Getting back to the Docs OP

If the consensus of opinion on which method was used to orient G1 was via some sort of Solar or star alignment , then that would imply they had to use specific times of the year , the equinoctial times, pole star , Sirius , etc etc.

If in the first instance the preparation for a pyramid was to have a flat base , and perform the stretching of the cord , how would they have done that with G1, being they left that natural mound in the middle.

Does the so called Trial passage indicate they used a different method .

This so called Trial passage is nothing of the sorts, in my opinion it was the first attempt to build G1, for whatever reason they stopped work, probably after two months of hard labour, if you read what Petrie had to say about its dimensions you soon realize by its almost exact dimensions of the now existing pyramid that it was meant to have gone on to form the full pyramid, <[www.ronaldbirdsall.com];

Getting back to the orientation, the original start of G1 at the so called Trial passage began with work of the descending passage, so right from the get go the orientation was set out by digging down into the ground at some 26 + degrees, that may imply some sort of Star alignment, again that would also imply a specific time of the year.

But then after two months of very hard work in digging out and aligning the descending passage they downed tools and started all over again some 200 feet further North West, so my question is, if the initial work on the first descending passage was synchronized with a specific time of the year, did they sit around for some 10 months waiting for that specific time of the year to appear again, i feel not, it then implies they had some other very accurate method of finding True North.
