And we can't have an Atlantis theory without Atlantis. Below is the altitude at transit of Vega at the Platonic - Atlantis epoch of 9554 BC , at Atlantis! Atlantis acording to Plato was in the middle of the North - Atlantic Ocean. This region today is not empty - we have the Azores islands. Thus this Atlantis spot I have calculated is the tallest mountain of the Azores - Pico mountain. Before the sinking of Atlantis it's altitude might have larger than the present 2351 meters.

The Vega angle as seen from this position(latitude) [53.0826 degrees] is close to the slope of the Central Giza pyramid - that of Kafre. A 4 by 3 slope yields an angle of 53.130 degrees, the error thus is 0.0475 degrees or 2.85 arc minutes. The ideal Kafre latitude can be spotted on the Northern outskirts of this mountain.
