Re: Wei Ling Pyramid by thieu4u on Tuesday, 21 August 2007

I am very interested in this pyramide of Wei Ling. It is one of the few pyramid's that is oriented directly to the north, just like the pyramid of Cheops. The other ones with the same orientation are the Zhou Kang pyramid the Yi Ling pyramid and the Tai Ling pyramid. And there is also a small cluster of 9 smal pyramids a bit to the east. They are all very close together. They are even more perfect oriented to the north than the cheops pyramids. My first question to anybody who knows is. I wonder why all the other pyramid's are oriented in a 3 to 5 degree agle to the north-west. Is it because the 4 pyramids, mentioned above are from a earlier or later period than the other 150 ( or more ) pyramid's or are they from a later period? I know that the Feng Swi technic is used as a tool to orientate buildings and is magnetic. So it would be possible that all the pyramids are oriented with this technic. But why did the builders made a exeption for these 4 pyramid's? Can anybody help me with this question. The secound question is if these pyramids are open for public or if there are pictures of the inside chambers of these pyramids? Thanks. Mathieu
