It is also the place of the East African Rift Valleys, the only continental area on Earth where plate tectonics is now pulling a continent apart. According to Hancock and Bauval, the word Aker is similar to the word Akeru meaning ancestors of Re, and to the word Akhu meaning Venerable, Transfigured Being, Shining Being, or Astral Spirit. To me, Aker reminds me of Akira . At about the same time that the Egyptian civilization developed along the Nile River , below the Highland of Aker created by the spreading Rift Valleys, the Chinese civilization developed along the Wei River , near Xi'an, below the mountains created by compression of India's collision with Asia. According to Childress, China's Great Pyramid is said to be at least 4,000 years old, and likely much older.
More Chinese Pyramids exist.
Another indication of connection is that the all Egyptian art and architecture was set out on a grid of 19 lines, just as a Chinese Wei-Qi board is a grid of 19 lines. The Mayans may have used similar grids.
