The mystery of the Pyramids
The breathtaking accuracy and alignment of the Pyramids at Giza have given rise to much theorizing.
The pyramid’s base, which has sides over 756 feet (230 m) long, is level to within l inch (2.6 cm), and the greatest difference in the length of the four sides is just 2 inches (5.2 cm)-a margin of error of less than 0.2 percent.
Khufu’s pyramid is laid out with its sides oriented to within just three degrees of true north.
Another striking statistic: The southeast corners of the three main pyramids line up on an exact diagonal. Such phenomenal precision in such ancient structures inspires many pyramid enthusiasts to look for more alignments. always with the suspicion of hidden greater meanings and possible treasures.
