VIVAnews - Two pyramid
complex may have been found, based on Google Earth satellite
imagery
survey.
Both are
located far from each other, separated a distance of about 90 miles, or
about 144.8 kilometers. As seen in satellite images, each site contains an
unusual mound with attractive features and orientation. This was stated by
satellite archeology researcher Angela Micol of Maiden, NC.
One site is located in Upper Egypt, only 12 miles from the city of Abu Sindhun are located along the Nile River, consists of four mounds, and a triangular plateau.
Two large mounds estimated width of 250 feet or 76.2 meters. While two other mounds estimated width of 100 feet or 30.48 meters.
Complex formation site is arranged in a very clear with huge mounds elongated with a width of about 620 feet or 188.7 meters.
"Under closer examination of the formation, the top of the pile has a very flat and has the form of an equilateral triangle are eroded by time," says Micol its website, Google Earth Anomalies, as published in the international science, Discovery.
Interestingly, when the picture is enlarged triangular shape, it appears there are two features two 7-meter-wide circle looks almost in the middle of the triangle.
While the second site is 90 miles to the north, near the oasis of
Fayoum. pyramid complex both may contain four-sided, truncated mound that is
approximately 150 feet wide or 45.72 meters.
"It has a different center square was very unusual for that
size mound. From above almost looks like a pyramid, "wrote Micol. Located
just 1.5 miles in the southeastern city of ancient, Dimai, this site also has
three mounds smaller formations obvious. "Similar to the diagonal at the
Pyramids of Giza." "The color of dark dune and similar material
composition Dimai city walls are made of red brick and stone. "
History
of the ancient city Dimai
Founded
in the third century BC under Ptolemy Dynasty king, Ptolemy II
Philadelphus
(309
BC-246 BC), Dimai built on a Neolithic settlement, which is much older.
Also
known as Dimeh al-Siba, Dimeh of the Lions, the city is surrounded by red brick
walls are stretched, with a height of 32 feet and 16 feet thick. At its
center stands a ruined stone temple, dedicated to Soknopaios, crocodile
god. Indeed, the Greek name of the city is Soknopaiou Nesos, meaning
"island Soknopaios."
The city
is very popular among leading scientists, to papyrus, and other written
manuscript found among the ruins.
Dimai
reached its peak during the first and second centuries AD, thanks to its
location on major trade routes. But in the middle of the 3rd century AD it
began to be abandoned.
Micol
sure there's pyramid behind the mound. "The pictures speak for
themselves.'s Very clear the site of what may lie behind the mound.
However, required verification that in fact, it is a pyramid," he
said.
He
believes the use of infrared imagery will allow scientists to look at the
complex in more detail.
That was
not the only site that unfolds through Google Earth. Previously, the
researchers found a building suspected archaeological sites, including the
alleged underwater city off the coast of the Yucatan peninsula.
