Sefi Levi, an independent researcher, proposes a new theory about the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. Levi believes the pyramid’s dimensions, its height, base, angles, and proportions, form a numerical code containing ancient Egyptian knowledge of mathematics, astronomy, and time.

He started with measurements of the pyramid and used calculations with fractions known to ancient Egyptian scribes.

Levi found numbers close to astronomical cycles, including one linked to the moon’s proximity to Earth and another connected to the movement of the sun and visible planets, as well as mathematical ratios like pi and the golden ratio. However, Levi already knew the astronomical numbers he was seeking before making comparisons, raising the possibility of finding numerical coincidences. To test this, Levi created 100,000 virtual pyramids with different dimensions and applied the same calculations.

Approximately 2.4 percent of these virtual pyramids showed as many or more matches than the Great Pyramid. Levi sees this as evidence against chance, though the experiment has not been independently verified and his paper has not undergone peer review.

He also connects the pyramid to the Egyptian creation myth of the “primeval mound” and suggests a possible distant link to the “Eye of the Sahara” structure in Mauritania, a West African country, hypothesizing that ancient groups migrated eastward toward the Nile as the Sahara dried. There is no archaeological evidence to support this migration or connect the Mauritanian site to Giza.
