These ancient Geolyphs have a diameter of 90 - 400m so they are difficult to recognize without Google Earth.

From Google Earth, a pyramid located under the Pacific Ocean was discovered. According to estimates, this giant structure is about 13km wide. From observed images, scientists cannot determine whether this is an artificial structure created by humans or a natural architecture. Conducting excavations of this structure is necessary, but scientists are currently hindered by security policies and economic conditions in Egypt.

5. Mysterious ghost island

A mysterious island appears on Google Earth, with all the scientific maps and weather maps, but no one has ever set foot on it. This "ghost island" is called Sable and can be up to 156km2 in size.

In 2012, Australian scientists announced that this strange island did not exist. So why does it appear on maps and Google Earth?
