The alignment of the pyramids of Giza with the stars in Orion's Belt is speculated to be a representation of the pharaoh's connection to the stars or as a way to guide the pharaoh's soul to the afterlife. It could also be a way to honor the gods and their importance to ancient Egyptian religion and beliefs in the afterlife.
