2. Phi and the pyramid. I is often said that the Greek historian Herodotus (484-425 BC) described the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza by saying that "the Pyra mid was built so that the area of each trian- gular side would equal the area of a square whose side is equal to the Pyramid's height."
