One of the complex sites contains a distinct, four-sided, truncated, pyramidal shape that is approximately 140 feet in width. This site contains three smaller mounds in a very clear formation, similar to the diagonal alignment of the Giza Plateau pyramids.
The second possible site contains four mounds with a larger, triangular-shaped plateau. The two larger mounds at this site are approximately 250 feet in width, with two smaller mounds approximately 100 feet in width. This site complex is arranged in a very clear formation with the large plateau, or butte, nearby in a triangular shape with a width of approximately 600 feet.
The sites have been documented and discovered by satellite archaeology researcher Angela Micol of Maiden, North Carolina. Angela has been conducting satellite archaeology research for over ten years, searching for ancient sites from space using Google Earth. Angela is a UNC Charlotte alumnus and has studied archaeology since childhood. Google Earth has allowed her to document many possible archaeological sites, including a potential underwater city off the coast of the Yucatan peninsula that has sparked the interest of scientists, researchers and archaeologists. Angela is also a board member of the APEX Institute, founded by archaeologist William Donato, who is pioneering underwater archaeological research in the Bahamas. Angela has been assisted by Don J. Long, fellow APEX researcher and colleague.

There is an interesting site I found that lists other anomalies found with google earth.

(36,988 posts)Ancient Shorelines destroyed by glacier melt, ancient libraries destroyed by fire, water or war. We only have a real recording from about 300BC to cross reference. everything before that time is lost. The first kingdom of Egypt is a lost chapter where there are just a few pages remain but some of their greatest achievements are still visible.
Ancient Aliens, Gods, sons of gods, giants in those days?
We don't really know except we've lost at least 60,000 years of data and only pieces remain to give us some clues of what came before. I'm stilled baffled on how they built the great pyramid and moving megalithic stones with space age precision to 1/100 of an inch.

Compare photo to top cross section:
I looked at the Cairo pyramids on google Earth and there is nothing like that around them. Everything is completely flat.
