I agree with reeay; nothing on earth can be "aligned" with any star, except pole star (it is "approximately" aligned with earth's axis of rotation; just an unimportant coincidence, and identity of the pole stars changes over time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_star). Both stars and earth travel in space, change their orientations over time, as we all know. Probably, orion's belt was not looking the same as today, when the pyramids were built.
This "pyramids' being aligned with orion" bubble is just a popular culture nonsense.
The "proof" (http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/pirami...mide_8.htm) presented here as the scientific fact, is just one of the trillion junk websites.
It seems that nobody here has ever checked what the real distances between orion stars are, what the distances of those stars to earth are, and whether there is any ratio/correlation with the distances between pyramids. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion%27s_Belt
In addition to distances, there are some other issues: the real orientation of the pyramids is here (top view) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c...map%29.svg and the orientation of orion stars is (from earth): https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c...n_Belt.jpg
This is how it looks when someone goes and positions themselves behind orion stars and look through them towards earth: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=wa3aix&s=8#.U8vmFUCg7FI . There seems no match; while pyramids are aligned from southwest to northeast, orion's belt is aligned from southeast to northwest. Pyramids can only "align" with orion's belt when earth rotates half turn and pyramids become located on the other side of earth, then "alignment lines" passes through earth, can enter through bottoms and leave tops of pyramids. However, even then, there is no 100% match because pyramid of menkaure does not coincide with orion star alnitak (alnitak stays on above of the line joining the other two stars, while menkaure stays on below of the line joining the other two pyramids).
And, there have been efforts to debunk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_Correlation_Theory
These kind of people (I mean the ones mentioned in that website) just manufacture such "legend"s out of nowhere, than they sell it -together with their names of course-; by means of which they build a career of some sort for themselves. The two guys who created the theory, has no knowledge of astronomy or any background in astronomy.
Even if my claim of "alignments' being completely opposite" is false, it's just a visual coincidence at best, not an "alignment".
In these cicumstances, we can't call it "scientific fact".
