And if not, should there not be other structures in the same area? Perhaps, then, Atlantis should be quite close to Egypt – or why, if they did,
would they build something so far from “home”??!!
I believe they would have plenty of reason to build it far from home, no matter the inconvenience.
a) Unless someone can correct me on this, it has been calculated that the exact centre of all the world's geographic land mass (as seen on a standard
world map) is pinpointed
precisely by the pyramids.
b) It has been noted that if an ancient lost civilisation like atlantis did attempt to leave hidden clues and information for future truth-seekers, it
would appear they were keen to disseminate the number 72 (and it's close derivatives, such as 72 / 2 = 36, 72 + (72 / 2) = 108, and 108 / 2 = 54) for
it is key to our astrological understanding. I believe Graham Hancock (who I'm sure you're all familiar with), calculated that the distances between
the great Pyramids, the temples at Angkor, and Easter Island are all represented by 72, 54, or 108 (for example, monument x is 54 degrees east of
monument y - forgive my vagueness, I can't remember the exact relationships). In short, there is an argument that all of the great ancient monuments
are all part of one grand design and their exact positioning was crucial to their meaning.
c) Then there is the slightly more "wacky" theory about a tunnel leading to the inner realm of our hollow planet, where the ancestors of the
atlanteans now reside, being located beneath the pyramids.
