Gizza Pyramidas and Taurus constellation
Vladan Pankovic, Milan Mrdjen, Miodrag Krmar

TL;DR
This study uses astronomical software to analyze Giza pyramids, revealing that their edges align with sunrise on October 28 and Taurus constellation appears at the eastern horizon on the same day, suggesting possible ancient astronomical significance.
Contribution
It introduces a novel application of freely available software to identify specific solar and celestial alignments with Giza pyramids, indicating potential ancient astronomical knowledge.
Findings
Pyramids' apex-to-base vertices align with sunrise on October 28.
Taurus constellation appears at eastern horizon during sunset on the same day.
Alignment suggests possible intentional astronomical design.
Abstract
In this work we apply generalized A. Sparavigna method (use of freely available softwares (programs), e.g. http://www.sollumis.com/, http://suncalc.net/#/44.557,22.0265,13/2014.12.29/09:22, http://universimmedia.pagesperso-orange.fr/geo/loc.htm, http://www.spectralcalc.com/solar_calculator/solar_position.php and http://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/Yourhorizon) for analysis of possible astronomical characteristics of three remarkable Giza, i.e. Cheops, Chephren and Mikerin pyramids. Concretely, we use mentioned programs for determination of the Giza plateau longitude and latitude, moments of the sunrise and sunset for any day at the Giza plateau, and, simulation of the sky horizon above Giza plateau in any moment of any day, respectively. In this way we obtain a series of the figures which unambiguously imply the following original results. Any of three remarkable Giza pyramids (Cheops,…
