	Giza - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Giza (Arabic, الجيزة, transliterated al-ǧīzah; pronounced in the Egyptian Arabic dialect of Cairo eg-Gīza; also sometimes rendered in English as Gizeh, Ghizeh, or Geezeh) is a town in Egypt on the west bank of the Nile river, some 20 km southwest of central Cairo and now part of the greater Cairo metropolis.
		Giza is most famous as the location of the Giza Plateau: the site of some of the most impressive ancient monuments in the world, including a complex of ancient Egyptian royal mortuary and sacred structures, including the Great Sphinx, the Great Pyramid of Giza, and a number of other large pyramids and temples.
		Giza saw much attention in particular to its vast amount of Ancient Egyptian monuments found on the Giza Plateau, and has astonished thousands of visitors and tourists over the years.

	Giza pyramid complex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Giza Necropolis (coordinates 29°58′33″N, 31°07′49″E) stands on the Giza Plateau, on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt.
		Associated with these royal monuments are the tombs of high officials and much later burials and monuments (from the New Kingdom onwards) associated with the reverence to those buried in the necropolis.
		Due largely to nineteenth-century images, the pyramids of Giza are generally thought of by foreigners as lying in a remote, desert location, even though they are located in what is now part of the most populated city in Africa.

	The Giza Plateau in Egypt
		Giza is located only a few kilometers south of Cairo, several hundred meters from the last houses in the southernmost part of the city proper, where a limestone cliff rises abruptly from the other side of a sandy desert plateau.
		According to a treatise on the geology of the pyramid plateau by Thomas Aigner, it is part of the Middle Eocene Mokattam Formation, which dips slightly southeast, comprising limestone and dolomites.
		But it was the Fourth Dynasty Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops) who placed Giza forever at the heart of funerary devotion, a city of the dead that dwarfed the cities of the living nearby.

	The Giza Plateau and the Great Pyramids
		The Giza necropolis, situated in the immediate vicinity of the southwestern suburbs of modern Cairo is probably one of the most famous ancient sites in the world.

	Pyramids of Giza - Crystalinks
		The Giza Valley Plateau consists of 11 Pyramids, 4 Valley Temples, 3 Mortuary Temples, 3 Procession ways, a Sphinx, as well as several boat pits all of which follow the blueprint of Sacred Geometry.
		However, an idea has emerged in the last few years that the three large pyramids of Giza are actually meant to be in an alignment resembling that of the three "belt" stars in the constellation Orion: Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka.
		Giza can be subdivided into two groupings of monuments, clearly defined and separated by a wadi.

		Situated west of the Nile, bordering the Sahara Desert, the Giza plateau rises up in its glory to present its full authority.
		The graffiti of the original work gangs are scrawled across the upper most chambers, chambers that were never meant to be entered, which may have only been included to relieve the tremendous weight upon the main chamber.
		The smallest pyramid, that of Menkaure, was the final attempt to pyramid the plateau.

	The Giza Plateau
		The pyramids at Giza have captured the attention and imagination of those who have gazed upon their lofty heights since time immemorial.
		Nevertheless, a point of greater importance is that the plateau illustrates the history of man, i.e., the trial, fall, and redemption of Adam’s progeny.
		We do have evidence within the plateau that is suggestive of this cataclysmic event and its importance not only to this biblical family but also to humankind.

	GIZA PLATEAU COMPUTER MODEL
		To accomplish this a computer model of the entire plateau and its architectural components had to be created from published maps, survey, and excavation reports.
		Various publications of the architectural complexes on the Giza Plateau, obtained from the Oriental Institute's Research Archives, were used during this phase of the project.
		Beyond this "popular" use for the Giza Plateau database, future enhancements to the basic computer model are already underway which will greatly increase its use and potential for analytical and educational studies.

		John Anthony West and Robert M. Schoch, in the course of investigating the weathering of the Sphinx to determine its age, detected by means of seismic scanning the Giza plateau, that an underground chamber beneath the Sphinx pawns actually exists, exactly where Cayce had predicted it.
		The conclusion of West and Schoch’s research on the erosion of the Sphinx was that is was actually water and not desert sand and wind that had caused the erosion of the base.
		It seems that the three pyramids on the Giza plateau cleverly correspond with the four inner planets of the Solar System, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars with the emphasis on Venus.

	AERA - Giza Plateau Mapping Project
		This was the genesis of the Giza Plateau Mapping Project (GPMP), an effort to better understand the social and economic forces that supported pyramid construction.
		To map a feature on the Giza Plateau and to fix its position relative to any other feature, we needed to establish a control matrix, a Plane Coordinate System: the GPMP grid.
		On most days we had a number of tripods and reflectors set up all around the plateau, up to nearly a kilometer (.62 miles) distant, and we would measure a whole series of angles between our occupied station, a reference point, and several secondary or tertiary survey points.

		In addition if one were to draw a line through the three belt stars of Orion at this exact time, it would centre directly upon Mars, thus providing an energy flow towards earth and the Giza Plateau.

		Discover why, when and how the Giza Pyramids were built by the ancient Egyptian kings Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, and what early explorers like al Mamun, Edrisi, al Latif, Greaves, Davison, Jomard, Belzoni, Caviglia, Howard Vyse, Perring, Lepsius, Marriette, Piazzi Smyth, the Dixons, Flinders Petrie and others found inside them.
		The multitude of popular works that have been published about the Giza Plateau - home of the three most famous pyramids and the Sphinx - have increasingly painted a picture of impossible engineering, extreme antiquity, and "lost" ancient civilisations.
		This, combined with the authors' own extensive research and on-site explorations, has culminated in what can only be described as the most fascinating and important piece of work on the Giza Plateau to date.
