That is the question of all mankind when standing in front of this great work!

For centuries, the pyramids of Giza in Egypt have baffled modern researchers - not just the underground chambers and mysteries surrounding them, but also how the ancient Egyptians got there. It is possible to build such impressive structures without modern technology.

One of the most puzzling problems is how the three largest pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex align so perfectly.

At the Giza pyramid complex, the three largest pyramids, Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, are not only perfectly aligned on the ground, but they are also aligned with the 3 lumbar stars of the constellation Orion. And that drives modern scientists crazy.

Overall, the square sides of the three largest pyramids of Giza line up almost perfectly along the East-West direction.

American archaeologist and engineer Glen Dash explained in a study published in the Journal of Ancient Egyptian Architecture in 2017 that: "The people who built the pyramids of Gize thousands of years ago were adjust the great pyramid to key points with an accuracy of more than 4 minutes of angle, or 0.06 degrees".

In fact, Egypt's three largest pyramids of Giza all align dramatically, in a way you wouldn't think you'd see from an era without drones, blueprints, and maps. computer graphics.

While many theories exist about how the ancient Egyptians did this by using the pole star to arrange the pyramids, or the shadow of the Sun - modern scientists have never clear on how they work.

SECRETS DISCOVERED?

Glen Dash came up with another, simpler idea. His research suggests that the Egyptians some 4,500 years ago may have used the equinox to achieve that perfect alignment.

The equinox is considered to be the time of the year that occurs twice a year (the Spring and Autumnal equinoxes), when the plane of the Earth's equator passes through the center of the Sun's disk, and the relative lengths of day and night equal.

The equinox measurements were previously considered a method of alignment that could be... omitted, as it was assumed that it would not provide sufficient accuracy. But research by Glen Dash has shown that there is one way that using equinox can work - that is using gnomon - the sundial column.

To discover this, Glen Dash actually ran his own experiment, starting on the first day of the 2016 Fall equinox - which falls on September 22, 2016 - and used a gnomon to generate a shadow.

The archaeologist tracks the shadow's point at regular intervals, forming a smooth curve connecting the points. And at the end of the day, with a stretch of rope wrapped around the pole, Glen Dash intercepted two points of the curve and created a near-perfect line running east-west.

This is also known as the Indian circle method. Glen Dash shows that the degree of error is similar to the small error found in the alignment of the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure at Giza.

The trial was conducted in Connecticut, USA, but Glen Dash said the same would work in Egypt.

In fact, all the ancient Egyptians needed to align the pyramids on a clear, sunny day, explains Glen Dash. He added that the Egyptians were able to calculate the Autumn equinox by counting 91 days later from the summer solstice.

Although the study of the American archaeologist devoted to Egyptian pyramid studies shows that this technique can be used to align the alignment of the pyramids, we still do not have a any solid evidence that the ancient Egyptians did so.

"Unfortunately, the Egyptians left us with very few clues. There are no technical documents or architectural manuscripts that offer technical explanations proving how the ancient Egyptians aligned any of them. any of their temples or pyramids," wrote Glen Dash.

While we may never know what really happened, this hypothesis makes an interesting point - that something as simple as mapping the shadow during the Fall equinox can be sophisticated enough. to arrange some of mankind's most recognizable ancient structures.

MYSTERY CHALLENGE A MODERN Scientist

The 3 largest pyramids of the Giza pyramid complex are not only perfectly aligned, the population also has perfect features with the Earth and the universe.

- First, the Giza pyramid complex is located exactly on the coordinates of the intersection of the longest latitude and longitude in the world. This means that the pyramid of Giza is located at the center of the continent on Earth - According to the American theologian Joseph Seiss (1823-1904).

- Second, the Giza pyramid complex; "Silent Zone" (in Mexico); and the Bermuda "Devil's Triangle" (Western Atlantic Ocean) lie in a straight line on Earth. History Channel (USA) calls it a mysterious triplet.

- Thirdly, at the Giza pyramid complex, the three largest pyramids, Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, are aligned with the 3 lumbar stars of the constellation Orion.

- Fourth, according to astronomers, the Giza pyramid complex is oriented towards the north pole of the Earth. So far, although it was built thousands of years ago, it is the most standard north pole building in the world.
