I was only joshin' !

Stella alignments are far more likely in most places than solar if you ask me (which you didn't, did you?)

The Great Pyramids are said to represent Orion's Belt quite acurately ... apparently.

What would be impressive is that on a particular day (when Orion was low) you could get the stars of the belt to sit atop a three stone alignment - one per stone like ickle twinkly crowns. Then I think you'd have something.

I saw a program a while back (or I could have read it in a book) about stella/Pyramid theories. My memory of it is poor but it seems someone had suggested that the layout of tombs across Egypt mirrored the stars including the pyramids/Orion's Belt alignment. The upshot of the program was that yes, you could roughly match up the stars with some of the tombs, but that there were many other tombs that didn't fit the plan- the theory had been based on some very selective evidence.
Also the pyramids at Giza didn't match Orion's Belt either and their setting was more due to the geology/geography of the area.
Which is a shame really.
