excerpt:
Extract from the Edgar Brothers - The line of the Descending passage is not directed upward to the very pole of the heavens, but to a point which is 3° 42' below it. As the total length of the passage from the outer surface of the original casing-stones, is fully 345 feet, and the height from floor to roof under four feet, it follows that the angle of view which one may obtain of the heavens from the lower end of the passage, does not exceed 1 1/3° Hence any star nearer than 3°, or further away than 4 1/3° from the celestial pole, cannot be seen from the lower extremity of the descending passage.
[denotes Great Pyramid/T Bird abridged]
Other Egyptian pyramids with 'polar-passages' include: Khafre's, Menkaure's, The Meidum, The 'Bent' and 'Red' pyramids of Snoferu, and the Mastaba 'Fara Un'. We can conclude that the alignment to the polar passage was an important feature of Early Dynasty Pyramid building and is therefore of the utmost importance in dating the Great pyramid of Giza.

Hello Thomas
These early/first phase constructions with star field passages....
the ones listed above could be from beyond 10,000 bc
in my thinking....its a program/attempt to record via the stellar cartography.
....is it...Lets try this again over here.....
or the evidence of combined site records of field view under a program.
......the Ancient ones where said to be of giant stature,
we have the rich mytholore of Giants and the pre/post age of the pole star fall/catastrophism.
who is doing the stellar cartography?
we like to think its us....we might be wrong in that conclusion.
mystery...mystery : )
