Where in the World

[scifan57]

Where were these photos taken and what is their significance?

 

[J. A.]

They were taken in Pharao Unas's (Oenas's,...) pyramid - exactly the funeral chamber.

It's main innovation was the first appearance of Pyramid Texts: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_Texts

Unas's text contains verses and spells that were not included in later copies. The texts were intended to help him in the Underworld.

Ariel view of the building.

This building was completed in 1847.

A battle was fought here on 10-11 April, 1862.

Any guesses?

 

[J. A.]

This is Fort Pulaski, on Cockspur Island, Georgia. During the American Civil war, the Union Army tested a rifled cannon (Parrott Rifle) successfully.

Here's a different picture of the building:

It looks similiar to me like the WTC monument but can't be because it's too green!
