Navel of the World or Stargate?

The Argument over the Real Purpose of the Giza Pyramids Rages On

BY FRANK JOSEPH

The Great Pyramid has been many things to many people. Most
Egyptologists are certain it is nothing more than the tomb of a
megalomaniacal king. Less mainstream researchers are convinced it
is a time capsule. Still, others conclude it is an observatory of some kind. A
modern proponent of the Great Pyramid’s astronomical significance is the

famous construction engineer, Robert Bauval. He argues that the pyramidbuilders

oriented it to the Belt of Orion (Osiris, to the Egyptians) around
2450 BC. This is some 200 years later than majority scientific opinion
claims the structure was built, a conclusion that went against the grain of
conventional and unconventional researchers alike. According to Bauval,
the placement and alignment of all three Giza pyramids were part of their
function as funerary temples, in which the soul of the deceased pharaoh
became identified with an immortal star in the heavens. He conjectures an
elaborate ceremony, during which the royal mummy was transported from
one astral alignment to another. His speculation

is grounded in original source materials, such as Utterance Number 245 in The Pyramid Texts addressed to the would-be pharaoh: “Assume your place in heaven among the stars, for you are a solitary star, a companion of the Great Sphinx. You shall look down upon Osiris while he commands the spirits, yet you are apart from him, and not among them.”
