The consensus opinion of Egyptologists and other scholars is that the ancient Egyptians had no knowledge of Phi.

  However, the diagrams below, based on accurate measurements, reveal quite clearly that the 'architect' or 'architects' that designed the Great Pyramid had known about Phi and the Golden Proportion.

The first image below shows how the Golden Spiral fits the Great Pyramid, and upon seeing this for the first time, some of us would appreciate it straight away, while others would not see the full significance of what they are looking at and wouldn't be very impressed - even though the full implications, when we have digested the facts of this - are indeed impressive.

1. How the Golden Spiral fits the geometrical structure of the Great Pyramid and aligns with its internal chambers

To really appreciate what we are seeing here, we must begin with two images, an accurate Golden Spiral, and a scale drawing of the Great Pyramid without any internal chambers or features showing. We must be sure that both are mathematically correct and in proportion

    2. Golden Spiral incorporating Phi

and the Golden Proportion or Golden Ratio

3. The Great Pyramid drawn to scale - no internal features showing

The only way that the Golden Spiral will fit the structure of the Great Pyramid is if we scale the Golden Spiral so that it begins from the apex (1) and aligns with the base (2). We then find that the head of the smaller spiral magically hits the centreline of the Great Pyramid. (3). (See diagram below). Without having seen the end result shown in the first diagram above, upon seeing Figure 4 below, many of us would reserve judgement while others would respond with "Its a coincidence". But think again and look again at the image.

  What if we didn't know the internal features of the Great Pyramid? What if the Great Pyramid had never been opened?

  We would perhaps speculate that there might be chambers inside, but we would not be certain where these chambers might be - especially the most important chamber we now know to date.

  On seeing the Golden Spiral superimposed over the Great Pyramid as shown below, many would indeed suggest that the vanishing Point of the spiral might indicate an important internal feature - perhaps a chamber. Others would immediately jump on these people from a great height and would shout "Nonsense! . . . The ancient Egyptians did not know of Phi " and so would predict that there is nothing there . . . that nothing is indicated by the end point of the spiral.

And indeed on discovering these internal chambers, as shown in Figure 5 below, the rationalists - having based their opinions on their belief in our established historical knowledge - would be wrong, and the alternative theorists would be correct, because taking a cross-sectioned diagram of the pyramid looking west, the 'vanishing point' of the spiral is not only pointing out the most important chamber in the pyramid - being the "King's Chamber" - but it also falls on the sarcophagus . . . and right where someone's head would be if he or she was lying down inside the sarcophagus with head towards north.

  Why does the spiral begin from the Apex and end within the head of the individual lying within the sarcophagus? 

  My own interpretation would be that the tip of the apex represents the 'zero-point of creation' and it was perhaps believed that this zero-point made a correspondence with the centre of the brain and at the point of enlightenment. This gives us some clue as to why the pyramids were built and how they may have been utilized. See article Akh: The Seed Point and the Seed Stone of Creation.
