Facts

550 feet diameter at the base.

131 feet high.

30 degrees slope angle.

It has a round flat top.

It has 2 circles, one base and one top.

2 x 260 = 720

720 x 30 degrees slope angle x π = 67,858.4013175395 which is also its Multiplied Latitude. Which also the Multiplied Latitude of the Pyramid of Khafre at Giza, Egypt.

Vector = Multiplied Latitude / Multiplied True Longitude

67858.4013175395 / 26628.67197 = 2.54832089989276

2.54832089989276 x 720 x 30 = 55043.7314376836

Which correlates to 38 degrees, 39 minutes and 37.1415191887204 seconds which is the Latitude of Monks Mound, IL, USA.
