How the location of Mount Zion was occulted

The Centre of the Earth according to scientists

Some people argue that with new technologies, it has been proven that the center of the earth lies in the Middle East. In 1877, Joseph Augustus Seiss, a Lutheran pastor known for his religious writings on pyramidology, asserted that the pyramid of Khéops (Gizeh) is located at the exact intersection of the longest line of Latitude and the longest line of Longitude; in other words, at the center of the entire earth's mass. Regarding the Great Pyramid of Kheops, calculating its apothem (the distance joining the top of the pyramid to the middle of one of the sides of the base) by the half-base of the pyramid is equal to the golden number "π" = Pi = 22/7 = 3.14 

The problem with these statements is this: All modern maps follow the Mercator projection created in 1569 by Flemish cartographer Gerardus Mercator.

Now, the Mercator map excessively amplifies the areas at the poles, in order to create straight lines of constant orientation or geographical direction, so that the countries to the north appear larger than they really are, compared to the countries near the equator. Lambert's cylindrical projection, which is not distorted along the equator, is a much more accurate representation of reality.

Thus, defining the center of the Earth on a Mercator projection map will produce inaccurate results. Note that modern critics are accusing the mercator projection of being biased, distorting our perception of the world and tied to racial supremacy. On the basis of these statements, although there is definitely a great mystery hidden from the general public, neither the Great Pyramid nor the Middle East can be the Center of the Earth.

The inversion of maps

First and foremost, it's important to remember that the Earth is circular, meaning it has no top or bottom but extends from east to west. And yet, the position of north at the top of the map was imposed with the rise of European exploration and navigation using the compass.

If you examine ancient maps dating from before the 16th century, you will find several that are upside down, with north positioned in the south and vice versa, while the texts are printed right side up (see maps below).

If you study the geography of ancient Egypt, you will observe that Upper Egypt is located in the south and Lower Egypt in the north, whereas logically it should be the other way around. That's because our contemporary maps are inverted and printed upside down. In fact, the predominance of maps with north at the top has had the effect of creating a preconceived notion that the northern hemisphere is more important or more central.

​

Now, if the orientation of maps prior to the 14th century was reversed, this would mean that at the time the first Bible (Gutenberg Bible) was written in 1455, the southern hemisphere of the Earth was what is now considered the northern hemisphere. Knowing that the orientation of a map is not a scientific imperative but a choice, and given that any direction can represent North or South, it must be understood that by reversing the maps and placing North at the top as if it were an absolute fact, the true location of Mount Zion was concealed in favor of the western lands.
