If anyone is going to make a connection to Orion then go the whole hog and explain the pyramids were built at least 10000yrs before the above 2600yrs, and that all the pyramids combined show a map, with the 3 great pyramids corresponding to Orions belt.

There is also much evidence to show that the largest pyramid was functioning as some sort of power station, Christopher Dunn does a great job in explaining how and why this is.
To quote Akragon:
"I would assume they would have something better to do then to watch our pathetic species destroy ourselves."

The connection is undeniable, in my opinion
Much has been made observation that the three pyramids on the Giza plateau appear slightly mis-aligned. They are not on a straight line. Since we marvel at the mathematical perfection of the early Egyptians, this has bothered investigators. Thus when in 1993 Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert in their bestselling book The Orion Mystery saw the three 'belt' stars of Orion as defining the ground-plan of the Giza Pyramids the theory was met with cautious enthusiasm. However, not all were convinced by the "Orion Correlation Theory" (OCT), as it became known. The alignment wasn't "perfect" but it was close enough for many Egyptologists. But not for Andrew Collins.
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker Okay, there is lots of actual scientific evidence to prove this from many different disciplines that Zawi Hawass and the rest of the archeological community are flat refusing to accept because it means they would have to rewrite history, and they also have a whole load of academic snobbery to contend with. I'll quickly name a few. I think it was Graham Hanckock who first proposed the theory of star alignment to the great ancient sites (pyramids, macchu picchu, etc). Basically the pyramids were once aligned exactly with orions belt, etc. He showed that the Sphinx was aligned directly with the constellation Leo, in the AGE of Leo at around 10,500 BCE. Although the zodiac and the names associated with it as we know it is relatively modern, the Lion imagery is very ancient. This HAS to be more than just coincedence. The head of the Sphinx is obviously a modern recarving of a previously much larger head, there is plenty of evidence to disprove the traditional Khafre head theory that Egyptologists keep sticking to. As with previous theories and pure logic (with it being a lions body and the fact many other ancient sphinx has a lions or animal head) many people think this was the head of a Lion. Weather erosion is the most important evidence. There is erosion on the sphinx that geologists have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that could only have been caused by water precipitation (ie rain erosion). The last time Egypt was a tropical area with rain was after the last ice age (up to around 10,000 BCE). It is funny that after the geologists and other scientists found this they were kicked off the site by the council of antiquities and never allowed back on. 4 years ago
Hundreds of kilometers south of the Sphinx, exist Nubia, in what is today called Sudan. Apedemek, "the lord of royal power," was a Nubian lion god, and at the Apedemek Temple at Naqa, south of Meroe, relief's show Apedmek worshiped by the royal family. The kings were always seated upon lion thrones. Temple relief's show the enemies of the king subdued by, and in some cases devoured by, lions. It has been stated that lions were kept in the Lion Temple, as living symbols of Apedemek. Interestingly, research has revealed that the worship of the ancient Egyptian lioness goddess, Sekhmet, could have been originally introduced into Egypt from Sudan. One wonders what other leonine-related mysteries exist unrevealed and unknown at the sites of the civilization of Nubia.
The lion of ancient times was also a symbol of wisdom. King Solomon was at times symbolized as a lion. In first Book of Kings (10: 19-20) Solomon's throne is described: "The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays [handrests] on either side on the place of the seat and two lions stood beside the stays. And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps there was not the like made in any kingdom." The lion was the emissary of the sun, symbolizing light, truth, regeneration, and a god of fertility.

No, it is your own claim that is total rubbish, of course.

No, they show the three of spades on a deck of "Bicycle" playing cards.
Just as true as your inanity. Please, is that the best you can do ?
You have a nerve to call me inane, however you failed miserably in every conceivable way to actually back up your insults, so pray tell me, how is my claim that of total rubbish ?? LOL...
