The L/L Meditation Pyramid

[Steppingfeet]

Hi Gary,

This is not a response to your query regarding the 60 degree angle you are looking for to build. However, would you ever want to build a pyramid according to Ra's measurements, starting with six feet beams for each side at the base (as you said those are already cut to size), you would have next to cut four beams each of 20,7 (feet) and, attach those at each of the four corners at the base, with a meeting point on top, of course.
This probably doesn't help much for your project which seems very specific...
(Edit: Actually, the calculus is more accurate when starting with the measurement of the height first then calculating the perimeter from the height rather that the other way around. As it is, I reduced the distortion as close as possible which gives a measurement of 24,012 for the perimeter, which is very close.)

Have you found a solution since you posted your request By the way?

All the best.

Namaste, thank you for the offer to send any information my way you may gather.

Whitefeather, definitely would not want to build the 1.16 height-to-base-side-sum pyramid! I think Don understood something about that riddle when opting for an equilateral pyramid.

Looking at that photo of Carla in the backyard, I realize that the project is a bit simpler than I thought. If I gather four (instead of eight) pieces of wood of equal length, I can replicate a smaller version of Don's pyramid.

I would simply need to find a way to make the four pieces meet evenly at the apex (by asking Jim how Don and he achieved that), and measure out the base sides so that the four pieces of wood were equidistant. I could even mark the four corners on my attic floor, or put some sort of rubber stop in those corners to hold the wood in place.

Much love, Gary
