  can anyone help me with pyramid dimensions.?
  I would like to know wether the pyramid dimensions of Giza have a mathematical synchronicity with the the rest of the universe, especially the sun,

  i dont know if they have any synchronicity with the sun or any other celestial objects but from what i have read they have very accurate dimensions ,and to me that can only conclude that there was a reason for building them that way

  Well of course they are very accurate if you use the Ancient Egyptians units of length!
  
  and to me that can only conclude that there was a reason for building them that way 
  
  Well of course there was a reason for building them that way - the Egyptians didn't just turn up with some stone blocks and start putting them together all willy-nilly hoping they would fit. For such an architectural project planning was involved, so of course the measurements were laid out.

  why are they accurate using egyptian units of length,could you explain more about egyptian units of length, and if they are so ,then what makes them not so, in our measurements

  The standard in use during the period in which the larger pyramids were constructed conformed to this scale:
  
  1 finger, db = 18¾ mm ≈ .72 inches
  1 palm, Å¡sp = 4 db = 75 mm ≈ 2.95 inches
  1 hand, drt = 5 db = 93¾ mm ≈ 3.7 inches
  1 fist, amm = 6 db = 112½ mm ≈4.4 inches
  1 span, spd = 12 db = 225 mm ≈ 8.86 inches
  1 foot, bw = 16 db = 300 mm ≈ 0.98 feet
  1 remen, rmn = 20 db = 375 mm ≈ 1.23 feet
  1 ordinary cubit, mh = 24 db = 6 Å¡sp = 450 mm ≈ 1.48 feet
  1 royal cubit, mh = 28 db = 7 Å¡sp = 525 mm ≈ 1.72 feet
  1 nibw = 32 db = 8 Å¡sp = 600 mm ≈ 1.97 feet
  1 double remen = 40 db = 2 rmn = 750 mm ≈ 2.46 feet
  1 rod, h3yt = 280 db = 10 mh (royal) = 5.25 m ≈ 17.22 feet
  1 ht, ht n nhw = 2800 db = 10 h3yt = 52.5 m ≈ 57.4 yards
  1 minute of march = 9800 db = 350 mh (royal) = 183.75 m ≈ 200.85 yards
  1 hour of march, atur, itrw = 588,000 db = 21,000 mh (royal) = 11.025 km ≈ 6.85 miles
  
  The dimensions and orientation of the pyramids vary, tremendously in the former case and significantly in the latter. Various crackpot theories attempting to relate these dimensions to other measurements (be they astronomical or geographical) tend to subvert, distort or even ignore these variations in order to prosecute a claim whose logic resides chiefly in the imagination of the prosecutor. This is unfortunate, as emphasis on spurious motivations for their construction deflects completely from the fascinating study of the actual and varied circumstances which provided a true motivation for their building, and complicate unnecessarily a true appreciation of the engineering skills and techniques employed.

  1 hour of march, atur, itrw = 588,000 db = 21,000 mh (royal) = 11.025 km ≈ 6.85 miles   That's a pretty brisk pace. Were the ancient Egyptions particularly long legged?
