I’m Stumped by this Chinese Geoglyph
Originally posted by myself at 2012Forum.com, and nobody could tell me what it really is, so I’m asking the audience of this blog for ideas…
AstralWalker’s talk in Melbourne last month had some slides about GeoGlyphs. It was interesting hearing all the gasps in the audience when he showed the Chinese pyramids…But this, I have not seen before:

It is big – looks like hills etc don’t get in the way
The difficulty in determining what it is comes from the huge range of existing geoglyphs, that range from modern art like Colonel Sanders and the Firefox logo, to the ancient Nazca Lines. Without inspecting them at ground level, it is very hard to determine age and technique.
The best suggestion at the forum was that this is something like a quarry, and a large grader was used by someone who was on more then just a random mission:
There is clearly watershed over it in spots. The dimensions are roughly 1 mile square and the lines themselves average 50 foot wide. I can understand a mock runway and village but a mosaic pattern makes no sense to me even for a bored machine operator.
Scroll left when at Google Maps and there is a large square area that might be a clue…

How come … when the satellite views are altered
(moved "larger" and/or "smaller") there appears to be a specific point at which the "image" appears and/or disappears? Has someone been playing with the "tape"?
Also, the color appears to change at this point, too.

Don’t really know what it is, but a closer examination of the area reveals lots of tire tracks (especially around the large white square to the east) There also seems to be a very well traveled track to the north (from the area above the white square (possible huts and base buildings)) going to some railroad tracks. Also there is a landing strip to the west and another, larger base.
What stands out to me is the size of this geoglyph. I have found several clusters of
1 mile squares (approx) in North America. I believe that these huge squares were used
by the ancient Chinese for divination (fortune telling). I have arrived at that conclusion on the basis of Dr. Joseph Needham’s research. I am glad to be able to see this square in China because if they were doing this in Fu Sang (North America) then
why are there no examples of this in China. This geoglyph in China now shows a
similar square in China. For a review of my examples of this go to:

Have you wondered why these geoglyphs being discovered worldwide are not receiving attention from the academic community? There’s a simple explanation.
These geoglyphs do not fit into what the academics believe and what they are teaching around the world. The common wisdom is that the cultures to which men
belong started very simply and are developing on an almost straight line upward to
more advanced civilizations over time. There is litte or no room for highly advanced
cultures that occur out of sequence. When this occurs academia ignores it. If
you doubt this google the different theories on diffusion. The main ones are “cultural
diffusion” and “evolutionary diffusion.
