David Davidson was born in Glasgow, but later moved to England where he became a qualified structural engineer, working in the City of Leeds.
He subsequently spent 25 years analysing the Great Pyramid. Despite originally being a skeptic, Davidson later converted to being a proponent of pyramidology after reconciling Flinders Petrie"s findings with Smyth"s through a complex set of calculations. Flinders Petrie claimed he had disproved Smyth"s metrological claims regarding the Great Pyramid, but Davidson believed he had found a reconciling truth between both Petrie"s and Smyth"s calculations and data, later publishing them in his first book The Great Pyramid: Its Divine Message (1924) as well as an article in a journal.
Aldersmith"s contributions to the book concerned the prophecies he believed were contained in the Great Pyramid (eg a chronological metrological map in the passageways and chambers of the pyramid) while Davidson"s contributions were purely mathematical.
In a 1940 edition of his book on pyramidology, Davidson revised Aldersmith"s date predictions for End Times (see Herbert Aldersmith for these revisions). "I studied "critical theology" and
God became remote.
I studied "skeptical theology" to find
God less than manitoba I studied a "freak theory" and
found it TRUTH
In the TRUTH of British Israel I
found the Bible the living Word of
a living God.".
