Lee, a height of 200 royal cubits (rc) is both confirmed
by the measured height and by the pleasing numbers: base
of the Red Pyramid 420 rc, height 200 rc, slope 290 rc,
diagonal of the base practically 594 rc, edge practically
358 rc, radius of the imaginary sphere inside the pyramid,
symbol of the sun within the primeval hill, exactly 84 rc.
Modul for calculating and building pyramid and ramps:
10 by 10 by 10 rc, diagonal of a face practically 396
fingers, diagonal of the volume practically 485 fingers.
Length of pyramid 42 moduls, height 20 moduls. Four
spiralling ramps cover the slowly growing pyramid,
the lowest parts ascend by less than 1.5 degrees each
- all ramps in literature are ridiculously steep.

Cult pyramid: base 100 rc, height 49 rc, slope
practically 70 rc, edge practically 86 rc, radius
of the inscribed hemisphere, symbol of the sky within
the primeval hill, practically 35 rc.

A height of 200 rc for the Red Pyramid is well justified,
however, I won't exclude further possibilities
incorporated into the design of this pyramid, indicated
by slightly varying angles. The pyramid was a symbol
of the primeval hill, place of all potentials ...

Good luck, Franz
