Most of the articles believe pi is actually part of the design of the pyramids through the use of a circle. Phi, however, was likely unknown by the Egyptians at the time of the building of the great pyramids; that phi appears in the dimensions, appears to result not from the original design but due to its , that phi, appears due show up “after the fact” due to its own mathematical properties and relationship to pi. Notice that you can construct a right angled triangle with sides, 1 square root of phi and hypotenuse phi. See the attached picture. This mathematical characteristic likely have given rise to phi hiding in the dimensions of the great pyramids. But nobody knows for sure.
