The Giza Prime Meridian
When European explorers first reached ancient Mexico they were struck by the great pyramids north of present day Mexico City. Their immediate assumption was that Mexico must have been an outpost of ancient Egypt and that the ideas of mummification, pyramid building as well as an obsession with stars were concepts derived from the Old World.
Modern anthropologists and archaeologists dismiss such notions and argue that pyramids in particular are simply the best architectural choice for building large structures from stone.
But that cannot explain their locations!
In The Atlantis Blueprint Rand drew attention to the simple fact that ancient sacred sites in the New World (and in the Pacific Ocean) lie at ten degree intervals from Egypt’s Great Pyramid.

Easter Island lies 140 degrees west of the Great Pyramid.

The pyramids at Teotihuacan (above) and Tula (sacred city of the Toltecs) are positioned at 130 degrees west of the Great Pyramid.

The pyramids at Copan (above) and Quirigua are found at 120 degrees west of the Great Pyramid. Also on this same longitude (one third of the distance around the globe from Giza) are pyramids at Chichen Itza and Lubaantum.

Quito, the northern capital of the Inca Empire, is 110 degrees west of the Great Pyramid. It lies on the equator. North Bimini, in the Florida Keys, is also 110 degrees west of Egypt’s Great Pyramid. It is the site of some unusual underwater stone structures that several researchers have associated with Atlantis. The so-called “Bimini Road” may be a natural formation.

The Gateway to the Sun at Tiahuanaco is a megalithic structure that lies 100 degrees west of the Great Pyramid.
To the East

The great Ziggurat at Ur lies exactly 15 degrees east of the Great Pyramid.

Lhasa, the capital of ancient Tibet, is 60 degrees east of the Great Pyramid.
This is only a partial list of sacred sites linked by longitude to the Great Pyramid.
It is a mistake, however, to assume that the ancient Egyptians visited or inspired the building of these sites. Rather, as we suggest in The Atlantis Blueprint, these sacred sites were built upon much older geodesic markers left by the survivors of Atlantis, thousands of years before the emergence of these later civilizations.

Hello Rand,
Thank you for your audience, I have read Atlantis Blueprints & I am compelled by the Giza Prime Meridian Theory.
Could this theory also help locate undiscovered sites & confirm locations of new found sites such as the potential “Paititi” site found in 2008 in southern Peru?
To help discover new potential locations for investigation I use Google Earth, if you also use this I would very much like to cross reference your work with what I have already mapped?
Geography unfortunately is not my strong point so although I have all ancient sites plotted could you advise how to see the Giza Prime Meridian system using the Google Earth N & W degree format?
Keep up the amazing work, I am sure through your dedicated work & collaboration with others the secrets of the ancient world will soon be unlocked!
Thank you for your time, & I eagerly await your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Paul

Thanks Paul ~ I’m not sure about the “Paititi” site until I have the coordinates. Please send them along and I will check.
