Building Sites and Park Sites

The Perigee: Zero hypothesis suggest that many important structures and sites of inhabitation were set on the top of PZ ejecta standing emplacements, for a variety of reasons. Foremost is that they represent a raised position of authority above the surround landscape.

As to the mounds, Erickson’s interpretation of the lie of the land is that the mounds were built to offer protection from floodwaters, with the most sacred buildings always at the centre of the mound on the highest level. - Philip Coppens on Amazonian Dark Earths

A secondary situation arises when the inhabitants actually witness the "arrival" of the ejecta. It is, perhaps, appropriate to honor the site as a sacred place. Park sites are of two categories: ones that have a scenic view of geometrically-pleasing land-forms and bodies of water, and also those which formerly were building sites but are now enjoined for rest and relaxation. A Google Earth Keyhole KMZ file is offered [here] and on our downloads page.

The selection of these sites for display are limited, as we have not spent energies directly into this aspect, but they do make themselves apparent during our research. Our first example is the well-known "Capital Hill" in Washington, DC, USA. From the prospective of a visitor on the ground, it would seem that the site was "oval", and is is! . We present it here hinted with the generic PZ Ejecta overlay in a GE composite, GE kml file in link.



US Capital Hill

Koebenhagen's downtown square called Kongens Nytorv, which was constructed in 1670 on the side of the former ramparts of the city. The "square" is actually an irregular shaped mesh of streets, but in the center is an almost perfect oval, with a definitively-aligned major axis running SSW to NNE at an azimuth of 207 º. The graphic we offer demonstrates this, hinted with a GE line segment, and encircled by a generic PZ Ejecta overlay. The reader can view more discussion on Denmark's capital in the Proof Set Section.

The site perhaps most recognized world-wide for it's significance in human cultural evolution is the Acropolis, in Athens, Greece. We present two views, below. The first is a normal satellite view, and the second is a perspective elevation view. Both are linked to higher resolution versions.

Our research suggest that all of Athens, and Greece itself, are the manifestations of mega-ejecta emplacements created during the early PZ events. Athens and the environs were not settled by humans until 6,000 BC. As for the geology, while it is clear the Acropolis is a fractured lock of limestone, it is known to be simply 'sitting" in the underlying foundation strata.

Many of the hills in the eastern part of the Athens basin, such as Lykabettos hill, the Areopagus, the Acropolis and the Philopappos hill, are made of Late Cretaceous limestones (figure 3.2). There is some debate about the geological position of these rocks, but most geologists consider that they are the upper part of the Athens Schist series of rocks. They may not have been originally continuous over the area and minor tectonic movements have detached these stronger blocks from the weak underlying marls of the Athens Schist. Steep faults have since then dissected the limestones into smaller blocks.

We interpret this explanation of the area's geomorphology as not being at odds with our proposal.

There are several world-renown parks in the London, England area which exhibit characteristics of PZ ejecta deposits. A suggested orientation that considers the Serpentine Lake and the Hyde park Corner as orientation features is resented for review. Even the streets just North of the park are arc-aligned, as is the easter-most bulge:


Hyde Park, London, England

For corroborating evidence of another ejecta emplacement exhibiting the identical orientation and ratios is the knoll upon which is built Windsor Castle, arguably the most important castle in Europe.

Windsor Castle was begun on the site in the 11th Century by William the Conqueror. Was the site of his fortification chosen for it's magical folklore or for it's strategic position?

Amid the gloom hovering over the early history of Windsor Castle appear the mighty phantoms of the renowned King Arthur and his knights, for whom it is said Merlin reared a magic fortress upon its heights, in a great hall whereof, decorated with trophies of war and of the chase, was placed the famous Round Table.

Please reference the Silbury Hill page for another, similar landform with supportive enigmatic folklore.

A Google Earth keyhole file displaying the orientation of Windsor Knoll and Hype park is available.

Summary

Humans have historically searched out low hills or knolls to site their important structures. We feel that many have geological characteristics highly indicative of ejecta emplacements.
