Archaeoastronomy of the Main Pyramids of Giza

For a long time, various qualitative speculations have been proposed about the connection between the three major pyramids of Giza and the stars. In particular, a popular and controversial hypothesis suggests that there is a perfect alignment between the positions of the three stars of Orion's Belt and the main Giza pyramids. Many great monuments and ceremonial structures built by early civilizations were aligned with astronomical features, with the accurate cardinal orientation of the Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt being a notable example. The study of ancient astronomies and the surviving indigenous traditions around the world offers valuable insights into the development of science and cosmological thought. Since the discoveries made at Stonehenge in the ۱۹۶۰s, Archaeoastronomy and ethnoastronomy have emerged as active interdisciplinary fields, providing new perspectives on the history of humanity's interaction with the cosmos. This collaborative research has expanded the scope of Archaeoastronomy to include interrelated interests such as ancient and native calendar systems, concepts of time and space, mathematics, counting systems and geometry, surveying and navigational techniques, geomancy, and the origins of urban planning. This body of research focuses on the history and correlation between stars, their positions, and their luminosity.
