NEW UPDATE: The Taraia Object Expedition has been postponed until 2026.
The delay stems from ongoing permit approval processes requiring additional clearance from the Kiribati government, and the onset of the South Pacific cyclone season, which poses safety risks for a late-2025 departure.
The mission’s plans remain unchanged otherwise.

The Almendres Cromlech near Évora in Portugal is an 8,000-year-old stone circle, the biggest in the Iberian Peninsula.
The site is on an east-facing hill. From there, only one mountain gap is visible, and during the equinoxes, the sun sets directly in that gap.
There’s also a menhir at the hilltop that has a notch in which the spring equinox sunrise can be seen.

The Kofun tombs, preserved for over 1,600 years, are now surrounded by modern-day Osaka.
The colossal keyhole-shaped Daisen Kofun is specifically oriented toward the sunrise at the winter solstice.
It is one of the three largest ancient tombs in the world, alongside the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt and the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in China.

Thanks for following me @npub1jlr…ynqn! Couldn’t believe it at first, but the badges in @npub1n0s…k6h0 by @npub1n0s…lahe sure helped in distinguishing the real from the fake. It’s also neat that there’s an option for disabling them.

These lines stretching with precise straightness for up to 48kms have lasted over 1,500 years and this despite being etched in just 10–15cms deep.
The monkey’s spiral tail follows a near-perfect logarithmic curve.

Carved from dense granite, the Barabar Caves in India have mirror-like walls with a smoothness 9 times higher than modern polished granite.
The Gopika chamber has a surface that is 100 times flatter than a newly paved road.
Even though each cave has its own unique dimensions, there’s a 34.4 Hz echo produced at the Vapiyaka, Karan Chopar and Gopika chambers and 34.5 Hz at Sudama.

Thank you!! 🙏 promised that I’m not here for spamming
I find most of these locations by hitting the ‘I’m feeling lucky’ button on Google Earth, and posting them here is my way of keeping track of them—there are a lot!!
Feel free to reach out if you have any noteworthy location to share too

Not my most clear statement, I’ll give you that
This is why I’ve posted a second message in the thread to try and clarify it (see screenshot)
I will also soon be sharing the exact coordinates of both the Watch Tower and the sunrise Summer Solstice market for everyone to be able to verify it themselves

Please excuse me if my first post was difficult to understand
I hope the second post explains it better but I will try again
What is important to understand is that America Stonehenge is a circle of rocks
There’s a Watch Tower in the middle, and from there, you can tell which day of the year it is by looking where the sun rises or sets
On the day of the summer solstice, the viewpoint from the Watch Tower to rock that marks the sunrise on that day leads all the way to the Altar Rock at the Stonehenge site in England

I’ll get back to you with the exact coordinates of both the Watch Tower and the sunrise Summer Solstice market so that you can verify it yourself :)

At America's Stonehenge, ancient observers used a central Watch Tower and surrounding stone markers to track the sun. On the summer solstice, the sun rises in alignment with a specific marker.
This same line of sight, extended across the Atlantic, intersects the Altar Stone at Stonehenge in England.

If you extend a straight line from Stonehenge’s Altar Stone westward across the Atlantic Ocean, it intersects precisely with the stone marking the summer solstice sunrise alignment at America's Stonehenge in Salem, New Hampshire.
This can be demonstrated through Google Earth.

We’re two months away from potentially solving the 1937 mystery of Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan’s disappearance during their round-the-world flight.
In August 2025, an expedition will visit the Taraia Peninsula on Nikumaroro Island in the South Pacific to investigate whether an object spotted in satellite images is their plane.

Discovered by chance in 2001 by Vietnamese miners, the Phú Diên tower had been buried under sand dunes for nearly 1,000 years.
It was likely built in the 8th century by the Cham civilization using fired clay bricks, interlocked without mortar.
It's located on a beach just 50 meters from the Pacific Ocean and is now in a glass enclosure to protect against coastal erosion.
Its purpose remains unclear, as it lacks carvings of deities that would indicate it was a religious site.
