Pi, or rather pi/6=~0.523, has an odd coincidental relationship with a formula involving phi=(√5+1)/2=~1.618, to three places. And, it is just possible that whoever the hell did the Great Pyramid knew of this coincidence.
There is also a strange relationship involving pi, phi, the cubit used there, and the modern meter (which is canonically taken from 1/40,000,000 of the Earth's circumference). The Egyptian cubit, by some mysterious, hermetical coincidence, exactly matches the French royal cubit. The ratio of that cubit to the modern meter is pi/6, to 3 places.

This might all seem like reaching, but the Egyptians were very keen on numerology. They thought it had legitimately divine implications, and that coincidences were none. There are odd coincidences with the size of Earth, moon, and sun involving these values.

Demanding only three digits of precision to match makes these coincidences a lot easier, but the ancients were probably satisfied by that precision.
