The maker behind Urbanshaman Meditation Pyramids is sorting shapes for a frame at home, not reporting from Giza. Most designs, he says, use phi, the relation of 1 to 1.618. Multiply any length by that factor and set the shorter measure from the middle of the base toward the apex. The triangle closes near 51.83 degrees and matches the Giza profile. Run the same relation across the whole base and the corner becomes 72 degrees, his Nubian form. Skip phi for a relation of 1 to 2.02 and the slope is about 76 degrees, which some builders already call Russian. Growing circles, each 1.618 times the last, with tangent lines, meet near 76.35 degrees and draw that steep outline another way. Stacking the three silhouettes is only a comparison. He sells connectors in copper, aluminum, or PVC for common pipe sizes, and the samples are meant to fit under an eight-foot ceiling. Choose the calmer Giza profile or the sharper Nubian or Russian one, he says, by gut feeling.
Key points
- The video is a maker’s guide to small pyramid frames, not a claim about who built the monuments in Egypt.
- Phi, 1 to 1.618, drawn from the base center, is his recipe for a Giza-like angle near 51.83 degrees.
- The same ratio measured across the full base yields 72 degrees, which he names the Nubian profile.
- A ratio of 1 to 2.02, or growing circles in the same golden steps, gives the steeper form he calls Russian, near 76 degrees.
- He sells connectors so a buyer can assemble any of the three in metal or plastic pipe sized to a home ceiling.
- He tells viewers to pick among the calm Giza shape and the sharper Nubian or Russian shapes by intuition.

I end up with a 72 degree angle so this is what we call the Nubian
