This is an aerial picture of the Memphite Necropolis Site at Giza, south-west of Cairo. Look carefully at the way the Pyramids are aligned. At first glance they seem to be imperfectly positioned. Classical Egyptologists maintain that this was either a mistake or a result of the terrain in the Giza Plateau. Compare this to the image of the Belt Stars of Orion and things become a little clearer. Far from being a mistake, the Pyramids are aligned almost exactly as the Belt Stars appear!
