Two unidentified, possible pyramid complexes have been located with satellite imagery from Google Earth.
One of the complex sites contains a distinct, four-sided, truncated,
pyramidal shape that is approximately 140 feet in width. This site
contains three smaller mounds in a very clear formation, similar to the
diagonal alignment of the Giza Plateau pyramids.
The second possible site contains four mounds with a larger,
triangular-shaped plateau. The two larger mounds at this site are
approximately 250 feet in width, with two smaller mounds approximately
100 feet in width. This site complex is arranged in a very clear
formation with the large plateau, or butte, nearby in a triangular shape
with a width of approximately 600 feet.
Proposed Pyramid Location
The sites have been documented and discovered by satellite
archaeology researcher Angela Micol of Maiden, North Carolina. Angela
has been conducting satellite archaeology research for over ten years,
searching for ancient sites from space using Google Earth. Angela is a
UNC Charlotte alumnus and has studied archaeology since childhood.
Google Earth has allowed her to document many possible archaeological
sites, including a potential underwater city off the coast of the
Yucatan peninsula that has sparked the interest of scientists,
researchers and archaeologists. Angela is also a board member of the
APEX Institute, founded by archaeologist William Donato, who is
pioneering underwater archaeological research in the Bahamas. Angela has
been assisted by Don J. Long, fellow APEX researcher and colleague.
The sites have been verified as undiscovered by Egyptologist and
pyramid expert Nabil Selim. Nabil’s discoveries include the pyramid
called Sinki at Abydos and the Dry Moat surrounding the Step pyramid
Complex at Saqqara. Nabil has stated the smaller 100 foot “mounds”, at
one of the proposed complex sites, are a similar size as the 13th
Dynasty Egyptian pyramids, if a square base can be discovered.
Next Steps
The Egyptian sites have been sent to Egyptologists and researchers
for further investigation and “ground truthing”. Angela has stated, “The
images speak for themselves. It’s very obvious what the sites may
contain but field research is needed to verify they are, in fact,
pyramids and evidence should be gathered to determine their origins. It
is my hunch there is much more to these sites and with the use of
Infrared imagery, we can see the extent of the proposed complexes in
greater detail.” This is just one site of many Angela has identified
that may contain ancient ruins. “My dream is to work with archaeologists
to release sites that I have identified over the past ten years of
research. This research is the frontier of discovery and it’s just
beginning to advance views of our ancient past
