Script: Why does the Great Pyramid of Giza align so perfectly with true north? This marvel was built over 4,500 years ago, yet its alignment accuracy is within a fraction of a degree. How could ancient builders achieve such precision without modern technology? Some suggest they used the stars, tracking the movement of constellations across the night sky. Others believe they employed shadow measurements during equinoxes. Recently, scientists discovered an ancient tool—an early form of the sundial—that might have been the key. This simple device could've allowed them to determine cardinal directions with remarkable precision. Just imagine: ancient architects using sunlight to cast history's longest shadow, aligning stones for eternity. A testament to human ingenuity that still baffles us today.
