Not only are the pyramids NOT aligned to the belt of Orion, in order to force them to align, the north/south axis has to be flipped.

Maybe that was the point? An inverted expression to represent the constellation, mirroring the heavens on earth.

Haha, it’s easy to be either a dreamer or a denier. Much of archaeology is about speculation using what evidence you have available.

Yes, it was supposed to be flipped. That's a feature, not a bug.

Maybe but where's the evidence??

Remember, science doesn't LOOK for coincidences.

Sorry, let me be clear! In Bauval's theory they're meant to be flipped. That's not a hole in the theory, that's part of it.

That said, I do not agree with the Orion alignment theory.
