Being new to the subject of Ancient Egyptian Monuments, the explanations of the Giza and Abu Sir “diagonals” offered from Dr. Giulio Magli were most interesting.
What I just learned and find especially compelling:
*The sight-line from Heliopolis to the Giza pyramids forces the two smaller pyramids into and behind the Great Pyramid; a pattern repeated at Abu Sir — speaks volumes about their angled placements, relative to each other.
*Both sites exhibit the same property of their diagonals pointing to Heliopolis — along with other monuments, this practically eliminates coincidence.
His theory combining practical construction considerations with topological order, chronological order, religious beliefs, and inter-visibility/symbolic-visibility with Heliopolis, makes a compelling case about the placement and orientations of these ancient monuments.
Those were enjoyable and interesting reads — thank you Dr. Heiser for linking them.
you bet.
