Carved out of solid stone, the Sphinx
gazes out across the Egyptian desert, away from the pyramid under
which it lays. It's body is severely eroded although the Egyptian
government is now restoring it. What caused this heavy decay?
The Sphinx is made out of a hard stone
indigenous to the area, was the erosion just from being pelted by
sand during wind storms, similar to sandblasting. Archeologist's
think not! Not from a sandblasting effect any how! Perhaps water also
came into play in the erosion process.
Geologist's agree that in the ancient
past Egypt was the victim of severe flooding. This is thought to be
from a time when the sea table was nine feet higher than it is today.
When the North American ice fields melted creating Lake Agassi, a
glacier lake in the upper northern United States and adjoining
Canada.
Most flood myth's contain a culture
hero who strives to ensure his rebirth. Many believe that flood
myths' originated from the findings of fossils, seashells and fish
skeletal remains in unusual places such as mountain tops.
Native Americans also expressed this
belief in their early encounters with the European's. Some
geologists theorize that great and instant flooding of rivers in the
distant past might have influenced these legends.
Tidal waves could also be part of this
theory in coastal areas. The Ryan Pittman theory argues that around
B.C.5600 a catastrophic flood occurred from the Mediterranean Sea and
flowed into the Black Sea.
There is also speculation that a large
tidal wave from the Thera eruption dated 1630-1600 B.C. Was part of
folklore that evolved into Deucelion myth. The tidal wave hit the
Aegean Sea and Crete but it did not affect the Greek islands.
Because the Thera Title wave didn't
affect Greece one can conclude that the wave had a local versus a
regional affect. There is also the thought that a meteor or a comet
crashed into the Indian Ocean around 3000 BCE, which created the
Burckle Crater and generated a tidal wave that flooded coastal lands.
Lake Agassi which covered most of
Saskatchewan, Manitoba,, Ontario, Minnesota and eastern North Dakota
had significant drainage periods in 13000 B.C. And 8400 B.C. The last
drainage occurred when Hudson Bay area had a dramatic warming and
Hudson Bay melted. This massive lake drained into the Mississippi
River Valley, and into the Gulf or Mexico. It also was draining into
Lake Superior, and Hudson Bay, which leads into the Arctic ocean.
This lake was larger than all of the
Great Lakes combined in volume of water, it contained more water than
all of the lakes in the world today combined.
This occurred in less than a year and
raised the world wide water levels by nine feet. This had a
significant impact on climate, sea levels, and possibly early human
civilizations world wide. A major influx of fresh water was released
into the Arctic Ocean which had an effect on ocean currants, and a
cooling of the oceans.
The 13,000 B.C. drainage is associated
with the Big Freeze! This lasted seventy years, which happened 12,800
years ago. It is thought that this happened as a result of the
melting of North American ice fields.
The interesting point is, based on
geological evidence, the Sphinx is older than Egypt itself! This
makes us return to legends of Egyptian Pharaoh's being descendants of
god's or extraterrestrials from the Sirius star system, known as
Osirius. The Pharaoh's considered themselves to be direct descendants
of Osirius and the legends of the Indus Valley, the Sumerian’s and
Atlantis give creadance to these legends.
The Sphinx is thought to represent
Pharaoh Chephren. There were several statues of the Pharaoh in the
temple next to the Sphinx. The head of the Sphinx is quite small in
proportion to it's body. Some feel that at one time it had a more
natural looking head, they feel at some point it was re-carved.
The Temple next to the Sphinx was built
out of granite blocks, the hardest substance on mother earth with the
exception of diamonds, these blocks weighed over 100 tons apeice. The
blocks are fitted together in a geometric pattern and were
interlocked together like a jigsaw puzzle.
It is interesting to compare this
method of construction to that of Cuzo, Sacsayhuaman, Ollantaytambo
and Machu Picchu. Often found in ancient megalithic construction in
some of the worlds most remote and inhospitable areas.
There is a complicated maze of
underground secret tunnels and rooms beneath the Giza Plateau, these
tunnels lead to various pyramids starting from the Sphinx, these
passageways are associated with the Mystical Schools of Egypt.
A shaft in the Giza Plateau leads to a
subterranean area known as Cambell's Tomb. As one looks down the
shaft one notices a steel grate obstructing passage into the shaft
leading towards Cambells Tomb. The shaft is fifteen feet square and
runs 100 feet deep.
On each side of the shaft leading to
Cambells Tomb are many tunnels that exit from the shaft. These
tunnels are part of a network of tunnels going beneath Giza Plateau.
It is extremely dangerous to penetrate these tunnels and subterranean
rooms weather they are caverns, part of a cave system or artificially
made.
The legends and myths of ancient Egypt
are quite prolific. Some believe based on these legends that the lost
library of Atlantis is hidden beneath Giza Plateau. This library is
referred to as the “Ancient Hall of Records”. Some believe that
the Ancient Hall of Records contain “Sacred Knowledge” in the
form of “quartz crystals” similar to a hologram being encoded by
a laser today.
During the Dark Ages of European
history when evil priesthoods tried to control mankind there were
machines and technology from this long forgotten period of history.
There are some that believe that the Ark of the Covenant was kept in
the Great Pyramid until Moses needed it.
The pyramids of the Giza Plateau are
considered to be unexplained engineering of the ancient world.
Legends state that teams of 10,000 slaves labored for ten years to a
build a ramp for the blocks; another twenty years to build the
pyramid then another ten years to put the casing stones on the
pyramid, starting from the top and working down the pyramid.
Legends state that Cheops financed the
endeavor in part by having his daughter work as a prostitute. An
inscription at the base of the pyramid told of how many onions and
radishes it took to feed the slaves. There isn't any archeological
evidence to support these legends as of yet. P. Garde-Hansen a Danish
engineer calculated the amount of material that it would have taken
to build the ramp leading to the top of the pyramid. He calculated it
would have taken seventeen and a half million cubic yards of
material. This figure is seven times more material then was needed in
the building of the pyramid itself.
The placing of limestone casing stones
weighing over ten tons each is still not addressed however the hats
on top of the statues on Easter Island which stand sixty feet in the
air also weighed ten tons each and are of a different stone then that
of the statues. This makes one take a serious look at the Sacred
Knowledge that our ancient ancestors obviously had acquired. Was the
Sanskrit-Manna at play here perhaps?
It has been reported that Pharaoh Zoser
built the first pyramid in 2750 BC. According to the ancient text
“Famine Stele” which was discovered a hundred years ago in Egypt
near Elephantine, it consisted of 2600 hieroglyphic characters of
which 650 have been interpreted.
These interpretations were dealing with
stone fabrications. The texts claim that an Egyptian god gave Pharaoh
Zoser instructions on how to fabricate stone! In these instructions
were a list of 29 minerals that could be processed with crushed
limestone and other natural ingredients to produce a synthetic stone
which was used in the construction of the pyramid.
Egyptians named these stones after
their physical properties, “onion ore, garlic ore and horseradish
ore. These stones also gave off odors of their ingredients. There
were also arsenic, phosphates from bones and animal waste, Nile silt,
quartz and limestone.
The ingredients were mixed with water
and poured into wooden forms much like concrete contractors do today.
It is thought that the cement used in the construction of the
pyramids binds the ingredients together in a process that occurs in
the formation of natural stone.
This means that the synthetic stone is
extremely difficult if not impossible to distinguish from natural
stone. Egyptian cement lasts thousands of years, while natural
cement that is made today only lasts around 150 years, this in part
is because the Egyptian cement is molecular bonded and today’s
cement is mechanically bonded and mixed.
This seems quite a process and an
engineering feat that hasn't been duplicated to this day! What
exactly was the purpose of the pyramids? The historic perspective was
that the pyramids were tombs of pharaoh's but evidence doesn't
support this theory.
There has never been a mummy or the
remains of anyone ever found in a pyramid! Egyptian mummies and the
remains of pharaoh's have been found in underground tombs carved out
of rock primarily in the Valley of the Kings, where Pharaoh
Tutankhamen, his father Prince Akhenaten, and his father Pharaoh
Amonhotep III were discovered.
It is a historical fact that the
funeral celebrations took place at the pyramids but the pharaoh’s
were never found in them, the pharaoh’s were found in tunnels and
vaults carved into solid stone which took years to prepare. This is
not to stay that they weren't kept in the pyramids for a short time
and then moved to one of the vaults.
There are ten pyramids in the Valley of
the Kings, none have remains in them but all have a tunnel system
that goes under the Giza Plateau and leads to the Sphinx with several
connecting vaults along the way. All of three pyramids have burial
chambers in them, without human remains. There are fourteen burial
chambers in nine of the pyramids we are excluding the oldest pyramid
built by Pharaoh Zolas. However there were only three sarcophagus in
all of these nine pyramids.
The sarcophagus in the Cheops pyramid
was placed into the Kings Burial chamber while under construction the
entrance to the chamber was to small for the sarcophagus to be
removed. One wonders what happened to the other sarcophagus in the
other burial chambers in the nine pyramids. Perhaps they weren't used
for the purpose of burial of human remains perhaps they had another
purpose.
There are many thoughts on the purpose
of the pyramids, they were built using sacred geometry, were they
aligned with heavenly planets and star systems, I believe so,
everything about ancient Egypt centers around Orion’s Belt and the
Sirius star system, but why a pyramid, they must have another purpose
other than astronomical observatories. It is interesting to note that
pyramids also exist in South America and it is felt that there are
several that have been swallowed by the sea.
There are thoughts that the pyramids
served as a power plant. This might be a good point to review my
section on Nicola Tesla and microwaves. There seems to have been an
unbelievable amount of machinery and ancient technology but how were
these things powered?
