A NEW LOOK AT AN OLD DESIGN

THE PREHISTORIC ALIGNMENT OF WORLD WONDERS

BY JIM ALISON

PART I - ON THE LINE

Easter Island is exactly aligned along a straight line around the center of the Earth, with the Nazca lines, Ollantaytambo , Tassili n'Ajjer 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; Khajuraho, the temple city of the Chandela empire in central India; 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.

The Angkor temple at Prassat Preah Vihear, 90 miles Northeast of Angkor Wat, is within one fourth of one degree of the line. Bearing a striking visual resemblance to Angkor Wat, the temple at Phimai in Southeastern Thailand is within one half of one degree of the line. The ancient temple cities of Sukhothai in Thailand and Pyay in Myanmar are within one tenth of one degree of the line.

Halfway between Angkor Wat and the Great Pyramid is the Indus Valley, the city of Mohenjo Daro, and the unexcavated city of Ganweriwala, which is East of Mohenjo Daro, and thought to be just as large. Both of these sites are on the line between Angkor and the Great Pyramid. The Indus Valley is also antipodal to Easter Island. It is an interesting coincidence concerning these two sites, opposite each other on Earth, that of the few ancient written languages of the world that remain undeciphered, two are Indus Valley Script and Rongorongo, the written language of ancient Easter Island. The world's first known written languages, Egyptian Hieroglyphics and Sumerian Cuneiform, were also developed along this line of ancient sites. The Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Brahman and Buddhist religions, as well as ancient Egyptian and Peruvian religions, were also developed along this line.

Anatom Island is the southernmost Island in the new Republic of Vanuatu, formerly known as the New Hebrides. Anatom Island is exactly halfway between Easter Island and Angkor Wat 5,048 miles each way, or 20.3% of the circumference of the Earth. Stone ruins on Anatom Island once housed the largest missionary church in the southern hemisphere.

The line crosses over the source and the mouth of the Amazon, the mouth of the Nile, the mouth of the Tigris-Euphrates, the Indus River and the Bay of Bengal near the mouth of the Ganges.

The line also crosses over a number of areas of the world that are largely unexplored or unexcavated, including the Sahara Desert, the Brazilian Rainforest, the highlands of New Guinea, and underwater areas of the North Atlantic Ocean, the South Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. For example, the midway point between the Great Pyramid and Machupicchu is in the North Atlantic Ocean, less than one degree south of the Cape Verde Islands. This is also the midway point between Easter Island and the Indus Valley. Although the Cape Verde Islands were found to be uninhabited when they were rediscovered in 1460 A.D., maps and geographical descriptions for the past 2000 years have shown this location to be the home of ancient island civilizations, including maps showing this location to be the site of Atlantis. In Plato's account of Atlantis, there was a mountainous region north of the city. Are the higher elevations of those mountains now the Cape Verde Islands?

The UNESCO World Heritage list and this site, both site that are referred to one on that site, gives different numbers for the location of the wonders, examples:
UNESCO vs. other site
Eastern Island (27°07'00''S 109°22'00''W) vs. (27°06'S 109°20'W)
Nasca (14°50'60''S 74°57'0''W) vs. (14°42'S 75°06'W)
Gizah (30°0'12''N 31°10'32''E) vs. (29°59'N 31°09'E)
Angkor (13°26'N 103°50'E)

With Nasca, that's a difference of 23 km (14 miles).

Now let's look at the golden section ratio. With this site, that is also refered to on that site, I get:
Angkor - Gizah: 7621 km (4736 miles)
Gizah - Nasca: 12362 km (7681 miles)

That makes the ratio: 1.62209683
Phi is in reality: 1.61803399
That's a 0,2511% difference. Not really impressive for a highly advanced cultur. I think it's nothing but a nice coļncedence. I think I can find a better matching triplet of wonders.

And why would ancient civilizations code the 137th, 138th, 139th, 359th, 360th and 361th Fibonacci numbers in the building places in miles. Once again I think this is nothing but a nice coļncedence. You're bound to find to find some of these numbers if you try hard enough and if you can choose any unit you want (miles in this case).

In my opinion this is a just a nice coļndence found if you try enough with different wonders. The author only uses wonders when they match his theory. What about all the wonders that are not on the line? He doesn't use Stonehenge on the line, but he does use it in one of his other numbers tricks.
