	The Giza Plateau and the Great Pyramids
		The pyramids of queens stand in front of the pyramid of Menkaure, the pyramid of Khafre with the remains of its distinctive limestone casing stands in the centre, and the Great pyramid of Khufu is set back to the far right.

	Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		However considering that the second pyramid was supported in its foundations, by being cut into the sloping hillside and being built up to a height of 33 feet at the Southeast corner, this suggestion seems extremely unlikely.
		So from this we can postulate that two of the three pyramids on the Giza plateau were designed around Pythagorean triangles, and we have seen that the overall arrangement of the pyramids on the plateau reflects this arrangement.
		So far we have seen that the cardinal positioning of the first and third pyramids was based upon a square root Pythagorean triangle, and we have a very strong suspicion that the angles of two of the pyramids were designed to produce different and meaningful Pythagorean triangles.

		Various publications of the architectural complexes on the Giza Plateau, obtained from the Oriental Institute's Research Archives, were used during this phase of the project.
		As was the case with the Giza Plateau project, these early publications did, however, supply the necessary information to create a new three-dimensional computer model of the Zoser pyramid complex.
		Fortunately for her, our computer model of the Zoser complex was easily adapted to illustrate her forthcoming article correlating the three stelae beneath the step pyramid and the three stelae associated with the south tomb.
