Right.  My point was that the Greek Golden ratio has nothing to do with the
proportions of the monolith.

The golden ratio is related to a different sequence: the ratio between
consecutive numbers of the Fibonacci sequence approaches Phi. Or phi, if
you go backwards.

So, if the monolith were golden-ratio realated, its sides in the primary
three dimensions would probably be 1:1:2. Not very exciting....

Hmmm. Or 0:1:1.
