Squaring the Circle has always been difficult for moderns to understand how the ancients achieved this problem using only Euclidian Geometry. Because of the infinite nature of Pi, it has been said that it is impossible to Square the Circle. This however is not true. It’s easy to square the circle….by using a pyramid! Specifically the Great pyramid at Giza.
If you take the height of the pyramid as the radius of a circle that you inscribe upon the square base of the pyramid, you have then achieved the impossibility of Squaring the Circle with only Compasses, a Straightedge and ingenuity. See how it’s done in the video below.
