specifically..

Interestingly, the inherent conflict between stellar alignments and geometrical requirements was recognised and countered over sixty years ago by Albert Neuburger, who put forward the theory that the southern shafts in the Great Pyramid were aligned towards the brightly shining star Sirius - while also being arranged at right-angles to the sides of the pyramid. According to Neuburger: 'The four planes of the pyramid were inclined in such a way that the rays of Sirius when culminating fell on the southern plane, hit it exactly at right angles, and passed straight through the ventilating shafts, which also met the plane of the pyramid perpendicularly, into the sepulchral vault, lighting up the sarcophagus of the dead pharaoh.' [19] "Since at the time of Khufu, as Neuburger noted, Sirius culminated with an altitude of about 38� when observed from the latitude of Giza, an alignment would only have been possible with the southern shaft from the Queen's Chamber; but since this shaft was closed at both ends, it is equally clear that light from Sirius could never have penetrated into the chamber, nor have fallen on the king's sarcophagus. The conclusion that the shafts intersected the sides of the pyramid exactly at right-angles must, in any case, now be revised in the light of Gantenbrink's data, as we will see below. "

it was only left for someone to formulate a theory that Would support a stellar purpose for the shafts.

and let's face it..at it's core Bauval's OCT makes astronomical( :D ) assumptions about AE beliefs.

I still remember the original TV presentation where he had attendants carrying poor khufu all over the GP and inserting his penis into a Hole that DID NOT EXIST until little over a hundred years ago!!
