I would have liked for the story to have noted, at least in passing, that 3³+4³+5³ = 6³.

(I found this in the brilliantly mad "The celestial inspirations for Giza, Stonehenge and Washington D.C." by Robin Spivey:

Along with that, the Great Pyramid's latitude in degrees matches the speed of light in m/s divided by 10000, to 6 digits, the King's chamber is precisely 5π/3 and also 2φ² meters wide, and that latitude in radians is π/6. Suffice to say that numerical coincidences are more the norm than the exception.)
