An Ancient Origins article by Ed Whelan displayed a photo of the Sun setting behind the Sphinx’ shoulder at equinox . The article claims that this photo could revolutionize our understanding of the ancient structure. Reading this triggered a personal desire to find out more about directions at Giza. While it is true that the straight lines of the pyramids could be useful for determining astronomical events, such as equinoxes and more, I believed that the Sphinx itself wouldn’t be able to provide any good sight lines as it lies parallel to, but clearly off the sight line along the southern side of Khafre’s pyramid if you look at a map.
