Robert Bauval

Robert Bauval is an Egyptian-born Belgian researcher and author known for his theories about the alignment of ancient Egyptian pyramids, particularly those at Giza. He suggests that the pyramids were intentionally positioned in relation to the stars and constellations, especially Orion, reflecting profound astronomical and spiritual symbolism from Egypt’s ancient culture. His ideas have sparked interest and debate about the sophistication of ancient Egyptian knowledge and their possible use of astronomy in architecture and religious practices. Bauval's work blends archaeology, astronomy, and history to explore how ancient Egyptians might have integrated cosmic understanding into their monumental constructions.
