Pyramid articles open the matching calculator preset

Links from pyramid articles open the calculator with the same monument selected. The navigation check covers the homepage and all eight pyramid presets.

In brief

Links from pyramid articles now select the matching monument in the calculator. A reader following the Menkaure article reaches the Menkaure preset, rather than having to reconstruct that context from a general calculator page. The same link contract covers the eight existing pyramid presets.

Open the calculator with the article’s pyramid selected

A general calculator link loses useful information. The article has already identified a monument and explained the limits of its profile. Asking the reader to choose again introduces an avoidable chance of comparing the article with another pyramid's dimensions.

The repair uses a query parameter, the named value after the question mark in a link. The Menkaure study opens its matching calculator preset. Khafre has its own preset link, while the homepage starts with Khufu. A saved link therefore retains the intended starting point.

Check the selected monument as well as the destination

The navigation review covered the homepage and the eight pyramid articles. A dedicated check compares each article's link with the expected preset. That catches a link which reaches the right tool but selects the wrong monument, a defect that an ordinary successful-page check would miss.

This was a navigation release. It preserved the calculator code, preset data and approved monument graphics. The source distinctions explained in the methodology still govern the interpretation: selecting a profile demonstrates a calculation from its inputs, not an ancient builder's intention.

Unit-article preset links remain planned

Joe's later reader-orientation requirement extends this idea to the unit articles: begin with one ancient unit and an appropriate familiar modern unit. That wider retrofit remains open. The completed pyramid links provide a working pattern, but they do not establish that all unit pages have received it.

The useful boundary is the handover from explanation to calculation. The link should preserve what the reader is investigating, and the tool should keep the assumptions visible.
