Orientation - Alignment - Inclination

Satellite images give us a clear picture of the orientation and alignment of the structures that are visible under the vegetation of all three hills.

We checked the data by metre, compass and inclinometer and they show surprising facts:

The alignment of P1 and P2 is identical, while P3 is slightly offset. All pyramids open towards south with a spectacular view and are connected to each other by a north/south footpath. The access to P1 and P2 is via stone staircases from SE and SW. Access from north is via a flat path, level with the respective platforms.

P1 and P2 have an identical orientation, which is slightly offset from the cardinal directions by approx.10° NE. P3 orientation cannot be determined as it is hidden under dense vegetation of wood and shrubs. It is not only invisible but also inaccessible without proper gear.

The inclination of 43°- 45° on P1 and P2 can only be interpolated because of unevenly stepped terraces of approx. 60x60 cm. P3 again is hidden under dense vegetation.

 

Judged by this special alignment and positioning of the pyramids there is strong evidence that they served as observation platforms towards the eastern sunrise and the northern and southern moon maxima.

The distance of P1 - P2 = 515 m, P2 - P3= 565 m
