All this work has long been done. All four shafts align to those four targets at the same time. There are no other plausible targets within reach of those shafts and in any case, it's the combination of all four alignments which matters to make this a slam dunk case, not any shaft's alignment individually. The theological significance of Sirius, Alnitak, and Kochab are well described, no need for me to rehash all this. The alignment of the shafts, as Robert Bauval has explained, well corroborates the time of construction of the G.P. in the 25th century B.C. and argues against these being air shafts.

The main target in ursa major was Alkaid the "hoof star" of the khepsh, the ox leg which we know from decan tables is a how the ancient Egyptians viewed the big dipper...mesekhtiu. I was in King Tut's chamber two weeks ago and you couldn't have a better view of this identity in the wall art....there is an adze lying right on top of an ox leg in front of the mummy of the king. So big dipper = ox leg = adze.

For example, if you recreate the early morning sky in the early 27th century B.C. at the time of the heliacal rising of Sirius, you see that Alkaid ("Ak") is at azimuth about 4 degrees 35 minutes east of due north which is exactly where the two holes in the Serdab leaning against the north face point...needless to say the altitude is spot on as well....16 degrees 30 minutes. Meanwhile the north star was alpha-draconis, Thuban. This is all Robert Bauval's work, I am merely reminding you of what's long been done. Plus I just confirmed this again using my astrolabe and am staring at the alignment as I write this.
