Orion Mystery
Saw this book at Barnes & Noble the other night while browsing books with the family. I had heard of the correlation between the Great Pyramid at Giza and the stars before but the specifics presented here are truly amazing!
Basically the layout of the pyramids relative to the Nile is very similar to the layout of prominent stars relative to the Milky Way.
Not only are the 3 stars in Orion's belt correlated to the 3 pyramids on the Giza plateau, but at least 4 other pyramids have been associated with 2 corner stars in Orion and the 2 stars that tip the horns of Taurus!
I liked that the book is presented as one researcher's quest to understand the purpose of the Great Pyramid. Notebly it does not attempt to assign any great mystical powers to the pyramid (pyramidology) but the more legitimate science of understanding ancient Egyptian society and why they needed to build these fantastically enormouse structures (egyptology).
