Pyramids point towards Heliopolis?

Egypt, Egypt everywhere:

Washington, April 1 (ANI): A new study has suggested that some of Egypt’s most magnificent pyramids were deliberately designed to follow a pattern of invisible diagonal lines, which would point towards Heliopolis, the city of the Sun God.


These invisible lines would connect most of the funerary complexes raised by the kings of the Old Kingdom between 2630 and 2323 BC, Giulio Magli, professor of archaeoastronomy at Milan’s Polytechnic University, told Discovery News.


“Following these diagonals, it appears clear that the arrangement of the monuments was carefully chosen in order to satisfy a number of criteria, which include dynastic lineage, religion and astronomical alignments,” he said.
