My first class in geography at elementary school painted a truer than life story about pyramids.
The pyramids are one of earth’s most fascinating standing structures -or at least to me they are. There have been manytheories discussed as to how they were built, who built
them and even why they were built. Ever since I was a kid I had been
looking into each question surrounding the pyramids and in the end I
felt that they were created by something “not of this world.” I came across this analysis of the pyramids and thought it was pretty extensive. Check it out and be the judge for yourself. It’s merely information I wanted to pass on for others to be their own judge.
“According to the
accepted version of history, the three massive Pyramids on the Giza
Plateau in Egypt were built by armies of Hebrew slaves for the glory of
the Pharaohs of Egypt. This idea was introduced to the world
by the visit to Egypt of the 5th century Greek historian Herodotus. He
claimed that the Pyramids were built by teams of 100,000 men, changed
every few months, over a period of 20 years. The fact that this meant
that one block of stone had to be laid exactly in place every 3 1/2
minutes 24 hours a day seems to have been overlooked by recent
Egyptologists! The fact that there wasn’t this kind of manpower in 4th
Dynasty Egypt for almost 5000 miles around is equally ignored! Not to
mention the ludicrous theories about the stones being rolled on logs –
when the only trees endemic to Ancient Egypt were date palms (a valuable
food source, so unlikely to be cut down, and far too soft a wood to
withstand the weight of such stones for more than a few feet!) – or
pushed up a ramp (a ramp which would have entailed more work than the
construction of the Pyramid itself, and would have left behind around 6
billions pounds of construction garbage, none of which has ever been
found!)
The Pyramids are
supposed to be monuments to the Pharaohs, tombs to preserve the royal
bodies for a continued existence in the afterlife, and yet no bodies
have ever been found inside them. This misconception of history has led
to some very basic misunderstandings about Egyptian culture and history,
and has led to perhaps the greatest conspiracy of all time: who built
the Pyramids?
Let
me start by examining some hard facts which nobody can dispute, and
looking in turn at what these facts might represent or mean:
1.
The Great Pyramid (known as that of Khufu/Cheops) contains no Pharaoh’s
body, no treasure chamber, and no treasures. There is no indication
that it ever has contained these things. The popular myth of the
Pyramids being royal tombs is clearly nonsense. The tombs archaeology
has accepted – those in the Valleys of the Kings and Queens –are
obviously tombs, storehouses of the Pharaoh’s earthly riches,
intricately prepared to ensure his survival in the next world. The Great Pyramid contains none of the obvious trappings of a tomb.
2. The only reason it is known as the Khufu/Cheops
Pyramid at all is due to some Victorian graffiti! When Colonel Howard
Vyse blasted his way into the Great Pyramid he was determined to make
his name as an Egyptologist. He longed for nothing more than to make
some monumental discovery which would make him famous. His
disappointment at finding the Pyramid empty was too much for him to bear
– it was his last season in Egypt – and in the dead of night it is said
that he crept up into the ‘air shafts’ (known as ‘spirit stones’ to the
Egyptians) above the King’s Chamber and daubed some hieroglyphs in red
paint. The following morning he made his ‘discovery’ and subsequently
earned his place in the history books as being the man who discovered the identity of the owner of the Great Pyramid!
It is worth mentioning in addition
that the symbols he painted were not even accurate ones for the period
in which the Pyramid was then believed to have been built. The symbol
for ‘Ra’ – chief amongst the Egyptian gods at that time – was depicted
wrongly. Now surely if an Egyptian had painted that symbol he would have
got it right! Not to do so would have been a grave insult to the most
highly respected and feared of the Egyptian pantheon.
3. The stone sarcophagus which is contained within
the Great Pyramid is too large to have been brought into the chamber in
which it stands. Many books on
the subject of this particular anomaly either point blank ignore the
question or state rather bizarrely that the sarcophagus must have been installed
during the building process. Now, surely, to a civilisation as advanced
as that of the Ancient Egyptians, this solution would have made no
sense whatsoever. If the reason for making the sarcophagus – which
incidentally shows no indication of ever
having been occupied – larger than the doorway was to put off thieves,
surely the subsequent sealing of the chamber with huge stone portcullis
blocks, and the thorough blocking off of the Ascending Corridor which
leads to the King’s Chamber by three enormous granite plugs, would have
been sufficient. It is highly unlikely that the opportunistic thieves of
Ancient Egypt would have taken the time to plough through that much
solid rock just to get into a chamber which they must have known was
empty of all riches. And if the chamber was completely barren and empty,
why go to such great lengths to ensure that it wasn’t opened up ever
again? What secrets does the so-called King’s Chamber hold?
4. Some visitors, including the great and fearless
Emperor Napoleon himself, have experienced strange visions and
environmental distortions whilst inside the Great Pyramid, particularly
the King’s Chamber. In the 1930s, author Paul Brunton spent a night
there and was assailed by visions of “a circle of hostile creatures”
which he likened to “elemental creations, grotesque shapes, madmen,
hulking and devilish apparitions”. Was this mere hallucination? In more
recent times such ideas have been put down to the background radiation
given off by the black granite of the chamber, but surely if it was that
simple then everyone who visited the chamber would experience a similar
thing, wouldn’t they?
Early experiments indicated that the King’s Chamber ‘spirit stones’ did seem to generate
an electrical field which caused minor shock to at least one poor
visitor drinking from a metal hip flask! It has been suggested that the
Pyramid, because of its granite blocks, could transmit and receive radio
and even microwave signals very well, and some believe that it gives
off energy in an ‘emanating apex’ – this means that energy spirals off
the top of the structure in a circle which widens as it permeates the
atmosphere. Whilst some have seen this as mere New Age hokum, others
have said this confirms their suspicions that the Pyramid is some kind
of beacon intended for use from space.
More recently, ex-NASA consultant Richard Hoagland
has stated that radioactive sand was found in a chamber behind the
Queen’s Chamber, which might explain both the weird experiences of
Napoleon et al, and the anomalous radioactive date readings given by the
Pyramid -in which it appears that the top of the structure is 1000
years older than the bottom! This has led some people to speculate that
the Pyramid was constructed upside down in mid air by alien technology
and then swung over into place on the Giza Plateau. I could not possibly
comment.
5. A road eight feet wide and four inches thick
could be built from San Francisco to New York and put inside the Great
Pyramid. It has also been speculated that a wall three feet high and one
foot thick could be built all the way around France with the amount of
stone it took to build the Great Pyramid. Its perimeter is almost 1
kilometre, and the inside area – a massive 53,000 square metres – would
be able to incorporate the cathedrals of Florence, Milan and St Peter’s
(The Vatican), as well as Westminster Abbey and St Paul’s. And this was
accomplished by people of the Stone Age, yes?
6. They are the sole remnant of the Seven Wonders of the World. The Pyramids are also, apart from the Great Wall of China, the oldest surviving artificial structures on Earth.
7. There are no true hieroglyphic markings inside
the Pyramids – remarkable for a nation which carved them into just about
every available surface they had. Nor are there any real clues from
hieroglyphs elsewhere as to how the Pyramids were built. The only
hieroglyphs inside the Great Pyramid are the red paint daubings of
Howard Vyse and are not genuine Ancient Egyptian carvings. Although
Pyramids elsewhere in Egypt, most notably those of a much later date
than the Pyramids at Giza, do contain hieroglyphs – the derivation of
the so-called ‘Pyramid Texts’ – the Great Pyramid and its two companions
of the Giza Plateau are untouched by the scribe’s knife.
8. As Giza Pyramid investigator August Tornquist
states: “The Great Pyramid was the greatest single undertaking in the
whole history of mankind. And yet there is not one picture or drawing,
not one artefact, not one inventory or tally sheet to tell of its
construction. The Egyptians left us some 3000 years of written and
pictorial history covering virtually everything that happened in their
culture. From babies being born, to ploughing and harvesting, building,
weaving, sacrificing, praying, embalming… but nothing about the Pyramids
of Giza. Why?”
For a nation that loved to boast, they seem
strangely reticent to tell us anything about the Pyramids at Giza.
Perhaps the reason was simply because they were as much a mystery to the
Ancient Egyptians as they are to us.
There is in fact
documentary evidence – from Sumerian clay tablets unearthed in the great
historical library of Nineveh – that the Great Pyramid was known to the
Sumerians of 10,000 years ago, 6000 years before the first Pharaoh of
Egypt was even born!
9. It is built to face
true North, supposedly at a time when such computations could not have
been possible. Are we to believe that the Ancient Egyptians – on top of
all their other wonders – were also the first civilisation to possess
knowledge of mathematics so precise that they could determine true North
from magnetic North? Come to that, are we to believe that they could
even find magnetic North, or know what its significance was? Tied in
with this idea of being able to locate true North is the notion that the
Earth is round, a fact not generally accepted until the last few
centuries. Some still dispute it even today!
10. The Great Pyramid
is located at the exact centre of the Earth’s land mass. That is, its
East-West axis corresponds to the longest land parallel across the
Earth, passing through Africa, Asia, and America. Similarly, the longest
land meridian on Earth, through Asia, Africa, Europe, and Antarctica,
also passes right through the Pyramid. Since the Earth has enough land
area to provide 3 billion possible building sites for the Pyramid, the
odds of it having been built where it is are 1:3 billion. As previously
discussed in my article on Anomalous Maps, the ability to compute
longitude was not supposedly available to cartographers or anybody else
until the 18th century. Without an understanding of longitude it would
be exceptionally difficult to be able to pinpoint the size, shape, and
relative mappings of the Earth’s land masses and seas. Without longitude
it would have been near impossible to undertake major sea journeys, and
yet if the evidence (such as Egyptian mummies containing cocaine
traces) is reliable, the Egyptians did actually undertake such
exploratory missions, even as far as South America (the only place the
cocaine could have come from). (All this despite their apparent hatred
of sailing on the open seas!) And even if we accept that the Egyptians
of thousands of years ago were competent navigators, how could they have
known about the exact interrelation of the rest of the Earth’s land
mass? And then there are the statistics…
11. Like 20th century
bridge designs, the Great Pyramid’s cornerstones have balls and sockets
built into them. Several football fields long, the Pyramid is subject to
movements of expansion and contraction from heat and cold, as well as
earthquakes, settling, and other such phenomena. After 4,600 years its
structure would have been significantly damaged without such
construction. Recent construction experts called in to offer suggestions
as to how the Pyramid could have been built make reference to the
‘settle factor’ of any large building. They have publicly stated that
while the acceptable settle factor of a modern skyscraper is 6″ per
hundred years, the simple fact is that the Pyramid – using more
construction material than 35 Empire State Buildings – has settled less
than 1/2″ in 5000 years! Modern construction has also averred that
although for a large modern tower block the acceptable variance from
complete alignment of all four sides is 6″, the four sides of the
Pyramid are out of perfect alignment by less than 1/4″!
The casing stones,
144,000 in all, were so brilliant that they could literally be seen from
the mountains of Israel hundreds of miles away. For those interested in
possible symbolic significance, in Bible prophecy 144,000 is the number
of people – 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel – who are
supposed to evangelise the world in the days before the Apocalypse. The
outside surface stones are cut within 0.01″ of perfectly straight and at
nearly perfect right angles for all six sides. And they were placed
together with a gap between them of only 0.02″. Modern technology cannot
place such 20-ton stones with greater accuracy than those in the
Pyramid. As already noted above, the variance from perfect alignment
seen in the Pyramid is still something which is unattainable today.
What can we deduce from
these facts? That whoever built the Pyramids used a technology that we
still do not possess today to cut, move, and cement stones. Whoever
built it also had some considerable knowledge of the Earth, because they
were built in one of the few locations with a strong enough bedrock to
support the great weight. The builders also knew where the greatest land
mass of the Earth was in both the North-South and East-West directions.
After studying the detailed measurements made by the investigators
before him, Sir Isaac Newton (who was fascinated by the Pyramids)
recognised that many key measurements would be in round numbers if the
standard unit of measure was just 0.001″ (1/1,000) larger than the
British inch – which just happens to be the Sacred Jewish Inch. (The
Sacred Jewish Inch, 1/25 of a cubit, equals 1.00106 British inches.)
This discovery allowed the secrets of the Pyramid to be unlocked and
revealed unmistakable and mathematical relationships.
For instance: A – We
know from geometry that there is a universal relationship between the
diameter of a circle and its circumference. Consider this: The height of
the Pyramid’s apex is 5,812.98″, and each side is 9,131″ from corner to
corner (in a straight line). If the circumference of the Pyramid is
divided by twice its height (the diameter of a circle is twice the
radius), the result is 3.14159, which just happens to be pi. Incredibly,
this calculation is accurate to six digits. So the Pyramid is a square
circle, and thus pi was designed into it 4,600 years ago. Pi is
demonstrated many times throughout the Pyramid.
B – Other numbers are
also repeated throughout. Each of the Great Pyramid’s four walls, when
measured as a straight line, are 9,131″, for a total of 36,524″. At
first glance, this number may not seem significant, but move the decimal
point over and you get 365.24. Modern science has shown us that the
exact length of the solar year is 365.24 days.
C – The average height
of land above sea level (Miami being low and the Himalayas being high),
as can be measured only by modern-day satellites and computers, happens
to be 5,449″. That is the exact height of the Pyramid.
D – All four sides of
the Pyramid are very slightly and evenly bowed in, or concave. This
effect, which cannot be detected by looking at the Pyramid from the
ground, was discovered around 1940 by a pilot taking aerial photos to
check certain measurements. As measured by today’s laser instruments,
all of these perfectly cut and intentionally bowed stone blocks
duplicate exactly the curvature of the earth. The radius of this bow is
equal to the radius of the Earth. This radius of curvature is what
Newton had long been seeking.
All this has led many
to see the Pyramids (particularly the Great Pyramid) as being built by
visitors from another planet, since the technology was obviously not
such as would have been available to Stone Age Man. The theorists
speculate that the Pyramid is a message, a symbol of knowledge which we
as early humans learnt to decipher, and hence built our own versions of
the Pyramid, examples of which litter the Egyptian desert plateau in
crumbling ruins. This message indicates that whoever built the Pyramid
knew the Earth well: the length of the year, the radius of curvature,
the standard measurement techniques, the average height of the
continents, and the centre of the land mass. They were able to construct
something that we still cannot construct today, and they were able to
tie all these things together in this single structure. Were they
extraterrestrial, or perhaps even supernatural? Some people think so
