3. alignments.

The simple and straight-forward fact is that, not only are all the "pyramids" aligned to all the others on the continent around them, but they are also aligned to one another across the vast expanses of oceans as well. Most of the pyramid building cultures we have examined inhabited a thin latitude and established coastal or river-centric cultures in the 6 places civilization independently formed during the Bronze Age: in India, the Near East, Europe, China, Africa and the Americas during the so-called "Old World" or "Axial Age" from 2800 to 2200 years ago. These gave way to the Classical Period of Hellenism in Greece and Rome, the Persian Empire and Second Temple Judaism in the Middle-East, the Empire of India and China, under the Qin and Han Dynasties, in conflict with various tribal nomads such as the Huns, the Xiongnu and the Kok Turk Empire). During the Maudner Minimum of the sunspot cycle, Europe experienced a "mini-Ice Age" and its economic living conditions plummeted to form what has since been called the feudal "Dark Ages," however this was contemporary to the Islamic Golden Age of Caliphates prior to the Ottoman Empire, as well as a time of many new feudal city-state based "empires" across Asia, southeast Asia, MesoAmerica, the Andes Mountains (S. America) and Africa. Now we live in the "modern era" identified by the "western world" of Europe, the Americas, Eastern Orthodox Church countries (Greece, Russia, Southeast Europe, Ukraine, Belarus, etc.), Australia and Israel versus the "Islamic world" of the Arab Middle East, Turkey, South Africa and Somalia, the "Eastern World" or "Far East" comprised of South and East Asia (the "Sinosphere" of Chinese influence) and sub-Saharan Africa / South Africa still populated by indigenous tribes.

During these last 6,000 years or so, we have gone through no fewer than 3 "Solar Aeons" of around 2,000 years apiece. This means the entire sky-line has been changed, and concordantly all the religious iconography of our species associated to it has had to be changed along with it. 100 years ago, the magician and self-proclaimed "Ipsissimus" (head chief) of all then existent "secret societies," Aliester Crowley, working from a deciphering of an ancient Egyptian stele of the demi-deity Hoor-Pah-Kraat, whom he believed cognate to Greek Harpocrates, established the continuity thus far of three aeons: the first of the Mother, the second of God the Father, and the third of the "Crowned and Conquering Child" whom he identified with Isis, Osiris and with Horus-Ra respectively.

Prior to this beginning of our now known civilization, from before 6,000 years ago, to at least around 50,000 years ago, when we originated Africa and reached "behavioral modernity" as a species (having achieved anatomical modernity some 150,000 years prior to even then), there is a blank space in our historical records as a species. Supposedly, our genetic ancestors were the protohominid species "homo ergaster erectus," (from the early Plesistocene, between 1.8 million and 1.3 million years ago) oldest of the African hominid species, and "homo heidelbergensis" (from 600,000 to 400,000 years ago) are considered to be the "Adam" and "Eve" to both our species (Asian homo sapiens) and our European genetic cousin branch from 33,000 years ago, that subsequently went extinct around 24,000 years ago, "homo neanderthalensis." Interbreeding between modern humans and neanderthals took place from 80,000 to 50,000 years ago, and neanderthals contribute as much as 4% of our total DNA genome to the entire population of our species today.

Many ancient scholars postulated on the problem of human civilization seeming to have developed spontaneously (during the Bronze Age), independently (across 6 of the 7 total global continents, all except glaciated, south-polar Antarctica) and yet all had the same basic working knowledge of craft and tools to design and build with. They coined the phrase our modern civilization "arose suddenly, as if fully formed." Why, otherwise, would a species, dormant for 200,000 years, suddenly begin to spontaneously develop similar cultures at various independent geographic locations? And how can we account for the seemingly missing aeons between the date of our species origins, some 200,000 years ago, and when the first civilizations began in Jericho and Gobleki Tepe, some 8,000 - 10,000 years ago at the most? How did the various cultures of the "Axial Age" world know how to build pyramids, and why did they all align them (north-south-east-west) according to this "Giza Equator" of alignments that connected them all along a single line? And what does it mean that they all align, even Angkor Wat built much later, to the last position of the north geographic pole's location (from 80 to 48,000 years ago), and not to its present site?

3A. of the pyramids to constellations

Over the last 200 million years, the axial tilt of earth's geographic poles has travelled some 30°. This means the north pole and the south pole have occupied multiple locations. Between 810 and 790 million years ago, during the epoch of the super-continent called Rodinia, true "polar wander" events might have occurred twice, shifting the earth's magnetic poles by ~55°. The Cyrillic etymology of this super-continent's name means "the Motherland," and it formed from 1.1 billion years ago from the previous super-continent Columbia, formed from global-scale collision events 2.1 to 1.8 billion years ago, to 750 million years ago, when it broke apart during the Neopoterozoic and re-assembled to form Pangea some 300 to 250 million years ago, that once covered the entire land-mass of planet earth. The "true polar wander" the broke up "Rodinia" and formed "Pangea" should not be confused with geomagnetic polarity reversal events, that have happened 5 times over 1 million years, around 72 million years ago, 10 times over 4 million years, some 54 million years ago, 13 times over 3 million years,  24 million years ago, 51 times in a 12 million year period centering on 15 million years ago, and twice over the last 50,000 years. During a "geomagnetic pole reversal" there are multiple locations of various, equally strong "north" and "south" magnetic poles. Unlike solar plasma-magnetic polar reversal events, which occur as sunspot cycle peaks every 9-12 years, the geo-magnetic polar reversals known to have occurred on earth have happened during periods of low intensity for Earth's EM-field strength.

What does all this have to do with pyramid mapping? The ancients reckoned the size of the earth in cubits, a measure devised from measuring the length of an average person's fore-arm from the elbow to the tip of the middle-finger, as such being about 7 "palms" 4 "finger"-widths each and using "cubit rods" of about 52.5 centimeters. However even prior to this there was a method for measuring that was far more exact, called the "megalithic yard," which was given as about 0.83 meters, and a "megalithic rod" of about 2 and 1/2 "megalithic yards." Each "megalithic rod" could be divided by 100 and "megalithic yard" divided by 40, called a "megalithic inch" (of 2.073 centimeters). The Megalithic Yard, once called the "Greek Fathom" (of 2.072 meters) was equal to the diagonal of a rectangle measuring 2 by 1 Egyptian "remens" (of 5 "palms" or 20 "finger"-widths).

The size of the earth, calculated by these measures, will yield various different number sums. But the ratios for angles between these various different number sums will always stay the same, even when translating between the various number-based systems. For example, 1/2 of 180 is 90, of 90 is 45, etc. and 1/2 of 72 is 36, etc. while 3/5ths of 360 is 216,1/3rd of 216 is 72 and 1/3rd of 36 is 12, etc. Although the sums may differ the ratios themselves are the same between them. The mean radius of earth is 6,371 kilometers (it's exactly 6,378.1 km from the core to the current equator and exactly 6,356.8 km from core to pole), it's circumference is 40,075.017 km (equatorial), 40,007.86 km (meidional) with an axial tilt of 23°26'21.4119", orbiting the sun at an average velocity of 29.78 kilometers per second, or about 107,200 km / hour. In cubits, these measures differ, and in the "megalithic yard" or "Greek Fathom," they differ yet a third time. But the ratios remain the same, and therein lies the lesson.

3A1. Giza alignment is "upside down" (N/S) to Orion

It can be found that, along the latitudinal "Giza Equator," a great arc may be drawn from Angkor Wat to Teotihuacan with Giza at its center. The ratio of this great arc's completion around the rest of the globe between Teotihuacan in Mexico and Angkor Wat in Cambodia is this the same distance as between the Teotihuacan and Giza or between Giza and Angkor Wat. Along the "Giza Equator," these three monuments are about equidistant from one another, forming a "triangle" of ruins along a forgotten equator from when earth's geographic polar location was off-set from its present location from 17,000 to some 12,000 years ago or so. However, this is only the figurative "tip of the ice berg" in these matters, as the Temple of Angkor Wat is (alike Incan Machu Pichu in the Andes Mountains of Peru) aligned to the constellation the Pleiades (the 7 sister stars), while Teotihuacan and Giza are both aligned to the constellation of Orion's belt stars (the 3 kings). Their alignment is exact and precise both within their own confines, to their own cultures, as well as in alignment with one another across the aeonic spans of time, however, they are not aligned to the stars exactly as they appear in the heavens.

The "3 kings" of Orion's belt, the stars (from west to east) of Mintaka (Delta Orionis - a double star system), Alnilam (Episilon Orionis) and Alnitak (Zeta Orionis) do align to the Giza Necropolis' 3 Pharoahnic pyramids, however, in Egypt, the smallest of the three pyramids, the pyramid of Menkere, signifying the smallest, double-star system Mintaka, whose alignment is slightly off-set (by around 10°) is in the furthest west-most position, and Khufu's Pyramid (the largest) symbolizing the star Alnkitak, is facing east-most of all three. This makes the arrangement of the Giza pyramids "upside down and backwards" from if their appearance in the sky were to be plotted as descending directly down onto the surface of the earth. Instead, they are symmetrically mirror-reflected.

3A2. Yucatan alignment is north to south along the "avenue of the dead"

The second site of the two primary pyramid complexes known to be aligned to the "3 kings" stars of the constellation of Orion's belt, in Teotihuacan, is also, likewise, not oriented to an exactly accurate reflection nor direct imagining of this constellation's orientation upon the earth. As mentioned, it is inclined at an angle of about 15.5° from modern "true" geographic north-south / east-west orientation, in keeping with the theory it is aligned to a previous position of earth's geo-magnetic polar axis locations, prior to 12,000 years ago. However, the "Avenue of the Dead" itself is aligned along a north-south axis, rather than along an east-west axis, and so this places the alignment of these pyramids geographically perpendicular to the Giza Necropolis, which is oriented along an east-west angle. This fact, that Teotihuacan and Giza form a right-angle with one another's orientations, is often overlooked. Teotihuacan was, most likely, built about the same time that Jesus walked the earth in Galilee and Roman Judea, or about 2,500 years after the Giza pyramids of Egypt, Africa.
