		This book and many others claim that the angle of slope of the Great Pyramid of Khufu (noted as 51° 51') is contained within a particular construction based on the vesica piscis figure.
		Actually, the vesica piscis construction results in an angle of 51° 36' 38".
		So either the pyramid builders didn't base the pyramid on this construction, or they weren't completely accurate, or the remains of the pyramid are so eroded we can't be sure what the intended angle of slope might have been.

		While it's possible, it seems unlikely as the principle angles at work in a pentagram are 72deg and 36deg, and the principle angles in the vesica piscis are 90deg, 60deg, 45deg, and30deg;inasmuch as it is impossible to trisect an angle with compass and straightedge, no bisections of the angles present generate the angles needed.

	Kingfisher : Vesica Piscis - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Not to be confused with Bob Weir's '70s Grateful Dead spinoff band, Kingfish, Kingfisher is a new age/pop solo artist who recorded Vesica Piscis in the late '90s.
		The songs on Vesica Piscis, which Kingfisher arranged and co-produced, are contemplative, tranquil numbers that draw on European folklore as well as elements of Christianity and Buddhism.
		Some listeners turn to new age because they want to unwind, unplug and hear something that's mindlessly soothing, but Vesica Piscis isn't without a brain -- and on the whole, Kingfisher keeps the CD from becoming an exercise in muzak.

		Two equal circles would symbolize these infinite periods of time and their intersection forms a cavity, which represents that attainment, which is the aim and object of every man's sojourn on this earth, and which in Christian symbolism, is called the birth and life of Christ in the soul.
		The Vesica Piscis is an almost universal symbol for the Christ and this accounts for the use of the oval form on seals of ecclesiastical institutions.
		The early Christians were anxious to include symbols of their religion in their cathedrals and churches, and this is the reason for the rise of Gothic architecture in which the windows were built in a pointed form to include this symbol of the Christ.
