Another question, why was the orion belt also important to the pre-Columbian cultures in the Americas?
Was it also agricultural?

Thanks for the reply.
Don't you think it's a bit too much of a coincidence that the great pyramid complex is patterned after orion just like Anasazi villages?
Ancient Americas, irregardless of latitude. seemed to have a special interest in Orion.
These continents are on the opposite sides of the world but its ancient cultures have a similar obsession with pyramids also.
(It makes me go, "wtf.")
Why is that?edit on 10-12-2013 by reject because: (no reason given)
D: As far as the pyramids being modeled after Orion's belt there is no evidence to confirm this ...
D: ...and i can say there is an easier explanation of why there similar.
First as Mr Crighton pointed out the southeast corners do indeed line up. I dont believe this was an accident at all. If Menkhaurs pyramid were bigger close to the same as the other two you would have seen them in a straight diagonal line in perfect north south east directions. The reason we see this bend like Orion's belt is Menkhaur could not make a pyramid that big resources became a problem.
D: This is obvious from the fact it was never completed it.
D: So looking at them they would have been the same distance apart from each other and point in the 4 cardinal directions this was important thats why they were staggered the way they were. Cant have one pyramid blocking another can we?
D: So if they were all relatively the same size we would be marveling at how accurately the plotted a straight line though the pyramids instead of just the south east corner.

Hello Dragonridr,
D: As far as the pyramids being modeled after Orion's belt there is no evidence to confirm this ...
SC: Many trillions to one against such an outcome occurring is proof beyond reasonable doubt that the three Gizamids were designed with Orion’s Belt as the underlying ‘template’. If you doubt this then I suggest you attempt The Challenge I set you earlier. A few days or weeks attempting that challenge and you will quickly realise the near impossibility of the Gizamid proportions (i.e. its geo-stellar fingerprint) matching the Belt star asterism that they present to us. And yet it is there for us to see and so we must conclude that this was no accident; it was intentional design using Orion’s Belt (no other visible star asterism will work).
And it is not merely the main pyramids that invoke the use of Orion’s Belt—the two sets of so-called ‘Queens Pyramids’ present to us the two unique moments of the max and min precessional cycle of Orion’s Belt. And then to then find that the so-called ‘Lehner-Goedicke Line’ ‘connects’ these two culminations is simply beyond the realms of random chance. It is all carefully planned, deliberate design we are observing here.

Maybe the pyramid is very old and was emptied prior to Khufu (my belief) and Khufu just adopted it as an abandoned building. There is nothing saying it can't be dated to remote antiquity. People have been thieving since they were swinging in the trees. Whatever was in there when it was built was long gone by the time Khufu commissioned work on it.

He there,
Great debate, although sometimes too emotional. I'm actually learning a lot from both sides of the fence.
But I should say Egyptian egyptologists are the main responsible for this endless miths, quarrels and conjectures:
The GP is THE most important construction of ancient (and present) times. Did they REALLY studied it inside out? i mean, REALLY? No, they didn't and that Hideous Dr. Hawass was mostly responsible for that.
How many DNA tests were madr so far? How many non intrusive ground penetrating and Sound radar (or whatever, you got the point) on the GP were denied? Many.
The Research within the GP is far from satisfactory so far. It's actually quite pathetic.
To be honest, the Egyptologists also lack solid proof.
I believe the Miths increase Tourism and bring money in, more then any twist in science.
And what happened to the Shafts?

oh wow...mr. Creighton, you are an actual expert on the great pyramid who used to believe it was not even 5,000 years old but now entertains the possibility it is 20,000 years old?
Diodorus did claim the Egyptians of his time, 1st century bc, didn't know who really built it; and, along with Herodotus, said it wasn't where Khufu is buried.
Going by popular culture alone, based on the movie "10,000 BC," just going back a little over half as far as your time frame, prehistoric primitive man had no capabilities to build something like that.
At best, there were very small individual tribes at just 10,000 BC. Gobekli Tepe, maybe; but its builders didn't even want to leave a trace they were ever there for some reason so they buried it.
But the Great Pyramid being 20,000 years old? How?
I can't even begin to imagine the horrors of building that thing 5,000 years ago; how they amassed all those workers and how even larger their army must have been to keep those people working and not uniting in revolution.

I see you never been a farmer do you know how popular the farmers almanac is? Its only job tell farmers in each area when to plant and harvest.This is why knowing when the floods ends and when the ground was ready is kinda important or they starve . See december 15th was the 2nd month of peret this is when they could plant crops. After the nile flood has sufficiently disappeared. and there growing season started. Now technically yeah they could wait risk planting to late to get maximum yield at harvest but that means some people may go hungry. This was just there way of maximizing the amount of food they could produce and also a good time for a celebration. You know sort of like thanksgiving this whole holiday is just when farmers had to have their crops done by.
