And given how we tend to find mathematical relationships where we look for them, it could have seemed extremely scientific to the AE. In this sense, the mortuary temples would be aligned according to 'an orion' and would not necessarily represent a star symbolism per say but a geometric figure.
If this is true, one would expect to find the alignment to have similar error margins to those we find in the pyramids measurements themselves.
I guess what you need also is to find other examples of 'stellar geometric figures'. Until then it's just an apealing idea (I know John, not to you
)

Me neither, but it's not because we don't know that we can't ask ourselves right ?
