Hans: 1. The main three pyramids do not accurately reflect how Orion's belt is in the sky.

SC: I have NEVER said that the 3 main pyramids at Giza correlate accurately or otherwise with their celestial counterparts. As a matter of fact, this would be quite impossible given that the key requirement was to set the Khafre/Menkaure alignment at 212 degrees azimuth. When we apply this alignment to Menkaure's celestial counterpart we obtain the date 10,550BC AND - LO AND BEHOLD - the 3 belt stars are arranged horizontaly on the SW horizon as mimicked by the three 'Queens' of Menkaure. This explain also why Menkaure is in the south and not the north as per Ed Krupp's 'upside/down' criticism of Bauval's origfinal OCT. This arrangement of the SW 'Queens' acts as a 'corroborating mechanism' for the GPW callibrating date. Is this so difficult to comprehend?

Hans: 2. The two sets of smaller pyramids do not accurately reflect what is in the sky.

SC: Dear, dear! Clutching at straws, my friend. I can see the correlation and so can thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people who have now seen the GOCT. The fact is - YOU SIMPLY DON'T WANT IT TO WORK.

Hans: 3. Why the AE would build something they could see each night incorrectly is puzzling.

SC: 1) The correlation is close enough for us to make the connection. 2) The AEs wre following a plan - they built it but they did NOT design it.
