Pi Encoded in the Great Pyramid

The perimeter of the Great Pyramid's base (4 × 230.33m = 921.32m) divided by twice its height (2 × 146.59m = 293.18m) yields 3.1425 — within 0.03% of the true value of π (3.14159...). This relationship means the pyramid's cross-section embodies the geometric principle of "squaring the circle" — the base perimeter equals the circumference of a circle whose radius is the pyramid's height. The ancient Egyptians are not known to have discovered π to this precision, which was not formally calculated until Archimedes circa 250 BCE. This raises the question: was this encoding intentional, or an emergent property of a different design principle?
