Last week we visited Liverpool. Here is something that I have never seen pointed out about it. The three prominent buildings on the waterfront are known as the Three Graces.
The buildings are, from north to south, the Royal Liver Building, the Cunard Building and, the Port of Liverpool Building.
What I have never seen pointed out is that the three buildings are aligned just like the three Pyramids of Giza. The front of the three buildings, facing the waterfront, are not in a straight line. The front of each building is set further westward as we proceed southward. In the same way the three pyramids are aligned from northeast to southwest.
Here are the Pyramids of Giza. The pyramids decrease in size and age as we move from northeast to southwest. These pyramids are the mausoleums of three Old Kingdom pharaohs who were grandfather, son and, grandson.
From grandfather to grandson their names were Khufu, Khafre and, Menkaure. Their names are often given in Greek, Cheops, Cephren and, Mycerinus.

Muslims of about a thousand years ago made an effort to disassemble the three pyramids and some blocks from the newest and smallest pyramid, Menkaure, are missing.
Not only are Liverpool's Three Graces aligned in the same way as the Pyramids of Giza, the location of the nearby Queen Victoria Monument is just about congruent in it's location relative to the Three Graces as the location of the Sphinx relative to the three pyramids. Although the Queen Victoria Monument is somewhat southward.
Building pyramids was very expensive and fell out of favor after the end of the period known as the Old Kingdom. Later pharaohs, such as King Tut, had much more modest tombs in the Valley of the Kings.
But the three Pyramids of Giza are the best-known of the pyramids, and are reflected in the waterfront of Liverpool.
