Introduction
Many
popular authors suggest possibility that mysterious sites around the world were
created with help of advanced knowledge and technology (possibly more advanced
than our current one) possessed by lost civilizations. Others do not believe
that there ever was very advanced civilization on earth and all of the superb
knowledge was handed down to us by ancient astronauts who came down from
heaven. Most scientists do not subscribe to any of these ideas and try to
explain ancient enigmas on the ground of religion and ritual…In this section we are
presenting few sites that are still causing controversy in the scientific
community.
Mysterious
Alignment
Another
puzzle is mysterious alignment of world’s ancient sites. Easter Island is
exactly aligned along a straight line around the center of the Earth, with the
Nazca lines, Ollantaytambo and the Great Pyramid of Egypt. Other world wonders
that are within one tenth of one degree of this alignment include: Perseopolis,
the capital city of ancient Persia; Mohenjo Daro, the ancient capital city of
the Indus Valley; the Oracle of Zeus-Amon at Siwa; and the lost city of Petra.
The Ancient Sumarian city of Ur and Angkor temples in Cambodia and Thailand are
within one degree of latitude of this alignment.
The alignment of these sites
is easily observable on a globe of the Earth with a horizon ring. If you line
up any two of these sites on the horizon ring, all of the sites will be right
on the horizon ring. 3-D world atlas software programs can also draw this line
around the Earth. Start on the Equator, at the mouth of the Amazon River, at
48° 36′ West Longitude; go to 30° 22′ North Latitude, 41° 24′ East Longitude,
in the Middle East, which is the maximum latitude the line touches; then go to
the Equator at 131° 24′ East Longitude, near the Northwest tip of New Guinea;
then to 30° 22′ South Latitude, 138° 36′ West Longitude, in the South Pacific;
and then back to 48° 36′ West Longitude, at the Equator.
The circumference of
this line around the center of the Earth is 24,892 miles. Along this line, the
great circle distance from the Great Pyramid to Ollantaytambo is 7,472 miles,
30.0% of the circumference. Ollantaytambo is 2,579 miles from Easter Island,
10.3%. Easter Island is 10,096 miles from Angkor Wat, 40.6%. Angkor Wat is
2,490 miles from Mohenjo Daro, 10.0%. Mohenjo Daro is 2255 miles from from the
Great Pyramid, 9.1%. In addition to calculating the distances between these
sites as a percentage of the circumference of the Earth, the distances may also
be calculated in degrees of the 360° circumference, by multiplying the
percentage by 3.6. For example, the Great Pyramid is 108° away from
Ollantaytambo. Near Ollantaytambo, Machupicchu is within one quarter of a degree and Cuzco is within one third of a degree of the alignment.
