the great white pyramid of China

Is that the white pyramid? I have calculated it's height around 100 meters and the length of it's side around 500. It matches the description of the aviator as well as his photo. If you know please tell me! If it isn't can someone post another placemark for the real one?

No you are a bit off if the placemark was in the right spot. I have catalouged nearly 115 Pyramids in the Xi'an basin. I can't give you all of them but I will point you in the right direction....

Happy Hunting!!!!

N34'22'52.5 E109'15'13.5 One lonely white pyramid! (been coverd w/ trees by the Chineese Govm't)

N34'22'39 E108'41'9 I Have found over 81 Pyramids here and in the surrounding area. I call this Complex Lima...

Let me know how many you find.... Once you know what to look for it's easy to do.

BTW... the first pyramid I gave you is where the Terra-cotta warriors were found...

The pyramid the WWII pilot spotted was supposedly 80 miles southwest of Xian, in an area where Google Earth doesn't cover [or has blocked for some reason]. You can see many other pyramids in areas north of that pyramid pretty clearly, but when you scroll down to where the Great White Pyramid is supposed to be, it's blocked out.

Another pyramid that's been blocked out is one that appears to be three times longer on each side than the one in Giza, Egypt, at 34*41'49.71"N 108*17'36.28"E

Yeah, I'd like to know why, also. If the Chinese government requested Google to not post these images, why would Google go along with them?
