In this 1859 work, John Taylor claimed to have discovered the 'pyramid inch', which he argued was one twenty-fifth of the so-called 'sacred cubit' and was derived from ancient astronomical observations. His work was very influential, but was later debunked by the more accurate surveys and measurements of Flinders Petrie.
