This documentary explores various theories and recent global advances in Archaeology and Egyptology, Astronomy and Astrophysics, deciphering the clues left behind on the Giza Plateau by the Ancient Egyptians in order to prove that they left nothing to chance and that these three pyramids are in fact deeply connected to the cosmos. - Tiger on the RocksE5
