The Great Pyramid of Jeezeh

A C Height of Pyramid.

D B Diameter of Pyramid— 365*242 Pyramid Cubits.

E F G H Base of Pyramid.

A B C D Diametrical Vertical Section.

A EC J Diagonal Vertical Section.

AC is to twice DB as π, or as 1 is to 3.14159, or as the diameter is to the circumference of a circle.

And A D B, the right section of the Pyramid, is to EFGH, the area of the base, as π, or as 1 is to 3.14159, or as the diameter to the circumference of a circle.

And AC, the height, is the radius of a circle equal in circumference to the external lines of the square base.

Thus actually squaring the circle as accurately as possible.
