FOOTNOTES
to The Great Pyramid, Part II. Chronography 1a. Dan Millar, who has been posting messages around the internet about the Virgin Mary, says this, "If you study the Virgin Mary's messages, you will come across the following; (Paraphrasing) "The Lady first held up three fingers, then four, then all five. She said, 'The three stands for March, four is April, and the five is May 5th. It will be an important day for souls.' " Perhaps the date May 5 comes from a source like this, because the book reveals NOTHING about that date deriving from the Pyramid. 1 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham: (Psa 78:51) Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. (Psa 105:23) They showed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. (Psa 105:27) Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea. (Psa 106:22) 2 "And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits... "(Gen 6:15) 3 I have read sources that say the meridian of Paris was used as a standard by the French, but other sources have other places. I have not pinpointed the exact place that was originally used in setting up the metric system. The point is irrelevant, and the things I say here about Paris would apply to any other location.

HOW THE EGYPTIANS BUILT THE PYRAMIDS
BY RICHARD KOSLOW If people can lift water with a counter weight, why not use the same principle to lift stones, huge stones, like the ones used to build the pyramids? Back in ancient Egypt, a device called a shadoof was commonly used to move water. A shadoof is a long pole, weighted at one end, perhaps with a stone, and a vessel on the other end, used for raising water to irrigate the land. They pulled down the vessel, filled it under the water, and then easily lifted it by the counter weight. These water lifting machines showed that the Egyptians knew something about weights, fulcrum, and balance long before they built the pyramids . This method of lifting heavy stones with a counter weight is an idea that I am sure Historians may have thought of in the past, but dismissed because there is no evidence that it was ever done with huge stones.
The most commonly held solution for moving these large blocks is to slide skids under the blocks so that many men would pull the skid along the ground and up ramps built around the pyramid to the level required. Pictured is a hieroglyphic panel showing the use of skids. Getting the block off the skid would be laborious enough, but moving the 5-ton block and placing it in its proper position in the pyramid by pushing and shoving seems inconceivable.

Pyramids of Giza: Overview
To the west of Cairo, where the Sahara borders the Nile Valley, is the plateau of Giza. Here you will find some of the most famous constructions in human history: the Pyramids of Giza, built by kings Cheops, Khafre and Mycerinus in the middle of the third millenium B.C.
If you want to have the pyramids all to yourself, you will have to get up very early in the morning, or else go on a long walk into the desert. And even there it won't be long before Muhammad, All or Abdu appear and try to persuade you to hire a ride on their animal, which depending on where you come from - will answer to the proud name of Bismarck, Napoleon or Nelson. But they may also sell postcards, souvenir papyri or offer themselves as a picturesque foreground for a photo of the pyramids. Click here for pictures of the Pyramids of Giza
At seven o'clock in the morning the world is still "at peace": the caravanserei at the foot of the pyramids is still dozing quietly, and the pyramids and the Great Sphinx lie peacefully before you. As the day goes on the scene gets busier. But even the hustle and bustle, the school groups, tourists, traders and camel drivers have their own charm - albeit a very different one.
Even in ancient times the pyramids were regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and still today their perfection of form and outstanding engineering arouse astonishment and admiration. This aura of wonder was nourished not least by the countless stories and rumors which surrounded them, and which still exist in modern times.

Here are the traditional cheesy pyramid shots. You can't really be a proper Egypt tourist until you've been on a horse or camel, and been cheated at least a dozen times. On this particular day, I drug my ass out of bed at 4AM to see the pyramids at dawn, but ended up riding a horse for an hour just to look at fog. This particular shot was taken several hours later. These shots show some of the other things that appear around the pyramids. The pyramids were part of an evolutionary process that made the ancient Egyptians use more and more elaborate burial rituals up until the pyramids, and then go back to simpler ones after that. This one shows an old cemetery close to the pyramids. This one shows remains of some of the earlier tombs that were used before the pyramid idea took shape. There are better examples of the earlier tomb styles at other places in Egypt that I didn't go to. These shots try to give some idea of the size of these things. They're

MASTABA
  • 1. Mastabas were early, single tier burial tombs, with sloping walls, so the flat roof area was smaller than that of the base. 2. Mastaba comes from the arabic word. 'mastabah', and means 'stone bench'. 3. A mastaba basically consisted of two parts. A deep underground burial area, and a chapel area within the structure itself where offerings could be made to the deceased. 4. The earliest were made of unfired mud bricks. (Most commonly used construction material in ancient Egypt) 5. The very large mastabas have stone walls around them, which often took the form of a palace-facade. 6. Later mastabas became more complex with numerous chambers. 7. In the mastaba of Mereruka, at Saqqara, there are 32 chambers. 8. The interiors also became more ornate, with coloured bas-reliefs. 9. Decorative scenes would include; feasting, hunting, dancing, music, agriculture, fishing, boats etc.

Immediately outside the airport is the gigantic garage of about 10 levels, featuring the typical auto-culture here in the States. Well, that is un-human scale at all!

Barry Williams What is a pyramid? Is it a polyhedron whose base is a polygon and whose sides are triangles having a common vortex? Well, yes it is, but it is far more than that. The pyramid, which in its megalithic manifestation played a very important role in the histories of two early civilisations, has excited more speculation and fantasy than has any other solid geometrical shape. Cubes and dodecahedrons have never had the press of the pyramid. Before we investigate some of the more fantastic myths that have attached themselves to pyramids, we should review some of the facts which, to the inquiring mind, are far more fascinating than the fantasies.
The Pyramids of Egypt
The heading of this section is the title of the book widely regarded as the definitive work on the topic. Written by I.E.S. Edwards, keeper of Egyptian antiquities at the British Museum from 1955 72, this book presents the facts in a most readable form and is the reference for the archaeological information in this article. The history of Dynastic Egyptian civilisation covers more than 3000 years, of which the Pyramid Age accounts for fewer than 500, although this form of construction continued, in a much debased form, for a further 500. There are more than 90 known pyramids in Egypt, some of which are so ruined as to appear only as heaps of rubble.

Phi The foolishness of the common assumption, that the Giza plateau pyramids were built and utilized by fourth Dynasty kings as funerary structures, cannot be overstated. It is a matter of archaeological fact that none of the fourth Dynasty kings put their names on the pyramids supposedly constructed in their times, yet from the fifth Dynasty onwards, the other pyramids had hundreds of official inscriptions, leaving us no doubt about which kings built them. The mathematical complexity, engineering requirements, and sheer size of the Giza plateau pyramids represent an enormous, seemingly impossible leap in abilities over the third dynasty buildings. Contemporary Egyptological explanation cannot account for this leap, nor can they account for the clear decline in mathematics, engineering and size of the constructions of the fifth dynasty. Textbooks speak of "religious upheaval" and "civil wars," but there is no evidence whatsoever of these having occurred. The attribution to Khufu of the Great Pyramid is founded solely upon three very circumstantial pieces of "evidence":

Schematic of Interior The Pyramid contains two interior chambers and a number of interior shafts. The interior shafts all generally lie in a north-south vertical plane section of the pyramid, displaced a little east of the center of the pyramid: The Entrance shaft starts at an entrance on the north face, a little above ground level, and descends at an angle of about 26 degrees. Since the latitude of Giza is about 30 degrees North, if you go into the entrance shaft and look back, you will see a part of the sky centered about 4 degrees from the North Pole in the sky. If you could see through the ground and the Earth as you looked forward going down the Entrance shaft, you would see an area near the South Pole in the sky.
THE GRAND GALLERY The Grand Gallery has 7-step corbeled side walls. Some parts of the Grand Gallery walls contain salt deposits, but not as much as in the Mid Chamber. The length of the Grand Gallery is 1881.5985600+ PI, and its width just above the ramp stones is 82.41 PI. The Grand Gallery is 28 feet high by 1881-1/3 PI long.

Egyptian Museum The last bus stop before Cairo was Suez. Without understanding the background I suddenly found the bus driver struggling heavily with a couple of passengers. But after bus station security’s intervention the conflict was solved without injuries.
After passing Cairo’s traditional traffic jam the bus dropped us at a place in the middle of nowhere, which is obviously common as we experiences later. Probably buses use to terminate always next to the bus drivers home or another places of the drivers choice.
According to the Lonely Planet the Dahab Hotel is a acceptable budget place to stay. But in comparison to other places of the same price range it is definitely low end in terms of cleanness and comfort. The restroom is only separated from the bed by a blinds and lying in the bed you experience the toilet activities totally unmuted. Addtionally next morning our skins were covered by flea bites.
Anyway we started the Cairo discovery by a lunch in Abu Tarek’s famous fast food restaurant. The serve a unified dish consisting of noodles, various kind of legumes and a very very delicious sauce. Simple food - but great taste.

The Step Pyramid of
Djoser (Zoser)
Across the Great Court of the Pyramid Complex of Djoser (Zoser) (2667 - 2648 BC), the second king of the 3rd Dynasty, stands the Step Pyramid . It is believed to have been created by one man, Imhotep. He has been called Doctor, Sage, Architect, Astronomer and High Priest. During an excavation in 1924-26, a pedestal of a statue of Djoser (Zoser) was found. This complex represents the first major work in stone. That is, unless there are other works that have yet to be found. On the Pyramid, most of the outer casing is gone. In some places the core masonry has disappeared as well. It is obvious there were different stages of construction. The eastern side gives the best picture, but it can be seen from the northern and southern side as well. After the third stage was finished, the process to make it a true step pyramid was begun. Over 200,000 tons of stone was used to make the additional two tiers that went above the existing two-tiered structure. An additional two tiers were added above the existing four to make it into the six-tiered pyramid which is there today. A Tura limestone face was added on. On the northern side of the pyramid, a few blocks of the casing remain. The casing blocks from the Great Pyramid rested on the individual blocks of the core masonry. The casing blocks on the step pyramid were set at an angle to take up the thrust of the successive layers.

It concerns recent "curious activities" apparently occurring inside the Great Pyramid, now confirmed by on-site Enterprise representatives reporting back directly from Giza, Egypt.

But, after more than a year of carrying out extensive new scientific surveys of the Giza Plateau including several in the immediate vicinity of the highly-controversial Sphinx involving seismological investigations, ground penetrating radar of the subsurface Plateau geology, and sound experiments conducted inside the Great Pyramid itself nothing definitive has been reported to the world at large. And, there has been no follow-on permission by the Egyptian government to actually dig at any of the intriguing sites discovered. The "Schor situation" has grown increasingly similar to countless
