#pyramids

The world has always been asking, “who built the great pyramids of Egypt.” Most people believe it was the Egyptians, however, there is some debate on when the actual pyramids were built. Some archaeologists say after carbon dating it seems to be around 7,000-10,000 years ago. However, other debate this and say that they are only a few thousand years old and Egyptians only came around about 3,000 years ago, so it couldn’t be older then that.What if the Egyptians did build some of the smaller ones, but not the great pyramid. What if they found it and decided to use them and construct more. Which then confused scientists after so many years. This might be why we see three great large pyramids next to three small ones which don’t seem as magnificent next to the great ones.  So the question is… who built them first? Before the skeptics begin to roll their eyes, lets look into history. In Genesis it is said that the Giants (Nephilim) are ”sons of God” and the “daughters of men.” The most memorial story of course is the Giant Goliath who fights David.  Also found in Egypt are drawings of smaller humans fighting against larger humans. Almost every culture has names or drawings of Giants from different eras in history.

Here is a comment from user tollan23 who is an actual archaeologist:“I’m an archaeologist (who has worked at the pyramids) and I have to admit that we’re all admitted into a secret society where we’re told to hide the secrets of the giants from all, under threat of death. Now that I have let you all know the truth my life is in danger. At least the truth is out there now but I will live the rest of my life in hiding.”On his youtube account he has a number of archaeology videos at the site of Bu Maher Fort, Bahrain.Gery Nelson has a wonderful and great article on this subject with references and pictures. In his article Nelson says:“I have tried to keep this within the realm of my own experiences. 

There is so much more to this. Like the 64 pound sledge hammer found in a 3500 year old copper mine near the town of Llandudno in North Wales. Giant axes unearthed in Iran, Giant swords, etc.You could read for weeks on the subject of giants and if your mind is anything like mine enjoy every minute of it. I would suggest googeling Solomon Island giants, red haired giants, Arizona giants, California giants, Ohio giants, Peruvian giants.”A few years ago I would have never believed that Giant built the pyramids, thought it was absurd. However, in recent years I have found that the actual truth, maybe stranger then fiction.According to Author Brad Steiger, who has written over 168 books with over 17 million copies in print. He says in his book “World’s Before Our Own,”“There have been excavations in the United States that have produced the remains of primitive men and women over seven feet tall; hominids with horns; giants with double rows of teeth; prehistoric people with sharply slanting foreheads and fanged jaws…In July 1895, a party of miners working near Bridal Veil Falls, California, found the tomb of woman whose skeletal remains were six-feet-eight inches in length.”So what happen to these giants? Why don’t we see anymore today? One theory could be that they died during the great flood, caught diseases or even mated with normal humans, which could explain gigantism syndrome.

 Also just recently published, but taken in 1988 on the German website BILD.De, are photos taken by Gregor Spörri. Translated from the article is reads:“In 1988, on the last day of his private investigation trip, he contacted an old man from a grave robber dynasty. The meeting was took place in a farm-house in Bir Hooker, 100 kilometers northeast of Cairo.After paying, $ 300 Spörri had a look at the grave robber unsold treasure. Wrapped in old rags was the bone and dermis.Spörri told BILD.de: “It was an oblong package, smelled musty. I was totally flabbergasted when I saw the dark brown giant finger.I was allowed to take it in hand and also to take pictures; a bill was put next to it to get a size comparison. “The bent finger was split open and covered with dried mold.”It was surprisingly easy, maybe a few hundred grams My heart was up to his neck. That was incredible. In size to a matching body should have been about 15 feet tall”The grave robber also showed the Swiss certificate of authenticity and an X-ray image. Both are from the 60s.”

The question is, why would Governments around the world hide this from the people? To answer this question I turn to Darwin, which takes you to a dead end if you follow this path. Right now scientists are trying to make the world believe we descended from apes, however, Giants were never part of that theory.  Add Giants to the mix and what is of Darwin?  If the world knew Giants existed and built the pyramids, (which would explain how huge heavy stones were transported 100′s of miles away. And would also display who actually built Stonehenge) then all kinds of questions would arise, like:  Where did they come from? Did we descend from Giants?  Does Darwin’s actually stand for anything? Have we been here for actually millions of years but not know? What else did they build? Stonehenge? Easter Island? Were they part of Atlantis?The human mind would become so curious that we would then be asking the Governments of the world: “What else are you hiding from us? 

Call them “Pyramaids” and wait for the feminine chambers to reveal & open their secret gates

I’m in Cairo, Egypt and I’ll be here for the next four days, and next week for four days, then four more the week after that, and so on and so forth for 12 weeks.  With so much time you must be making mental lists of all of the things I can do and see: pyramids, Egyptian Museum, Sphinx, the Library at Alexandria, Luxor, etc.  However, I’ll be lucky if I see two or three of them!  That’s because, I’m here on business.  Business travel in many ways is a black hole of all things touristy.  Sure, you get to go to restaurants, you see the city a bit as you are driven from client site to office to hotel to the airport, but, especially in my industry where 12-16 hour days are common, there isn’t much time to take in the sites.  

Now don’t get me wrong- it would naive to think that experiencing a place is only possible through it’s tourist sites, in fact it would be sad to think that.  When I travel on my own accord I usually like to sit at cafes and watch the city go by, go to look out points and get a bird’s eye view, or walk around a local neighborhood- I like to get the feel for a place.  Learning it’s history in a museum and seeing a place in person that I’ve already seen a thousand times in photos are mainly complementary to that feeling, but similarly beneficial to the time spent somewhere. In business travel you do get some of that- you see the people, feel their attitudes, but you don’t feel ‘among’ them.  You’re there for a reason- for business, not for the location.

It’s a strange and somewhat obscure distinction, but strong in its own way.  I feel odd to be in Cairo and not see the pyramids- it changes the idea of being 'in’ a city. For all intents and purposes, I could be anywhere right now, at any nice hotel, in any posh office.  Sure, the menu changes, the bills have different colors and names, and people look / dress a little different- but I feel like my recent wanderings (in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and now Egypt) have been so separate from the travel I’m used to.

It isn’t the same travel to learn and see new things, it’s more utilitarian than that- there is a purpose, a client to see, it isn’t the atmosphere that needs to be thought through, it is a problem and the recommended answer my team will give. I’m not saying it is bad, just different-  I have nothing to complain about, in fact I love this life- I just took a bath in a huge tub while drinking a glass of wine and watching a huge TV- and I’m not paying for any of it.  

What I am saying, is that the joys I look for in trips like this are altered from the ones I’ve become accustomed to when meandering around the globe.  My definition of 'traveling’ has been expanded, and with it, the means, goals, and insights that accompany it as well.  

In the end, I’m aware and happy that one doesn’t replace the other- on weekends I do have time to see some sites (if I stay here and don’t go home to Abu Dhabi) and I think I’ll see the pyramids this Thursday.  But when Sunday comes, it will be back in the office- back to work- back to experiencing Egypt the business way.

You may know that a pyramid has 4 faces ( excluding the base). You would expect the same when you look at the great pyramid of Giza. But, as a matter of fact, the great pyramid has 8 faces.

In his book The Egyptian Pyramids: A Comprehensive, Illustrated Reference, J.P. Lepre wrote:

One very unusual feature of the Great Pyramid is a concavity of the core that makes the monument an eight-sided figure, rather than four-sided like every other Egyptian pyramid. That is to say, that its four sides are hollowed in or indented along their central lines, from base to peak. This concavity divides each of the apparent four sides in half, creating a very special and unusual eight-sided pyramid; and it is executed to such an extraordinary degree of precision as to enter the realm of the uncanny. For, viewed from any ground position or distance, this concavity is quite invisible to the naked eye. The hollowing-in can be noticed only from the air, and only at certain times of the day. This explains why virtually every available photograph of the Great Pyramid does not show the hollowing-in phenomenon, and why the concavity was never discovered until the age of aviation. It was discovered quite by accident in 1940, when a British Air Force pilot, P. Groves, was flying over the pyramid. He happened to notice the concavity and captured it in the now-famous photograph.

This strange feature was not first observed in 1940. It was illustrated in La Description de l'Egypte in the late 1700’s (Volume V, pl. 8). Flinders Petrie noticed a hollowing in the core masonry in the center of each face and wrote that he “continually observed that the courses of the core had dips of as much as ½° to 1°” (The Pyramids and Temples of Gizeh, 1883, p. 421). Though it is apparently more easily observed from the air, the concavity is measurable and is visible from the ground under favorable lighting conditions.
