Celestial Connections Shape Sacred Sites
The alignment of the Giza Plateau's monuments—specifically the three great pyramids and the Great Sphinx—reveals significant astronomical correlations to ancient dates, particularly around 10,500 BC. This alignment is unlikely to be coincidental, suggesting purposeful design reflecting celestial patterns. The prominence of the Milky Way at that time, paralleling the River Nile, highlights a potential reason for selecting Giza as a sacred site. Furthermore, the use of megalithic structures and astronomical references to commemorate an ancient date, even if constructed 4,500 years ago, illustrates a deep cultural significance attributed to the past. However, the erosion patterns on the Sphinx introduce crucial questions regarding the timeline and construction of these monuments.
