What do you think?



Another Look at the Pyramid:
"Never utter these words: 'I do not know this, therefore it is false,' One must study to know; know to understand; understand to judge." --Apothegm of Narada.

What I am about to say may be new to the reader... I took my car in for a check up and to fix a fuse that had blown. While I waited for the repair, I met a man who was full of questions. He seemed to try to fill the conversation with questions. I asked him if he had ever thought about the best questions that could be asked, which would lead people in proper paths. He looked at me and said, "I never thought of that. What kind of questions should I ask?" I told him that immortality and eternal life were probably the most important questions we could have answered. He said, "I do want to live a long time." He reached over and picked up a magazine that had a picture of the Great Pyramid on the front cover. To get his attention again, I asked, "What is your name?" He replied, "Mel." I said, "Mel..." and he said, "Nutrition." I asked, "Mel Nutrition?" He smiled and said, "NO! It's Mel Gibson." I tried not to show my disbelief. I asked him if he know who built the Pyramids. He said that they were built by primitive Egyptians. I said that that would have been remarkable. His car was ready and he handed me the magazine and said that it was enjoyable talking with me.

The Earth bristles with evidence that intelligent giants lived on the Earth and built megalithic monuments that cannot be duplicated today. Look again at the Great Pyramids of Giza, the remarkable city of Tiahuanaco on Lake Titicaca in Bolivia, Stonehenge in England, Baalbek in Lebanon, Teotihuacan in Mexico, Sacsahuaman, Ollantaytambu, Machu Picchu in Peru, Easter Island and the Sphinx. Authorities insist that these were all built by the primitive humans alive in those areas at those times. Yet, we can not duplicate the monuments today.

The smallest Pyramid contains about one million stones, while the larger two contain two and on-half to three million stones apiece. Each of those stones' average weight is three to four tons. The visible ones in the interior chambers weigh 50 tons or more. Also, much larger stones could be arrayed in the mostly hidden inner cores. Aside from the rough-hewn blocks that fill those cores, each stone that needed to be carefully crafted was cut and shaped and polished to a degree of perfection that must be seen and touched to be believed.

The exteriors were covered with white limestone polished so well they reflected the Sun brightly enough to be visible for twenty miles. Many internal surfaces (Queen's Chamber) were so lustrous they still cast reflections. Apart from surface perfection, all visible stones fit so flush against each other that a razor cannot be inserted between them. With no mortar to compensate for mistakes, there was no room for even a slight error. And, incredibly, none has ever been found. Each stone that had to be cut and shaped and placed perfectly was cut and shaped and placed perfectly, which is the technical/logistical equivalent of building a Rolex the size of Mt. Rushmore.

The magazine pointed out that the Pyramids were built with primitive stone and copper tools, plant-fiber ropes and wooden sledges-- no pulleys, draft animals, or wheeled vehicles. Let me use a low number of stones for the Pyramids. Assuming that six million stones were cut, hauled, shaped and positioned in only 100 years, let's look at the math. Start with 100 years at 12 months a year: 1200 months total. Dividing 6,000,000 stones by 1200 months equals 5,000 stones laid per month. 30 days per month means 166 stones laid per day. A 24 hour day means 6.9 stones laid every hour-- around the clock. So even if we grant the most generous figures possible, Egyptologists have to account for 7.0 stones laid every hour of every day for 100 straight years. No breaks, no bad weather days, no accidents, no down time of any kind-- just one stone fitted into place every 8.5 minutes.

Faced with what clearly seems to be an impossibility, where can we turn for more plausible answers? First, to the Sumerians, who assure us that the Anunnaki built the Great Pyramids much earlier than Egyptologists accept. The Anunnaki said that they built the Pyramids around 10,000 B.C., shortly after the so-called "Great Flood," which they knew was coming and were able to prepare for it. Supporting this timeframe are revelations offered by John Anthony West in "Serpent in the Sky" (Quest Books, 1993), the basis of an Emmy winning TV documentary narrated by Charlton Heston. In both his book and the documentary, West shows how deep weathering on the Sphinx (which rest in close proximity to the Pyramids) can only have been caused by heavy rainfall over a prolonged wet period, and the last such wet period in northern Egypt ended at around 8,000 B.C.

It seems reasonable to conclude that whoever built the Pyramids simultaneously built the much smaller Sphinx complex. Though a metaphor for silence, the Sphinx speaks volumes about its builders. The massive sculpture was carved in one piece from surrounding sandstone, leaving huge slabs of waste to be discarded or utilized. The builders use it, constructing a pair of temples in front of the crouching beast. Those temples are built with stones cut and shaped with the same precision as the finest in the Pyramids, yet relative to Pyramid stones several temple stones are much larger, 10x10x20 feet and weighing over 200 tons. Remember, today's timeframe for lifting and moving and placing large stones is counted in days, so imagine quarrying several 200-tone monoliths, shaping them to the dimensions of locomotives, moving them forward 100 yards and setting them in place as bricks in a wall built to microscopic tolerances. And do it using no draft animals, no wheels, no pulleys; only primitive tools like fiber ropes, wooden sledges, and human muscles. I DON'T THINK SO.

Ge 6:4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

Could these Giants be the ones who built the Pyramids?
