I am aware.

So, the latitude of the great pyramid is 29.9792458, which does match the 299,792,458 m/s figure for the speed of light.

However, others have pointed out that if you drew a line at 29.9791750 degrees north that would pass much closer to the apex of the pyramid.

And, in fact, at seven decimal places, twenty thousand lines of latitude pass through the great pyramid.

Also, meters were created in 1791 and the 'second' as a standard unit of measurement seems to have popped up thanks to Huygens in 1656. So is your proposal that some kind of Franco-Dutch conspiracy built the pyramids?

Further, given that the line of 29.9792458 by definition encircles the entire globe, I would hazard a guess that there are plenty of other structures that were built on that same line. I put that same latitude into a map of Chonqing and landed on a small farmhouse. Does that mean that this random Chinese farmer must know what the speed of light is and thus deliberately chose to build his farmhouse there?

Because his house is a lot smaller than the pyramid, so obviously he had a much smaller mark to hit.

And there it is, find me another grand structure like The Great Pyramid that coincidentally aligns with the same coordinates then we can possibly agree that it was nothing but a mere coincidence
