Revealing the truth of the image of the pyramids and planets that spread globally
A picture spread widely showing the alignment of 3 planets from the solar system over the pyramids of Giza in Cairo, and this picture, which was said to document an astronomical phenomenon that occurs once every 2373 years, topped social networking sites on a global scale.
Activists said that the aligned planets are Mercury, Venus, and Saturn, claiming that the phenomenon occurs once every 2373 years.
According to the fact-finding service from "Agence France Presse", this image is fabricated, electronically designed and not real, and some of the elements appearing in it are scientifically impossible, according to astronomers.
Scientifically, the alignment of these three planets in the sky can be seen once a year, and not once every 2373 years.
But some of the elements appearing in the picture are not logical, according to space scientists who were surveyed by Agence France-Presse.
Inspection of the image using the TinEye engine revealed that a copy of it devoid of the three planets had previously been published in 2008 on several websites, including tourism sites.
And “Russia Today” quoted a professor of astrophysics, Juan Antonio Aviles, as saying: “The three planets are lined up in the image in a way that cannot be seen in the Giza sky when looking towards the north,” which is the direction towards which the picture of the three pyramids was taken.
Juan Antonio Aviles referred to other factors that challenge the validity of this image, including the equivalence of the flash between what is supposed to be Mercury and what is supposed to be Saturn, knowing that this equality in the twinkling of the two planets is impossible.
"This picture does not make sense," he concluded.
