Ancient Earth Religions - What Is A Sacred Site? Ancient peoples intuited power places, worshipped Nature there, performed healingsand other ceremonies, and in France, and the egyptian pyramid complex, with http://www.xploreheartlinks.com/sacredsites.htm
Extractions: By Lauren O. Thyme A sacred site is a locale where the earth's power radiates more strongly in a vortex of energy. Sacred sites are usually situated on natural energy streams that run beneath the earth's surface. Sacred places can be natural, like holy wells or rock formations, or built out of stone and earth. Ancient peoples intuited power places, worshipped Nature, the Goddess and other deities there, performed healings and other ceremonies, and used them as "temples of learning." Often they raised monuments of huge stones containing high concentrations of crystalline substances, using advanced techniques since forgotten or lost in modern times. They aligned their monuments, as distinctly seen at Stonehenge, Carnac in France, and the Egyptian pyramid complex, with the potency of the extra-terrestrial forces of the sun, moon, planets and/or stars to augment the already vital energies pulsating there. Ancient people often built their sites using sacred geometry such as circles, ovals, and pyramids. Furthermore, using arcane knowledge, ancient people were able to "seal in" the immense power of their sacred sites with ritual and ceremony, so that sacred sites still vibrate with wisdom and energy after thousands of years. With the advent of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism, new religious edifices were often built on top of ancient sacred sites, like Chartres in France and Glastonbury Abbey in England. However, these religions retained intuitive understanding and ancient memories of the mystical and mysterious forces of nature and utilized the power of these sites.

Extractions: BC to about 2184 BC Introduction The Old Kingdom is composed of Dynasties 3 through 6 inclusive, covering about five-hundred years. As the Old Kingdom dissolved a period of unrest ensued. Old Kingdom Old Kingdom Egypt The Old Kingdom began in 2686, with the start of the third dynasty, and lasted until 2184 the end of the sixth. The end of the sixth dyansty saw the country divided again into. The Old Kingdom saw the development of elaborate royal pyramids as burying places with courtiers buried around them in a city of the dead. The major Old Kingdom pyramid and other commemorative burial sites are indicated with red text in the map to the left. The location of quarries for the major materials (limestone, granite, and alabaster) in building pyramids are indicated in purple text. The Old Kingdom administratively was centered at Memphis. Although in the 3rd and 4th Dynasties the Pharaohs had still come from Hierakonpolis in Upper Egypt as they had in the first two dynasties. It should be noted that place names in Egypt have many alias and many different spellings. For example: Sakkara can also be spelled Saqqra, Giza can be spelled Gizha, and most names have a Greek as well as an Egyptian equivalent: so the city at the first cataract of the Nile is Elephantine or Abu; and the city of Herakleopolis is also Ihnasiya.

Extractions: By Coen Vonk The Mighty Ones perform their great works, and leave behind them everlasting monuments to commemorate their visit, every time they penetrate within our mayavic veil (atmosphere) . . . H. P. Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine Many are attracted to the mysterious old buildings of Egypt: millions have visited them, television programs focus on them, and numerous books are published on this subject. Perhaps the interest is caused by something lacking in our life today. Modern society is characterized by a high degree of technological and material development, but spiritually it is barely in its infancy. People who long to balance this one-sided knowledge about matter with knowledge about spirit may intuitively feel that the civilization of ancient Egypt, with its monuments that speak to the imagination, points the way to hidden truths of life. On the Giza plateau hundreds of tourists gaze in amazement at the gigantic structures. How and why were they built, when and by whom? The dominant scientific theory remains that the Egyptian pyramids were built to serve as tombs. Yet in the approximately 110 Egyptian pyramids discovered, not one mummy of the supposed builders* has been found, and the same applies to the 180 pyramids of Sudan, built with bricks by another culture at a later time. Though these are not as large as the Egyptian pyramids, still they are impressive. While Egyptologists maintain that mummies in the pyramids were looted, "unlooted" pyramids contained no mummies either. Moreover, in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, where all the graves had been ransacked except that of Tutankhamon, in many cases a mummy (sometimes shattered) and various related objects were found.

Extractions: A comprehensive and accurate picture of the development of Egyptian civilization is not however, as clear as the preceding chronological listing implies. To put it quite bluntly, while the hieroglyphic language of the Egyptians was deciphered by Champollion in 1822 and succeeding generations of archaeologists have done admirable work in excavating, preserving and measuring the monumental architecture of the Egyptians, current Egyptological 'science' knows next to nothing about the origins of Egyptian civilization and the fundamental philosophy that underlaid it. This matter is far to complex to deal with in this essay but a few quotes from Egyptian specialists will alert my readers to the very limited knowledge we have concerning the ancient Egyptian culture and, most particularly, its origins. From the brilliant and self-described 'rogue' Egyptologist John Anthony West, we learn that: "It is not until the very last stages of Egypt, in Macedonian and Ptolomaic times (beginning in 332BC), that anything resembling our form of history exists. Egyptian history, such as it is, has been

Extractions: Khufu's Great Pyramid Workers finish one of the smaller pyramids at the Great Pyramid complex at Giza. It's 756 feet long on each side, 450 high and is composed of 2,300,000 blocks of stone, each averaging 2 1/2 tons in weight. Despite the makers' limited surveying tools no side is more than 8 inches different in length than another, and the whole structure is perfectly oriented to the points of the compass. Until the 19th century it was the tallest building in the world and, at the age of 4,500 years, it is the only one of the famous " Seven Wonders of the Ancient World " that still stands. It is the Great Pyramid of Khufu, at Giza, Egypt. Some of the earliest history of the Pyramid comes from a Greek traveler named Herodotus of Halicanassus. He visited Egypt around 450 BC and included a description of the Great Pyramid in a history book he wrote. Herodotus was told by his Egyptian guides that it took twenty-years for a force of 100,000 oppressed slaves to build the pyramid. Stones were lifted into position by the use of immense machines. The purpose of the structure, according to Herodotus's sources, was as a tomb for the Pharaoh Khufu (whom the Greeks referred to as Cheops).

Extractions: M. Lichtheim - Ancient Egyptian Literature, volume II, page 175-178. T his is the story of my travels in Egypt from September 15 through September 26, 1997, with my little stuffed-animal friend Mousey . While Mousey and I were in Egypt, I kept a diary of the places we went, the things we saw, and the way we felt when we saw these places and things. I also took lots and lots of pictures not only of the things that Mousey and I saw, but also of Mousey visiting them. M ousey really liked Egypt and he liked having his picture taken lots. So he made sure that he was always ready to go sightseeing every morning. Mousey posed for lots of pictures: He posed for pictures sitting on the laps of statues. He posed for pictures in front of the pyramids. He posed for pictures climbing into and out of pyramids, sitting on statues and sarcophagus, peeking out of holes in walls and columns, and in many other places. I have posted the text of Mousey's Diary which I kept while Mousey and I were in Egypt. This diary provides the raw material from which I am writing the story of my travels with Mousey. It begins with Mousey and me sitting on the airplane, counting down the hours to go before we land in Egypt. The diary is sometimes sketchy as I had to find the time to jot down my thoughts on airplanes, buses and in hotel rooms at the end of a long day. I have edited the diary so that it is a little less jumpy, but I have tried not to vary it too much from the original.

This page is on Egyptian Pyramids. The lesson has follow-up questions and additional links are included to follow for more study and illustrations. Pyramids of Ancient Egypt The rich and famous of Egypt were buried in a building known as a Mastabas. A Mastabas was a flat roofed building with sloping sides. It had a shaft in the middle of the building down to another chamber where the body and goods of the deceased would be housed. Djoser was the first pharaoh to build a pyramid for his burial place. Originally Inhopet, the designer, built a large Mastabas for Djoser. On the Mastabas he then constructed a four step pyramid. Later it was expanded again to a six step pyramid which still can be seen today. The step pyramid is rectangular with six levels over 195 feet in height. He built the pyramid about 25 miles south of current day Cairo at a complex know as Saqqara. In the Forth Dynasty the pyramid changed to the smooth pyramids of which the Cheops and is the most famous near Cairo. The Cheops pyramid measures 479 feet high. It has 2,300,000 stones each weighing an average of 2.5 tons.

This is obvious: build it on bedrock, whicht the Eqyptians were smart enough to do. Need to make that base level so that no point is higher than any other point. How the Eqyptians did this was figured out in the past 50 years. For orientation purposes, we need to find the cardinal compass directions (N, E, S, W). Magnetic compasses are not allowed. The North Star, Polaris, is usually lost in the horizon haze in the Egyptian latitudes.

Extractions: - Memphis - Memphis is the Greek version of one of the many names the Ancient Egyptians used to denote the city that lay on the border between Upper- and Lower-Egypt. The Egyptian version of of the name "Memphis", Mn-nfr , "the beautiful monument" was used originally for the pyramid of Pepi I, but from the 18th Dynasty on, this name was extended to cover the entire region or city where this pyramid was built. It is not known why the name of a monument of relatively minor importance, such as Pepi I's pyramid as compared to the pyramid of Kheops in Giza, became the name of the entire city. The original name given to this city and used together with the name Mn-nfr , was inb-hD "the White Wall(s)", a reference to the white walls surrounding it. According to Manetho , the city of Memphis was founded by Menes soon after the unification of Egypt. This is supported by the fact that the oldest known tombs of any importance were built at that period, but it needs to be noted that the area was inhabited even before Narmer's reign. During the Old Kingdom , it served as the nation's capital and it held the kings' primary residence. The end of the Old Kingdom by no means meant the end of Memphis as one of the most important cities in Egypt. Quite to the contrary! Memphis remained the political and administrative center of Lower- and Middle-Egypt. This importance was recognised even by the Theban kings of the

One final word. I) Egypt, the dawn of history: The civilization of ancient Egypt is significant in several ways. Together with those of Mesopotamia, India, and China, it was one of the earliest civilizations, and it is perhaps the best example of continuous cultural evolution based on internal stimuli, rather than the complex mix of internal and external factors found, for example, in Mesopotamia.
Extractions: in the land of Egypt, even to this day "Typology"is the study of prophetic foreshadowing the use of metaphor, allusion, and symbol that goes beyond the literal interpretation of words, phrases,and the mere physical expression of an object. By studying the typologyof the anomalous structures on Cydonia the geometry and the numbers encoded therein one can gain insight into the identity of the builders. These anomalies resemble monumental structures : a sphinx-like face, a huge five sided pyramid, a complex of over 12 smaller pyramids resembling a city,and a strange mile wide, 500 foot high seemingly artificially mound or"tholus", complete with a peripheral ditch and central spiral groove. Precisely to the East of the city another significant monument looms into view. It is a majestic landmark made of "earth", the soil of the planet from which it rises rises 500 feet above the desert plane. (Ibid., Illustration.# 11) This artificial hill and its terrestrial counterpart have a typological precedent in scripture. Joshua details the tribes of Israel after they had entered the promised land. God designated the areas where each tribe of Israel would settle. The troops of Rueben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manassah left the army of Israel in Canaan and crossed the Jordan River to their own homeland of Gilead. Before they went across, while still in Canaan, they built a huge earthenmonument for everyone to see, "an altar of grand appearance". Joshua 22:10.
