I saw this in the Daily Grail. There are many geometry theories about Giza, and this one is interesting. It's the Orion/Giza connection.

Me either KB. This is a representation of the "Orion Connection" of Bauval. It seems like a reasonable and benign theory except that it suggests that the 3 pyramids of Giza were planned all at once as an astronomical feature.this was “The Place” is not hard for me to accept.
This runs afoul of the currently accepted theory that the three pyramids were designed one at a time by three different pharoahs and were to be used as their tombs. So the Bauval theory causes orthodox Egyptologists to howl.
The issue remains unsettled.
I don’t see a conflict.
Even if they were “Designed” by different Pharaohs at different times it is pretty certain they would have asked for advice from a priestly class as to location.
I would assume the priests class would have a longer range point of view of history and it is not hard to believe they had a tradition as to what kind of alignments should be used for different projects.
Except in the North East most of the streets and buildings in the US are aligned North/South or East/West. Not because they were all designed at the same time, but because the Government surveyors laid out that kind of grid long before. It became the accepted and expected form of alignment. Even out in the super boonies when there was no compelling reason to do so.
I remember my Grandfather, a sometimes surveyor out in the flatland of Illinois, saying “People want their houses square with the world.”
