Images taken by the Google Earth satellite map show that this is probably the evidence of two long-lost Egyptian pyramid complexes.

Images taken by the Google Earth satellite map show that this is probably the evidence of two long-lost Egyptian pyramid complexes.

These two locations contain unusual mounds. One of them is located in Upper Egypt, 12 km from Abu Sidhum city along the Nile River with four large triangular soil, of which about 76 meters wide, the remaining 2 are smaller, wider than 30 meters, archaeologist Angela Micol said.

They are quite clearly arranged, lasting nearly 190 meters - three times the size of a large pyramid, which has a strange symmetry in a triangle that has eroded over time. In particular, when zooming at the top of the triangular object, scientists found that two 6-meter-wide circles appeared almost in the center of the triangle.

About 145km north of Fayoum oasis, the second pyramid complex consists of a four-sided soil of more than 45 meters wide - unusual in size compared to normal and very pyramid-like soil patterns when viewed. from above. Farther than 2.5 km southeast of the ancient city of Dimai are 3 other smaller mounds, creating the usual cross-linking of pyramid aggregates on the Giza plateau.'Dark colors and composition are similar to the walls built from mud and stone bricks in Dimai,' the team said.

Founded in the 3rd century BC under the reign of King Ptolemy II Philadelphus (309 BC before CN - 246 BC), Dimai is surrounded by a mud brick wall 10 meters high, 5 meters thick, there is a The ruined stone temple is the place to worship the god of the crocodile Soknopaios. Also known as Dimeh al-Siba or Dimeh Lions, Dimai reached the peak of the first and second century AD with a very large trade route. It began to be abandoned and forgotten during the middle of the third century.

According to Micol, what remains of both areas is the evidence of the "missing" pyramid that Egyptologists Nabil Selim is still searching for. Selim once thought that the Sinki pyramid existed at the Abydos and Dry Moat around the Step Pyramid complex in Saqqara. In addition, Micol also believes that the use of upcoming infrared images will help scientists look at more detailed levels.
