i don't post many new topics myself, but this I had to "share". It is a scan from the book "Fingerprints of the Gods" by Graham Hancock, 1995.

This is a schematic diagram of the Kings chamber in the great pyramid of Egypt:

Now, what Graham says is that the Egyptians knew pi based on the fact that the height of the main pyramid times 2pi equals the perimter. Well, I think this picture is even more amazing! This room was built a third of the way up in the middle of the pyramid, at a point where the area of the square equaled half the are of the base square. This pic represent the Egyptians understanding "basic" geometry - that we learnt two thousand years ago, but built exactly into a HUGE PYRAMID!

It just boggles my mind, and I had to share, or I'd go crazy...

... and this is the King's Chamber itself:

"A very accurate approximation of Pi is obtained from the double square. The diagonal of such rectangle is a sgr(5), and the sum of the sides of rectangular triangle give very close number to Pi (a = 0.6):"

However, the reason the above picture broke the camel's back for me, is that this room is surounded in 6 million tons of finely cut limestone and represents a value that means very little really. 1.618 is the value of phi - as mentioned in the pic, it was the limiting value in the fibinacci sequence, but also "..obtained schematically by dividing a line A-B at a point C in such a way that the whole line A-B was longer than the first part, A-C, in the same proportion as the first part, A-C, was longer than the remainder, C-B"! I just think this is amazing! Not to mention 16.18 is the height of the Kings chamber plus half the width (which is half the length as Ra pointed out), BUT, it is also 1.618 * the width! This keeps spiraling my thoughts, as I think it represents infinity - 10 * 1.618 = 16.18 so 10 = A-C and A-B (16.18) is the same proportion greater than A-C is greater that B-C would be (in this case 6.18) - which consequently if mulitplied by 1.618 equals 10!!!! The width of the King's Chamber ... Does anyone get me? Isn't it AMAZING!!!

That book I mentioned has all similar information like you posted. You should really try and get that book, I know you'll love it!

Hey you guys that know about this stuff... where'd you go? Just 'cuz we're not posting doesn't mean we're not consuming every word

Now these allignments are for 2500 BC (an awesome article I just found is at http://www.kolumbus.fi/lea.tedder/OKAD/sky2475.htm ). But for several reasons, the Sphinx must've been built 8000 years prior to this. I'ev always been wondering when the pyramid was built as it would seem sensible to be at the time of the sphinx. However, there doesn't seem to be any real relation. BTW, did you know the sphinx was built in the age of Leo? At sunrise it would've watched Leo rise above the horizon. I think that was also mentioned in this book. Anyhow the blocks used for the sphinx were also amazing as Mentioned in "Fingerprints of the Gods". The blocks taken from the Sphinx were moved about 100 metres away to build a complex. This Complex was formed of 200 ton blocks! There is apparantly only two machines in today's world capable of moving blocks of this magnitude. But of course, my guide skipped this when we were there. There are many interesting things to learn about Egypt out there. I just thought, as I said, phi broke the camels back for me.

What do you think was the capstone on the top of the great PyRaMid?

I think a crystal goes on the top of the pyramid, and I think it was stolen and is now hidden somewhere. Perhaps this crystal is in the ocean floor of Atlantis, near the Bermuda Triangle..............perhaps this crystal contains much power.

If anyone is curious why I type PyRaMid, it is because I believe that the word taken apart, means;

Py - the entire structure of the pyramid was designed on the basis of pi, 3.14159, the mathematical ratio upon which the whole physical universe was designed and the value of y, 365.242, the number of days in the Earth's solar year. (the time interval in days between two successive vernal equinoxes in the earth's journey around the sun).

Ra - Ra, the Sun God

Mid - the Great Pyramid was placed in the exact center (middle) of all the land area of the world.

I real-eyes'd this many years ago, I took apart this word like this.

Paras, I have that book too

The 2 books I have the Great Pyramid Decoded, and Secrets of the Great Pyramid were my father's books. He passed away 14 years ago and I aquired his books. Can you beleive, when I was a youngster, I had no interest in all of this, and he did then, and now I DO!!!!!!!! If only we could talk now about it!!! How cool!

Um, I got an error

I find this a funny error message as it basically says "either don't ask for this, or move to America". So anyway, I'll prolly find it around here.

Yes, the "Egyptians" really were marvelous. The reason I keep using " or the question mark in the title, is because I don't know what they did, or whether their were peopl before them. I totally understand if they inherited their beliefs, but they still made awesome tempels etc. I just question the Necropolis. And the pyramids at Dashour for that matter. The "unacknowledged" pyramids. Closed of to everyone. You can still see them from the Saqqara pyramid, but no one's really allowed in them. It's interesting that they seem extremely boring schematically, yet there's so much hype.

This might take a while:

The bent and red pyramid (and a man with camel). Anyhow, I've read many books so far which were concerned mostly with the timing of the buildings and where they pointed etc. I will read more in the future, but we have only so much tim right now

I still curious what you think about my question? Not what the books say; but what you think.

Also what do you think of my PyRaMid?

Hmmm....try buying the book from another seller. I don't see why they can't send it to Australia, if Amazon is supposed to be World Wide?

I don't know anything about the pyramids at Dashour. Will see if it's discussed in any of my books.

You are lucky to have visited Egypt. Did you get any "feeling" there like a past life recognition?

Yes, the capstone. I haven't really thought of it too much, but I thought it was golden or something. The pyramid was supposed to be covered with shining white limestone, so imagine a gold tip on that? That could be stunning. Otherwise, maybe an eye of some sort - representing Atum when he first stood there and witnessed creation? Maybe there could've been a perched bird representing the Phoenix as the pyramids were also connected to the ben-ben stone - which was said to be laid by the Phoenix?

You know, the crystal idea of yours is very interesting (do you mean crystal puramid?) - it could've been used like a telescope or magnifying glass from the ground. Also, it re-minds me of the crystal skull (I think mentioned by Cayce?) found in Guatamala which could date back around 12000 years (not that I know how ot date crystal). My point is, the people who made the skull would've known how to make a crystakl pramid - also imagine the lights pouring from such a prism? That would be awesome!

Yes, pi ra mid has a cool ring to it, very spiralling. It represents mid in many ways - as mentioned above it was the mid of Egypt horizontally and was mid inbetween the delta (lower egypt) and the nile (upper egypt). Also as you said, the land masses of the northern hemisphere. Very cool interpretation

Yes, Egypt was awesome. Apprantly Cairo has the same population as New York, except two million people commuted every day so I think the traffic was worse. Did my pic turn out OK? I can't seem to see it, but I could get it. I'll work on the others (might take a few weeks though).

Well, there's a lot of speculation regarding the Dashour ones. For starters, it Egyptologists believed that one man built both which contradicts the "tombs" theory (which I think is utterly wrong anyway). But also to build two pyramids in forty years or so was questionable. Also why one was bent and one red was questionable You can see the bent one in the photo, but the red one doens't look too red from this distance.

I can't say I felt past life stuff, but I loved the country and its people except for the pushiness of some sales people, but still we got pretty good bargains. In many ways, visualising the size of some of the temples was the best fun. They were huge!

Yeah, I spent some time on it posting theories and thoughts, but mostly that was years ago when I was procrastinating studying at uni. I find posting thoughts here more fun as people can reply if they want to. I think my page isn't too popular. My programs doing OK though - almost 1.5 thou

I got goosebumps reading about your description of the capstone. I also wondered if it was gold. Fascinating about the Phoenix. I can picture that too!

I, too, have heard about and read about the crystal skulls. I may have a link. Yep ` here it is; The Ancient Crystal Skulls

How old were you when you went to Egypt? I mean, was it recent? Wow, 2 million people.........Wow. I can't see your pic either. It's a little red x in a box.

Linda said that sound was used to levitate the stones to build the pyramids; Betty Bethards said that the 3rd eye acted as a laser beam (using psychic energy) to cut the blocks of stone *and* to levitate them across the desert and then into place. She said it took 9 men to move 1 block; and that they had to stop and rest their bodies mentally and physically. They could levitate a block 2 miles a day until their energy ran out. Did you know that there are (supposedly) no tool marks on the blocks of stone? She also says that the purpose of building the pyramids was to raise and restore people's energy. The shape of the pyramid enables man to manifest energy.

I meant to re-read the Great Pyramid Decoded today but didn't have time. Maybe this week.

Anyhow, have a great week ~

Being a scientist, do you believe in aliens????????

To me, this is proof of alien life. I posted this once before here at LL but no one was interested nor did they respond.
