Anyone actually visiting Abu Rowash, though, and looking at the topography for themselves, would realise that it's on an elevated location where the Nile valley starts widening to form the Delta. Anybody travelling south on the Nile in antiquity would have seen it, as it would have been far more impressive than Giza. Landscape archaeology can frequently provide more answers than maths and geometry.
