Abstract

The author responds to the comment made to his article "Energy Management Reduces Great Pyramid Build Effort by More Than 98%." He asserts that the term rocker used in the discussion was functionally descriptive, but the function was not accurate. He notes that he uses the quarter circle term in his response because it is an accurate physical description. He also argues against the discusser's thought that Egyptians did not have the concept of pi or know its approximate value.
