RE: Tracking down a noise

Inside the Kings Chamber with the normal tourist flow it is impossible to hear yourself think.
I SHUSH'D everyone and had about 10 seconds of utter silence before the babble began again.

I'd love half an hour of silence inside the pyramid.

Also, some of the facts in the history part of the attachment are not quite.....right.
For example, the base side of the Great Pyramid is very close to 230 meters or about 760 feet.
The height of the Pyramid is in the ratio of 2PI to the base. So, the structure is therefore 'Earth commensurate'. Also, as noted by one of the 'Savants' brought to Egypt by Napolean, the stright up meaure.....from the center of a side to the tip-top is 185 meters. This is 1/10 of a minute of arc. The unit of measure used in the construction was apparently related to the side of the Earth.....as was intended when the French 'invented' the Meter.
As kind of an interesting aside, none other than Sir Isaac Newton was very interested in the pyramids dimensions.
Too much is never enough
