The Great Pyramids of Giza or Gizeh in Egypt
The Egyptian Great Pyramids are probably the most recognised Wonder of the World in terms of the 7 Wonders of the World. Egyptian lore has fascinated the general public and almost every archealogical student the world over for dozens of years.
The search for hidden heiroglyphs and meaning in the unearthed heiroglyphs to date seems to send all and sundry on chases for dreams of uncovering the Great Kings of Egypts' tombs and sarcophicus' and inevatably the lost treasures buried beneath one of the biggest sandpits on earth.

The Great Pyramids of Giza
For whatever reason that the purpose for their construction arose, the pyramids remain one of the most massive feats ever accomplished by an ancient civilisation with what some would call the most primitive of building techniques.However, hidden amongst the layout of these pyramids and their internal layouts of aquaducts and chambers is possibly the most purposeful alignments in the order of the stars to which they are attributed and honoured.The Pyramids have been known to provide an exact reflection in time of the star constellation Orion.
The Great Pyramids and the Giza Plateau are situated only a few miles west of modern day Cairo and for 4500 years remained the tallest man made structure. The pyramids were commissioned by the then Kings of the fourth Dynasty around 2450 BCE.
The Great Pyramids are made up of 3 distinctly aligned pyramids known as the largest being the Pyramid of Khufu, the middle being the Pyramid of Khafre and the smallest in the row being the Pyramid of Menkaure. There are also eight smaller pyramids on the plateau which however do not fall into the classification of the Great Pyramids.
There is much speculation about the Egyptians ancients being a star gazing civilisation and much thought and research has been put in to their esoteric nature and relationship to symbolism in their drawings and sculpture.There remains many missing elements to most theorists' conjecture on the subject, but I have to say I do think there is some sort of relationship between their placement of structure in their city to that of the star constellations in orbit above Egypt
