Hi, Attila, Stoo,
I am sorry for not getting back to you. I'm just really flustered with others on this site. I only have so much energy. An admitted flaw I have is to not let irritating things go unchecked. Maybe I should learn to do that. Anyway, I'm ignoring Gabeed forever on and so can perhaps focus on your questions. Again, I apologize. I'm only human and emotions get the better of me at times.
The Great Lakes and the world grid. Okay.
There are many mysteries associated with the Great Lakes. Understandable, given their size. The most interesting mystery, to me, is the Great Lakes Triangle. Similar to the Bermuda Triangle, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
The first pyramidal shapes were found in Rock Lake, Wisconsin. Not a Great Lake, nor were these monuments of any great size, but they were unexplainable by geology or archeology, and they're the beginning of the story.
After several ships and planes went missing in the Great Lakes Triangle, naturally, some effort was made to locate them. Of course, this ended up happening years after the fact, a search for salvage and not for survivors. Sonar found shapes that echoed (no pun intended) the mysterious shapes in Rock Lake. Of course, diving in the Great Lakes is a different issue than in Rock. The salvage teams were not equipped with that and in most places you can't dive without a submersible vehicle. They released the sonar tracks but not the coordinates because they did not wish salvage-thieves to take their prize.
The story was often just a footnote, a funny fluff to help make a failed salvage operation look a little better. But, when some research was done into the fate of the Edmund Fitzgerald, which sank in Lake Superior in 1975, these shapes came up again. But still, no funding was available for such "fringe" stuff.
The deal is that echoes of the same story occur again and again, and most often from separate businesses with little to no interest in esoteric things. Hence, no reason to invent such stories. The problem is the usual one: Funding. There's a glint of gold and the hills should be mined, so-to-speak.
From this, I rely more on a comprehensive view and a pattern from around the world: The world is riddled with sunken monuments, both inland and at sea. Often pyramidal shapes, too. Since it's proven that not all pyramids were tombs, one can only logically say that the pyramid was an important but non-specific structure to ancient civilizations. We do not know all its functions, therefore we cannot say that pyramids are or are not man-made based on size. The pyramids in Rock Lake, for example, are small. Smaller than tombs. The pyramids of Lake Superior are larger, but still not huge (I believe the estimated size was 30' corner-to-corner -- I read this years ago and do not save every article, book or periodical I read, else my home would be a library with no room for food and clothes!)
It's a mystery with little data directly, but fits into a larger puzzle of the world's unrecognized ancient history.
On that, I will go on to the "grid" I have mentioned before, and Lay-lines (I'll spell 'em how I please, thank you -- I'm not British but I often spell "colour" and "honour" in such ways too).
Here's a good start:

I found this after about five minutes of searching online. I apologize for my sarcasm, Stoo, but I've said over and over in posts exactly WHY others should look into this for themselves. It's not a lack of having data on my part. It's trying to urge others to focus on the right things and to start thinking in the right direction. But since my warnings about just being given the information go ignored, I say with an admitted bit of 'tude that five minutes of searching for yourself could have saved us all five hours of typing in this thread.
Note: I am currently searching for any online videos or scans of the sonar records. If I find anything like that, I'll post 'em here. But I must say, this subject was an off-hand remark, part of something else. This thread and my own focus is about ancient aliens. I thus do not necessarily keep hard data (what little there is) on things like this. I keep what I feel is comprehensively important in for the bigger picture in my head but do not necessarily hoard magazines, etc. Hence, my trying to find them again.
Oh, and there was a large amount of Matt's background presented, which although providing insight as to why he believes what he does, fails (even if true) to really provide any evidence/information regarding ancient aliens.
