The ancient Roman city of Timgad is located in the West of the African continent, 160 km from the Mediterranean coast. It is believed that the city was founded by the Roman Emperor Trajan about 2000 years ago, in whose honor the triumphal arch of the same name was erected.
Timgad has a clear rectangular layout and covers an area of approximately 1 square km.
The city was built using advanced technologies and had everything you need for a comfortable life. Theaters were built, grandiose temples that are not inferior to the Roman ones, baths, libraries, colonnades, and much more. In General, Timgad is a continuous development of various structures that have different orientations.
After the Arab invasion in the 7th century, the city fell into decline and was eventually buried by sand, so it is well preserved. At the end of the 19th century, Timgad was rediscovered and after excavations found a new life, being popular with tourists.
The Foundation of the city in this harsh place raises many questions, because even today, it is a fairly sparsely populated area, far from large cities, seas and caravan routes, at an altitude of 1000 meters. Historians say that Timgad was intended as a city for former military personnel who were ready to explore new territories, and as an Outpost controlling the routes to the Sahara. What to control there is unclear.
However, if you look at the location of the city relative to the key points of the system of ancient monumental structures (SAMS), it turns out that the place of its Foundation is not accidental.
The key points of the SAMS are the most grandiose structures of antiquity – the Great pyramid (the starting point), Teotihuacan, Tiwanako, Stonehenge, Baalbek, Nan Madol, Uluru, Easter Island, Angkor and some others, to which, by and large, all the others are tied. Therefore, all patterns associated with the location of an object are always determined only relative to the above key points. Because otherwise, you can always find a suitable ancient object, the benefit of hundreds of thousands.
Therefore, a limited number of reference points is a prerequisite for the quality of patterns. If the same patterns are detected in relation to the same objects, then there is a System in their location.
As already mentioned, Timgad has a huge number of different structures, oriented in different ways. The basis of the city plan is set by two wide colonnades starting from the arc de Triomphe. The Central colonnade, oriented in the East direction, coincides with the direction to Baalbek (azimuth 84.78°).
The main part of the city is oriented parallel to the Central colonnade, and therefore also coincides with the orientation of Baalbek.
The direction to Teotihuacan from the Trajan Arch has an azimuth of 294.75° and coincides with the orientation of the second colonnade going in a North-West direction. If we subtract the Baalbek azimuth from the Teotihuacan azimuth, we will see that the angle between these directions, with an error of 3 hundredths of a degree, corresponds to the angle of the hexagram 210°/150°. (294.75° - 84.78° = 209.97°)
This can be seen by turning the hexagram 5.25° counterclockwise and superimposing it on the layout of the city.
The red line shows the direction to Baalbek, and the green line shows the direction to Teotihuacan.
But this is not all in this combination. The azimuth to Angkor (the center of the Angkor Thom temple), has a value of 74.81° and differs from the direction to Baalbek by 10°, and from the direction to Teotihuacan by 140°. That is, on the corners of a nonagon-nine-polygon. Therefore, if we replace the hexagram with a hexagon, we get all three directions from the orientation of the two colonnades.
The image above clearly shows that the rectangular structure in the Western part of the city has a direct orientation to Angkor, which is shown by a bright red line. The green line is the direction to the center of the pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan, and the light red line is the direction to Baalbek.
Next-the direction of the Great pyramid of Giza, whose azimuth at the point of Timgad is 97.89° and coincides with the orientation of one of the temples in the North-West of the city.
The direction to the Great pyramid is shown by a blue line.
The direction to the Nan Madola center in Timgad is 37.72°, and the direction to Tiwanako is 247.98°. Thus, the azimuth of Tiwanako (beige line) differs from the azimuth of the great pyramid by the angle of the hexagram 150° with an error of 0.09°. (247.98° - 97.89° = 150.09°)
The azimuth of the Nan Madola (lilac line) also differs from the azimuth of the great pyramid by the angle of the hexagram 60°, though with a slightly greater error. 97.89° - 37.72° = 60.17°
Thus, from the orientation of the temple, you can get directions to the three most important objects of the SDMS. At the same time, it is easy to notice that the rectangular proportions of the temple correspond to the proportions of the hexagram rectangle.
The layout of the main part of the Timgad consists of several large squares, inside which there are smaller squares. If you take the diagonal of a large square consisting of 16 small ones (4x4), this will also be the direction to Nan Madol. Thus, all three directions can be obtained from the General layout of the city.
It is obvious that these patterns can not be random, but this is not all.
One of the temples of Timgad has a direct orientation to Easter island. Azimuth - 259.69°. The lilac line in the image below.

The orientation of the other temple corresponds to the direction of Stonehenge. Azimuth-341.76°. The blue line in the image below.
The orientation of another temple corresponds to the direction of Uluru. Azimuth-93.91°. The orange line in the image below.
Timgad. The direction to Uluru.
The direction to Uluru can be obtained in another way, from the layout of the city, using a hexagram.
The direction to another key point of the SAMS-Big Zimbabwe at Timgad has an azimuth of 153.45° and differs from the azimuth of Uluru-93.91°, at an angle close to the angle of the hexagram 60°.
One of the temples of Timgad has a direct orientation to the Greater Zimbabwe. Therefore, if you combine the hexagram with the orientation of the structure, you can get the direction to the Big Zimbabwe and Uluru. In addition, the SAMS, Uluru and Greater Zimbabwe are two clearly interconnected sites. For example, they divide the line connecting them into exactly 4 parts.
In addition, the city of Timgad has structures and directions whose azimuths correspond to the angles of regular geometric shapes counted from the direction to the North.
The image below shows an object whose orientation corresponds to the angle of the pentagram 54°/234°.
Another small temple is oriented according to the corners of the 8-gon (octagon), counted from the direction to the North.
The direction to Por-Bazhyn at this point has an azimuth of 44.96° and coincides with the orientation of the temple, as well as with the angle of the octagon of 45°.
The direction to Newgrange has an azimuth of 337.57° and with an error of 7 hundredths also corresponds to the angle of the octagon, oriented to the cardinal directions. Therefore, if you combine the 8-square with the orientation of the temple, you can determine the directions to Port Bazhyn and Newgrange.
In conclusion, we can say that these patterns are not unique, and are characteristic of many ancient cities, temples and other objects. Timgad is another obvious confirmation of the existence of a global system of ancient structures on our planet, a description of which can be found on the pages of our website.
Therefore, today we can say with full confidence that the location of most ancient cities was not chosen by chance, their location is clearly regulated and well-founded.
