Abstract

This article is a study of the location of Egyptian pyramids using topographic data. First, it examines the current status of pyramid location research and then analyzes pyramid location, focusing on the Giza pyramid complex. Then, based on this logic, the possibility of an expanded interpretation was examined for major pyramids in Egypt. The interpretive tool used in this article is topographic data, and the analysis methodology used traditional Eastern feng shui theory. The results of the analysis are as follows: Firstly, the location of the Giza pyramids was an area that was well-equipped with the Sasinsha (a mountain that protects from the East, West, South, and North) of Feng Shui. Additionally, the area was suitable for the construction of at least three family translations, not just for Khufu, who built the Great Pyramid. This location selection was intentionally made by Khufu. Secondly, even within the selected area, the precise selection of the location for the pyramid was made by choosing a hilly area that could withstand the weight of the giant pyramid. This was the case for all three pyramids. Thirdly, by applying the above logic to other major pyramids, the level of foundational conditions based on location was presented.
