Text Chapter 1383 The Great Pyramid

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    To this day, we humans have the most modern technology and the most advanced equipment, but it is difficult to replicate such a miracle.

    In the ancient Egyptian period, there were neither dump trucks nor cranes, nor steel cable cars nor cranes, nor even an iron tool - something as simple as a pulley .

    The ancient Egyptians didn't have any of this, they just used stone to build the pyramids.

    On the desert, the precise arrangement of the stones puzzled everyone.  What is even more confusing is not the method they used to build these pyramids, but why they built these pyramids?

    You know, before this, the Egyptians had never built a pyramid.

    So, why are they building these pyramids at this moment?  Why were these pyramids built so big and intricate?  Why should these pyramids be built dotted in the desert instead of being concentrated in one place?

    Modern Egyptology has failed to provide a convincing answer.

    No matter which textbook you pick up on this subject, the explanations you get are the same: the pyramids are the tombs of the pharaohs.

    However, if it was just a mausoleum, then digging a simple pit in the ground would be enough. Why did the ancient Egyptians build it to a height of 147 meters?

    Why is it necessary to build a morgue at such a huge cost?  Even considering that the Pharaoh was an absolute monarch, and considering that he was regarded as a god by the ancient Egyptians, it seems that too much time and too much energy was wasted.

    The common image of the slaves who completed this arduous task in building the pyramids is also a mystery.  There is little evidence to suggest that.  Slaves were forced into this difficult undertaking.

    ¡°And, if there is any evidence, it proves exactly the opposite.

    The actual situation is.  While Europeans were still in an uncivilized state, the Egyptians were already highly civilized.  They were very religious, and there are many facts that suggest to us that the reason why the Egyptians built the pyramids was not so much to show off the power of the deceased Pharaoh, but to confirm a religious belief.

    ¡°However, Egyptians tend to be extremely conservative.  There are always a few believers who try to hide the secrets within the religion.  It was these few believers who guided the ancient Egyptians to build the pyramids.  It is not surprising that we moderns are ignorant of the purpose for which the pyramids were built.

    In fact, these unique pyramids, especially the Great Pyramid of Giza.  There are many unknown secrets hidden there.  The Great Pyramid of Giza has stood unscathed for thousands of years.

    Until 820 AD.  Under the orders of 'Caliph' Al Mamoun, the son of Harun Al-Rashid, the legendary fifth 'Caliph' of the Arab Abbasid dynasty, a group of Arab workers broke in for the first time.

    They dug a tunnel through the hard limestone. After several weeks, they finally opened a dark tunnel.  Exploring further along this corridor, they found three tomb chambers.

    What is very frustrating is that these tombs are all empty.  In this so-called king's tomb, Arab workers found only a granite sarcophagus without a lid.

    ??And the strange thing is.  The ancient Egyptians themselves remained unusually silent about the pyramids.  Tutankhamen period, around 1300 BC.  The Great Pyramid of Giza has existed for more than 1,000 years.

    Who built this pyramid?  Why was this pyramid built?

    The answer has been lost in people's memory. The Greeks and Romans, who were the occupiers of Egypt from the 4th century BC to the 7th century AD, were not interested in these ruins.

    In the 5th century BC, the ancient Greek historian Herodotus stayed in Egypt for a period of time. He traced the origin and purpose of these ruins in his famous book "History".  This is the first-hand account we currently know of describing the pyramids.

    ¡°However, this information is mixed with personal biases and local myths and legends.

    It was not until the 7th century AD, when the Arabs invaded Egypt, that efforts to explore the mystery of the pyramids really began. The mystery of the Great Pyramid has always fascinated explorers. It is more powerful than any other building in history.  striking.

    For hundreds of years, people have been speculating on its secrets, thinking that there must be a hidden tomb somewhere in it, and that one day they will find this tomb.

    Generations of Egyptologists, as well as many amateurs, have been searching hard, using all available means, from radiography to x-rays, but no one has achieved their goal.

    On March 22, 1993, the international media broke the exciting news that the little-known German Rudolf Guntenbrink had obtainedIn the most important archaeological discovery of 20 years, he found a way to improve the ventilation of the Great Pyramid.

    Gantenbrink is a remote-controlled mechanical device engineer at the German Archaeological Institute in Cairo. He sent a small remote-controlled robot Uppwat 2 to the top of the south passage of the Queen's Tomb.

    When advancing to about 65 meters, Upwat 2 stopped and sent back a photo of what appeared to be a small door, revealing an interesting gap at the bottom of the door.

    There is a small door, which means there may be something behind.  Perhaps, behind that door is a tomb.  If the tomb really exists, then whatever the ancient Egyptians put in the tomb has not been invaded for at least 4,400 years and must be there now.

    Since the pyramid was built, the passages at both ends have been closed and have never been stolen.

    And since the pyramid builders took great pains to hide the tomb, its importance is self-evident, and it may be more important than the dead pharaoh.

    And this just hints at our original motivation for building the pyramid: this is the real religious center

    Rudolf Guntenbrink, the German, is not the only one interested in the passage.  For several years, scientists have also been studying these channels and studying their relationship to astronomical orientations.

    It¡¯s really a bizarre coincidence.  Just days before Upwat 2 begins its historic journey, experts and Adrian Gilbert have been taking photos in the Queen's Chamber and the South Passage.  By the time the experts met Rudolph and his team members, they had already made final arrangements for further research.

    Experts and Adrian are even more interested: What are the functions of these channels?

    Now.  It has become abundantly clear that ventilation is not the primary function of these passages.  The direction they lead to is the most important, that is, they all face the special star field that the ancient Egyptians considered very important.

    However, experts believe that the data for the angle of one of the channels is not accurate enough, so they hope that Guntenbrink can provide a more accurate number for research through laser measurement.  In order to check the astronomical target towards which this channel is directed.

    Over the years, someone has been studying a lost religion-the ancient religion of the pyramid builders.

    The front page of London's "New York Times" published Guntenbrink's discovery, which shocked the world.  Invited by archeology journalists.  As Rudolf's spokesman in England, experts interpreted the passage's religious significance.

    The south passage of the king's tomb points to Orion's belt, which is associated with the god Osiris; the south passage of the queen's tomb points to Sirius.  Star of the goddess Isis.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????? This arrangement is no accident. It is closely related to the purpose of building the pyramid.

    Since standard textbooks always supported the "solar hypothesis", the academic community launched the first worldwide debate on star religions related to the pyramids.

    Dr. Edwards, the world's authority on pyramid research, said in a program on Channel 4: According to our speculation, behind this door, there is most likely a statue of a pharaoh staring in the direction of Orion.

    The Daily Mail, published the next day, quoted him as follows: "The reason why these passages are regarded as ventilation by us is because no one knows better They point to Orion. Point to Osi  The god Lys.¡±

    The Great Pyramid of Giza, are there any other secrets related to the stars in Orion?

    ? ?Examinations conducted by Uppwat 2.  Confirming previous predictions, the exact angle of the channel was exactly matched.  This ultimately proves the fact that there was a master plan when the pyramids were built.

    Although this plan is very simple, it is of extraordinary significance for us modern people to understand the pyramids and the era in which they lived.

    For thousands of years, the sky has been the driving force for human scientific exploration and the place where humankind¡¯s hopes and dreams for tomorrow lie. Carving one¡¯s own hopes and dreams on stone is as fully demonstrated by the oldest Egyptian tombs.  The original imagination of mankind.

    However, most people¡¯s understanding of the sky now is that many people can only find the Big Dipper.

    There is a tribe called Dogon in Africa, which holds a ceremony called "Xigui" every 60 years.  In this ceremony, the sacrificer wears a mask and performs a complex dance.

    This is obviously a resurrection ritual, derived from the well-known natural phenomenon of Sirius rising and setting with the sun.  Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky, located in the Canis Major constellation below Orion.

    "The Mystery of Sirius" written by Robert Temple describes a lot of content. Temple's so-called SiriusThe mystery of the stars was discovered from an article written in the 1950s by two French anthropologists, M. Gregor and G. Deirdrin.

    They took the Dogon tribe as a research object and unexpectedly discovered that the Dogon people possess knowledge about Sirius and the invisible white dwarf star Sirius b.  Robert Temple is an American living in the United Kingdom, a member of the Royal Astronomical Society, and a graduate student in Oriental studies and Sanskrit studies.

    In the early 1960s, he accidentally discovered this achievement of the Dogon people and was deeply puzzled that they knew the existence of Sirius b, because it could only be seen with a high-power telescope.

    Astronomer Irving Lindenblood spent a lot of effort to take the first photo of Sirius b in 1970.  To this day, most people still know nothing about Sirius B, and only a few people know about Sirius A.

    So, how did the Dogon people know accurate information about Sirius b as early as the 1950s?

    What is even more suspicious is that the Dogon people seem to have recorded the knowledge related to this star through some means and preserved it in the form of religious masks.

    Some of these masks are stored in caves.  Experienced hundreds of years of history.  Their connection with this little star is surprising: where does this knowledge come from?

    Temple believes that the Dogon knowledge clearly does not come from modern astronomy.  They are heirlooms, likely passed down before they moved to their current home of Mali, south of the Sahara Desert.

    In ancient Egypt, people regarded Sirius as a star in the sky as important as their beloved goddess Isis.  Initially, Temple indirectly studied the articles of French anthropologists, which turned his focus from the indifferent African tribes to the fascinating ancient Egypt.

    Although the book¡¯s many myths about the Near East still deserve scrutiny.  But Temple did reveal a mystery worthy of further investigation.  If the Dogon people inherited knowledge about Sirius b from the ancient Egyptians, then what else do they know about these stars?

    Except for the sun god Ra.  The Egyptians did not worship the stars that much; we now also know that during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten around 1350 BC, Egypt had a religious doctrine about the god Aten, who symbolized the sun disk.

    When studying "The Mystery of Sirius", many scholars still knew nothing about the ancient star religion.  This was originally an interesting subject.  It is also an important area for understanding the heavenly religion of the ancient Egyptians.  At the same time, it is a research field that has been ignored by people.

    Since it is a mysterious knowledge that can only be possessed by the highest priests, almost no records have been left.  The Egyptians were probably the greatest astronomers of antiquity, yet they were very different from the Greeks and Romans in that much of their knowledge was possessed only by a religious minority.  And there are many secrets related to the stars.

    Without the Nile, the longest river in the world, Egypt might just be an extension of the Sahara Desert.

    This artery originates from the heart of Africa and is formed by the fusion of Lake Tana in Ethiopia, Lake Albert and Lake Victoria in Uganda.

    It was it that brought life to Sudan and Egypt.  and other equally hot areas.  Viewed from the air, this artery looks like a giant python.  The river flows slowly and silently north to the cool Mediterranean Sea, which forms a strange contrast with the scorching desert on both sides of the river.

    The Egyptians had every reason to worship the Nile River, which they regarded as the incarnation of the gods.  Just like the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins in China, it is the mother river.

    Because Egypt has very little rainfall, the Nile River has become their only stable source of fresh water. To a large extent, their lives depend on the ebb and flow of the Nile River.

    The most important event in the Egyptian almanac is the annual summer floods caused by the melting of snow in the Ethiopian mountains.  The floods of the Nile River irrigated large areas of land on both sides of the river, accumulating endless black and oily alluvial soil, forming the most fertile soil in Africa.

    In this fertile land, the Egyptians could harvest several crops every year.  In fact, Egypt's fertile soil was, and still is, a gift from the Nile.

    Geographically speaking, except for a few desert oases, the habitable land of Egypt is divided into two distinct areas: one is a narrow valley formed by the Nile River meandering through canyons and deserts, and the other is the Nile River and the Mediterranean Sea.  The intersection of flat deltas.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The land of Upper Egypt is fertile, and its river valley is a strip of approximately 965 kilometers long and 4.8 kilometers wide.

    Although it is enough to feed the local residents, agriculture is only a part of their way of life.As one component, the Nile linked Lower Egypt to Black Africa, forming an important trade route.

    The cities of Upper Egypt naturally became important trading posts on both sides of the passage, where people were engaged in the trade of ivory, gems, wood, spices and slaves.

    These trades, along with agriculture, created a wealthy Upper Egypt.  In contrast, Lower Egypt is a flat siltation plain with backwater irrigation throughout the year, making it the most suitable land for farming in the world.

    In the past, the swamp land was transformed into farmland by the Egyptians, and the wide jujube coconut woods and brown forests.  Crops flourished under the shade of the trees, and there was enough wheat and grain for people and livestock to eat, making Lower Egypt one of the most grain-producing barns in the world in ancient times.

    The two distinct kingdoms of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt were created by the natural division of the land.  The capital of Upper Egypt was Nicobus, near Hierakonpolis, blessed by the vulture goddess Nekhbet.

    The capital of Lower Egypt was later called Buto's Pi by the Greeks, a delta city protected by the snake goddess Edcho.

    Nothing is known about how the two kingdoms were united in predynastic times.  Egyptologists believe that in about 3100 BC, the powerful king of Upper Egypt, Menes, known as the "Scorpio King", unified Lower Egypt, founded the First Dynasty, and declared himself to be the unified king of Egypt.

    Although the Egyptians believe that they have a very ancient civilization that can be traced back to the golden age of Upper and Lower Egypt ruled by gods, people usually date the founding of the First Dynasty by Menes as the beginning of Egyptian history and consider the personification of  God, Osiris was the first oracle pharaoh.

    However, what people will never forget is that Egypt was indeed two kingdoms.  This pharaoh is always called the "King of the Two Kingdoms" or the "King of Upper and Lower Egypt" by the Egyptians.

    They therefore chose Edcho and Nekhbet as their patron goddesses, and often wore red and white crowns on their heads to symbolize their rule over Upper and Lower Egypt.  Red represents Lower Egypt and white represents Upper Egypt.  (To be continued.)
