Other than to track the seasons
with precision for planting and
flood cycles of the Nile, etc. what
is your theory as to why so many
ancient peoples were obsessed
with astronomy?

I think the parameters of what constitutes the phenomena you're interested in are too vague and the variables so extensive that it's not possible to derive any understanding from such statistical research.

Interesting theory..but just a theory.
Why is it that every theory on the Great Pyramid as a star chart never incorporates
the other enigmas of the Great Pyramid such as the Five Step Niche in the Queen's Chamber..
...or the Grand Gallery..or the Subterranean Chamber???
There is a video on Youtube that explains the interior of the Great Pyramid and it
explains ALL the interior functions showing the interior to be a replication of our Solar System..
..an exact replication that shows our solar system in an alignment.
For what it's worth - it shows the AE could not have built the Great Pyramid
for as we know, they couldn't have known about these astrological equations.

Do you have a link to said video?

@Hearte - there is no other that resembles the Great Pyramid for architecture and engineering feats...
originally posted by: AquarianTrumpet...however, certain monuments are sending a similar message which have been examined and explained in future videos.

My understanding is that the shafts point, respectively, to the Orion and the Serian constellations, the places inhabitated by the Alien races that pretty much control both their GALACTIC EMPIRE, and what goes on here on esrth.

I'd like (I think) to see exactly why you think the G.P. has it all over the Red Pyramid.

The King's Chamber for one -
It isn't corbelled such as the Grand Gallery..nor is it vaulted such as the Queen's Chamber..
It is what appears to be a suspended 'floating' vaulted ceiling.
originally posted by: AquarianTrumpetThere are other intriguing architecture advancements, but if it could simply be answered as to the why and need for the Five Lintels, their significance to load structure and weight bearing attributes, where this is shown and used in other monuments..I would be forever grateful of your sharing of wisdom.
The great concern felt by the builders is also seen in the King's chamber. Petrie, in his Pyramids and Temples of Gizeh remarked about the huge granite beams laid across the width of the chamber, Section 53, page 81:
The roof of the chamber is formed of nine granite beams, of the following breadths, (53-inches mean) the two side beams partly resting on the ends of the chamber . . .
These roofing–beams are not of "polished granite", as they have been described; on the contrary, they have rough–dressed surfaces, very fair and true so far as they go, but without any pretence to polish. Round the S.E. corner, for about five feet on each side, the joint is all daubed up with cement laid on by fingers. The crack across the Eastern roof–beam has been also daubed with cement, looking, therefore, as if it had cracked before the chamber was finished.
This cracking must have been of great concern to the builders. As Petrie notes, it must have happened while the chamber was still under construction. As stated by Dieter Arnold in Building in Egypt:
After these rather modest beginnings (in the Step Pyramid of Zoser) flat granite ceiling beams 2 meters thick cover the crypt of Cheops, which is 5.2 meters wide. But its builders - perhaps irritated by cracks that opened during the construction - distrusted its stability and added a fantastic system of five relieving chambers on top. The four lower ones were roofed with horizontal granite beams; the uppermost one, with a pointed saddle roof of limestone.
One may deduce that the builders were uncertain of themselves. Had they been able to compute the weight, and the thrust from various directions, they may not have created such a bizarre relief system. Or it may be that the horizontal movements they encountered from an earthquake created sufficient alarm that they went to such extraordinary lengths to prevent further alteration to the chamber dimensions.
