Taking into account continental drift...could it be figured where these locations would have been a few thousand years ago...they might be closer to the line, or a bit farther away...
Just a thought.

I don't know if anyone already wrote something about this so...

Did you check about Coral Castle location?

maps.google.pt...,0,12957459397690501877&ei=CPG4 SpfqDKWUjAe6s-X4BQ&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=image&resnum=1

Maybe that will help you to find why..

Also did you know that Mr. Edward Leedskalnin or Latvian: Edvards Liedskalniņš

moved the construction from the original location to the present location because one simple reason?

"This building was originally located in Florida City in the 1920s; then in the mid 1930s Leedskalnin moved it single-handedly to its present location on a 10-acre (4.0 ha) site near Homestead, Florida."

See the video...it will answer some questions. Why that location. Gravity

Ok. Here's most of the major launch sites.

And the reason for choosing Cape Canaveral:

Cape Canaveral was chosen as a missile launch site soon after World War II when it became clear that new rockets were becoming too powerful for inland facilities such as that at White Sands, New Mexico. The Cape had good weather, the Atlantic to the east over which missiles could be fired without risk to human populations, and a string of islands on which tracking stations could be set up.

It looks like just convenience. But then again these are just the ones we know about, maybe there are secret launch sites placed on significant geographic locations.

and it's just by coincidence that the Giza Pyramids, the Siwa Oasis, the Pyramids of Paratoari, Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu, the Nazca Lines, Easter Island, the Preah Vihear Temple, The Ancient Ruins Of Sukhothai Thailand, Pyay ruins in Burma, Khajuraho, Mohenjo Daro, Persepolis, Ur (ancient Mesopotamia), Petra

are ALL within .1 of a degree latitude? How is that cherry picking? They're there, they line up, something is up.



well...2 regions come to mind...mayan pyraminds, and (nothing in china?) seem to be left out of this circle. maybe more , but that is off the top of my head, these places are significant and have been left out.

Glastonbury?, Stonehenge?, Chinese pyramids?, Jerusalem? etc etc. There are thousands of ancient sites, you have picked 17. Of course some line up. Some will even outline the Easter Bunny! This is a well known phenomena whereby the human brain "wants" to see order in random distributions.........

Sorry .. something isn't working.

Please forgive me if this doesn't work. If it doesn't and you would like to see it.. go to google video and see the video :

Some relative plate movement speeds for you:

Lesser Antilles Subduction Zone 18 mm/yr ; 118.1 feet in 2000 years, equiv to 1.18 seconds of latitude.

Central American Subduction Zone 61 mm/yr ; 400.3 feet in 2000 years, equiv to 4.00 seconds of latitude.

Cascadia Subduction Zone 39 mm/yr ; 255.9 feet in 2000 years, equiv to 2.56 seconds of latitude.

Aleutian Trench 73 mm/yr ; 479.0 feet in 2000 years, equiv to 4.79 seconds of latitude.
(Note, really depends on which end you measure, the other end is 92 mm/yr)

Japan Trench 92 mm/yr ; 603.7 feet in 2000 years, equiv to 6.04 seconds of latitude.

Mariana Trench 63 mm/yr ; 413.4 feet in 2000 years, equiv to 4.13 seconds of latitude.


And.. as a primer (ignore if you know) One Degree = Sixty Minutes, One Minute = Sixty Seconds.

The North End of Govenors Island in New York has a latitude of 40°41'34.42"N the South end has a latitude of 40°41'2.70"N, a difference of 31.72 seconds... or about 3172 feet. (also further west, but we are dealing with latitude only)

Interesting. It seems to me it could mean something. There is so much we don't know, that to discard ANYTHING that looks odd seems rather premature, IMHO, and could limit knowledge acquisition.

And just to stir the pot a little, has anyone asked or checked how continental drift could affect the alignments? Or does it matter?

Just curious....

Edited...
Well dang... I see a few posts up someone asked...
