Quick summary of a deep investigation…

The Great Circle connecting Giza, Nazca, and Easter Island is statistically real. Tested across 8 databases and 550,000+ archaeological sites. Jim Alison found something genuine when he documented this alignment in 2001. That part of the story holds up.

Everything built on top of it doesn't.

The monument-settlement divergence (monuments cluster, settlements don't) decomposes completely into geography when you test 10 features simultaneously with machine learning.

The collinearity of the three anchor sites is scaffolded by plate tectonics — the geological features that created the Nile, the Andes, and Easter Island are aligned within 0.8° of the same great circle pole.

Easter Island is the only inhabited island within 200 km of the Giza-Nazca circle in the entire Pacific. The sub-km precision is a 1-in-3,000 coincidence.

The corridor was empty before the Younger Dryas. 94,000 radiocarbon dates. 10 on the corridor before 12,800 BP. Fewer than a random great circle.

The longitude grid doesn't exist. The 108° hypothesis is falsified. The Pillar 43 "stellar encoding" ranks #22 out of 24 possible mappings – near worst. The Orion shape match is real but identical at every epoch across 18,000 years, so the 10,500 BCE date claim has zero support.
