The Great Pyramid's four sides face the compass points to within about a twentieth of a degree, a drift of roughly a hand's width across more than two hundred metres of stone. The builders had no compass. They had no pole star either: the sky they looked at held only an empty patch of darkness at the center of its turning. And no Egyptian text from the age of the pyramids explains how they found north.
Settle in, get comfortable, and drift off while we explore one of Egypt's strangest mysteries.
