A surprising coincidence.
An ancient Arab proverb says: "Man fears time, but time fears the pyramids."
More than 4,500 years have passed (in theory) and these magnificent constructions still exist and, with their majesty, continue to fascinate the entire community of Egyptologists and attract thousands of visitors from all over the world.
A really curious fact about the Pyramid of Cheops, which can be attributed to a pure "coincidence" is that the figures for the speed of light in a vacuum (299,792,458 k/s) coincide with the geographical latitude of the monument today. (29° 58'45.28 "N = 29.9792458°N).
They do not match perfectly according to Google Earth but the coincidence is surprising in the digits that make up both numbers.
Another curious fact.
Due to hypothetical continental drift (Supercontinent Pangea), the pyramid has moved about 45 meters since its construction.
Therefore, the builders probably not only knew the speed of light, they also knew that it would be 4,500 years before someone noticed this coincidence and built it in the right place for the drift!
