The Trial Passages may have been an observatory for the builders of the Great Pyramid, to help them align that Mighty Structure to the incredible accuracy for which is its renown. AIP has done other work on the Trial Passages linked below. The Trial Passages is 100 yards east of the Great Pyramid and mimic many parts of the Pyramid's interior. 

A new paper in 2020 by David Ian Lightbody ("Moving Heaven and Earth for Khufu") says that the Trial Passages was used as an observatory by the Pyramid builders to locate the position of Thuban, the North Star and the North Celestial Pole. AIP, therefore, takes a quick renewed look at the Trial Passages.
Lightbody demonstrates that working with the technology available at the time of the 4th Dynasty, Khufu's astronomers and priestly class could have successfully used the Trial Passages as a primitive observation that limited by the window created by the descending passage, would still have had a full enough view of the north sky to see  Thuban, the North Celestial Pole and others of what the Egyptians called the "imperishable stars."
