Robert Bauval's Orion Correlation Theory claims that that not only the pyramids 
but also the Sphinx, was oriented to the constellation of Orion as it appeared 
in 10,500 B.C. According to him the positions and sizes of the three pyramids 
at Gus reflect the positions and brightness of the three stars of the Orion 
belt (z, Î and d Orionis). Is this true? If not, why?
