The Star Shafts

The best way to understand the star shafts is to understand what I will call the "Gap Angle". For each chamber, the Gap Angle is the angle between the North and South star shafts. There are therefore two Gap Angles and they differ by only 1°: the Kings Chamber star shafts have a Gap Angle of 102.5° and the Queens Chamber star shafts have a Gap Angle of 101.5°. This small difference is very significant. Due to the Earth's wobble (Precession) the Gap Angle between the meridian crossing of our two referenced stars (Zeta Orionis and Alpha Draconis) continually changes. Any specific Gap Angle marks a specific time in history and this is how the Egyptians have shown us the timing of these catastrophic impacts (10,400 BC). The chart below tracks the Gap Angle between the meridian crossing of Zeta Orionis and Alpha Draconis back through time.

Each pair of star shafts are marking the two points where a northern star (Alpha Draconis) and a southern star (Zeta Orionis) cross their Meridian Line. This Meridian line is the line that would be centered directly above Giza's position on Earth and extend to two points on the horizon, one that is directly South and one that is directly North. These two stars (and all stars) daily cross this Meridian Line because the Earth is spinning. In the view presented here, both the King's and the Queen's star shafts mark these same two stars as seen from Giza but at two different times in history. These two different times in history each had a specific Gap Angle for our referenced stars and these are the two Gap Angles represented by the Kings and Queens chambers.

Robert Bauval has shown that the layout of the pyramids on the ground most closely mirrors the position of the stars in the constellation Orion as they would have been seen in 10,400BC and it is known that this date had great significance in the ancient Egyptian culture. It was the sacred "First Time". So, if the position of the Queens Chamber within The Great Pyramid represents Giza's pre-impact position at 16° N. Latitude in 10,400 BC then it would make sense that the star shafts of the Queens Chamber would be marking Zeta Orionis and Alpha Draconis in 10,400 BC as viewed from 16° N. Latitude in 10,400BC. This is not difficult to determine, in 10,400 BC there was only one latitude on Earth from which Zeta Orionis and Alpha Draconis could have been viewed from at the angles indicated by the Queen's Chamber star shafts. Because of the curvature of the Earth, the same stars would appear at different angles from different latitudes. We should therefore first determine what latitude on Earth Zeta Orionis and Alpha Draconis had to be viewed from in 10,400BC so that they crossed directly north and south at the angles indicated by the star shafts in the Queens Chamber (was it 16 degrees N.?).

Using the Skyglobe program it quickly becomes clear that you would have only viewed Zeta Orionis at 39.5° and Alpha Draconis at 39° in 10,400BC from a point on 2° N. Latitude. Incredibly, and of the utmost importance, this latitude is also marked within The Great Pyramid. The ascending and descending passages intersect at a point that marks 2° N. Latitude given that this pyramid is a representation of the Northern Hemisphere. To me, the chance that this is a coincidence approaches zero. The mathematical equation of what happened in 10,400 BC has been stated and answered in The Great Pyramid.
