Tlie floor plan of the Chartres cathedral is based on three tables, a<br />

round one, a square one, and a rectangular one. Each of these tables<br />

has exactly the same area, which is one hundredth of that of the<br />

Great Pyramid of Cheops. The area of each table is 531.88 square<br />

meters while that of the Great Pyramid is 53,188 square meters. A<br />

special Chartres inch of 23.0625 millimeters, representing one tenthousandth<br />

of the side of the Pyramid, was used for the construction<br />

but the Church did not know it. Who did actually design the Chartres<br />

cathedral in 1194 and build it in twenty-six years according to the<br />

size of the Great Pyramid?
