The Orientations of the Giza pyramids and associated structures - Erin Nell and Clive Ruggles
QuoteWe measured a line of 8 points on the northern edge of Khafre’s causeway, which yield our best estimate of its orientation (azimuth 103° 26´/283° 26´). The discrepancy between this and the figure obtained from 4 points on the southern edge (103° 33´/283° 33´) appears to be due to the poo

My understanding is that the pyramids represented mountains and at the same time stars. In my two books I show that they correspond to mountains in Hellas and Egypt. But one would ask why? The reason is that this mountain stationary point of reference correlation plans out positions of stars. Ancient cultures called planets wandering stars. So planets are also "stars".

The shafts in the Great Pyramid are not 4 they are 5. 5 is the number that relates to the Khufu Pyramid and the isopsephy value of the Greek word for five as pente is 440, the width of the GP in royal cubits. The Khufu enclosure pyramids were 5 in all(1 main, 1 cult, 3 satellite). The fifth 'air' shaft is the subterranean passage which leads South. The subterrane

QuoteOne of the most mysterious features of Khufu's Pyramid are the so-called 'air shafts'. Below we will investigate a variation of the Orion Correlation Theory for the purpose of the shafts.
We use Stellarium software and station ourselves at Khufu's Pyramid at Giza. We set the Julian date to November 13, 2553, BC. We chose the time of day so that the belt star

Yes, but there are so many other common numbers. Why not a round 100? Or why not 30 or 1000? So, why doesn't apophenia hold when studying Egyptian texts? What about sekeds of ratios? Do we need a written statement like this: "For those who don't get it, now I am going to encode pyramid architecture data: the number of fishes was 153 etc..."

According to Wikipedia, the decans are 36 groups of stars used in the Ancient Egyptian astronomy. If we divide the circle into 36 equal parts, then each one corresponds to an angle of 10 degrees. If we consider on the day I was born the right time so that the angle difference between the Sun's azimuth as observed at my birth place and the meridian, is equal to the angle difference between th

So the large error in the proposed Sirius and Kochab star to shafts correlation should make us look at other options, that is, taking into account also the blocked QC air-shafts.

QuoteBlock No. 5 is not accessible to conventional measuring procedures. Here, our video images show that the shaft's angle of ascent declines. From this point, all the way to the outlet on the pyramid's flank (we measured both points), the shaft maintains an angle of 45°. So, despite the extreme fluctuations in the initial section, the shaft seem to proceed with great exac

Based on Stellarium, If we consider we are stationed at Khafre's pyramid then ignoring the effect of the atmosphere we note that the geometric altitude of Alnilam at upper culmination is 45.0034 degrees.
But this is not the correct time to observe things. The reason is that at the upper culmination of Alnitak on this same date we have chosen coincides with the upper culmination of Betelge

The problem with the stars in the pole region is that their distance is large so it is difficult to consider them as a group. The Orion belt stars on the other apart from bright are close to each other.
The apparent distance between the two brightest Orion belt stars can be projected onto the Earth and thus define a standard distance that could represent for example the distance between two c

Cocteau refers to the three wise men, he does not refer to Orion. It is possible that he might have thought that they represented the belt stars of Orion, but this is not clear. None the less there could be no decoding through solely philological reference. One needs to resort to maps or mapping(geography, geometry, etc) for this. Cocteau did not relate neither distance, nor orientation, nor heig

Well there is always the possibility of me unconsciously conceiving the Orion Correlation Theory before Robin Cook or Robert Bauval.
