Did the Egyptians Use the Sun to Align the Pyramids? The Egyptians aligned pyramids of the fourth dynasty, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu and its neighbor, Khafre, to cardinal points with amazing accuracy. For the most part, scholars who have studied the issue have concluded that the Egyptians must have used the stars to achieve such accuracy. In this paper, I demonstrate that they could have achieved that accuracy using the sun. Where, Precisely, are the Three Pyramids of Giza? Those wishing to study the pyramids of Giza may be surprised to find that prior to now there were no readily accessible maps or tables fixing their locations with sub meter accuracy. In this paper, I extract coordinates from Flinders Petrie’s 1880-1881 survey, along with David Goodman and Mark Lehner’s 1984-1985 survey, and combine that with my 2012 analysis deriving the locations of the corners of the Great Pyramid, to identify the locations of the corners of all three pyramids with a probable error of plus or minus 10 centimeters. How the Pyramid Builders May Have Found Their True North open The builders of the Great Pyramid of Khufu aligned the huge monument to true north to within six minutes of arc, or one tenth of a degree. How they managed to do that has long been debated. In this article we will examine four prominent theories, test one, and compare and contrast the others. New Angles on the Great Pyramid In this article, we derive new estimates for the size and orientation of the Great Pyramid using data compiled by Mark Lehner and David Goodman in 1984. We can fix the locations of the casing corners to within ten centimeters. The Lehner/Goodman estimates for the location of the casing’s corners proved to be remarkably close to Flinders Petrie’s estimates. The Solar Alignments of Giza In this paper, we identify those places on the Giza plateau where the Egyptians might have observed the solstices. Our goal was to test the hypothesis that Giza might have functioned not only as a funerary complex to serve the dead king, but also to serve the living Egyptians as a platform for observing the solstices.

The Lithic Studies Society was founded in 1979 to advance the international study of lithic industries, and particularly flaked and ground artefacts, in the broadest possible context. Our member's interests are diverse, spanning Palaeolithic to historic periods across many areas of the world.

These include high resolution climatic and environmental records and rare cultural material. Innovative techniques are being applied to these unique records; however, many sites are rapidly deteriorating and some of Europe’s most important heritage is vanishing. This group has been set up with the intention of bringing together specialists who work on bog sites across Europe to discuss cutting-edge scientific methodologies and to evaluate the threats to this valuable cultural resource with a view to future action and collaboration.

A summary of those sites discovered in North Dorset as a consequence of this dry weather was presented to the Dorset Natural History and Archaeological Society in October 1995 by Martin Green. This led the present author to consider the possibility of examining several of these sites further, using geophysical survey and limited excavation work.
