Great Pyramid shaft angles: ~45°, ~39°, ~39°, ~32.5°. These are geometrically significant angles, not star pointers. The Orion/Sirius theory fails because those stars never culminate simultaneously. Geometry, not celestial mechanics.

Key facts
- Shaft angles: 45°, 32.5°, 39°, 39°
- Differences between angles are 5.5 (quarter of 22) and 7
- These are Pi-based angles, not star pointers
- Previous theory of Orion/Sirius is incorrect - they don't culminate simultaneously
- Northern shafts don't point to any specific circumpolar star
