EGYPT and THE AMERICAS

According to the current view there was no contact between the Old World and the New World before Columbus. Yet numerous artifacts have been found that suggest a link between Egypt and the Americas.

Consider these similaritles:

• Both have huge pyramids, aligned to the cardinal points.

• temples with megalithic stones,

• with extremely fine joints of less than a fiftieth of an inch.

• Both Egypt and the Americas used royal headresses of similar style.

• Both employed a unique style of construction using "L" shaped corners.

• Both use the same style of metal clamps to hold the huge stones in place.

• And both cultures used the process of mummification to preserve and honor their dead.

These compelling similarities suggest to some that both ancient cultures were influenced by a sophisticated common source. Was that source Atlantis?
