It has long been argued that the Great pyramid embodies certain fundamental astronomical data in its dimensions. Proctor said 'we see in all the Egyptian pyramids the evidence of an astronomical plan'. As there are certain clear evidences of attention to astronomy in the great pyramid, any argument that other discoveries of astronomical figures are 'coincidental' have little merit. Proctor firmly believed that the grand gallery and other passages were designed for determining the declination and ascension of stars.
Apart from the polar shaft, and cardinal alignment, which are obvious astronomical features, it has been long suspected that the great pyramid may have been originally designed as an astronomical observatory. In Le-Measurier's interpretation, he suggests that the pyramid was built in different phases, one of which, up to the level of the 'king's' chamber was for observing the stars, with the rest of the structure being built in a later construction phase and for another purpose. In return, it is argued that the proximity of so many other pyramids, with similar 'funerary' features reveals the true context of the pyramids. However, the very same argument was applied to the British stone circles, where in places like Scotland, where there are arguably too many 'recumbent' circles in some areas to explain in terms of just astronomy.
