Pyramids of Gizeh and constellation of Orion

The correlation of Orion is a theory suggested by certain Egyptologists (like Selim Hassan) or archéo-astronomers (like Robert Bauval), according to which there would exist a correlation between the position of the Pyramides of Egypt and the position of stars, in particular between the three pyramids of the Nécropole of Gizeh (Pyramide of Khéops, Pyramide of Khéphren, Pyramide of Mykérinos) and the three central stars of the constellation of Orion (δ Orionis, ε Orionis and ζ Orionis) - constitutive of the Astérisme called cross-belt of Orion .

Presentation

According to this theory, the three large pyramids of the plate of Gizeh would be the representation of the cross-belt of Orion, namely Mintaka (δ Orionis), Alnilam (ε Orionis) and Alnitak (ζ Orionis). The the Nile would materialize the Milky Way and other pyramids would belong to this system. From an Egyptological point of view, this theory seeks a legitimacy in the fact that these stars were associated with Osiris, god of Mort and in addition to-world for the Egyptians of Antiquity. It finds toutrefois little echo in the scientific community, which finds many faults to him:

the position and the size of the pyramids (supposed being proportional to the size of stars) are too approximate;
It would be necessary to go up around the years - 10.500 so that the correlation is really correct, date corresponding to the moment when Orion is with lowest with respect to the cycle précessionnel;
the size and the position of the center of the pyramids evolved/moved during their developments: the current configuration thus does not represent that initially desired by the architects.

The theory of Robert Bauval

In 1994, Robert Bauval realizes that the three central stars of the constellation of Orion are positioned like the three pyramids of Gizeh, except for a very small shift. In addition, it shows that the the Nile is the reflection of the Milky Way, as if the builders had wanted to represent on the ground a kind of sky chart. With the assistance of an astronomical software (skyglob), it puts in perspective the sky such as it was at the time of Khéops, and carries out whereas the southern conduit of the room of the room of the king, of slope 45°, point on the cross-belt, at the moment when Orion is with most on the meridian line, while the northern conduit points him towards pole star of the time (α Draconis), and the southern conduit of the room of the queen (39° approximately) point on the star Sirius (α Canis Majoris). Thanks to more modern computers, it refines in that of the data already advanced by Virginia Trimble and Mary Bruck of the university of Edinburgh, in 1964.

Quite as astonishing, while still going up in time, it finds the exact position that the pyramids with the Nile have, and stars of the cross-belt with the Milky Way, 10.500 years front J. - C. Let us note that this date corresponds to the moment in Orion was with lowest in its cycle précessionnel.

Robert Bauval in addition seeks to show that two other pyramids could correspond to two stars of Orion, but the precision of the correlation is definitely less important than for the cross-belt

The theory of Georges Vermard

For Georges Vermard, the crossing of four stars of the quadrilateral (four stars around the cross-belt: α Orionis, γ Orionis, β Orionis and κ Orionis) form an angle of 52°, that of the Pyramid of Khéops. The author advances others " coïncidences" to support this correspondence enters the geometry of the constellation and that of the Large Pyramid.

Its theory presents the pyramid like a " computer minéral". By superimposing the drawing of the large pyramid to that of the constellation of Orion (and Sirius), it prepares a basic diagram, which, put on the scale of the pyramid, would make it possible to decode many universal data. It goes thus further that what Robert Bauval and others (Virginia Trimble for example) have already advanced on the Orion-Gizeh bond. " coïncidences" geometrical and numerical would be so numerous there, that the author affirms that not only the pyramid was built according to Orion, but that the position of same stars they is carrying these universal data.
