This webpage is an article related to a new look at an old design: The Prehistoric Alignment of World Wonders. Easter Island, according to the author, is exactly aligned along a straight line around the center of the Earth, with the Nazca Lines, Ollantaytambo, Tassili n'Ajjer and the Great Pyramid of Egypt.
