Hi all .
I do not know how accurate this map is but it is posted
on an Egyptologist's website so I assume it must be reasonably close. Would dearly love a totally accurate one but nevertheless on to the title of the post ... (NOTE: Please when you get to link ... click on 'Monuments" and then "Dashur" )

The Dashur Pyramid field ...

Image 2:
Showing some right angled lines and please note that the green lines are equal as are the red and black lines and are drawn at a 90 degree angle to each other and all use the East-West line of The Red as a base.

Image 3:
More lines drawn at 45 degrees and another light brown one at 90 degrees. Amazing how all of a sudden the placement of Amenemhat's Pyramid no longer seems random at all.

Image 4:
In this image an interesting angle is found and a logical reason for the placement of Sesostris III's pyramid is realized. So I would hazard a guess that a design was completed here many years later. Or at the very least a plan was followed in the 12th dynasty

There is most probably more but let us absorb this much first.
