Hello ATS Folks,

Here is the ugly little question orthodox Egyptologists and scholars of ancient history simply cannot answer. It is a question that demonstrates with startling clarity that our ancient forebears fully understood and were thoroughly familiar with the landmasses of the Earth. How do we know this? Because they sited the most enigmatic and largest of all the pyramids in ancient Egypt almost precisely at the centre of the Earth's landmasses. For sure, there will be some here quick to dismiss this latest pronouncement with the same old, tired argumenmts we have all heard before. So, let's see.

The former Astronomer Royal of Scotland, Piazzi Smyth, in his book Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid (1880) writes that "...proceeding around the globe due north and due south of the Great Pyramid ... there is more earth and less sea in that meridian than in any other meridian all the equator round." (p. 89)



The standard response from the skeptics is that the Giza location is NOT in fact the centre of the land masses, that there are other locations that have more landmass. From Catchpenny:

Of course, the earth is a globe, not a flat projection. Smyth's meridian (in green below) crosses very little land on the other side of the earth, while a meridian near 70° W (in red below) crosses much more land on its way round the globe. If by "meridian" Smyth means a half-circle, then the claim's accuracy may still be disputed (it is entirely anecdotal and no mathematical proof has been offered). It appears that a meridian a few degrees to the west (in blue below) would cross more land. Source.




On the surface it appears that there is a good case for citing these other locations as having more landmass. However, what orthodox folks fail to recognise or highlight (and it is plainly marked in Smyth's original drawing) are the NE/SW and NW/SE landmass directions from Giza. When viewed in this context then it becomes clear that the Giza location is indeed, as Piazzi Smyth claimed all those years ago, the centre of the Earth's land mass (highlighted in green below).



Question: how is it even remotely possible for a technologically 'primitive' civilisation such as the Ancient Egyptians - who we are told rarely travelled beyond their own borders - to have known this? Does this not smack of a civilisation with far more knowledge than is presently being attributed to them? Or is it the case that what we are in fact observing here is a 'fingerprint of the Gods'?

Regards,

Scott Creighton

Interesting research and questions. I was just now looking at the Antipodes Map, and (if I'm looking at it properly) that does seem to support the notion of the pyramids being central to the Earth's landmass -- at least that which is above sea level.

I wonder if inclusion of undersea topography would support this as well.

Good thread!

I've read the book; "The Great Pyramid Decoded", by Peter Lemesurier.

There are many, many other questions that Egyptologists cannot answer regarding the Great Pyramid at Giza.

Here's a few more nuggets of interest:

The Great Pyramid not only reflects the Earth in volume and area but also in weight, for its estimated mass of 5.955 Million tonnes is approximately one billionth of the estimated mass of the Earth. (5.9 x 10 21 tonnes).


The Great Pyramid is a scale model of the Earth at a ratio of 1: 43,200


In the King's Chamber, we find one of the earliest examples of the 47th proposition of Pythagoras - A right angle, 3,4,5 triangle. The ratio of the north or south wall diagonal to the length of the chamber to the cubic diagonal of the chamber is exactly in the ratio of 3:4:5.


1. The direct corner to corner length of a side (A to E) is 26524.2 Pyramid Inches, which is precisely 100 times the length of a Mean Solar Tropical Year (Equinoctial)
2. The indented measurement of a side (ABDE) is 36525.6 Pyramid Inches whish is precisely 100 times the number of days in a Sidereal Year. (The Earths Solar Revolution)
3. The theoretical length of the declination of a side (ACE) is 36525.9 Pyramid Inches which is precisely 100 times the number of days in the Anomalistic Year (The Earth's Orbital Revolution)


One of the more interesting observations is this:

The length of a Great Year of (25,826.4 years) is indicated by the sum of the diagonals in the (Great Giza Pyramid) structure.


The Great Year is one complete precession of the equinox, the so called wobble that the Earth experiences. The measurment of this cycle is extemely difficult even by modern standards as it is one of the most minute motions in our Solar System.

Prcession speed is currently 243.8 microradians (50.3 arcseconds) per year which would give 25,765 years for one cycle to complete.

The information encoded in the Great Pyramids archetecture provides signifigant evidence in support of the belief that the Ancients had at some point, actually surveyed the entire globe! There is more evidence in support of that belief but maybe that should be left for another thread.

The ancient people may have in fact NOT known the exact masses of the earth at the time the pyramids were built. I have a theory, one that most people would not believe because no one ever really wants to know the truth, they deny it even when they beg for it. Once it is presented they debunk the truth. Truth is stranger than fiction, much stranger. In order to conclude the mysteries of the world one must study in depth many subjects then like a puzzle the peices fit, the more I learn the more I find that my theory works. Some people focus on science some people focus on theology some on geneology and others on creation or evolution, however they are only getting pieces of the puzzel and not seeing the whole picture, that is why many questions go unanswered. So these people probably cannot answer the question posed because they are only versed on one subject. My theory involves God, so many athiests and agnostics will reject the theory right off the bat. I am working on presenting my theory and will post a thread when I conclude the best way to comunicate it with facts as well as references. I just want to say that everything has it's place weather you believe it or not. Everything from geometry to biology to geography to pyramids to space so on and so forth, it is all conected by one beautiful chain that make up our world. It is much simplar than people try to make it to be but as long as people try to compartmentalise things they will never get it. It all goes back to two beings Satan and God, there is a reason for everything and it all fits perfectly.
