Uncovering the Cosmic Code: Did Three Ancient Civilizations Secretly Align Their Monuments with the Stars?
In a 1999 study published in the journal Astronomy & Geophysics, one researcher tested this theory on the pyramids of Giza. He found that the position did not, in fact, line up with how the stars would have appeared in 10500 B.C.E.
There’s also no evidence presented by the TikToker or any serious researchers connecting the structures of Teotihuacan to the year 10500 B.C.E., so this, too, can be dismissed.

Finally, the claim that the temples at Angkor line up with Draco as it appeared in 10500 B.C.E. appears to come from a book by Graham Hancock. Critics have noted that, in order for this to be true, one must intentionally disregard many temples in the Angkor complex. To demonstrate how malleable this idea can be, blogger Jason Colavito showed how the temples of Angkor could be connected into the shape of the Batman symbol.
Still, is it possible that these ancient structures were built with the sky and stars in mind?
The Connection Between Ancient Temples And The Stars
Researchers have speculated that many ancient structures have meaningful connections to the stars.
For example, in a paper published in Nature in 2000, Egyptologist Kate Spence used “trends in the orientation of Old Kingdom pyramids to demonstrate that the Egyptians aligned them to the north by using the simultaneous transit of two circumpolar stars.”
Similarly, archaeologist Ivan Šprajc found that Teotihuacan was likely designed with both astrological patterns and local calendars in mind. For example, the city’s main grid is slightly slanted and does not run perfectly from north to south or east to west. Šprajc speculates that this tilt allowed ancient people to track certain sunrises or sunsets, which may have been important for farming or rituals.
Finally, some researchers say that Angkor Wat was built so that the rising Sun aligned with its western entrance on equinox and solstice days.
Ancient people had a strong connection to the sky, the stars, and the constellations within. That said, they likely weren’t building to reference some event in 10500 B.C.E.; instead, they had more local interests in mind.
