It has long been suggested or hinted at that Newgrange and the great Giza Pyramids are connected. One theory suggests that there is a great ley line running from Newgrange to Giza, and indeed that the line of winter solstice sunrise is said to run from Newgrange towards Egypt. Information from Google Earth, however, puts an even more fascinating gloss on the story, and suggests an extraordinary link between the two that, if it is just a coincidence, is a most fantastic and extraordinary one.
The Goole Earth program, which is free to download, is a very powerful tool. I have used it to demonstrate some of the extraordinary alignments of monuments in Ireland, some of which are documented in Island of the Setting Sun. In addition to being able to draw lines using the Ruler tool, you can also measure distances, in various units, and this is where Google Earth reveals extraordinary things about the placement of Newgrange and the Pyramids with regard to each other.
If you find any of what I'm about to reveal too good to be true, try it for yourself! Download Google Earth and repeat the steps shown here to see for yourself.
First, zoom in on the Great Pyramid at Giza, as shown in the image above right. Put a Placemark on it, exactly on the apex of the pyramid, to help you find it when zooming in and out. To help you find it easier, if you have trouble, either type Giza Pyramids into the Google Earth search tab or enter these coordinates: 29°58'43.48"N 31° 8'4.31"E. Then go to Newgrange, Ireland, which you can find at these coordinates: 53°41'40.59"N 6°28'31.39"W. It's the great big green mound with the white front facing southeast, as shown in the photo on right. Use a Placemark to mark its position.
Now, using the Ruler tool, start drawing a line from Newgrange roughly towards the southeast. If you have a wheel on your mouse, you can zoom out from Newgrange using the mouse wheel as you extend the line towards the southeast. This can be difficult and might take a bit of practice. The idea is to keep zooming out and keep extending the line towards Egypt. Remember to start the line exactly in the middle of the mound of Newgrange. Sometimes you might "drop" the end of the line - this can be "picked up" again if you click the ruler tool on the little red dot at the end of the line.
When you manage to get the line near Egypt, you will need to begin zooming in again. The Placemark you used to mark the Great Pyramid should help you to more easily pick out your target. Keep zooming in as you get closer to the Pyramids and try to place the end of the line exactly on the apex of the Great Pyramid, as shown in the screenshot on right. To see a larger version of any of these screenshots, just click on one. As you will see when you complete the line, the distance from Newgrange to the Great Pyramid is 4,007.48 kilometres on a bearing of 115.94 degrees. Now, this is where the really astonishing bit comes .
