This is because it is mainly assumed that the people who built the pyramids did not have the necessary tools, skills, or abilities, including mathematical concepts, to build such a structure and even link it, through a pattern, to other historical structures in across the globe. In essence, the pyramid demonstrates the ancient Egyptian’s knowledge in mathematics because they are the first known structures to feature the 1:1.618 golden ratio (Deif, 2019). This shows that Egyptians could calculate the volume and area of a pyramid. Today, the pyramid structures are a tourist attraction site and a vital Egyptian and global historical site that links the past with the present. The mathematical concepts utilized in constructing the pyramids, including the 3,4, and 5 triangles (or the Pythagoras theorem), are still applicable t...
