are the number of hidden passageways and the burial chamber of the Pharaoh. It is the largest
single structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true
north, south, east and west-an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun
worshippers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on
astronomical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting
lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events – past,
present and future. . Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known
facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and are currently under
investigation. Many believe that pyramids have supernatural powers and this one is no exception.
