A new study by an Israeli researcher has sparked widespread controversy in academic circles after he claimed that the Great Pyramid of Giza was not built as a tomb for the pharaoh, but rather as a huge stone calculator that stored precise astronomical knowledge.
The study, which relies on ancient Egyptian units of measurement, links the dimensions of the pyramid to the cycles of the moon and the star Sirius, challenging the archaeological consensus that has prevailed for thousands of years.
Israeli Channel 14 reported that an independent researcher from Israel named Spee Levy offered a surprising explanation for the mystery of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, asserting that the massive structure was not designed to be a burial site, but was built as a giant stone calculator that stores knowledge about the movement of the stars and the moon.
The Hebrew channel added that this new proposal comes to overturn the archaeological consensus that has existed for generations, which considered the pyramid one of the most luxurious burial monuments in history, especially with the presence of an empty stone sarcophagus inside the king’s chamber without ever finding the pharaoh’s body in it. The prevailing theory attributed the absence of the mummy to the theft of ancient tombs, while the new thesis argues that the chamber was designed to be empty from the beginning and that the building was not originally intended for burial.
She pointed out that researcher Levi believes that the pyramid represents an ancient information repository built of stone, where the building itself is considered the precious treasure that resembles a huge scientific book preserved forever, which is what the global media called the Egyptian Da Vinci Code.
She explained that Levy used in his study the units of measurement and methods of calculation known to the ancient Egyptians according to historical documents instead of modern measurements. When simple mathematical operations were applied to the dimensions of the base of the pyramid and its height, the results matched with amazing accuracy the cycles of celestial bodies, such as the orbital cycle of the moon, which is 27.5 days, and the number of days in which the star Sirius disappears behind the light of the sun, which is 70 days, the number that formed the basis of the ancient Egyptian calendar.
To ensure that these matches were not merely coincidental, a computer simulation was conducted of 10,000 pyramids with completely random dimensions. The results showed that only a very small percentage, no more than 2.4%, produced numbers that matched natural phenomena to the same degree. Levi considers this evidence that the ancient builders knew exactly what they were doing and designed the building to be a testament to their astronomical knowledge.
Despite the enthusiasm generated by the study, traditional Egyptologists remain skeptical, pointing out that no ancient document has yet been found that explicitly states that the pyramids were intended to encode astronomical information, and that the pyramid still stands within a large royal funerary complex dedicated to the dead, and thus the Great Pyramid continues to keep its secrets within its stones until the new theories are definitively proven by more experts.
The pyramids of Giza have always occupied the minds of researchers and explorers throughout the ages, and theories have varied regarding how they were built and the true purpose of their construction, ranging from traditional archaeological interpretations that confirm their funerary function to alternative theories that link them to astronomy and advanced mathematics.
This Israeli research comes in the context of a renewed global interest in ancient Egyptian heritage and the use of modern technologies and computer simulations to reinterpret antiquities. However, it faces methodological challenges related to the lack of direct textual evidence from the Pharaonic era, which keeps the scientific debate open between supporters of alternative theories and guardians of classical academic principles in Egyptology.
