Anyone have info on this, I saw this thing on TV about 3 Major Ancient Cities all being 144 degrees from each other at an angle, and that how they are layed out is a way they used to Measure the earth or something like this.

Anything about Ancient Astrology would probably be the best path to finding what I am also looking for.

Line up the piramids with the constellation directly above, I remember something about that...its been awhile.

Fascinating topic, Modest-M and a lot on ATS in the archives.
It's a minefield of speculation, pseudo-science and outright charlatanism bbut one has to sift, of course.
It's not made easier by the fact that, unless one is pretty knowledgeable in these areas, one is exposed to assertions about dates, cultures and where the stars/planets were "then" as opposed to "now", that one is not equipped to verify.
Nevertheless, I'd recommend either searching a single place e.g. Chichen Itza or going to one of the less loony chatrooms/message boards you'll find if you search on "astrological alignment ancient cities"
Good hunting

In reality, of course, it's perfectly plausible that ancient peoples would align important religious structures to astronomical bodies. They were vitally important for everything from telling the time to sowing the crops.
We were navigating ships until not so very long ago on the same basis.
It's the suggestions concerning the "why" that are frequently objectionable.

Pyramids of Giza aligned with Orion's belt.

All the rest of the pyramids in Egypt can be a model of the universe.

Awsome Ill I knew someone would remember.

strange fact, the pyramids (as well as many other sites around the world) correspond to a date about 12,000 years ago (as in, that's when the stars looked exactly like that)

12,000 years.

I heard about that too. I'm trying to recall what I saw. The Egyptians built Giza when Orion's bet was at its lowest height in the sky, closer to the horizon which was 12,000 years ago.

It's coming back to me but slowly.

The heavens have been our main calender and clock since first homosapien said "look sky keep pattern, me follow pattern with rock." Walla stone henge and piramids. ok not that easy but still...
Ancient sailors, merchents and herders all relied upon the sky as a great oracle. Whos to say anythings changed, after all dont most cultures say everything moves in a circle, or spiral.

The Russian geologist who did a spacial analysis for Cydonia on Mars indicated that the orientation of all the objects suspected of being structures corresponded to the location of objects (pyramids) on the Giza Plateau.

I am convinced that Saddam is a marshin now.

How would you get the alligned without machines to help you. It would seem very hard to make them perfect to the degree. If any one knows how to do it tell me please.

the theory on tv was an outside source, that the lost civlization had the ablitly to travle outside the earth, or even possibley aliens. eh who knows.

Actually, it *is* possible to have such precise alignment if you have a basic understanding of the basis of surveying (geometry, a bit of algebra, and decently precise instruments to measure distance and angles).

Many of Europes cities were very precisely laid out for various reasons (some for trade/transport of goods, and some for defensive reasons) using only early theodolites, tapes (chains), and very early telescopes, and basic geometry.

I wrote in my post that the pyramids are lined up according to the position of Orion's Belt in 1,000 BC. It's supposed to be 10,000 BC.
