Your credulousness must be nearly infinite to swallow the "facts" on that 'timtouse' pyramid site without an entire salt mine's worth of garnish (forget about the proverbial grain of salt). The half-dozen "facts" I've checked (reference books of real facts do actually exist) so far are, without exception, wildly inaccurate, leading me to view all of his other assertions with deep skepticism.

Just one example will suffice: 'timtouse' claims that "The average height of land above sea level for the earth is 5,449 inches. This is also the height of the pyramid." 5,449 inches equals 454 feet -- of course, I'm using a standard calculator, which does not, as far as I know, render in "pyramid inches," whatever that ludicrous measure may represent. Unfortunately for 'timtouse' and his believers, the actual average elevation of the Earth above mean sea level exceeds 2,000 feet, or more than 24,000 inches; precise average elevation figures are surprisingly hard to determine, because sea level, the referent for determining land elevation, varies by time, location, relative positions of the Sun and the Moon and the resulting tidal vectors, and other factors.

Moreover, 'timtouse' is equating his false earth elevation with an approximation of the current height of the pyramid. When completed, it is generally calculated that the pyramid stood more than 480 feet in height. His hilarious 'average world land elevation = height of pyramid' statement would not, of course, have been true when the pyramid was completed -- unless those brilliant alien builders cleverly calculated the erosion of the pyramid's height eventually would yield a height of 5,449 inches in 2010.

Instead of swallowing nonsense whole, perhaps a little time spent checking such claims might be of more benefit.

I assume

that when dealing with such complexities over large time distances and large dimensions

and a range of very human conjectures involved with such . . .

there will be LOTS of things that are wrong and sometimes, some things that are right.

Are you saying that you really do not think there’s anything to do with Orien in terms of such ancient monument complexes and their configurations more or less exactly as the stars in Orien’s system?
