What amuses me to no end is this: someone presents a highly elaborate theory, complete with intergalactic itinerary and Martian occupancy certificate, - with no evidence of any sort. When I see an alien Nike shoe, this will probably pique my interest... Until then... Meh.

The theory your talking about is the "Orion correlation theory", which has it's own Wikipedia page;
The theory has a number of holes, namely - the alignment never actually occurs, the dates are all wrong (circa 10,500 BC the sun was in the 'house of Virgo', not Leo), the 'bent' angle between the pyramids and the stars in Orion don't match (47-50° for the pyramids, 38° for Orion, and on and on.
Nice theory on the surface, but falls apart under closer examination.

I'm quite familiar with pareidolia. Your point is what, in relation to my original question?

Don't ya realize by now, evidence in this field is totally subjective? It will and can never be collective. It's all a matter of your degree of requirement from our limited advantage point (and conditioned upbringing)

First of all, I was being respectful to you so not sure where all the sarcasm is coming from or...why. But I'll overlook your petulant conduct for now.
In my mind there is no disputing alien life exists.
And academia (science included) is clueless about what's really going on out there.
So if you want to correct me based on some dissertation you 'learned' in school.....I'm not interested.

I respect your right to postulate that. That's a belief. Much like a religion.
You know if you throw a handful of corn flakes on the floor they will match numerous constellations and star patterns.

What would that "main function" be, requiring such an alignment?
Even Bauval and Hancock had admitted they don't dispute the dates of pyramid construction at Giza (circa 4th dynasty, 2,500 BC), so for them to keep their theory alive they contend that the builders kept to a schema laid out some 8,000 years earlier, from 10,500 BC. That's an awful long time to keep to a plan when everything else from this previous civilization vanished into dust, not leaving a single trace of it's existence. The 'plan' really falls apart when you consider that when this supposed alignment occurred in 10,500 BC, the sun was in the house of Virgo, not Leo, so what then was the Sphinx looking at? And shouldn't the sphinx have been a virgin then? How about the fact that Egyptians weren't privy to Greco-Roman astrological symbols (loosely based on Sumerian astrology), at any point in their history prior to the rule of the Ptolemy's? It's a stretch to get the Giza plateau to match with Orion, which it at least does resemble, but I don't see it at all with the Chinese pyramids.

This may be true, but If you keep throwing handfuls of corn flakes on the floor you DON'T keep getting the SAME constellation...

This is true. Now tell me how many times you'll have to throw them on the floor to get the same constellation twice.
