Fringe
I have removed the John Gagnon material per WP:FRINGE, which discourages giving significant weight to fringe theories. As best as I can tell, this is an obscure self-published book stocked in only one library in the entire US. Barring sourcing to the contrary, this does not seem to be a theory that is accepted or even noticed in the mainstream. --Nat Gertler (talk) 00:49, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Confusing
Pardon my English, it is from high school level studies only. Maybe the article is totally clear for any native speaker. To me it is confusing: The first sentence of the article states that this is an architectural feature generally used in "Egyptian pyramids and Baalbek". The following sentences is about the shafts from the King's chamber in the Great Pyramide of Ghiza. Also the Queen's chamber have such shafts, at an different angle and height. The second sentence starts out of context that star shafts (all star shafts then, also the ones seen in Baalbek) origins from the King's chamber and exit at the same height. Unclear also at the same height as what? As the origin (King's chamber) or as the exit as the ones in Great Pyramide (that is 72m from the bottom of the pyramide). But not even all "star shafts" in the great Pyramide start and exit at the same height. But the two from the King's chamber does, according to the Swedish Wikipedia-article about such shafts in the Great Pyramide: sv:Cheopspyramidens schakt. According to the Swedish article, such shafts as in the Great Pyramide, are quite unique for that pyramide. I am not confident enough to upfdate the article myself.--LittleGun (talk) 09:04, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
