Were the Egyptians more precise than our current civilization? The pyramids point to the north, but not just in the general direction. In fact, they are aligned within five hundredths of a degree to the true magnetic north. That is more accurate than the Royal Observatory in Greenwich.
The observatory is a whole 13 degrees away from the north and was built in 1675. If a few hundred years ago, we couldn’t accurately find true north, how could the Egyptians do it? How precise were the ancient Egyptian clocks compared to ours?
