Many popular authors suggest possibility that mysterious sites around
the world were created with help of advanced knowledge and technology
(possibly more advanced than our current one) possessed by lost
civilizations. Others do not believe that there ever was very advanced
civilization on earth and all of the superb knowledge was handed down to
us by ancient astronauts who came down from heaven. Most scientists do
not subscribe to any of these ideas and try to explain ancient enigmas
on the ground of religion and ritual…
In this section we are presenting few sites that are still causing controversy in the scientific community.
The circumference of this line around the center of the Earth is
24,892 miles. Along this line, the great circle distance from the Great
Pyramid to Ollantaytambo is 7,472 miles, 30.0% of the circumference.
Ollantaytambo is 2,579 miles from Easter Island, 10.3%. Easter Island is
10,096 miles from Angkor Wat, 40.6%. Angkor Wat is 2,490 miles from
Mohenjo Daro, 10.0%. Mohenjo Daro is 2255 miles from from the Great
Pyramid, 9.1%. In addition to calculating the distances between these
sites as a percentage of the circumference of the Earth, the distances
may also be calculated in degrees of the 360° circumference, by
multiplying the percentage by 3.6. For example, the Great Pyramid is
108° away from Ollantaytambo. Near Ollantaytambo, Machupicchu is within one quarter of a degree and Cuzco is within one third of a degree of the alignment.

Mysterious Alignment
Another puzzle is mysterious alignment of world’s
ancient sites. Easter Island is exactly aligned along a straight line
around the center of the Earth, with the Nazca lines, Ollantaytambo and
the Great Pyramid of Egypt. Other world wonders that are within one
tenth of one degree of this alignment include: Perseopolis, the capital
city of ancient Persia; Mohenjo Daro, the ancient capital city of the
Indus Valley; the Oracle of Zeus-Amon at Siwa; and the lost city of
Petra. The Ancient Sumarian city of Ur and Angkor temples in Cambodia
and Thailand are within one degree of latitude of this alignment.
The alignment of these sites is easily observable on a
globe of the Earth with a horizon ring. If you line up any two of these
sites on the horizon ring, all of the sites will be right on the horizon
ring. 3-D world atlas software programs can also draw this line around
the Earth. Start on the Equator, at the mouth of the Amazon River, at
48° 36′ West Longitude; go to 30° 22′ North Latitude, 41° 24′ East
Longitude, in the Middle East, which is the maximum latitude the line
touches; then go to the Equator at 131° 24′ East Longitude, near the
Northwest tip of New Guinea; then to 30° 22′ South Latitude, 138° 36′
West Longitude, in the South Pacific; and then back to 48° 36′ West
Longitude, at the Equator.
