Modelling the simultaneous transit method A period from 2750 to 2350 BC (2550 BC 200 years, double the maximum error margin conventionally estimated for the relative chronologies of this period)7 was examined for pairs of bright stars within 15 degrees from the pole which could have been used in the simultaneous transit method.
Figure 2a shows the circumpolar stars in 2467 BC, when a chord between zeta -Ursae Majoris and beta -Ursae Minoris crossed the pole (the discrepancy between this date and the date of greatest precision of pyramid alignment shown in Fig.
He confirmed that the chord ran precisely through the pole in 2467 BC (astronomical date -2466) by computing the date when the right ascension of the two stars differed by exactly 180 degrees.

 The sky was the limit for the Pyramid builders   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The pyramid builders, Spence suggests, used a pair of fairly bright stars, which in 2467 BC lay precisely along a straight line including the celestial north pole.
"In 2467 BC an Egyptian astronomer could wait while the heavens slowly pivoted around the unmarked pole until a plumb line exactly intersected both stars, one about 10° above the invisible pole and the other 10° below it," Gingerich explains.
Because of the Earth's precession -- the revolving axis of the Earth is unstable and rotates like a gyroscope with a period of 26,000 years -- the celestial north pole was exactly aligned between Kochab and Mizar only in the year 2467 BC.

Dynasty onwards to anchor their pyramids to true north, and (b) that because of this technique the alignments of their pyramids fell into 'error' due to the precessional shift of the stars (which only aligned in simultaneous transit with true north in 2467 BC).
She concluded that the Pyramid builders must have noticed this too, and assumed this 'invisible vertical line' to be true north and consequently aligned their pyramids towards it.
This alignment and others were used by me to date the Great Pyramid to c.2450 BC, plus or minus 25 years, thus within a range of 2430 BC to 2470 BC.
