  The curvature designed into the faces of the pyramid exactly matches the radius of the Earth.

  Khufu’s pyramid, known as the Great Pyramid of Giza, is believed to be the oldest and largest, rising at 481 feet (146 meters). Archeologists say it was the tallest structure in the world for about 3, 800 years.

  The relationship between Pi (p) and Phi (F) is expressed in the fundamental proportions of the Great Pyramid.

  What these points indicate is that the Great Pyramid, as well as the other two large ones on the plateau, as regards scale, design, complexity, and composition, are among the greatest achievements in all of human history. The idea that a civilization in its early stages, experimenting with how to make bronze and with little knowledge of engineering could have achieved this no matter how many people they had working on it, must be thrown out - as well as the idea that they were constructed as tombs.

  As the following photo shows, the casing stone, little of which remains intact, was not adhered to the surface, but interlocked in a three dimensional manner. This would have been a huge undertaking. Building the pyramid in 20 years, which is what most academics believe, would involve installing approximately 800 tons of stone every day. Since it consists of an estimated 2.3 million blocks, completing the building in 20 years would also involve moving an average of more than 12 blocks into place each hour, day and night. That means cutting them from the bedrock, moving them to the site, shaping them, and putting them into place with a high degree of accuracy.

  Other estimates are that every two minutes a limestone block would have to have been cut, moved, dressed, and then accurately put into position.

  Hard to see, but the remaining casing stones are within 1 degree of perfect level

  Not only did the casing stones interlock with the main structure, but the stones of the core itself locked into the bedrock in a three dimensional manner. Such a feat is again complex, and could have been done for structural, or perhaps vibrational reasons, which we will get into.

  The pyramid blocks interlocked with the bedrock

  The Second Pyramid had at least one row of casing stones and perhaps more of granite. Whether this was an aesthetic or functional choice is unknown. Popular belief is that the granite all originated at the massive quarries at Aswan, but our geologist questions that, believing that at least some may have come from the eastern desert areas, perhaps the Sinai. What remains of the casing stone still fits so tightly that a human hair does not fit in the joints, and as has already been shown, the early dynastic people had no tools for such precise work.

  Granite casing stone of the Second Pyramid

  One curious thing about the Second Pyramid is that the white Tura limestone casing stones are still somewhat intact on the top, whereas the Great pyramid’s surface has been largely stripped clean. Although the common belief is that the casing of all three pyramids was stripped by people, likely after the time of the dynastic Egyptians, it could be that a cataclysmic earthquake, part of the cataclysm of about 12,000 years ago that we have been discussing, could have been why the casing stone came out of place.

  With the pyramids essentially locked into the bedrock, a major earthquake would have caused the structures to shake very violently. This could have caused the casing stone joints to weaken and fall or even pop out. Far easier for those who utilized the material for the construction of Cairo to use what was on the ground, rather than trying to pry them out.

  The Third pyramid also has some of its casing stone in place, but is very different in texture than the other two. Rather than being smooth, the surfaces of the casing, which is pinkish granite and presumably from Aswan, or the eastern desert, has a rippled finish, quite similar to what we see if the Inca Roca wall in Cusco Peru. Also, there are knobs, which the Inca Roca wall also has.

  How this shaping was done is unknown, both in Peru or Egypt. The surface of the stone appears to also be much more eroded, and prone to erosion than that of the other two pyramids for some reason.

  What exists above ground is impressive, of course, but most people do not realize that there is a massive system of shafts and tunnels below the plateau. Few of these entrances are in the area that the public gets to see, such as in the photo above, but there are far more impressive ones in other areas.

  One of several entrances to the tunnel system beneath the Giza Plateau

  I was first allowed to enter into this system in 2014, and in fact went three levels down. I was told by my guide, Yousef, that there were many levels below that. There appear to be more shafts in the area in between the Sphinx and Great Pyramid, along the ancient causeway which leads to the pyramid itself. Rather than going straight,

  Several small shafts that lead to others and the tunnel system

  perpendicular to one of the sides of the Great pyramid, the causeway goes at an angle to miss the Sphinx. This tells us that the Sphinx is older than the pyramids, which we will get into.

  Shaft that leads to several side chambers, with the Sphinx head in the background

  It is believed by some, and especially those of the Khemit School, that the function of the tunnels was to conduct water from the Nile. The shafts could have been access points for these tunnels, for maintenance perhaps. Most have grates on them supposedly for safety reasons, but they also prevent anyone from officially exploring them.

  Massive shaft partly filled with sand

  The theory goes that the tunnel system was created first, in the limestone bedrock, and conducted water under the Giza Plateau. The dimensions of the tunnels were specific, and set up vibrations that were then enhanced by the chambers and shapes of the pyramids.

  Looking down into one of the deep shafts

  What the vibrational energy or sound was used for is unclear. Perhaps to set up an energetic field that allowed the builders and other residents to access higher levels of consciousness. The British-born master machinist Chris Dunn, author of the Giza Power Plant, believes electricity may have been the function. Clearly, more research has to be done, but what is also inferred is that the original pyramids, as in those from Abu Rawash to Dashur, were each specifically designed for a particular vibration. These were the original pyramids, that the dynastic people discovered when they first entered this area of the Nile some 5000 years ago. Over the course of time, they built their own, often made of mud brick, which have weathered far quicker than the originals, as they were very inferior. Some of the smaller chambers on the Giza Plateau were used by them as tombs - they simply found a use for what already was there.

  It is believed that this energetic system was functioning fully until a great cataclysm. This could have been when portions of the polar ice packs melted, or perhaps were even vaporized due to solar plasma, according to geologists including Robert Schoch who, in a private conversation with the author, stated that this could have occurred in as little as two weeks – and the world changed.

  Such a rapid alteration in the distribution of ice becoming water would have increased pressure on the Earth’s crust, causing volcanoes to erupt, and the planet itself may have been thrown out of balance. It makes sense that originally it was perfectly vertical, with this imbalance of ice becoming water resulting in our present 23.5 tilt.

  This would explain, for example, why woolly mammoths were found in the permafrost seemingly flash frozen with buttercups in their mouths. They went suddenly from a temperate climate to the frozen north. Also, this could account for tales of such ancient civilizations like Atlantis, inundated by water over a very short period of time.

  With the planet suddenly shifting its a
xis, the energy system of the Giza Plateau would immediately shut down, being rendered useless, and its residents either perished, or were forced to move.

  Seems logical that the planet was created with the right angle to orbit

  There are some profoundly obvious examples of lost ancient high technology scattered around the pyramids. As the next photo shows, saws on a massive scale were clearly in the area at the time, or perhaps even before the construction of the pyramids.

  Obvious saw cut in basalt stone near the Great Pyramid

  Though some people claim these cuts to be recent, such ideas are not backed by any evidence whatsoever. Next to the Great Pyramid there are the remains of a large basalt platform which has been plundered over the course of possibly millennia for building stone in other areas of Giza, or possibly Cairo. Here we find several massive saw cuts, by both straight saws and circular ones, whose cutting rate is greater than any such 21st century tool - as much as 2 mm per revolution.

  Obvious evidence of an ancient saw at work

  There are also numerous ancient drill holes seemingly with a penetration rate of 2 mm per revolution. As well, the large stone box inside the so-called ‘King’s Chamber’ in the Great Pyramid has saw marks in it that would appear to be original.

  Other factors that indicate that the pyramids of the Giza plateau bear no relationship to the dynastic works are clear and numerous. The most obvious is that there is no ornamentation inside any of these three structures. The dynastic people literally put glyphs anywhere they would fit; on walls, columns, sculpture, etc. Also, the pyramids were the greatest undertaking in the entire area, and they were made first?

  Further, the simple geometry of the pyramids and their enormity are very unlike other major sites in Egypt. As we travel into Upper Egypt, against the flow of the Nile, there are anomalous artifacts, such as massive obelisks, which are clearly pre-dynastic and could very well be contemporary with the ancient pyramids.

  According to oral tradition, and communicated to the author by fellow author Stephen Mehler, the pyramids in the Abu Rawash to Dashur area are in the oldest part of Egypt. This area was originally known as Bu Wizzer, translated as meaning the ‘Land Of Osiris.’ It is from Wizzer that we get the English words ‘wizard’ and ‘wisdom.’ The ancient pre-cataclysmic works are fewer the farther you move away from Bu Wizzer, but are still present. It is a sad fact that most of Egypt’s great obelisks were either destroyed, or carted off to foreign countries. Those that still exist are a sight to behold.

  As the classic obelisks were always made from one piece of stone, weighing hundreds of tons, it is not conceivable that they were of dynastic origin. One theory believes that they were part of the ancient pyramid energy system. If the pyramids emitted energy, especially vibration, then it is quite possible that the obelisks were made by the same builders as energy receivers, much like how television, radio, and Wi-Fi works today. We will get into this more later when we discuss Karnak in full.

  Patricia Awyan of the Khemit School inside the Valley Temple

  According to most academics, the Valley Temple was part of the funerary complex of Khafre including, along with the pyramid (with its’ so-called ‘burial chamber’), a mortuary temple (joining the pyramid on its east side), and a covered causeway leading to the Valley Temple itself. The purpose of these valley temples has been debated. They could have been used for the mummification process, or perhaps for the ‘opening of the mouth’ ceremony, when the ‘ka’ entered the deceased person's body. This temple is in an excellent state of preservation, having been buried by desert sand until the 19th century.

  We have already fully explained that the dynastic Egyptians could not have constructed sites such as this, as they did not have the tools to quarry, shape, and move the granite it is composed of. The idea that massive pieces of stone such as this were floated down the Nile on barges, or dragged across the desert on sledges of some kind, is preposterous. For a start, where would the wood have come from?

  Anyone who has visited Egypt will note that the only trees of any appreciable size are date palms, which would be unsuitable for boat construction because it is very soft and stringy in nature.

  Possibly the cedars of Lebanon? It is known that the Egyptians did use this wood for boat construction, but the size of a ship or barge needed to move one of the large obelisks would have been massive, and transporting the wood 600 kilometers from the forest would have been a major task.

  Pharaoh Khafre’s Valley Temple was built in the mid to late 26th century BC according to Egyptologists, which of course was at a stage where they only had bronze tools. The temple is constructed of a limestone core of huge blocks, many weighing between 100 to 150 tons. The blocks were quarried from the plateau surrounding the Great Sphinx that, along with its temple, lies adjacent to Khafre’s valley temple. The floors throughout the temple are paved with travertine, which is a type of marble.

  Why the walls were made so thick is a quandary. Not only did you originally have precision shaped and fitted granite stones on the outside and inside, but also a core made of huge limestone blocks. The Valley Temple is next to the Sphinx Temple, the latter being right in front of the Sphinx itself. According to Yousef Awyan, and blatantly obvious when you see the site for yourself, they were in fact one complex.

  Glimpse into the Sphinx Temple with the Valley Temple at right

  The Sphinx Temple has not fared as well as the Valley Temple, most of its granite being stripped off, both outside and inside. The amount of weathering of the internal limestone, though a soft stone, is extreme to say the least, and looks like several thousands of years of exposure to the elements. An astonishing fact about the Valley Temple is that its construction appears to have been in two stages - the granite casing stones, on the side facing the limestone blocks, was cut in peaks and troughs to fit the existing erosional patterns of the limestone core blocks. In other words, when the granite facing was added, the limestone core was already heavily eroded, implying that the core blocks were already vastly old when this renovation took place.

  Egyptologists, as mentioned earlier, attribute the building of the Valley Temple to the Pharaoh Khafre (2520-2494 BC). This is because a diorite statue of this pharaoh was found inside the temple, buried upside-down in a pit. As far as convincing evidence goes, this hardly ranks very highly – indeed, there exists a passage of text in hieroglyphs on an artifact known as the Inventory Stella, which implies that the Valley Temple (and the Sphinx) already existed during the reign of Khufu, who ruled more than 30 years before Khafre. (41)

  View of the Sphinx Temple from the front - notice the extreme erosion

  The Valley and Sphinx Temples are contemporary with the Sphinx, as they are comprised of massive stones removed from the Sphinx enclosure when the Sphinx was being shaped. Bronze tools can cut and shape limestone, but the sheer scale of the stones removed and their number would be a herculean task for any civilization.

  It was the ground-breaking work of geologist Robert Schoch, with the heeding of John Anthony West, that turned the Egyptologists’ world upside down. In his own words:

  Khemit School with the Inventory Stelae

  ‘In 1990 I first traveled to Egypt, with the sole purpose of examining the Great Sphinx from a geological perspective. I assumed that the Egyptologists were correct in their dating, but soon I discovered that the geological evidence was not compatible with what the Egyptologists were saying. On the body of the Sphinx, and on the walls of the Sphinx Enclosure (the pit or hollow remaining after the Sphinx’s body was carved from the bedrock), I found heavy erosional features (seen in the accompanying photographs) that I concluded could only have been caused by r
ainfall and water runoff. The thing is, the Sphinx sits on the edge of the Sahara Desert and the region has been quite arid for the last 5000 years. Furthermore, various structures securely dated to the Old Kingdom show only erosion that was caused by wind and sand (very distinct from the water erosion). To make a long story short, I came to the conclusion that the oldest portions of the Great Sphinx, what I refer to as the core-body, must date back to an earlier period (at least 5000 BC, and maybe as early as 7000 or 9000 BC), a time when the climate was very different and included more rain.

  “Many people have said to me that the Great Sphinx cannot be so old, in part because the head is clearly a dynastic Egyptian head and the dynastic period did not start until about 3000 BC. In fact, if you look at the current Great Sphinx you may notice that the head is actually too small for the body. It is clear to me that the current head is not the original head. The original head would have become severely weathered and eroded. It was later re-carved, during dynastic times, and in the re-carving, it naturally became smaller. Thus, the head of the Great Sphinx is not the original head. In fact, the Sphinx may not have originally been a sphinx at all. Perhaps it was a male lion.” (42)

  Others, notably Stephen Mehler, and based on the teachings of Abd’El Hakim Awyan, believe the Sphinx was carved in three phases, and that it was originally a female lion, the personification of Tefnut. According to the indigenous tradition, Nut is the sky or cosmos, representing all that is unmanifested. When Nut (pronounced ‘not’) wanted to appear in a physical form, she spat upon the Earth and where this was became the limestone outcropping that eventually was carved into the form of the Sphinx.
