Hi all.

In my wanderings and studies I chanced upon studying the tilt of the Earth's axis and related topics and then I noted a line at Giza which I thought should go 45 degrees and then it hit me. Why do the pyramids face North ?

That is to say why do they hit North of the present day ?

They were built a minimum of 4500 years ago? ... Should they not hit North of that era ?

Using calculations that translates to the shift:

41000 = 1.5 degrees (24 - 22.5 agreed maximum and minimum tilt)

This is a cycle so divide by 2

1 yr = 1.5 / 20,500

4500 yrs = 4500 x (1.5 / 20,500)

4500 yrs = 0.08 degree = 28.8 minutes ( I think my math is correct)

However apparently the pyramids are only 5 minutes off due North and even this Petrie writes is very noticeable.

Why is the deviation not 28.8 minutes ?
