Archeologist Claims To Have Finally Solved Pyramid Mystery

There is no doubt that the Pyramids of Giza are the most iconic pyramids on the planet, nevermind in Egypt. These majestic, ancient structures are located about eight miles away from Cairo, the country's capital. However, it's not just pyramids that make up this iconic region of the world. They are also accompanied by the Great Sphinx, as well as a cluster of cemeteries and even a village. However, that's just scratching the surface of this mysterious complex...

Probably the most puzzling conundrum that has left Egyptologists stumped for so long is how the Egyptians managed to perfectly align the pyramids the way they did. It is known as The Pyramid Diagonal. The pyramids line up in a way that each pyramid's southeastern corner can be connected by a diagonal line. That's not all though. That line carries on all the way to the Temple of Heliopolis, which is on the other side of the River Nile!

One archeologist by the name of Glen Dash believes that he has finally unlocked the secret behind the Pyramid Diagonal. With so much experience in archeology and all things Egypt, it seems like Dash's breakthroughs might be worth trusting. Dash is based in Connecticut and has worked as an archeologist for nearly half a century. In 1996, Dash established the Glen Dash Foundation of Archaeological Research. Also, he has spent a lot of time in Giza.

After years of intense research and hard work, Glen Dash believes that he knows what the Egyptians did to achieve such a perfect alignment between the three Pyramids. Building up to his discovery, Dash looked at all the techniques that this ancient civilization may have used to construct the Pyramid Diagonal. After a process of elimination, all of the studies that Dash carried out ultimately led him to the same conclusion. He believes he knows the exact method they used all those years ago...

Of course, the archeologist in question isn't the only person to devise a convincing theory about how the Egyptian's Pyramids were so well aligned. In 2000, Cambridge University's Kate Spence published an article through the Nature journal with her own theory. According to Spence, the Egyptians built the Pyramids of Giza on a north-south axis. The builders created this axis using the stars Mizar and Kochab. However, there is one other theory that has been even more popular over the years...
