"Well, how old is the Great Pyramid?" asked Rick. "Some say it is 10,000 years old, long before Egypt was founded, while others say it is much younger."
Evidence. that's what Rick wanted. In fact, I do receive quite a few emails asking this same question.
So, if you were wondering, here
are some fascinating facts.
DATING OF GREAT PYRAMID
Some scientists contend that the Great Pyramid itself tells the date of its construction (foundation).
HOW OLD IS THE GREAT PYRAMID?
In the 19th century, the
Astronomer Royal of Scotland, Professor Piazzi
Smyth, spent 6 months camped near the Great Pyramid. He went to work with the mind of a Master
Astronomer to solve some of the
pyramid’s mysteries. Smyth explored the Descending Passage which pointed upward to the sky on the pyramid’s northern face. He found that it was set at an angle of 26 deg. 18 min. 10 sec.
pyramid’s mysteries. Smyth explored the Descending Passage which pointed upward to the sky on the pyramid’s northern face. He found that it was set at an angle of 26 deg. 18 min. 10 sec.
The eminent Sir John Herschel
had discovered that this Descending Passage
pointed to a Constellation of stars known as Draconis (“The Dragon”). With careful
astronomical calculation, Smyth now confirmed
this.
this.
While in the Descending
Passage, Smyth was excited to find two “Scored Lines”, which pointed upwards at right
angles. These indicated to an astronomer
to examine their direction in the sky.
These “Scored Lines” were about
4 feet long. Smyth was amazed at their precision.
Having long been an astronomical transit observer, he felt that he was in the familiar surroundings
of an observatory! Calculating carefully,
he found that these “Scored Lines” pointed upwards, through the Pyramid, to the star Alcyone in
the constellation known as “The Pleiades”.
Alcyone was regarded as the
PIVOT of the solar system, around which all other
“fixed stars” appear to revolve. It was called “The Central One”.
Professor Smyth made an
exciting discovery. At the SAME TIME that the Descending Passage was pointing to the
POLE Star (Alpha Draconis), these “Scored
Lines” were pointing to Alcyone, the “PIVOT” star. That conjunction took place on September
22nd, 2144 B.C.
ALCYONE – THE “FOUNDATION STAR”
Here, fixed into the pyramid’s
construction, was a definite date - 2144 BC.In the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we may now ask, could the “scored
line” indicate 2144 BC as defining the EPOCH OF THE PYRAMID’S FOUNDATION?
And now a remarkable fact comes into play. Tradition from the
Euphrates region (Mesopotamia)
seems to identify Alcyone with the ceremony of FOUNDATION-LAYING. This is significant
when you discover that the Pyramid builders
have been traced to a Euphratean origin.
Furthermore, a researcher into
ancient astronomy informs us that “Alaparos (the second of the ten antediluvian
kings of Euphratean legend) is equated with
Alcyone (Tauri).
The Euphratean astronomical
abbreviation of the Sign is Te or Te te, the highly
abraded form of the Akkadian dimmena (‘foundation stone’) = Assyrian, timmena timmen timme-tim tem te
(‘foundation’).
The ‘Foundation’ star (Temennu)
is the Pleiad, or particularly Alcyone.” (Brown, Primitive Constellations,
vol. 1, p.57) Remember Betty and Barney
Hill were abducted by Pleiadian’s and Betty remembered the star map on the wall
of their ship. It was later studied by a brilliant woman Marjorie fish who
created a 10 point match indicating that the Pleiadian star cluster was their home
base. Apparently they have been coming here a very long time.
Was the pointer to Alcyone the
“FOUNDATION Star” fixed in stone to record the
date of the “FOUNDATION” of the Pyramid? A strong probability.
The “scored line” defines
actual observations at midnight of two successive Autumn Equinoxes, that of 2145 BC. and
that of 2144 BC. These observations fix
the astronomical zero for reckoning of days, as associated with midnight. They likewise define the commencement
of the Pyramid's solar year at the Autumnal Equinox.
DATE OF THE GREAT FLOOD ALSO DEFINED
According to researcher Basil
Stewart, the Egyptian “Book of the Dead”, suggested
that the Ascending Passages would represent “years for inches" in the Pyramid. (Stewart, The
Mystery of the Great Pyramid, pp 17 -19)
From the “Scored Lines” of 2144
BC, the passage was measured - until at 200 inches a dark granite plug was
reached. Calculating on the “inch to the year” scale, this brought interesting
results.
If these 200 inches truly
represented 200 years, then the conclusion was astonishing. Why? Because going
back 200 years before 2144 BC takes us back to the date the Great Flood ended
in 2344 BC!
Had this dark plug been set in
place to symbolize the darkness which came over the earth at that time?
Then emerged something almost
as startling.
The star group Aquarius (“the
Waterman”) was also found to be featuring in the astronomy of the Pyramid. Ancient
peoples associated AQUARIUS with the waters of
the GREAT FLOOD.
The accepted date for the
ending of the Great Flood is 2344 BC. And - was it by coincidence or by design -
the SAME “Scored Lines” that pointed to Alcyone the Foundation Star in 2144 BC, also
pointed to the precise spot in the sky where
AQUARIUS would have been directly overhead in 2344 BC!
Just think about that.
I am NOT saying that the Great
Pyramid was already built before the Flood, with
its “scored lines” standing there pointing to Aquarius while the Flood was on. No, the pyramid was built
AFTER the Great Flood. (Its measurements incorporate
the length of the new, post-Flood 365¼ day year, and NOT the
pre-Flood 360 day year.) And the “scored lines” were positioned to commemorate an event that had already occurred.
pre-Flood 360 day year.) And the “scored lines” were positioned to commemorate an event that had already occurred.
Let it be understood that I am
not endorsing such things as predictions of the future in pyramid measurements, as
some do. We are simply attesting to some known
facts of history.
THE HISTORIC WAR BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL
The ancient races believed that
the devil (represented by a serpent, or dragon) had hijacked Planet Earth and
entrapped mankind into rebellion against the Creator. They also recorded this
understanding in the pictures of the constellations
on their star maps.
In 2144 BC, Thuban Alpha of the
DRACONIS Constellation (representing the DRAGON, identified as representing SATAN)
shone down the Descending Passage towards the so-called
“Bottomless Pit” at the bottom. In the ancient world, Satan (Lucifer) was understood to have caused man’s
descent to darkness, desolation and death.
That star of the Dragon
constellation, shining over the Descending Passage, symbolised SATANIC INFLUENCE.
By contrast the “Scored Lines”
pointed to the PLEIADES which symbolised a sweetening
influence. Hence in the old book of Job we read: Can you bind the SWEET INFLUENCES of
Pleiades? (Job 38:31)
In ancient traditions, the Pleiades star group was associated with benign influence and blessedness.
In ancient traditions, the Pleiades star group was associated with benign influence and blessedness.
So in this sense, the Great
Pyramid encapsulates the struggle between Good and Evil. Did they see the uplifting
influence of the Pleiades as a symbol of the Creator’s
intervention to save man from the results of his own folly? Was this a message that man need not be always
on a slippery downward path but can look upward?
This much is certain. The
ancient world was very conscious of the two opposing forces behind world events.
The influence of Evil, well
illustrated by the Descending Passage with the Dragon Constellation shining down it,
was depicted by writers such as Isaiah: How
you are fallen,.. O Lucifer [The Dragon]. For you have said
in your heart, ‘I will exalt my
throne above the stars of God: I will sit . . . in the sides of the NORTH.’ (Isaiah 14: 12 15)
Thuban Alpha, shining over it, is situated on the NORTH face of the Great Pyramid!
Thuban Alpha, shining over it, is situated on the NORTH face of the Great Pyramid!
Modern Astronomy has confirmed
that midnight, September 22nd, 2144 BC, was
the date when Alcyone of the
“sweet” Pleiades was in position over the “Scored Lines”, just at the same time when
Thuban-Alpha of the “evil” Draconis was shining down the Descending Passage to the “Pit”.
Thus Astronomy gives a date
which may have great significance for the Great Pyramid.
CALENDAR CLUES TO THE AGE OF THE GREAT PYRAMID
CALENDAR CLUES TO THE AGE OF THE GREAT PYRAMID
The ancient calendars had a 360
day year. In harmony with this, the earth was divided into 360 degrees. The ancient
Chinese calendar was 360 days long. So was the
Babylonian. And the Roman. And the Mayan. And the Indian. And the Egyptian.
But later, every nation changed
its calendar.
This rearrangement of the
calendars in antiquity has long been a puzzle to scholars. Why did ALL
those ancient nations change their calendars from years of 360 days to 365 ¼ days?
BECAUSE THEY LATER GOT CLEVER –
OR IS THERE ANOTHER REASON?
My neighbour Rob Payne thought
he had come up with the answer. “Oh, I can explain that,” he said. “The ancients first
proposed a rough system of yearly count, and later,
when their mathematical knowledge increased, they refined it.”
Nice try, Rob. Except we’ve now
discovered that those ancient peoples were already excellent astronomers and
mathematicians - yes, even when they created the 360 day calendar.
For example, the Maya have left
us some of their calculations. They computed the synodal period of the moon as 29.5209
days, as accurately as we can calculate today with
our sophisticated equipment. Their degree of accuracy would surely not have been less for the year.
Now let me ask you: Why would
so many cultures in such widely scattered regions of the world all have made the very
same mistake for the length of the year, and then
all rectify it in the same way?
I know some folk like to think
the Great Pyramid of Egypt is much older. But realistically,
there is good reason to believe that it was built within a few hundred years after the Flood. The
Great Pyramid accurately stands in the center of
the land surface of the earth as it NOW exists and must have existed at the time the pyramid was built.
It could be called a huge planet
marker, a giant survey post. It marks both the longitude and latitude at which there
is more land and less sea than at any other meridian
on earth. Evidently the builders were well acquainted with the exact amount of land on the surface of the
earth as it existed AFTER the Flood (not before),
as well as its geographical distribution.. This suggests that results of the post-Flood global survey were
already in.
It would also explain why the NEW LENGTH OF THE YEAR was also incorporated into the measurements of the Great Pyramid.
It would also explain why the NEW LENGTH OF THE YEAR was also incorporated into the measurements of the Great Pyramid.
The external features,
dimensions and units of this pyramid together give precisely and accurately every essential
value of the earth’s PRESENT motions and
orbit – not the PREVIOUS one that existed before 2345 BC.
This identifies the Great
Pyramid as a post-Flood structure. Definitely not pre-Flood.
For example, intentionally or by accident, the circuit distance around its base, measured direct from corner to corner, is 36,524.22 primitive inches. This is exactly 100 times 365.2422 - the value in days of our solar year.

Even though the calendar was
still 360 days long. This is so astonishing; we must take off our hats to those
early post-Flood scientists. They
were ahead of us in many ways. There was no rough count; it
was precise to the ten thousandth of a decimal point.
was precise to the ten thousandth of a decimal point.
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED
A tablet discovered at Tanus in the Nile Delta in 1866 reveals
that in the ninth year of Ptolemy
Euergetes (c. 237 BC), the priests at Canopus decreed that it was “necessary to harmonize
the calendar according to the present arrangement
of the world.”
The reason the ancients gave for the re-calculated calendars was
not that they were in error, nor
that they had improved on more primitive techniques. It was that there was a “changed order of
things.”
And with each passing century,
the calendar misalignment had become more pronounced.
The nations that sprang up after the Flood with a ready-made culture, inherited their knowledge basically from the
world that was wiped out at the Deluge. They continued
where Noah left off. They inherited, along with everything else, the antediluvian (pre-Flood) calendar of
360 days.
Was there, at the time of the Deluge, a change not only in the
planet’s axis, but a change in
its orbit, which in turn caused the lengthened year?
It does bring to mind that
curious biblical reference to the Creator, who was believed to “move the earth out of her
place.” (Isaiah 13:13)
