"The markings are hieratic numerical signs. They read from right to left, meaning 100, 20, 1. The builders simply recorded the total length of the shaft: 121 cubits," said Luca Miatello, an independent researcher who specializes on ancient Egyptian mathematics.
"If the figures are numbers and they are the precise measurement of the shaft, then it's amazing," he said. "It would be a huge, rare clue to what the architect was thinking. For example, why take the trouble to precisely measure and record the length if the shaft was only used for a mundane purpose or simply abandoned?”
