Determining the surface radius using the cord length and sagitta (cord height). The calculations indicate a radius of 23.95ft

Determining the radius where cutting ended. The calculations indicate a radius of 23.68ft

When tilted on a 45 degree angle, a vertical view of the saw shows it to be an ellipse. It is a small section of the ellipse that will produce two large radii. One on the x – y axis (vertical view) and also on the x – z axis (horizontal view along the y axis).

Using calculations to select cutter to create 1/61 scale model in micarta

Mental gymnastics on paper trying to address anomolies

Referred to as a boat pit, this trench answers the question of how they would mount a 37 ft diameter saw

Mega Machines for Mega Builders

Also labeled as boat pits, numerous trenches are found on the Giza Plateau

The genius that went into the concept and design of the pyramids was not limited when it came to designing the tools to accomplish the job. Time to give the pyramid builders credit for their true accomplishments, seen and not seen (implied)
