Not sure what you are driving at but just look at the RB has had to endure over the years for just postulting the OCT? He did have a grander version that tried to explain the location of all the pyramids but that, apparently, has been falsified.

Any theory of Giza that ascribes astronomical knowledge, let alone knowledge of geometry, to the AE brings out an almost violent reaction among orthodox Egyptologists.

There was a professor from the University of Chicago who suspected that the AE were aware of precession. But she had to almost make her arguments in code and denounce GH and RB for using her work to bolster their arguments.

Sir J. N. Lockyer, KCB, FRS (arguably one of the finest scientists of the 19th century) was but literally told, 'cobbler stick to they lack' for daring to suggest that AE civilization not only knew of precession but was perhaps much older than suspected.

Owen Gingerich, an Astronomy Professor at Harvard, has publically stated that the only way to align the GP to the cardinal points with such precision is to use astronomical methods -- methods not known to man until the 16th Century (Tycho Brahe). Yet, the orthodox will say that they AE could have done it with sticks and stones and besides alignemnt doesn't prove intent.
