There are quite a lot of practical problems in marking things out with cords that are really somewhat lengthy, though. The base of the GP is 440 cubits, so that's a 110 cubit (over 50m) cord.

All you've really demonstrated, so it appears to me, is that you can use a computer to draw arcs and then find a fit to parts of Giza; in that respect, therefore, it seems little different from Graham Chase's alleged mathematical proof. The apexes of the subsidiary pyramids seem to be on a common axis. However, that axis doesn't run as closely parallel to Khufu's pyramid as the axis of Menkaure's subsidiary pyramid runs to his pyramid. Considering that there was a high temenos wall around the main pyramids, wouldn't they have just moved an appropriate distance away, and then laid the subsidiary pyramids out on a common axis?
