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.
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.

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", states Angela.
Many
of the documented areas will remain undisclosed until proper officials are
notified and the sites can be protected. Angela and the APEX Institute are
raising funds for a documentary that will include many of the undiscovered
sites that have been identified using Google Earth. Angela is also forming a
non-profit organization to promote satellite archaeology and remote sensing. A
select, small portion of the sites can be viewed online with Google Earth by
visiting Angela's "anomaly collection" at
