The Giza Pyramids: Reaching for the Stars

The world is fascinated by the Pyramids of Giza. Even today, Egyptologists are still working hard to reveal the mysteries behind these stone giants built over 4,500 years ago. The master builders of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure surely had a certain level of understanding and expertise. Were they inspired by the world around them, Nature, the sun, even the stars? 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.
