Somehow, something like that.

Answer 2

I think you've got enough info to find Orion now...but as for the whole Orion / Pyramids at Giza thing, I looked into it a few weeks ago, and found it to be an immense pile of rubbish. Just some fringe "scientist"'s fanciful attempt at getting attention; none of his "findings" hold water in the least. Supposedly the constellation Orion and the Giza Pyramids "lock in" at some time in the ancient past (forgot the year, too lazy to look it up), but just try to find out what he means by that (latitude? angle? etc.) and you get no where.

Besides, you'd think that the Egyptians, who were so exacting in every other respect of building the pyramids, would make some effort to have the size of the pyramid correspond to the apparent magnitude of the star in Orion's belt that it's supposed to represent. They don't match at all.

Answer 3

The three pyramids at Giza don't line up in a straight line, in a very similar way to the three stars in the belt of Orion.
The theory is that the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids to match the layout of the stars in the constellation of Orion.
There's some credibility to the theory because the ancient Egyptians seemed to know an awful lot about astronomy. However Egyptologists have so far dismissed the theory completely.

Answer 4

If you can see TWO STARS with THREE STARS and TWO STARS - the THREE STARS form a band across the middle between the two sets of TWO STARS - that is Orion!

You would have to do some searching for the rest of the info although I believe the Egyptians lined up some of the pyramids to line up with consteallations I couldn't tell you which ones - possibly Orion

Answer 5

You can't miss it. It's the only group of stars that looks obviously like a man.

Answer 6

Answer 7

I am sure you can see this on the internet - it is easy to see in the northern or southern hemisphere, quiet unmistakable really.

It's pretty much like this, but the belt (the 3 stars on the middle) isn't exactly horizontal, it slopes up from left to right. It's one of the easiest constellations to see in the night sky, you can't miss it.
