Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java(tm). I know, I know, I should not mock this subject! However, there are so many different "theories" on how and why the pyramids were built, that I find it difficult to believe any of them. Sure, they all have their mathematics and their astronomy links - but couldn't we all make something up along these lines if we had a good enough imagination?? Oh, well, perhaps one of the following (links) holds the answers. One thing is sure though - they can't all be right - can they?!?! THE HUB'S FAVE! The Orion Theory You get the drift I should think! The Pyramids are supposedly lined up with the stars of Orion's Belt. Well, nice idea - and it (kinda) fits - but WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?!?! Well, for the answer to this and lots of others puzzlers, visit this site. Orion's my favourite constellation; so easily picked out in the sky! And Betelgeuse! Fabulous!! So vast that its size is beyond our comprehension! And wasn't Zaphod Beeblebrox born there?!!? (Visit my Hitchhiker's Page!!!) MORE TO GET YOU AMUSED (erm sorry - I meant AMAZED! :) The hub has a really hard time of it what with me . . . my Dad . . . our sons . . . !!!) Deep Secrets The Great Pyramid, The Golden Ratio and The Royal Cubit. Loads and loads of sums!! The Philosopher's Stone Recovering the Perennial Paradigm. It says here: "Share the excitement of Mr. Pietsch's dicoveries in this new intallment". More sums!!! The Pyramid. Dedicated to the proposition that the Great Pyramid is a rational (in the mathematical sense) structure, designed and built by normal people. I tell you, this fella is dead serious with very large sums!! Why exactly would they not have been *normal* people?!?! The Giza Complex incorporates a vanishing point in its design. The Noise Room. An Archaeo-astronomy & Egyptology section with news and articles by Robert Bauval, Graham Hancock... (crop circles too!!) Are Pyramids Made Out of Concrete? Despite the subject, this is more like it. Science Applied to Archaeology, as opposed to maths/astronomy applied to the imagination. A very neat tidy collection of pages. Wind, Pyramids & Obelisks. The use of wind in antiquarian construction. One of my favourites!! I cannot make out if this bloke is serious! Experiments using a toy obelisk; a 400 pound concrete obolisk; a kite - and he says things like, "got a nice tan"!! The Great Pyramid as Proof of God Letters From The Cosmos Alien Pyramids - were they built by extraterrestrials?? Despite the link leading to yet more of the Orion Theory, not working - this is a cool page! Great sound effects even! A massive UFO freak obviously! A theory according to which the Great Pyramid would be a huge water pump. Oh, I can't go on!! Perhaps I might do more later! (Especially the link to the lady who is friends with the fairies, which, very unfortunately, I cannot find right now).
