I'll post this in both threads:
Well that site certainly made things very easy. Thanks “B”. Here’s a little of what it had to say:
TAKEN FROM:
http://atlantisonline.smfforfree2.com/index.php/topic,3587.msg33621.html#msg33621Now with the sky ground ideas of Graham Hancock's in his books "Heavens Mirror", and "Keeper Of Genesis", as well as Robert G. Bauval Orion Giza ideas in "The Orion Mystery" fresh in our minds. We studied a number of star maps and the prominent star constellations. It was not hard to notice that our plan of the pyramid layout matched the constellation of Gemini, including the star Betelgeuse from the neighbouring constellation of Orion. Also the photograph appears as if it has been taken from the top of another pyramid, if we add this to the plan then you find that it matches the brightest star in Taurus, Aldebaran.
Now with all this new information we used skyglobe on the computer to examine this area of the sky backwards through time and more specifically to the date of 10500BC. Graham Hancock ideas have shown that this date may have some importance in unravelling the past. We find that the constellation of Gemini is rising on the spring equinox on that date, with the pyramids matching the sky, at sunrise.I used an online distance calculator which told me this:
TAKEN FROM THIS SITE:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/distance.htmlDistance from Cairo to Beijing
Distance is 7557 kilometers or 4696 miles or 4080 nautical miles
The distance is the theoretical air distance (great circle distance). Flying between the two locations's airports can be longer or shorter, depending on airport location and actual route chosen.
Heading from Cairo
Latitude: 30° 00' North
Longitude: 31° 17' East
Initial heading: 55.6° Northeast by east
Final heading: 111.3° East-southeast

Heading from Beijing
Latitude: 39° 55' North
Longitude: 116° 23' East
Initial heading: 291.3° West-northwest

The circumference of the earth is 24,901.55 miles at the equator.
BUT,
TAKEN FROM:
http://www.crichtonmiller.com/Pyramid%20maths.htmIn essence the reducing circumference of a small circle as you progress from the south equator to the North Pole south to north is 240 nautical miles per degree
30 x 240 = 7200 - 21600 = 14400 nautical miles earth circumference at 30 degrees latitude
But Beijing China is at 39 degrees latitude so we must subtract 240 nautical miles per degree. Hence 240 x 9 degrees further north = 2160 nautical miles. And so,
14400 nautical miles – 2160 nautical miles = 12,240 nautical miles of circumference at 39 degrees latitude.
If we take the 12,240 degrees of circumference and divide it by 6, (half the number of signs in the zodiac, and exactly the distance in the sky from Leo to Aquarius), we get 2040 nautical miles per sign, (or per constellation).
From Leo (the sign of the Giza pyramids and the Sphinx) to Gemini, (the sign of the Chinese pyramids at Xa’im), is two signs away.
Hence 2040 X 2 (signs or constellations) =
4080 nautical miles away
And there we have it!
Distance from Cairo to Beijing =
4080 nautical miles
