A London publisher named John Taylor also a gifted mathematician desiring to analyze the pyramids astronomical elements. He studied it's measurements being seriously interested in the results from a mathematicians point of view.

His conclusion was that the architect of the Great Pyramid was not an Egyptian, either by race or religion. He believed it would be found, eventually, that the measurements and contours of the Pyramid passage system, as its chambers, were intended to indicate a prophetic and historical record, especially in relationship to Biblical revelation.

Piazzi Smyth, a Scottish Astronomer, and student of Taylor, decided to affirm, or if possible to refute the findings of Taylor. Consequently, he lifted the investigation and study of the Great Pyramid into the realm of applied science. But the only way he could do so conclusively was to go to Egypt and do his own measurements.

His findings were published and found startling. They were were highly regarded, and the summation expressed an keen insight into the builder in that he had to have had an accurate knowledge of high astronomical and geographical physics

The astounding volume of knowledge of mathematics, science, astronomy, geography, and physics contained in stone would have been impossible for the pharaohs of that day to have known. He concluded that while the world believed the Great Pyramid was considered a tomb, he believed it had different purpose.

It was then the mechanical engineer Flinders Petrie who set out to measure the Great Pyramid to either substantiate or refute the work of Smyth and Taylor. His tools of measurement allowed him to measure correctly within 1/1000 of an inch.

In the beginning Petrie actually belittled Smyths basic contentions about the perimeter of the pyramid which incorporated the length of the solar year. Nevertheless it was Petrie who discovered a hallowing of the core masonry. His discovery of this facet actually led to a confirming Smyth's conclusions concerning the astronomical features of the Great Pyramid.
