How do the pyramids of Giza represent a projection of the Milky Way?
Was the location of Giza intentional designed to match the design projection of the Milky Way?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

"The pyramids at Giza are a projection of the star system known as Orions belt and a map of the milky way, the twelve astrological constellations, their movements, and the path of the sun through the constellations. The suns path eventually intersect with the paws of Leo at the bottom, or most southern point of the equinoctial cycle. When this occurs, the Leo constellation is at the lowest point on the horizon, as it was 10,000 years past, and the whole procession of the equinoxes will begin once more."

How would the Egyptians know the position of Leo, 10,000 years in the past?
Did they have detailed maps of the movement of constellations and use them to make predictions of the constellations in Sideral time in the future?
Could the shafts be an unique design for setup a railed counter weight system for elevating large stone blocks using in the construction of Kings Chamber. Maybe, the angle was set for maximum pull and control and accidental coincided with Orion Belt 10,000 BCE and Sirius.
There were some discrepancies with the theory.

"There are some problems with the idea. For example: The inclination of the pyramids relative to the equator was different, at the time of their construction, from that of the belt stars against the celestial equator (and therefore against the horizon) at their highest position in the sky. Therefore Bauval suggested that the pyramids were planned at another time. After some calculations he concluded that the inclinations matched at about 10500 BCE.
The other stars also had their best correlation with their pyramids around that time so the authors concluded that the pyramids were planned around the end of the last ice age. Since the shafts in the Great Pyramid point to a building date of about 2450 BCE, the planning and building dates differ by about 8000 years!
But that "shaft date" also creates problems because it is too young. At present Egyptologists are tending to make the Old Kingdom a little bit older rather than younger.
Such a revolutionary thesis generated objections from academia. The first inconsistency found was about a mixup of the directions implemented into the concept, and shortly afterwards it was discovered that the inclinations did not match at the claimed planning date.
But that is secondary. The biggest question is, if the foundation of the theory is correct, the necessary link with Ancient Egyptian culture. Can the Osiris/Orion-myth be traced back to the beginning of the pyramid building era? My preliminary investigations found some serious problems here. "

Leo constellation is at the lowest point on the horizon, as it was 10,000 years past, since the sun's path intersect with the paws of Leo at the bottom.

The sphinx faces the east, it aligns with Leo constellation and is orthogonal with the Orion constellation. These are building map to constellation projections and represent projections of constellation positions, as they existed 10,000 years ago. Four star chambers point to various constellations. Winter and Summer solstice deviate 28 degrees off due east which is the direction the sphinx faces. The walkways between the structures form angles pointing to Leo, the Vernal Equinoctic Point, and the Sun; as of about ten thousands years ago."

The current dating is for the construction of the pyramids of Giza is about 5600 to 5100 BCE. The fact that the pyramid is very close to the intersection of the thirtieth parallel with the thirtieth meridian is coincidence. It is unlikely that the builders of the pyramids of Giza would know that Greenwich would be chosen as the primary meridian. The Nile Valley was chosen as the site of the capital for practical reasons. Necropolis was located to the West of the capital for religious reasons.
Does the Nile represent the projection of the Milky Way?
What would the Egyptians be search for by referencing Orion? Would they be waiting for Leo to cross the horizon and when?
Has the Orion theory been debunk as false?
What are the arguments against the Orion theory?
I think the Great pyramids were probably built around 3200 to 3400 BCE
Book: "The Orion Mystery"
The precession cycle is broken into 12 parts. 2160 years per part or 12 times 2160 years equaling 25,920 years and each part has 360 degrees where each degree equals 72 years. So 360 times 12 equals 2160 years. The secret of the Benben stone was the precession of Sirus, the “First Time”, which starts 10,450 BC, 48 degree 53 min declination and 11 degree 8 min altitude. The Celestial pole is -29 degree 58 min 51 sec from center of the great pyramid. The probable Giza pyramid time was 2475 BC to 2400 BC. The pyramid was not built at the “First Time” or 10,450 BC. The precession cycle points from Giza to Heliopolis to Letopolis to Giza and outward to Orion and Sirius.
The First Time was the beginning reference of "10,450 BC" and the end reference was "2250 AD". The value represents the range of the 26,000 year clock. The first time does not indicate when the pyramid was built. The author puts the pyramid build date at 2450 BC.
