While most of us rely on Google maps to get us where we're going, some are using the service to search for locations from thousands of years ago that we might have forgotten, like ancient pyramids. A satellite archaeological researcher from North Carolina claims to have found images of sites in Egypt that may show ancient man-made structures.

Located 90 miles apart along the Nile River, the satellite images show mounds of earth in strange groupings and features unusual for the natural environment.

One image shows four distinct mounds with a larger triangular-shaped plateau, another looks to contain a four-sided mound approximately 150 feet wide, and a third shows three small mounds in a similar configuration to the Giza Plateau pyramids.

Of course, observers thought they'd found the lost city of Atlantis off the coast of Africa earlier this year, only to have Google point out that the apparent grid under the ocean was a computer glitch. Still, we have to wonder, what would India have done in the era of satellite images?

《每日郵報》報道稱，美國考古學(xué)家安吉拉·米克爾花了10年的時間研究“谷歌地球”衛(wèi)星圖后，發(fā)現(xiàn)在尼羅河盆地中的兩處地點，有不同尋常的“大土堆”，其中一處“土堆”的頂部平整，擁有非常對稱的錐形外形，并且因時間流逝而被嚴(yán)重侵蝕。另一處“土堆”則有四個三角面，每個面的底邊長為140英尺 （約合42.6米），“它擁有一個明顯的正方形底面，這是很不尋常的，從高處就幾乎可以確定，它是一座金字塔?！痹凇按蠼鹱炙敝苓呥€有三座小型的疑似金字塔，米克爾稱，它們的排列形式與吉薩金字塔相似。吉薩金字塔是一群金字塔的總稱，其中三座最大、保存最完好的金字塔分別是胡夫金字塔、海夫拉金字塔和門卡烏拉金字塔，它們按照獵戶座的腰帶排列，而以尼羅河作為銀河。

身在美國的米克爾如今打算親自勘察這兩個地點，確認(rèn)它們是否真的是古代的金字塔遺跡。如果發(fā)現(xiàn)屬實的話，這可能是有史以來發(fā)現(xiàn)的最大的金字塔遺跡之一。
