Lets stick to the facts of what I have said and not make up things, O.K.?
I never claimed that the GP was a power plant.
I never said anything about the other pyramids.
I never said it wasn't easy to calculate pi with a circle and string.
How many 450+ foot buildings can be used to calculate pi? Or that accomplish what is called "squaring the circle" in geometry?
There were no hieroglypics in the Great Pyramid that I can recall reading about.
There were no burials in the Great Pyramid.
There are several NSEW orientations for sure but that doesn't stop us from using one to orient buildings etc. One of them is used to site the pyramid. If you care which check Piazza Smith, the Astronomer Royal of Scotland.
The entire Giza complex is sited to represent a constellation.

I'd love to just stick to the facts, unfortunately this thread was started by mislabeled science fiction sans facts. The original poster says it's a power plant, I said it's clearly not, you attacked me. Seems pretty natural that you'd be defending his position. Since apparantly you have your OWN crackpot theory do tell. Of course that's requiring you to violate your own request since you'll be making things up.
Who cares what buildings you can calculate pi with? Like I said, you can do it with pen and paper, the "fact" that you can apparently do it with the Great Pyramid of Giza is completely meaningless and uninteresting. Feces occurs.
YOU say there were no burials in the pyramid in question. Egyptian history says otherwise. I beleive them.
Why should I research YOUR foolish assertions? You're making the assertions YOU provide the proof. Do your own research. Which one does the pyramid supposedly line up on? Which one do building in America supposedly line up on (I'll give you the answer to that one... NONE, we just lay out our grid by the surrounding territory and build)? Of course then you have another problem, since our building are lined up (on each local grid, not on any of the norths) to the best of our ability to measure just how exactly do you measure that the pyramids are better lined up than we can do? You can't. If we could measure that precise we'd build that precise, since according to you we don't build that precise then ipso facto we CANNOT measure that precise and therefor we cannot know the pyramids are built to a higher level of precision.
Oh great now you throw in more silly garbage. Which constellation? Does it match the constellation now or when the pyramid was built (yes the constellations don't remain constant due to many many reasons that are painfully obvious, they still maintain their general shape, but not exact positions)? And why does it matter, people could see the stars then, the pyramids were built in the time period when many of the constellations were getting their names, why WOULDN'T Egyptians (who were big into celestial bodies) lay stuff out to match the stars? The stars were home to some gods, the Pharoahs were gods, seems like a pretty natural match to me.
Facts people. You woovie groovies are big in goofball assertions but the closest you can come to actually laying down facts is telling me which chuckle head to look up. Gimme sited quotes, lay out ACTUAL facts. Not gibberjabber from people that hang out with clowns that think the world ended 2 years ago, FACTS.
