A pyramid based on Phi varies by only 0.025% from the Great Pyramid’s estimated dimensions. Phi is the only number which has the mathematical property of its square being one more than itself: Φ + 1 = Φ² or 1.618 + 1 = 2.618. Even if the Egyptians only understood pi and/or phi through their integer approximations, the fact that the pyramid uses them shows that there was likely some understanding and intent of their mathematical importance in their application.
