'Two New Pyramids' Found On Google Earth

Experts are examining satellite images of two possible new pyramid complexes in Egypt.

Two new pyramid complexes may have been discovered in a satellite survey of Egypt.

The potentially important sites, standing 90 miles apart, are made up of unusual-shaped mounds, according to archaeology researcher Angela Micol.

Ms Micol has spent the past 10 years searching for ancient sites from space using Google Earth.

The first area stands in Upper Egypt, some 12 miles from the city of Abu Sidhum along the Nile.

It includes a 620ft-wide triangular plateau - almost three times the size of the Great Pyramid.

1. Yea, saw this a couple days ago

Don't look like it to me, but send a couple guys to check it out anyways.

Wouldn't spend a whole lot of money until they got some sort of verification.

As an aside....

Egyptians spent most of their time by the Nile. There's really nothing large deeper in the desert. It's suppose to be HUGE AND 12 miles away from the Nile. How were they suppose to do that? ( yea, space aliens or the wisdom of the ancients. their time would have been better spent defeating smallpox or just getting enough to eat)

Like I said, send a couple guys, check it out. doubt it's anything.

5. It's how they kept agricultural workers employed in the dry season

and 12 miles isn't really that far. It's certainly close enough for supply routes to feed all the workers.

I'm just interested to see if these were early tombs that were constructed that way, or made into pyramids that were later cannibalized for the structures we still have today, or if they were started close to the collapse of that particular culture and simply never finished.

6. I was thinking about moving stones

12 miles is a long ways for a 1 ton block, using no wheels and only mud for lubricant.

As far as the pyramids go, Egyptologists agree there is a clear line from the first step pyramid to the pyramids at giza.

From what it sounds like to me, they have the records showing that.

7. 12 miles away from the Nile now. 4000-5000 years ago?

Maybe the Nile changed course

8. Egyptians built everything next to the Nile for 3000 years.

If that were so, I would expect they would find a long line of sites leading out, at least somewhat close, within a mile or so, at most 5 miles, to the "pyramids."

And with all the people over the past century digging up Egypt, they would have found some evidence.

Karnak, luxor, 3000+ years old and they're still there.

9. Nile moved. All rivers do.

10. So you have no doubt they're pyramids? nt

11. I believe they also made alot of canals for moving things inland to the nile and back.
