In this paper we discuss the orientation of the Egyptian pyramids at Giza with respect to sunrises and sunsets, using SunCalc.net software. We can see that Khufu and Khafre pyramids had been positioned in a manner that, from each pyramid, it was always possible to observe the points of the horizon where the sun was rising and setting on each day of the year. A discussion for the Menkaure pyramid is also proposed.

    Pyramid substructure orientations show continuity from Snefru's Red Pyramid through the Fifth Dynasty, and the author reclassifies Shepseskaf's Mastabat Fara'un as a pyramid based on its internal corridor layout.
