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.

Well actually I did spend some time dealing in antique silver, this is a
misconception, what is termed English Silver plate is different to EPNS.

Why don't you just talk about something different then. I am well aware
that Sheffield plate is made by rolling, but that doesn't prevent EPNS
being electroplated, nor electroplating being first done in 1805 using
batteries.

Google maps don't Rotate,

Are you now talking about maps - drawings. What does that say about the
actual objects ?

Perhaps you really did mean Google Earth - photographs. And you can
orientate the photos in any direction.

and I have a very high quality 19" Dell CRT
monitor with a resolution set to 1024 x 1280, I don't get barrel distortion
Dell make some of the flattest distortion free monitors available and being
an artist and graphic designer by trade I recognise the importance of a
decent monitor :)

Regardless you were claiming you could use it to measure sub-pixel
accuracy.

Well if they were able to make batteries, you'd think they might have
noticed loadstone always points north.

They may well have had lodestones, but they do not 'point north', they
point to the magnetic poles and this has a deviation of several degrees
and this varies from place to place.  It seems to be about 4 degrees in
Egypt. So you think they used something with an accuracy of 4 degrees
to make something within one ? I already gave a mechanism that would
give an actual accuracy.

Finding North isn't a big problem I never said it was, finding the centre of
the landmass is however a different matter.

And, as the pyramids are not there, never were, and there is no
evidence at all that they were intended to be, this is just nonsense.

In any case the 'centre of the landmass' is not what was actually
claimed for the pyramids, it was that they were halfway between the
northernmost point of scandanavia and the southern tip of africa (which
is what is 'out' by 300 miles). The 'centre of landmass' can be just
about anywhere depending on what boundaries are used and is meaningless
for the whole globe.

Nope there are only 360 degrees in a circle there are 1.3 million pixels on
my monitor.

The stupidity of that statement is absolutely stunning.

They are reasonably accurate, as accurate as can be done with a stick
and some string.

LOL

Granted they are far more accurate than _you_ could do with stick and
string, but I could do as well given time (such as waiting for a
solstice).

Bearing in mind what one sees today are ruins, that have for the most part
lost their outer casing and been erroded by thousands of years of wind blown
sand one would not expect then to be as accurate as they were when first
constructed.

Given that the base has been permanently covered by sand laying over it
and has not suffered erosion then it is obvious that you just make up
stuff that you know nothing about.
