 *  There are 138 pyramids discovered in Egypt as of 2008.
 * They relate to space because the pyramid's have a hole that is pointed at the direction of a star and the light that comes in supposedly shines on a Pharaoh’s tomb through the "air shafts" and launched his soul to the gods in space.
 * Most scientist’s don’t know how the pyramids were built. [[image:http://www.crystalinks.com/pyrorion.jpg]]
 * Egypt’s pharaohs believed that they have another world after their death. They were to become gods in their afterlife. That is why when the pharaoh dies, their tomb is filled with all the materials they need for their afterlife.

 * Long time ago, during the middle kingdom era, Egyptians used the constellation of Sirius as their calendar. Sirius becomes visible right before sunrise and would slowly disappear as the day went. However, Sirius only comes during the spring time and Egyptians used the star to predict times for the Nile river’s annual flood which let them determine how their agriculture is going to be.[[image:http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTkrH44e8MpyC9UImWhPABZ4m0InE0VOcDgvyjpz3jfGMKc-6ozxQ]]
