 A SECOND EASTER ISLAND ALIGNMENT

JIM ALISON   OTHER GREAT CIRCLE ALIGNMENTS OF ANCIENT SITES

In Global Sacred Alignments, Terry Walsh diagrams several alignments of ancient sites on straight lines around the center of the earth, and mentions several others. He addresses the alignment of the Great Pyramid with Easter Island, Machupicchu and Persepolis, and he diagrams an alignment of Easter Island with Tiahuanaco, Luxor, Mohenjo Daro, Varanasi and Bandiagara, the ancient land of the Dogons. This second alignment also crosses over Dendera, Bodh Gaya and Mandalay.

The total circumference of this second alignment is 24,892 miles. The great circle distance from Easter Island to Tiahuanaco is 2,703 miles, 10.8% of the total circumference. The distance from Tiahuanaco to Bandiagara is 4,930 miles, 19.8%. The distance from Bandiagara to Luxor is 2,473 miles, 9.9%. The distance from Luxor to Easter Island’s antipodal point in the Indus Valley near Ganweriwali is 2,363 miles, 9.5%.

Because Easter Island, Machupicchu, the Great Pyramid, the Indus Valley and Angkor are also aligned at 10% intervals around the earth, there is a high coincidence of paired sites along these two alignments. In addition to the convergence of the two alignments at Easter Island and Mohenjo-Daro, Machupicchu is paired with Tiahuanaco and the Great Pyramid is paired with Luxor. If the pairing of these sites along these two alignments is not a coincidence, two good places to look for other ancient sites would be in the Sahara Desert, near the border between Mali and Mauritania, at 21° N, 7° 40' W, 2,488 miles southwest of the Great Pyramid, and in the shallow water of the South China Sea, just off the coast of Vietnam, at 18°43'N, 106°27'E, 2,488 miles southeast of Mohenjo-Daro.

The axis points of this great circle are 62°03'N, 124°40'W and 62°03'S, 55°20'E. The great circle crosses the equator at 34°40'W and 145°20'E. The upper latitudes are 27°57'N at 55°20'E and 27°57'S at 124°40'W.

JIM ALISON   OTHER GREAT CIRCLE ALIGNMENTS OF ANCIENT SITESAlthough the original temple at Dendera was built at the beginning of dynastic Egypt, it is believed that the temple was restored and the zodiac was carved almost 3,000 years later. In ancient Egypt, the hippopotamus represented the body of the constellation now known as Draco, and the bull's thigh represented the Big Dipper (Ursa Major). When the Dendera Zodiac is believed to have been carved (around 150 B.C.), the celestial north pole was above the Big Dipper, closer to Polaris than Thuban. The location of the center of the Dendera Zodiac suggests that it was carved much earlier or carved to represent a much earlier time, when the celestial north pole was close to Thuban, around the beginning of dynastic Egypt. It is also believed that the temple at Dendera was originally dedicated to the star god Sirius-Isis. Sirius is also central to the religious beliefs of the ancient Dogon tribe that still inhabits the Bandiagara escarpment in Mali. In 1862 it was discovered by modern science that Sirius is orbited by a white-dwarf companion star, invisible to the naked eye. The ancient religious beliefs of the Dogons, handed down to the present day, as well as ancient Egyptian writings, both suggest a much earlier awareness of this dual nature of the Sirius star system.

This is the same as the great cirlce distance from Giza to Nazca, creating a terrestrial triangle with the same angular dimensions as the great pyramid and creating the same φ relationship along this alignmnet. The distance along this great circle from Coba to Tongariro is 7464 miles. This is the same as the distance from Giza to Ollantaytambo, creating a terrestrial triangle with the same angular dimensions as the second pyramid at Giza and creating the same π and φ relationships along this alignment.

JIM ALISON   OTHER GREAT CIRCLE ALIGNMENTS OF ANCIENT SITESThe visual similarity between alignments of ancient sites around the world and the Nazca lines suggests that Nazca may be an ancient map of the alignments of world wonders. The following illustrations are 3-D representations of the alignments, centered on Mohenjo Daro and Easter Island. The alignments that do not cross over Mohenjo Daro and Easter Island are curved because the perspective of this 3-D illustration is not centered along those lines.

JIM ALISON   OTHER GREAT CIRCLE ALIGNMENTS OF ANCIENT SITESThe following diagram is based on Maria Reiche's 30 year study of the Nazca lines. If the Nazca lines do portray alignments of world wonders, it appears that at least three locations of convergent alignments are diagrammed here, as well as additional single or multiple alignments.

Diagramed below are the three great circle alignments that include Mecca, and the four great circle alignments that include Easter Island and Mohenjo-Daro. Because one of the alignments includes all three sites, a total of six great circle alignments are shown. All of the intersections of these alignments that are above sea level are sites of historic or prehistoric world wonders. From left to right, the marked sites are Easter Island, Fatima, Rome, Siwa, Giza, Luxor, Mecca and Mohenjo-Daro.

 JIM ALISON   OTHER GREAT CIRCLE ALIGNMENTS OF ANCIENT SITESTHE WAY OF THE DEAD

The largest pyramid complex in the Americas is located Northeast of Mexico City, at Teotihaucan. The entire ancient city was built on a geometric grid anchored by a central avenue that begins at the Pyramid of the Moon. This avenue, also known as the Way of the Dead, points 15.5 West of due South, and 15.5 degrees East of due North. Extending the alignment of the Way of the Dead to the South, it comes very close to crossing directly over Easter Island. Although Easter Island is antipodal to the Indus Valley, it is more nearly antipodal to the unexcavated city of Ganweriwali than to Mohenjo Daro. Extending the alignment of the Way of the Dead to the North, over the polar regions and back down through Eurasia, it crosses directly over Mohenjo-Daro.

PART II

The Great Pyramid is in the center of the equidistant azimuthal projection above left, and the circle is 7,685 miles away. In addition to Nazca and Teotihuacan, several other major ancient sites in the Americas are very close to the alignment of this circle, including Tula and Cholula in the Valley of Mexico; Monte Alban and Mitla in Oaxaca; and Tucume, Chan Chan, Moche, Sechin, Caral, Marcahuasi, Pachacamac and Tambo Colorado along coastal Peru. This same circle is projected above right, from the perspective of the other axis point for this circle (the Great Pyramid's antipodal point in the South Pacific Ocean) and from there, the circle is 4,750 miles away. The ratio between the distance from every one of these sites to the Great Pyramid, and from every one of these sites to the antipodal point of the Great Pyramid, approximates φ within a margin of error of less than two tenths of one percent:

                                7,685 miles/4,750 miles = 1.618 (φ)

JIM ALISON   OTHER GREAT CIRCLE ALIGNMENTS OF ANCIENT SITESIN SEARCH OF ATLANTIS

PART II

A circle drawn around 20°55'S 26°10'W with a great circle radius of 5,180 miles crosses over the Great Pyramid, Easter Island, Palenque, Dzibilchaltun, Stonehenge, the Acropolis, Thera and Palaikastro. The distance from the North Pole to 15° north latitude is also 5,180 miles. Thus, the circumference of this circle is the same as the circumference of the 15th parallels. Northwest of the Acropolis, Delphi and Dodona are close to the circle. Northwest of the Great Pyramid, the ancient capitals of Alexandria and Sais in Egypt are close to the circle. Several pyramids and other sites of ancient construction, including Saqqara, are south-south-east of the Great Pyramid and on or near this circle. A number of Mayan and Olmec sites between Palenque and Dzibilchitun on the Yucatan Peninsula are also close to this circle, including Uxmal and Edzna.

 

JIM ALISON   OTHER GREAT CIRCLE ALIGNMENTS OF ANCIENT SITESTiny Ilhas Martin Vaz, the last link in an old island chain running east from the coast of Brazil, is located at 20°28'S 28°51'W, just over two degrees west of 20°55'S 26°10'W. Ilhas de Trindade is the next to last island in the chain, located at 20°30'S 29°19'W. The British astronomer, Edmund Halley, once took over Trindade on behalf of the British Crown. Trindade is famous for a UFO sighting that was photographed in 1958. In addition to the two locations that were suggested as possible sites for the submerged island of Atlantis in A New Look at an Old Design, another good place to look is just East of Ilhas Martin Vaz, at 20°55'S 26°10'W.
