Looks like this stuff is on the way to Enterprise Mission. :') The suggestion of resemblance to the 13th dynasty structures (Middle Kingdom-era, the stuff built by the Israelites; also of that era is the Canal of Joseph, which ran Nile water out to the construction area) resonated with me. More interesting though (to me) were her finds of submerged pairs of straight lines (off Cornwall, off Bahamas, etc).

The image below is approximately 620 feet wide. For comparison purposes the Great Pyramid is 208 feet in width. This mound feature is almost 3 times the size of the Great Pyramid. Upon closer examination of the formation, it appears to have a very flat top and a curiously symmetrical triangular shape that has been heavily eroded with time.

This mound is approximately 150 feet wide and has a distinct square center which is very unusual for a mound of this size and it almost seems pyramidal when seen from above... Enhanced Image reveals 4 distinct sides and a truncated top.

Is that anywhere near South Florida? You know, the Geezer Plateau?

It stands to reason the aliens would have had an auxiliary landing strip in the area....

Thanks, Civ
Well, that’s one reasonable use of google earth.

They just look like eroded mountains in the desert to me. The United States is filled with them from the Rocky mountains to the Sierras. From a commercial flight, almost everything in that region looks like this.

Link?

There are only a few comments at the linked article, but they dispute her suppositions.

Using google.earth to do the searches is both intoxicating and difficult.

My mission is to identify every last single Spanish or Portuguese settlement ~ occupied enough so the roadways/paths were still visible when English and American settlers moved in a couple of centuries later ~ in the area bounded by the Arctic Ocean, the Rockey Mountains, the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean.

I"ve found their grand survey of the continent ~ reflected in the Treaty of London (1604) ~ and had verification that some of the Bench Marks are actually identified as "Boundary Markers".

So far I've searched from 45 degrees North to 35 degrees North from the Mississippi to the Atlantic.

Found several structures ~ and best of all, at least one Villa La Real (A Spanish administrative center), a couple of mills (long in the dirt but visible in part), but there are only a few dozen villages/plantations.

I know most historians imagine these things are all over the place and the French put them there, but the French hardly had enough settlers to keep Quebec busy to say nothing of moving in on Indian territories.

The Spanish were different. They'd move in on you with priests from 10 different orders and have your women hitched to a plough before you could say ouch. They had a proven technique for aiding populations to grow and become strong ~ particularly militarily strong, and in the good old days, if you weren't militarily strong you turned into dirt pretty quick.

I really don't know what happened to the French but even in fur trading they demanded the position as middle man ~ unlike the English who let the Iroquois do the hard work of transporting the furs to market. The Spanish actually tried to build a local agrarian society first ~ then the mines!

I didn’t know the pyramids even had internet access!

If these were on Mars, Richard C. Hoagland would be thrilled!

checking original article, the first one is by a geologist who says it is a laccolith.
