There's no doubt there were solar qualities to the pyramids. After all, Ra was the living pharaoh's father.

As Ritva has eloquently pointed out many, many times here, the idea of a dichotomy between solar and stellar issues simply wasn't a thing that existed in Old Kingdom Egypt.

This dichotomy has been falsely projected onto ancient Egypt by a handfull of modern extreme skeptics who want to deny the importance of stellar concepts to the Old Kingdom scribes.

As we know, this is really simply a distortion of the facts and the creation of an artificial ideological schism, to support their efforts to undermine Robert Bauval. Their ideas have nothing to do with Egyptology at all.

(POST SCRIPT) I see Ritva and Chris have already responded to you. I concur with their statements entirely, and point out the importance of the study day at the Egyptian Exploration Society last year which was dedicated to ancient Egyptian astronomy)
