Some Extraordinary Facts About The Great Pyramid ...
Recently I wrote a joke post about aliens building the pyramids (because I love science fiction) and recently I came across this site which suggests that aliens did build the great pyramid of Giza. Now I'm not sure that I believe that however some of the facts are extraordinary.
For example:
"The positioning of the three Pyramids of Giza are exactly aligned with the position of the three stars in the belt of Orion, both in position and in size. At the time that the pyramids were supposedly built (about 3000 BC) the stars that make up the Belt of Orion were not exactly at the correct angle to match up with the pyramids."
"If you take the perimeter of the great pyramid and divide it by two times the height you get a number that is exactly equivalent to the number pi (3.14159...) up to the fifteenth digit. Pi was not calculated accurately to the fourth digit until the 6th century and the pyramids calculate it to the fifteenth."
"The sides of the base of the pyramid are some 757 feet long and it still forms an almost perfect square. Every angle in the base is exactly 90 degrees. In fact the sides have a difference in length of something like two centimetres which is an incredibly small amount."
"The height of the pyramid (481 feet) is almost exactly 1/1,000,000,000 of the distance from the earth to the sun (480.6 billion feet)."

So what's your opinion? Did aliens build the pyramids? (Personally I doubt it.) And if not how on earth did the ancient Egyptians calculate to the number pi to the 15th digit?
