The position of the pyramids: a bridge between heaven and earth

What if the greatest monuments of Antiquity had been built... to reflect the stars?
For thousands of years, the three pyramids of Giza have intrigued researchers, archaeologists and history enthusiasts. Their precise alignment raises a fascinating question: is it an architectural coincidence, or a message engraved in stone to survive the ages?

🪐 A mirror of the cosmos

For the Egyptians, the sky was a sacred book. The stars were not mere points of light, but divine messengers.
Building the pyramids meant anchoring the sky to Earth — fixing the cosmic order in stone to ensure harmony between gods and men.

📜 Orion and Osiris

According to several hypotheses, the layout of the pyramids of Cheops, Chephren and Mycerinus reproduces the three stars of Orion's Belt.
In Egyptian mythology, Orion was associated with the god Osiris, ruler of the underworld and symbol of rebirth. The alignment was therefore not a simple technical gesture, but a highly spiritual act, connecting the deceased pharaoh to celestial eternity.

🔭 A remarkable alignment

Modern measurements confirm that the orientation of the pyramids is astonishingly accurate: their axes are almost perfectly aligned with the cardinal points, and their position on the plateau corresponds strikingly to the three stars of Orion.
While some researchers see this as a coincidence, others see it as evidence of advanced astronomical knowledge, passed down through generations of sky observers.

✨ Science and legend intersect

The story of the alignment of the pyramids illustrates an essential point: beliefs can be drivers of scientific discovery.
In seeking to draw closer to the divine, the Egyptians implemented techniques of observation, measurement and construction that still defy our modern capabilities.

🌌 Building with meaning

Today, our cities are often built without any connection to the sky or natural cycles. What if we reinvented the way we build so that it reflects, as it once did, our place in the universe?
Aligning our creations with the stars would be a poetic gesture... but also a reminder that we are part of a larger whole.
