The Pyramids' Latitude Matches the Speed of Light—And a Scientist Claims It's an Alien GPS Coordinate

A physicist has triggered intense scientific debate after claiming the Great Pyramid of Giza was deliberately built on an alien GPS coordinate that mirrors the speed of light.

In a highly controversial study published in March 2025, Jalal Jafari from Tehran argued that the ancient monument functions as a geospatial beacon rather than a pharaonic tomb. Jafari pointed out that the coordinates of the pyramid match the speed of light to seven decimal places when using modern metric measurements.
