Here's a good one for all those who got excited when it was rumored the lost continent of Atlantis was found on Google Earth: A researcher now thinks she's found two undiscovered pyramids in Egypt on Google Earth.
"Upon closer examination of the formation, this mound appears to have a very flat top and a curiously symmetrical triangular shape that has been heavily eroded with time," Micol.
The other site contains a 150-foot wide, square-shaped, truncated mound, and three smaller mounds which Micol says contain diagonal elements similar to the pyramids of the Giza Plateau.
Micol acknowledges her findings are yet to prove anything and will require further research by archaeologists.
"The images speak for themselves," she says. "It's very obvious what the sites may contain but field research is needed to verify they are, in fact, pyramids."
Do you think Micol has found something undiscovered in Egypt? Can Google Earth be used for archeology? Let us know in the comments.
