Every time that you post you show that you know less, no wonder you are
impressed by the priests of UFOlogy. Batteries were well known in
Victorian times having been invented in the 18th century by Volta and
applied to make electroplated goods such as EPNS silverware and jewlery
before Victoria came to the throne.
you use google to see the perfect alignment?
hahaha...that's like using a car to paint a picture.
What makes you think Google Maps are that inaccurate?
It isn't the maps that are inaccurate, it is attempting to see an
alignment to the side of your monitor, or some other 'north', when the
mouse can rotate the image and you may have barrel distorsion in your
monitor.
I would think they
would have to be extremly accurate since they are used with Global
positioning systems.
GPS by itself is accurate to about 100 metres. So if you were to take
a GPS reading at two corners of the pyramid and draw a line on a map
between the points given this may be in almost any direction.
The Magnetic Poles are not static in any case,
If you think that the alignment is to 'magnetic north' or was done
using any form of compass then you are even less informed than I
thought. I posted a method of doing it using just a stick and a
string.
if they are accurate to 1
degree that's accurate enough.
And that is certainly achievable using a stick and a string, no ET
required, no compass, just a bit of common sense and a couple of clues.
forget google!
it isn't a science tool!
only pretty pictures...
There's no reason to suspect it's inaccurate.
It is only as 'accurate' as your mouse and your monitor. The width of
a pixel will put it 'out' a degree or two.
Why? I'm not trying to educate anyone, convert people or prove anything. I
don't care what people believe. All I am saying is the pyramids do seem to
be very accurately aligned and people can check it out for themselves.
They are reasonably accurate, as accurate as can be done with a stick
and some string.
You sould also note that the sides are not all exactly the same length,
they are out by a few inches, the sort of accuracy that would be
expected for the measuring being done with bits of string or a wheel
(cf how they used to measure roads until recently).
