William Branham said that the Great Pyramid was "so perfect in the center of the earth, no matter where the sun is, there's never a shadow around it." This statement is blatantly false. | |||
The sides of the Great Pyramid are at 52 degrees. Therefore, if the sun is higher than 52 degrees, the Egyptian pyramids won't cast a shadow. The sun is never directly overhead at summer solstice given that the latitude of the pyramids are at 30 degrees north. The sun is only overhead at 23.5 degrees latitude, the Tropic of Cancer. During the winter months, the pyramids cast a shadow for considerable parts of the day. Even in the summer months, when the pyramids don't cast a shadow during large parts of the day, they still cast a shadow in the early morning and evening. | The sides of the Great Pyramid are at 52 degrees.
