- dylan604 4y agoYes, I should have remembered it being Orion. Just seeing your link reminded me how their theory said the pyramids were positioned along the Nile similar to how Orion is positioned to the Milky Way. Now I'm going to read the wiki link to see how my memory holds up. Edit: yup yup. The wiki link gave the name of the documentary, and of course it's on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfgRF1e66_8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfgRF1e66_8
- schrijver 4y agoMy history teacher made us watch this in high school when it just came out! She was very into it, at the point where the scholar who works for the Egyptian state starts voicing his criticisms she told us this was the response of a man afraid to loose his power :)
- dylan604 4y agoYeah, all of the naysayers were a bit off putting in a weird way to me about this. I understand it's a "new" idea (at the time), but it just seemed so dismissive. It's very compelling information, and a very interesting idea. The arguments against were not nearly as compelling to me.
