Pyramids aren't even unique; plenty of civilizations [2] figured it out.
The Giza Pyramids are aligned to the cardinal directions [1] which is something that is done(ish) fairly often nowendays. Muslims often have their houses point towards Mecca [3] which requires you to build a house at a specific cardinal direction after determining it.
You're going to have to provide the special cosmic alignment, Wikipedia mentions Orion [4] as a theory and certainly we can build buildings today 3 in a diagonal line. We can definitely measure the location of the stars in Orion's constellation now better than before. But also keep in mind there are a gazillion stars in the galaxy, any 3 buildings are going to match up with some subset of them.
