John Taylor published 'The Great Pyramid: Why Was It Built and Who Built It?' in 1860, theorizing it was a prophetic biblical calendar. When the Royal Society scoffed, Charles Piazzi Smyth (Astronomer Royal for Scotland) studied the monument in 1864-1865 and published 'Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid' in 1877. Robert Menses developed the theory that the pyramid inch represented one year in world history — one fractal of the 365.25 days in Earth's orbit. English engineer David Davidson supported these ideas in 'The Great Pyramid, Its Divine Message.' However, these researchers employed inaccurate chronologies or measurements, causing the pyramid inch theory to fall into academic disfavor.
