The Age of the Pyramids
The Great Pyramid of Giza, among the seven wonders of the ancient world,
points towards the celestial north pole with a margin of error of only a tiny
fraction of one degree.
Dr. Kate Spence, a British Egyptologist, believes she may have solved two
of the great mysteries of archaeology - how the ancient Egyptians aligned the
pyramid with such remarkable geographical accuracy and when the vast royal tomb
was built.
Pointing north
The Great Pyramid is a master of precision. Comprised of an estimated 2.5
million limestone blocks, archaeologists have known for over a century that the
Great Pyramid was pointed almost exactly north, but nobody has been able to
explain how the ancient Egyptians managed to align it with such unprecedented
accuracy.

The deviation in accuracy is minute as Dr. Spence explains:
‘The Great Pyramid is extremely accurately aligned towards north. The sides
deviate from true north by less than three ark minutes, that’s less than a
twentieth of a degree, which is extremely accurate in terms of orientation.’
Modern astronomers would have little difficulty in finding north because the
Pole Star, Polaris, is almost directly above the North Pole. But astronomers
know that the Earth regularly wobbles very slowly on its axis over a period of
26,000 years and so in ancient Egyptian times there would have been no star
overhead marking true north.
The Spence theory
Using computer simulations of the night sky as it would have been seen at the
time of the Egyptians, Dr Spence, from Cambridge University, suggests that the
ancient Egyptians carefully monitored two stars which revolve in the northern
region of the night sky.
The north-finding stars were Kochab, in the bowl of the Little Dipper (Ursa
Minor), and Mizar, in the middle of the handle of The Plough or Big Dipper (Ursa
Major). Dr Spence says that the ancient Egyptians realised that when one was
directly above the other then the line between the two-marked true north.
Dr Spence speculates that these astronomical calculations were made at
special ceremonies early in a pharaoh's reign and that construction work would
then begin on the pyramids to house their tombs. She explains:
'What would probably have happened is that the king would have dressed in his
ceremonial gear, and there would probably have been priests dressed as gods who
would begin stretching chords and marking out the base. It would have been a
highly charged religious atmosphere, taking place in the dark, at night, with
torches everywhere. It would have been a spectacular ceremony.'
The ancient Egyptians fascination with the night sky is well known. Believing
that the Gods lived in the Duat, an afterworld in the sky, the pharoahs who were
responsible for the construction of the pyramid at Giza, would have associated
the stars with eternity and afterlife.
Dating the pyramids
In the past the date of the ancient Egyptian pyramids has been a source of
much debate among historians, who have put it at around the middle of the third
millennium BC, by tracing the chronology of Kings. However, publishing her
research in the scientific journal Nature, Dr Spence says her theory gives a
more precise date for the beginning of construction work on the Great Pyramid.
The celestial north pole was only aligned exactly with Kochab and Mizar in 2,
467 BC, which would put the beginning of building work about 70 years later than
many archaeologists, have previously thought.
Dr Owen Gingerich, Senior Astronomer, at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for
Astrophysics said Dr Spence's theory is an ingenious and convincing astronomical
solution to a long-standing mystery. He comments:
‘I was rather tickled to see the solution that she had put forward and
wondered why nobody else had thought of it before, because I think it makes a
lot of sense and it has an internal coherence.’

How Old are the Pyramids?
by JOSEPH JOCHMANS
The controversy raised by John Anthony West and Robert Schoch
concerning the true age of the Great Sphinx is now beginning to
overcast the other famous monuments which share space on the Giza
plateau—namely, the three pyramids that were supposedly built by
Pharaohs Khufu, Khafre and Menkhare in the Fourth Dynasty. Were
these Pyramids constructed only 4,300 years ago, or—like the
Sphinx—is there evidence they could be far older, dating instead
to perhaps 12,000 years ago?
Let’s begin first with looking at the age of the Great Pyramid.
The conservative historians’ entire case for dating the Great
Pyramid to the Fourth Dynasty rests upon two major pieces of
evidence. The first is the story of Herodotus, who in 443 B.C.
visited Egypt and recounted how Pharaoh Cheops (the Greek name for
Khufu) built the Great Pyramid during his reign with 100,000 men in
20 years. However, we now know this story is highly questionable.
Even his contemporaries called Herodotus the "Father of
Lies." Not only do the construction estimates he gave not work,
but Herodotus, as an Initiate in the Egyptian Mystery Schools, was
sworn to secrecy regarding the true nature of the Pyramid, and he
more than likely copied a fictitious tale about the monument that
was then in circulation among the common masses. The Greek historian’s
account stands in sharp contrast to most other Egyptian, Hebrew,
Greek, Roman, Hermetic, Coptic and medieval Arabic scholarly sources
which agree that the Great Pyramid was not constructed during the
time frame of Pharaoh Khufu or Dynastic Egypt, but was the product
of the "Age of the Gods" thousands of years earlier.
The second piece of evidence is the existence of painted
hieroglyphic inscriptions found in the air space chambers above the
King’s Chamber, which include the name of Pharaoh Khufu. They were
supposedly discovered by Col. Richard Howard-Vyse in 1837, when he
forced his way up to these chambers using gunpowder. But there are
certain facts showing these inscriptions were in actuality
forgeries.
[...]
Actually, we have the testament of Pharaoh Khufu himself that he
only did repair work on the Great Pyramid. The Inventory Stele,
found in 1857 by Auguste Mariette just to the east of the Pyramid,
dates to about 1500 B.C., but according to Maspero and other
experts, shows evidence of having been copied from a far older stele
contemporaneous with the Fourth Dynasty. In the Stele, Khufu himself
tells of his discoveries made while clearing away the sands from the
Pyramid and Sphinx. He dedicated the account to Isis, who he called
the "Mistress of the Western Mountain," "Mistress of
the Pyramid," and identified the Pyramid itself as the
"House of Isis."
The Stele describes how Pharaoh Khufu, "gave to her (Isis)
an offering anew, and he built again (to restore, renovate,
reconstruct) her temple of stone." From there, the Pharaoh
inspected the Sphinx, according to the text, and related the story
of how in his time both the monument and a nearby sycamore tree had
been struck by lightning. The bolt had knocked off part of the
headdress of the Sphinx, which Khufu carefully restored.
Egyptologist Selim Hassan, who dug out the Sphinx from the
surrounding sands in the 1930's, observed there is indeed evidence
that portions of the Sphinx were damaged by lightning, and the mark
of ancient repairs is very apparent. Also, he noted, sycamore trees
once grew to the south of the monument, which had been dated to a
great age.
The Stele then ends with the story of how Khufu built small
pyramids for himself and his daughters, wife and family, next to the
Great Pyramid. Today, the ruins of three small pyramids are indeed
situated on the east side of the monument. Archaeologists have found
independent evidence that the southernmost of the three small
pyramids flanking the Great Pyramid was in fact dedicated to
Henutsen, a wife of Khufu. Everything in the inscription thus
matches the known facts. If these facts can be believed as true,
then the additional information that Khufu was only a restorer of
the Great Pyramid and not its builder, must also be treated as
historically true.
ANCIENT LEGENDS AND MODERN RESEARCH CONFIRM EACH OTHER
When we look at mythic history for the story of the origins of
the Great Pyramid, we discover that the monument was not attributed
to any Pharaoh, but was the product of the genius and higher
learning of the Gods of Old. Time and time again, from the Roman
Marcellinus to the Coptic Al Masudi and the Arab Ibn Abd Alhokim,
the recounters of the ancient legends tell how the Pyramid was built
to preserve the knowledge of a magnificent civilization from
destruction by a Flood, and that it was this Flood which brought the
Age of the Gods to its tragic end. The various Chronologies of
Legendary Rulers place a minimum date for the Age of the Gods as
circa 10,000 B.C. This is the time frame Plato, in his Timaeus and
Critias, ascribed the destruction of Atlantis. And it is also this
date, as can be proven in modern scientific studies, which was
highlighted by major climatic, geologic and geomagnetic
disturbances, accompanied by massive paleo-biological extinctions in
the planet, marking the division point between the Ice Age and the
Present Era.
In Egypt, geologists examining the fossil record have found that
the combined effect of melting glaciers in the Mountains of the
Moon, plus a sharp rise in precipitation levels in Central Africa,
caused the Nile river circa 10,000 B.C. to swell in size a
thousandfold, eroding away cliff walls miles from its present banks,
and washing out its entire valley throughout the length of Egypt. At
the same time, as the Mediterranean Sea began to fill and rise due
to higher ocean levels from melting northern glaciers, its waters
for a brief period also flooded the lower Nile valley.

These,
geologists are certain, are the last major flood events in Egypt’s
fossil history, before the sea retreated and the Nile settled down
to today’s relatively peaceful, winding flow. Yet, knowing this,
geologists are hard pressed to explain why there existed a
fourteen-foot layer of silt sediment around the base of the Pyramid,
a layer which also contained many seashells, and the fossil of a sea
cow, all of which were dated by radiocarbon methods to 11,600 B.P.
(Before Present) plus or minus 300 years.
Legends and records likewise speak of the fact that, before the
Arabs removed the Pyramid’s outer casing stones, one could see
water marks on the stones halfway up the Pyramid’s height, in
about the 240-foot level, which would be 400 feet above the present
Nile level. The medieval Arab historian Al Biruni, writing in his
treatise The Chronology of Ancient Nations, noted: "The
Persians and the great mass of Magians relate that the inhabitants
of the west, when they were warned by their sages, constructed
buildings of the King and the Giza Pyramids. The traces of the water
of the Deluge and the effects of the waves are still visible on
these pyramids halfway up, above which the water did not rise."
Add to this the observation made when the Pyramid was first opened,
that incrustations of salt an inch thick were found inside. Most of
this salt is natural exudation from the chambered rock wall, but
chemical analysis also shows some of the salt has a mineral content
consistent with salt from the sea. Thus, during the prehistoric
Flood, when waters surrounded the Great Pyramid, the known and
unknown entrances leaked, allowing seawater into the interior, which
later evaporated and left the salts behind. The locations where the
salts are found are consistent with the monument having been
submerged half-way up its height.
If the floodings of 10,000 B.C. were the last major catastrophic
water events in Egypt, and the Pyramid exhibits signs of having been
subjected to them, it means the Pyramid must date from a period
before the flooding occurred.
Though most Egyptologists today have yet to accept such a
necessary "radical" revision of their dating of the
Pyramid, there have been other discoveries that have forced them to
at least realize that their preconceived theories of any early
Dynastic age for the structure is no longer tenable.
In 1983 and 1984, prehistorian Robert J. Wenke from the
University of Washington, and president of the American Research
Center in Egypt, was given permission to collect mortar samples from
various ancient construction sites, including the Great Pyramid and
the Sphinx Temple. The mortar contained particles of charcoal,
insect matter, pollen, and other organic materials which could be
subjected for carbon-14 dating analysis. Using two different
radiocarbon dating laboratories—the Institute for the Study of Man
at Southern Methodist University, and the Institute of Medium Energy
Physics in Zurich—the samples revealed a number of curiosities.
For the Great Pyramid samples, the tests performed at the two labs
initially gave very different clusterings of dates, off by several
thousands of years. When certain "adjustments" in the data
were applied, the resulting time frame narrowed to 3100 B.C. to 2850
B.C.—which is still 400 years earlier than when most Egyptologists
believe the Great Pyramid was built. Even more anomalous, the dates
obtained from mortar used near the top of the Pyramid were a
thousand years older than those obtained from mortar nearer the
Pyramid base. The researchers, if they were to fully believe these
findings, would have to propose that the Pyramid had somehow been
built from the top down.
What makes the datings further unacceptable is that all of them
were taken from areas of previously exposed surfaces. We know from
such sources as the Inventory Stele that the Giza monuments were
time and time again subjected to many reconstructions and repair
work, inside and out. Therefore the radiocarbon dates can only give
us clues as to when the time frame was for the repair work, not the
actual construction of the Great Pyramid. If the dates are to be
believed at all, they at least tell us that reconstruction work was
done on the monument in a time period long before the
"accepted" building was done, which means the Pyramid
itself must be from an even earlier period, farther distant in the
past.
WERE THE THREE GIZA PYRAMIDS MODELS FOR EGYPT’S "PYRAMID
AGE"?
Expanding our sphere of inquiry to now include all three of the
Giza Pyramids, we find that an interesting historical conundrum
arises regarding their "accepted" construction. If, as
conservative scholars surmise, the three Giza Pyramids were built in
the Fourth Dynasty by the succession of three Pharaohs—Khufu,
Khafre and Menkhare— what we find regarding the sizes of the three
pyramids in association with the three reigns is inconsistent with
what we would have expected to have happened.
First, Khufu ruled and supposedly constructed the Great Pyramid.
Khafre followed Khufu, and in order to be politically and
religiously "correct," we would have expected him to have
erected a pyramid larger than Khufu’s. To do otherwise would have
seriously reflected on his being inferior to his predecessor.
Generally speaking, a ruler could not afford for his people to think
that their Pharaoh was weaker in power and less blessed by the gods
and goddesses than the ruler before him.
After Khafre, Menkhare next took the throne of Egypt, and in
order to be in continued good political and religious form, we would
have expected him to build the largest pyramid of all, dwarfing
those of Khufu and Khafre in order to make sure he was not to be
outshone by either of his predecessors.
Yet what we find at Giza is exactly opposite the expected
scenario: Supposedly Khufu constructed the largest pyramid, Khafre
built his slightly smaller than Khufu’s, and Menkhare erected a
pyramid only a third the size of the other two.
If what actually happened contradicts what should have happened
if the three Giza pyramids were built in the Fourth Dynasty, then
this can only mean that something is fundamentally wrong with the
accepted scenario.
Instead of the three Pharaohs building the three Giza pyramids,
what if the pyramids were already present, old with age, and in the
Fourth Dynasty the three succeeding rulers simply claimed possession
of the structures, doing repair work on them, and building only the
minor subsidiary pyramids around them for themselves and their
families—just as the Inventory Stele describes Khufu did. What
would we expect would have happened?
Khufu, first on the scene, would naturally have laid claim to the
largest pyramid for himself, or the Great Pyramid. His successor,
Khafre, now left with only two pyramids to choose from, would have
taken possession of the second largest. Menkhare, the last to reign,
would have had to be content with the last pyramid available, the
smallest of the three.
Such a scenario best fits the actual facts, for this is exactly
the succession of pyramids the Pharaoh had jurisdiction over, each
in their turn. Clearly, what this suggests is the Giza pyramids came
first, then the Pharaohs ruled, not the other way around.
According to conservative scholars, the Giza Three were supposed
to represent the "height of accomplishment" in the
Egyptian age of pyramid building, from the Third to the Thirteenth
Dynasties, 2700 to 1800 B.C. But if the Giza Pyramids are in reality
12,000 years old, then they instead must have served as the models
the Dynastic Egyptians repeatedly tried to copy and emulate. If we
recognize this greater antiquity for the Giza Three, then many
mysteries surrounding the design and construction of Egypt’s other
pyramids find their solutions.
The conservative view purports that the early pyramids along the
Nile developed by stages of "evolution." Initially, in the
First and Second Dynasties, from circa 3200 to 2800 B.C., the
Pharaohs were buried in mastabas, which were rectangular-shaped
structures with walls sloping inward, built over underground vaults.
What has baffled archaeologists is that each of the first kings of
Egypt had not one but two such mastabas, at Abydos, and at Saqqara.
One of these served as a cenotaph, or an empty tomb in honor of the
royal person. The reason for this early practice is still a puzzle
to scholars, not yet solved.
However, we know from ancient records that the peoples of the
ancient world at one time had knowledge of the existence of the
known entrance to the Great Pyramid, and they left evidence, in the
form of torch soot and graffiti on the walls, that they penetrated
as far as the Descending Passage and Pit Chamber. The Second and
Third Pyramids also possess passages and empty chambers deep beneath
their foundations. Did the early Pharaohs, in studying the design of
the Giza Pyramids standing silently before them on the Nile, imitate
the empty Pyramid chambers in the building of their second royal
tombs, believing the empty chambers had a special spiritual
significance they wished to emulate?
In the Third Dynasty, beginning about 2780 B.C., Pharaoh Zoser
undertook to build a mastaba for himself as had his predecessors,
but then decided to go several steps further. Two more mastaba
structures were constructed on top of the first in step fashion, and
finally, these in turn were incorporated as one side of a six-tiered
pyramid. The development of this curious structure—today called
the Step Pyramid, and located at Saqqara—indicates that Zoser was
attempting to copy or duplicate a particular image. The pyramid does
resemble a Sumerian ziggurat, or "holy mountain," except
that unlike the ziggurat Zoser’s structure possessed no sanctuary
at its apex, and had a system of internal tunnels and chambers. The
only structures which come close to being models for Zoser’s work
are the Giza Pyramids.
Significantly—and again in imitation of the Giza monuments—Zoser
was not buried in his Step Pyramid. The foot of a mummy thought to
have belonged to Zoser was found in one chamber, but the wrappings
proved to be from a period much later than the Third Dynasty. All in
all, a total of sixty mummies were found in and around the Step
Pyramid, but these have been dated to the Saitic or Late Period, in
the first millennium B.C. Zoser’s tomb has been identified as
located at Bet Khalaif, and no pyramid structure was found
associated with it.
Following Zoser, his successor, Pharaoh Sekhemket, attempted to
build a pyramid, but it appears never to have been completed, and
today is only a mass of rubble. However, archaeologists did find at
the bottom of a shaft below the structure a sealed alabaster
sarcophagus. When the sarcophagus was opened, it was found to be
completely empty, mirroring the state the Stone Box was found in, in
the Great Pyramid.
The one ruler who by far was the most ambitious pyramid builder
of the Third Dynasty was Pharaoh Senefru. He constructed three
monuments, and there is every reason to believe he attempted to
duplicate the feat of the three Giza Pyramids. He came close, for
his pyramids contained two-thirds as much stone, covered 90 percent
as much area, and were built with comparable speed as the Giza
structures. The one obvious difference is their building design and
masonry were very crude, when examined alongside the work done in
the Giza area.
It is in the period immediately following Senefru, at the
beginning of the Fourth Dynasty, that we are supposed to believe
that Egyptian architects somehow miraculously overcame all their
construction shortcomings, and developed the quantum leap of
techniques for advanced building that went into the making of the
Giza Pyramids. But the Giza monuments, however, stand out above all
the rest of the pyramids in Egypt in many unique ways, clearly
showing they were not related to the other Egyptian pyramids in time
or construction.
First, only the Great Pyramid and (from what is known from legend
and esoteric literature) the other two Giza Pyramids have chambers
in their upper interior—all the rest possess only a lower chamber
or chambers near the foundation. These are copies of the pit
chambers in the Giza Pyramids. The Dynastic Egyptians, not knowing
of the secret chambers higher up, had no precedent for including
these in their own pyramids.
Second, only the Giza Three are accurately aligned to true north,
which is indicative of a very sophisticated science of Earth
measurement and construction—elements exhibited in no other
pyramid.
Third, only the Giza monuments were built with a high degree of
accuracy—this precision, coupled with the apparent mastery of
large, multi-ton stone construction, is what allowed the Giza
Pyramids to reach their gigantic size, the largest in Egypt. In the
Second and Third Pyramids the construction blocks are often not as
massive or as finely positioned as they are seen in the Great
Pyramid, but they are precise enough to place them in an entirely
different category from all other structures along the Nile.
Fourth, the Giza monuments were built using construction designs
totally alien to any other pyramid form. As William R. Fix, in
Pyramid Odyssey observed: "Because the other pyramids consist
of much smaller blocks, they were built as a series of shells with
multiple internal retaining walls to give cohesiveness. The three
large Giza Pyramids do not have these internal casings. The very
size of the blocks produces the necessary stability. This
characteristic reveals a general excellence of workmanship and also
imply a much higher technological capability than that employed
anywhere else..
And fifth, unlike any pyramid supposedly built either before or
after the Giza Three, none of the Giza monuments contain religious
symbols or pictures in any of their inner chambers.
According to conservative scholars, the Giza Pyramids were built
by the Fourth Dynasty Pharaohs Khufu, Khafre and Menkhare, as tombs.
Yet not one of their bodies was found in any of them. The King’s
Chamber in the Great Pyramid was discovered to be completely empty
upon its opening, its Stone Box sealed but vacant. In the Belzoni
Chamber, beneath the Second Pyramid, a stone box was found like the
one in the Great Pyramid, but it too contained no corpse. In 1878, a
sarcophagus with a mummy inside was brought to light in the Third
Pyramid. Though both the sarcophagus and mummy were lost at sea
during their transport to the British Museum, samples had been taken
from them, and when later analyzed by radiocarbon dating techniques,
they were found to be from a fairly late date, only 2,000 to 2,500
years ago.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that the three Pharaohs who
are thought to have built the Giza Pyramids instead simply claimed
the monuments as their own, having given up on the idea of
attempting to duplicate the structures, as Senefru had tried but
failed to do before them. There are several subsidiary pyramids
around the Giza Three which were probably built by the Pharaohs, and
today are almost in total ruins because of their greatly inferior
construction. According to ancient stelae and legends, the Pharaohs
also made repairs on the Pyramids—but had nothing to do with their
actual construction.
With Menkhare came the end of the Fourth Dynasty, and at the
beginning of the Fifth Dynasty we are supposed to believe, according
to the historians, that the Egyptians suddenly reverted back to the
same old methods of design and greatly inferior construction
techniques as seen in the pyramids prior to the Fourth Dynasty. The
first Pharaoh, Shepeskaf, actually built nothing more than a mastaba
for his burial place. He was then followed by Userkaf, whose pyramid
was so badly made it today is only a heap of debris. Sahure,
Nieswerre and Neferirkare came next, and between them at Abu Sir
they attempted to erect three pyramids (again duplicating Giza), but
these in no way approached the size or grandeur of the Giza Three,
and today are nothing more than broken piles. The same can be said
for the monuments of the Sixth through the Thirteenth Dynasties,
after which pyramid building for the most part came to an end. In
all, 23 major pyramids were erected following the Fourth Dynasty and
in each single case, the work on them was done hastily, with little
care of precision, and using blocks that were no more than roughly
squared boulders. We may well ask, if the Giza Pyramids, in all
their excellence, were supposedly built in the Fourth Dynasty, what
happened to the advanced knowledge seen in their design and
construction—why was it never used again, in not a single later
pyramid?
Author William R. Fix concluded: "The many fundamental
differences between the major Giza monuments and the rest of Egypt’s
pyramids indicates that they do not fit into the contended
chronology for dynastic Egypt. But if they do not belong to dynastic
Egypt, there is only one direction in which they can be moved-not
forward, but back into the past."
In truth, the Giza Pyramids were not an integral part of the
evolutionary development of the Egyptian pyramids. Instead, they
were there from the very beginning, the motivation and influence
which spurred the building of the Dynastic pyramids along the Nile.

Edgar Cayce - Great Pyramid and Sphinx
Reading from 1932

READING 5748-6.
This Reading given by Edgar Cayce July 1st 1932.
1. EC: Much has been written respecting that represented in the
Great Pyramid, and the record that may be read by those who would
seek to know more concerning the relationships that have existed,
that may exist, that do exist, between those of the Creative Forces
that are manifest in the material world. As indicated, there were
periods when a much closer relationship existed, or rather should it
be said, there was a much better understanding OF the relationship
that EXISTS between the creature and the Creator.
2. In those conditions that are signified in the way through the
pyramid, as of periods through which the world has passed and is
passing, as related to the religious or the spiritual experiences of
man - the period of the present is represented by the low passage or
depression showing a downward tendency, as indicated by the
variations in the character of stone used. This might be termed in
the present as the Cruciatarian Age, or that in which preparations
are being made for the beginning of a new sub-race, or a change,
which - as indicated from the astronomical or numerical conditions -
dates from the latter portion or middle portion of the present fall
[1932]. In October there will be a period in which the benevolent
influences of Jupiter and Uranus will be stronger, which - from an
astrological viewpoint - will bring a greater interest in occult or
mystic influences.
3. At the correct time accurate imaginary lines can be drawn from
the opening of the great Pyramid to the second star in the Great
Dipper, called Polaris or the North Star. This indicates it is the
system toward which the soul takes it flight after having completed
its sojourn through this solar system. In October there will be seen
the first variation in the position of the polar star in relation to
the lines from the Great Pyramid. The dipper is gradually changing,
and when this change becomes noticeable - as might be calculated
from the Pyramid - there will be the beginning of the change in the
races. There will come a greater influx of souls from the Atlantean,
Lemurian, La, Ur or Da civilizations. These conditions are indicated
in this turn in the journey through the pyramid. 4. How was this
begun? Who was given that this should be a record of man's
experiences in this root race? for that is the period covered by the
prophecies in the pyramid. This was given to Ra and Hermes in that
period during the reign of Araaraart when there were many who sought
to bring to man a better understanding of the close relationship
between the Creative Forces and that created, between man and man,
and man and his Maker.
5. Only those who have been called may truly understand. Who then
has been called? Whosoever will make himself a channel may be raised
to that of a blessing that is all that entity-body is able to
comprehend. Who, having his whole measure full, would desire more
does so to his own undoing.
6. (Q) What are the correct interpretations of the indications in
the Great Pyramid regarding the time when the present depression
will end?
(A) The changes as indicated and outlined are for the latter part of
the present year [1932]. As far as depression is concerned, this is
not - as in the minds of many - because fear has arisen, but rather
that, when fear has arisen in the hearts of the created, SIN lieth
at the door. Then, the change will occur - or that seeking will make
the definite change - in the latter portion of the present year. Not
that times financially will be better, but the minds of the people
will be fitted to the conditions better.
7. (Q) What was the date of the actual beginning and ending of
the construction of the Great Pyramid?
(A) Was one hundred years in construction. Begun and completed in
the period of Araaraart's time, with Hermes and Ra.
8. (Q) What was the date B.C. of that period?
(A) 10,490 to 10,390 before the Prince entered into Egypt.
9. (Q) What definite details are indicated as to what will happen
after we enter the period of the King's Chamber?
(A) When the bridegroom is at hand, all do rejoice. When we enter
that understanding of being in the King's presence, with that of the
mental seeking, the joy, the buoyancy, the new understanding, the
new life, through the period.
10. (Q) What is the significance of the empty sarcophagus?
(A) That there will be no more death. Don't misunderstand or
misinterpret! but the INTERPRETATION of death will be made plain.
11. (Q) If the Armageddon is foretold in the Great Pyramid,
please give a description of it and the date of its beginning and
ending.
(A) Not in what is left there. It will be as a thousand years, with
the fighting in the air, and - as has been - between those returning
to and those leaving the earth.
12. (Q) What will be the type and extent of the upheaval in '36?
(A) The wars, the upheavals in the interior of the earth, and the
shifting of same by the differentiation in the axis as respecting
the positions from the Polaris center.
13. (Q) Is there not a verse of scripture in Isaiah mentioning
the rock on which the great pyramid is builded?
(A) Not as we find; rather the rock on which John VIEWED the New
Jerusalem - that is, as of the entering in the King's Chamber in the
Pyramid.
14. (Q) What is the date, as recorded by the Pyramid, of entering
in the King's Chamber?
(A) '38 to '58.
15. (Q) If the Passion of Jesus is recorded in the Great Pyramid,
please give the date according to our present system of recording
time?
(A) This has already been presented in a fair and equitable manner
through those students of same, and these descriptions have been
presented as to their authenticity.
16. (Q) How was this particular Great Pyramid of Gizeh built?
(A) By the use of those forces in nature as make for iron to swim.
Stone floats in the air in the same manner. This will be discovered
in '58.
17. (Q) What is the significance of the character of the figure
of the Sphinx, mentioned above?
(A) In this particular period of Araaraart and of the priest (that
began those understandings - and passed through those of the hell in
the misinterpretation of same), there was even then the seeking
through those channels that are today called archaeological
research.
In those periods when the first change had come in the position
of the land, there had been an egress of peoples - or THINGS, as
would be called today - from the Atlantean land, when the Nile (of
Nole, then) emptied into what is now the Atlantic Ocean, on the
Congo end of the country. What is now as the Sahara was a fertile
land, a city that was builded in the edge of the land, a city of
those that worshipped the sun - for the use of its rays were used
for supplying from the elements that which is required in the
present to be grown through a season; or the abilities to use both
those of introgression and retrogression - and mostly retrograded,
as we are in the present.
The beginnings of these mounds were as an interpretation of that
which was crustating in the land. (See, most of the people had tails
then!) In those beginnings these were left. When there was the
entrance of Arart and Araaraart, they begin to build upon those
mounds which were discovered through research. With the storehouse,
or record house (where the records are still to be uncovered), there
is a chamber or passage from the right forepaw to this entrance of
the record chamber, or record tomb. This may not be entered without
an understanding, for those that were left as guards may NOT be
passed until after a period of their regeneration in the Mount, or
the fifth root race begins. In the building of the pyramid, and that
which is now called the Mystery of Mysteries [the Sphinx], this was
intended to be a MEMORIAL - as would be termed today - to that
counsellor who ruled or governed, or who acted in the capacity of
the director in the MATERIAL things in the land.
With the return of the priest (as it had been stopped), this was
later - by Isis, the queen, or the daughter of Ra - turned so as to
present to those peoples in that land the relationships of man and
the animal or carnal world with those changes that fade or fall away
in their various effect. These may be seen in a different manner
presented in many of the various sphinxes, as called, in other
portions of the land - as the lion with the man, the various forms
of wing, or characterizations in their various developments. These
were as presentations of those projections that had been handed down
in their various developments of that which becomes man - as in the
present.
