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.

Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert`s book The Orion Mystery was published in 1994. There was a TV prog to promote the book.

It could just be coincidental, but the three pyramids at Giza DO correlate to the stars in the Orion belt, for position and relative brightness.

I can`t see how the siting of these three pyramids can be put down to geology or geography, as there was plenty of space elsewhere.

It`s not known why any of the pyramids are located where they are.
