The Giza Pyramids. The sides of the pyramids face the four cardinal
directions. There might be other astronomical alignments build into
the structure of the pyramids (No-9).
Ancient Egyptian astronomy never got very far, in fact.
The situation was different in the Hellenistic period when
Greek and Babylonian astronomical knowledge was fostered in Egypt
by the Greek speaking element.
One wonders about Vegas is 4 millennia:
``Look on my works, ye Mighty and despair!''
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level stands stretch far away.
---from Shelley's Ozymandias.
