Thank you George. I think we are talking about different things, I'm not very good at explaining. 360-336.56 =23.44 . The fact that archaeologists don't use it doesn't mean it is not there or someone else may not have used it in the past -NASA uses it, I think those chaps know a bit about astronomy. In my mind the significance of that direction is that, that value in South America IS more significant than the 23.44 used in Europe and the northern hemisphere. Why? because the sun is perpendicular to it at the beginning of the spring equinox in the southern hemisphere (0&#8304. At the culmination of the summer solstice at Machu Picchu's latitude the sun's azimuth at sunrise is 89.33⁰ and the CI is perpendicular to it at 336.56⁰-335.89⁰= .67⁰ To me it is outstanding that the two values 336.56⁰ and 335.89⁰ are represented in the Citadel, in the bearing of the walls, the Intihuatana Stone and the other value 335.89⁰ on the steps. I think archaeologists should start looking at this number more seriously.

Anyway, regarding the Abbas Giant; weather the Abbas Giant glyph was found in the 1600's or earlier or later is irrelevant; there is stuff being discovered every day: Gunug Padang is a recent discovery and it is a whole mountain perhaps a pyramid. The Nazca lines were discovered in 1927, etc. etc. Beyond that, isn't it a bit curious that many of the known great glyphs: Abbas Giant, the two horses in the UK, the Blithe Intalgios in the US, the Nazca lines, the Atacama Giant, the Candelabra, etc. were all apparently done using the same 'ground scraping technique?

Now. It is great that you reproduced the author's measurement of the direction of the Giant's mace. He claims 1 degree error. I also did it and was even closer, then repeated it taking the line all the way to Cheops as claimed, it came out 116.92⁰. Again the bearing of these lines is not very distinguishable thru the length of the mace. Then I did a 115.92 to bracket his value. All four lines come off the tip of the Mace. The point is verified: his average value of 116.92 does point to Giza.

The 'Jape' issue -does it mean joke in your lingo?- are you aware there are probably more that one hundred phallic representations around the globe, both in glyphs and menhirs; not counting cylindrical menhirs but only those with a glans? The direction of the Giant's phallus points to an archaeological site in Colombia in South America which contains more that 25 phallic megaliths in one single location, most over ten feet tall. The Latte Stones in Guam are phallic, the Tevaifaara in Tahiti, the Maulifana in India and in the UK the famous Long Tom (another jape?) . The interesting thing about these megaliths is that the Giant's phallus points to the largest phallic megalith in SA at place called 'El Infiernito', in turn this giant phallus over 10 ft.is located on the same meridian as the Chinese Giant megalithic phallus (~20ft ) at 180⁰ ?

The 247.43⁰ issue Cerne to Nazca, where did you end up? Did you try it? If you try it, I did -now you have me testing everything -which incidentally the author asks the reader to verify his data and provides the method- when you get to the Nazca plain guess what? you find a Nazca line matching your line! just as claimed. That is: Nazca predicts the Cerne Abbas Giant!! woohoo! True. The same line coming out of Nazca has a different bearing. If we consider the line connecting the two points is a segment of a great circle -all straight lines on earth are; then measuring the bearing of the circle, we find is different at every point around the globe, however that does not prove the two points are not on the same circle.
Now don't tell me the archeoastronomists don't use GE...GIS does and so does anyone with a GPS, including the Archaeological Institute of America; it is accurate to within feet! I think the "joiner uppers" are on to something, maybe 21st century archaeology?

You seem to have a problem with one degree error over distance. It is huge if you are shooting pigeons; however, if you are flying, say at a thousand feet it is very reasonable! the thirty mile error at 6000 miles is minuscule. If you are flying a balloon you'll have a hike to your target but you'll be able to see it before landing.
