<HTML>All three pyrs. are simply positioned along sight lines to the north and all line up in a 45 degree angle on their S.E. corners.
----------------

That is a contradiction I am afraid.

If 4393.9 inches were required to provide Kafre with a clear view around a big pyramid (Khufu's), why would Menkeare require only 3135.9 inches?

Furthermore, why line them up at 45 degrees off North? An angle that is perfectly squared by each pyramid's edge? Why not 48? Or 23? In fact, why line them up along the SE-NW axis at all? If the only point was to get a good view, no alignment was necissary.

IF all three line up on the S.E. corners (and they do), along an angle of exactly 45 degrees off true north (and they do), and at an angle which is itself met by each pyramid's side at 45 degrees (and they do), it beggars belief to suggest that this occured out of a desire simply to provide a northern sightline(!).

There are many geometric concerns operating here, all of which dictated the arrangment of the site. All three pyramids are no "simply positioned along sight lines to the north." That much is certain.
