Riddle: Which Egyptian pyramid am I? Use 18 inches as the measure of the cubit, rather than the 20 some odd inches mistakenly used. My height is about 100 times the number Pi (3.14159...), and the squair of the diagonal of my base is about 444,444.444 (that is 444 thousand 444 point 444), the squair of a side of my base is 222,222.222. And the length of my diagonal is about 666.666 (or two thirds of one thousand).

again use 18 inches for the unit measure. 1 foot is 2/3 of the unit. A meter is about 39.37 inches.

The pyramid is found in modern day Egypt (for clarification as some pyramids are found in Sudan).

Good luck in solving this riddle.
