CHAZELLES, JEAN MATHIEU DE (1657-171o)

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 20 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHA-CHR
CHAZELLES, JEAN MATHIEU DE (1657-171o) ,
French
  hydrographer, was
born
  at Lyons on the 24th of July 1657. He was nominated
professor
  of
hydrography
  at
Marseilles
  in 1685, and in that capacity carried out various
coast
  surveys. In 1693 he was engaged to publish a second volume of the Neptune francais, which was to include the
hydrography
  of the Mediterranean. For this purpose he visited the Levant and
Egypt
 . When in
Egypt
  he measured the pyramids, and, finding that the angles formed by the sides of the largest were in the direction of the four
cardinal
  points, he concluded that this position must have been intended, and also that the poles of the earth and meridians had not deviated since the erection of those structures. He was made a member of the
Academy
  in 1695, and died in Paris on the 16th of January 1710.
