140 "The alignment of the Pyramids of Giza on the ground matches perfectly the alignment of the constellation of Orion as seen in the sky from Giza. "(Robert) Bauval is specifically known for the Orion Correlation Theory (OCT. This proposes a relationship between the fourth dynasty Egyptian pyramids of the Giza Plateau and the alignment of certain stars in the constellation of Orion. One night, while working in Saudi Arabia, he took his family and a friend's family up into the sand dunes of the Arabian desert fora camping expedition. His friend pointed out Orion, and mentioned that Mintaka, the smaller more easterly of the stars making up Orion's belt was offset slightly from the others. Bauval then made a connection between the layout of the three main stars in Orion's belt and the layout of the three main pyramids in the Giza necropolis" -- Reference Wikipedia.org back to 140)
