Lined Up with the Stars:
Ancient Egyptians spent a lot of time studying the constellations and attempting to read the skies; we see some justification for that here. It would seem that ancient Egyptians enjoyed aligning their construction with outer space. The shafts were not the only piece of construction that were aligned with the stars; all three Pyramids of Giza were also aligned with outer space.

The Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure pyramids perfectly aligned with the famous Orion’s Belt stars. The pyramids were aligned with Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka. What makes this discovery puzzling is that the Orion’s Belt wasn’t discovered until 2,000 years after constructing the pyramids. How did ancient Egyptians manage to accurately measure the placement of stars and build their pyramids to align with these constellations?
