Robert Bauval: Many researchers, mostly mathematical enthusiasts or architects who are very interested in the Great Pyramid and its geometry, have stated that this monument contains evidence that ancient builders knew the modern unit of length (meter) as well as many general mathematical constants such as for example, Pi (π = 3,142), as well as a large number of irrational numbers, such as Euler's number or the Golden Section, and some complete algorithms with prime numbers and averages, which they used in designing its construction. Some of these researchers also argue that the Great Pyramid includes a geographical knowledge of the dimensions and curvatures of the Earth expressed in a 360 ° system and, even more controversially, the speed of light.

The egyptology has been common since at least the end of 19. century to designate these researchers pyramidites and their discovery to be considered wild speculation, which is not credible enough for further exploration. Although it is true that most of these researchers deserve this kind of ridicule and distancing, there are few who deserve closer attention, not only because of their high level of research but also because of their findings, which, if examined without the prejudices and antipathy of Egyptologists, move the boundary of chance almost to the point of break.

Let's take it from a slightly more personal point of view. When I presented 1994 in February Orion correlation theory (Orion correlation theory (OCT)) in the book and in the BBC documentary, I myself was also very quickly labeled a "pyramidiot" by the Egyptological community. Their contemptuous verbal attacks persisted for many years, despite the fact that I not only followed the correct scientific method and published my Orion correlation theory in 1989 in an accredited magazine Egyptological journal, and that the OCT received, albeit with caution, support from various prominent and respected scientists such as the Egyptian Sir IES Edwards, experienced astronomers such as Dr. Mary Bruck and Dr. Archibald Roy, senior engineers such as Prof. Jean Kerisel, and even world-renowned physicists such as Dr. Michio Kaku.

Only recently, beginning of the year 2016, Department of Physics and Mathematics at University of Salent in Italy, published the study in which she was Orion correlation theory subjected to thorough quantitative and statistical tests, and it was accepted that The OCT can not be falsified. This does not, however, mean that the OCT has been definitively proven and accepted as valid, but it means that it has fallen into a scientific test of falsification, and that it is worthy of genuine investigation, even despite the Egyptian prejudices against it.
