Introduction
Since the first forced entry into the Giza
pyramids, mankind has attempted to rationalize the reason for their design.
There is no evidence proving that kings were buried within, and every new
discovery reaffirms this fact. This leaves us in a perplexed mental state,
allowing ourselves to develop imaginative stories and assumptions. It has lead
many to believe that the pyramids were constructed by multi-thousand slave
laborers, onward to the modern concept of extraterrestrial assistance.
When will we stop and begin to think in a
logical fashion? When will we begin to weigh the simple and basic facts within
the confines of these majestic and mathematically simple ancient structures?
What has curtailed us from understanding the messages left by the designers?
What prevents us from realizing their intentions?
The answers have
been known for many years, unfortunately we have listened with closed eyes, and
were too stubborn to acknowledge the evidence presented.
The tallest pyramid in the world was
dedicated to the king who reined during its construction, he being King Khufu
from the fourth dynasty. It is not known with certainty when the first
successful entry was accomplished, revealing several tunnels within this
pyramid. However, these accurately cut and formed passages direct us to three
various shaped rooms/chambers. The compartments have been named the “rock-cut”
chamber, “Queen’s” chamber, and “King’s” chamber. But we must ask ourselves why
any individual would apply these particular names to the chambers.
The only item
discovered within all three chambers was a single granite stone, hollowed and
shaped into a rectangular box and covered with a granite lid…this is a fact!
There was never any evidence indicating a granite box being placed in the
Queen’s chamber or the rock-cut chamber, yet we also assume these to be the
second and third burial locations.
Unknown to us, the inventor of this simple
and romantic story has successfully misdirected us for centuries. One singular
stone formed into a rectangular shaped box has been assumed to represent a
sarcophagus designed to entomb the deceased king, yet no bodily remains of
kings, for this era, were ever discovered within any pyramid at Giza.
Although many have attempted to explain why
there are three chambers with only one sarcophagus, the logic behind their
reasoning is non-supportive. Their theory is most basic and simple to
demonstrate, but is it a sensible explanation?
The rock-cut chamber was intended to be the
original burial location for the king. Before completing the rock-cut chamber,
the king decided to build a pyramid above ground to indicate his place of rest.
This initial pyramid structure would measure approximately one-half the height
of its present size having the new king’s chamber sealed within. The rock-cut
chamber was no longer necessary; it was abandoned and left in rough format.
While the second design was under
construction, the king decided to accommodate his beloved wife for her
afterlife into the new world, therefore an additional chamber was required. The
structure was modified once more and built to its present size with the third
and highest chamber added…the new and exotic “King’s” chamber. This theory has
become the most popular belief over the many others presented, but as mentioned
above, it defies simple logic.
We are taught that the three large pyramids
were built for individual kings during their reign; each having rock-cut
passages, and each pyramid contained only one sarcophagus. If we recall, the
rock-cut chamber was unnecessary, therefore we must ask why all pyramids on
this site have similar passages and chambers cut into the bedrock? Why would
following generations duplicate an “unwanted” feature in the other
“yet-to-be-constructed” pyramids?
We assume the individual location for the
base foundations were randomly selected by the king who ruled during their
construction, but have we erred in our judgment?
Was the original site selected allowing a
pre-engineered design to fit within the area having the correct topography to
satisfy the material requirements for construction? Although these structures
are named after King Khufu, his brother King Khafre and Khufu’s son King
Menkura, the builders failed to leave written evidence indicating which pyramid
is dedicated to what king. These basic issues are becoming the focal point of
the Giza complex, directing us toward resolving the reason for their design.
The debate will continue, and sometime in
our future, we will finally agree one way or the other to the question. “Was
the pyramid complex at Giza, Egypt built using a pre-engineered single design
concept?”
For many years, I have studied the theories
offered by others, from ancient times to present, and these individuals were
given the right to contribute their beliefs. If you, the reader, are a
proponent of the king’s burial theory, may I ask for your time, patience, and
consideration while reviewing what is about to transpire within the following
texts?
There shall be knowledgeable evidence
presented for the first time since the Giza complex was completed. The writings
to follow will indicate the ancient builders having advanced in mathematics
further than we assume possible. You will not question the singular design
theory, but moreover, you will begin to realize and ask yourself who were these
superior designers?
May this evidence guide us to a fuller
understanding of the complexity locked within the greatest structures ever
created by humankind…the pyramids at Giza, Egypt.
…Protected for eternity by their
guardian…the Sphinx!
