Sir Issac Newton is credited with the discovery that the Great Pyramid was constructed on two different units of measurements called cubits. One he called "profane" and the other he called "sacred." Based on Greaves and other investigators' measurements of the King's Chamber. The profane cubit: was computed when 20.63 British inches produced a room with an even length of cubits: 20x10. However, the other cubit (sacred) Newton derived from Josephus's description of the circumference of the pillars of the Temple at Jerusalem. The horseshoe projection on the wall of the granite leaf in the ante-chamber known as the "boss," when measured from the east wall produces the equivalent of 25 inches. This measurement of 25 equal parts was determined to be the what was determined as pyramid inches: hence 25 inches equals the sacred cubit. While Newton held to the view that the cubit was between 24.80 and 25.02 British inches, he also believed the figure could be more refined through additional measurements of the Great Pyramid and other Hebrew pre-monarchy buildings. The Profane cubit was determined by gathering dimensions of the Great Pyramid and from cubits taken of several nations gathered by both Graves and Newton and was reported in a report called " A dissertation upon the Sacred Cubit of the Jews. But Greaves made inaccurate measurements upon which Newton made his calculations, which were done at the base of the Great Pyramid. This misinformation was due to the debris surrounding the base of the pyramid.
