*Carl Munck has demonstrated that ancient monuments the world over were designed and positioned according to the same scientific code, and that the Great Pyramid marked the prime meridian (zero-point) of this global matrix. Prior to the Pyramid's construction, this function may have been performed by the mound of rock that marked the site, part of which was incorporated into the Pyramid's base; it symbolized the 'primeval mound' which, in Egyptian mythology, first emerged from the waters of chaos at the dawn of creation.
The construction of the Red Pyramid of Dahshur may have begun around 82,710 years ago, when Aldebaran (the star it represents) coincided with the vernal equinox, and the descending passage was aligned with the then polestar, Mizar (in Ursa Major). The upper part of the Bent Pyramid may have been built about 200 years later, when Epsilon Tauri (the star it represents) coincided with the vernal equinox and the upper part of the northern descending passage was aligned with the polestar, Alioth (in Ursa Major). The combined angle of the lower and upper parts of the unique western descending passage of this pyramid equals the number of degrees that the equinox would have moved (westward) through the zodiac during the long period between the pyramid's commencement and completion.

The bulk of the Great Pyramid may have been built towards the end of the precessional cycle that began 86,960 years ago. What is commonly called the Grand Gallery was in ancient times known to some as the Hall of the Orbit, and Dick suggested that given the extraordinary astronomical knowledge of the Pyramid's builders, it was probably built to lie in the exact plane of the earth's orbit at that time. The ascending passage to the Hall of the Orbit is inclined at about 26°7', and the Hall of the Orbit at about 26°22', corresponding to a tilt of the earth's axis of 33°54' and 33°39' respectively. The former tilt refers to a date of about 67,800 years ago, and the latter to a date of about 66,180 years ago.
