There is very little in life that I think is impossible. The reason, I found this article, is I was watching the show...just struck me as odd. The explanation (above) that this meant the driest lines is kind of funny, but they did finish the explanation (on the show) with "the exact center of all the land mass in the world". The fact remains...none of us know, but, the truth is out there. “The only thing that makes sense”…is that I don’t know the truth. There is very little in life that I think is impossible.

The north-south axis is the longest land meridian, passing through Asia, Africa, Europe, and Antarctica, and the east-west axis is the longest land parallel running through the African, Asian, and north American continents. These two lines of latitude and longitude on which it lies pass through more land and less water than any others. In layman's language the pyramid lies at the very center of the earth's entire land mass. T he only other point of intersection of these two lines is over the ocean.

Please listen a little better and use your comprehension skills before you make a rebuttal. They actually say this on the show that you guys are referring to.

I believe what they mean to say is that the Great Pyramid is located at the exact center of the Earth's land mass. That is, its East-West axis corresponds to the longest land parallel across the Earth, passing through Africa, Asia, and America. Similarly, the longest land meridian on Earth, through Asia, Africa, Europa, and Antarctica, also passes right through the Pyramid. Since the Earth has enough land area to provide 3 billion possible building sites for the Pyramid, the odds of it's having been built where it is are 1 in 3 billion. Coincidence? I think not. http://www.europa.com/~edge/pyramid.html Granted, this fact is not stated accurately in the Ancient Alien Series.

But when I heard the claim, Giza located at the longest line of latitude and the longest line of longitude, I knew they were wrong! I went to my computer to confirm it and saw immediately Giza isn't on the equator and I knew already the lines of longitude are all the same. Actually, they are constantly changing due to the moon's gravitational pull. I was relieved to find your blog post because I know I'm not the only one out there who realizes they were wrong. I think the show is wrong about a lot of things now. I have seen that episode numerous times now and I disagree with most of what they say, though it does get one thinking. A lot of it is just simple logic. They make claims like, a gold statue looks like a spaceship. Well, it doesn't look that much like a spaceship, and think of how many statues don't look like spaceships! It's a case where they see one thing deviate from the rest and they claim it's ancient aliens. Nope. I no longer believe.

If so, it was certainly unclear and obviously was inartfully worded. But here is another writer's summary of Seiss' finding: "Dr. Seiss and others have shown that the Pyramid lies in the center of gravity of the continents, dividing earth's land mass into approximately equal quarters. The north-south axis (31 degrees East of Greenwich) is the longest land meridian, and the east-west axis (30 degrees North) is the longest land parallel on the globe. The only place where these lines of the terrestrial earth can intersect, is at the Great Pyramid." (Quote taken from http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/great.htm as it appeared on 01/22/2011.)

I just happened to hear "...the Great Pyramid resides at the intersection of the longest line of latitude and the longest line of longitude." I couldn't believe my ears, so I paused the show and hit Google to try and sort this out. Turns out there's no real mystery to this after all. The fact that all lines of longitude are the same length is literally third grade material. I know this, because I helped my nine year-old daughter study latitude and longitude a month ago. Shame on History Channel for such shoddiness and devolving into all this paranormal crap. My TiVo was on History Channel when I turned on the TV a few minutes ago.

"longest line of longitude"... and the way the narrator(not the crazy "experts") said it as if it were just a simple fact... i thought i must have missed something in geography class. so i hopped on google to figure it out.. and here i am. thanks for the back-story on Seiss and getting me to remember where Egypt was.. haha. “How many people, without the necessary knowledge to be critical of such claims, swallow them whole?
