tomb, he believed it had different purpose. Then the mechanical engineer Flanders Petrie set out to measure the Great Pyramid. His plan was to either negate or substantiate the work of Taylor and Smyth. His tools for measurement were superior with 1/1000 of an inch. In the beginning Petrie actually belittled Smyths basic contentions about the perimeter of the pyramid which incorporated the length of the solar year. Nevertheless it was Petrie who discovered a hallowing of the core masonry. His discovery of this facet actually led to a confirming Smyth's conclusions concerning the astronomical features of the Great Pyramid.
