So that over 4040 years have elapsed since this huge monument of stone was reared in the land of Egypt Again, the modern astronomer may measure at midnight the angular distance of the Pleiades from the meridian. Or, he may measure the angular distance from the old pole-star from the present pole of the heavens. In either case by appropriate astronomical calculations it can be determined how long ago those stars were on the meridian. And this time agrees very nearly, if not exactly, with that before mentioned. Thus, we have something definite and tangible relative to the true age of the pyramid. We are not borne backward into pre-historic or even antediluvian antiquity. At 2170 B. C., the great structure rose from its base, certifying by the verdict of astronomy the date of its origin. CHAPTER IV. Pyramid's Messianic Character. Prof. Smyth says: "In the course of the Summer of 1872, in a correspondence with Mr. Charles Casey, of Pollerton Castle, Carlow, that straight-forward and vigorous thinker considered himself called on to tell me that while he had followed and adopted all that I had attempted as to the metrology of the Great Pyramid being of more than human scientific perfection for the age in which it was produced, yet to call it therefore Divinely inspired or sacred, seemed to be either too much or too little. 'Now, ' said Mr. Casey, 'unless the Great Pyramid can be shown to be Messianic, as well as fraught with superhuman science and design, its sacred claim is a thing with no blood in it.'"
