Standing Alone: the Great Pyramid

I've seen estimates that the great pyramid consumed over 10% of Egypt's gross domestic product for 20 years. In current terms of the US GDP, that would correspond to a cost of about $25 Trillion! The GP easily ranks as the most colossal and expensive flop in human history. It was supposed to secure the Pharaoh's body (his Ba) for all eternity, which was essential for the viability of the country. In actual fact, it fell a little shy of that goal. The pyramid was emptied of all its treasures within a few centuries. The Pharaoh's mummified body was probably used for firewood. Those passages that you are so enthralled with are ascending if you want to get out, but descending if you want to get in (to snatch some gold, for example). Also, the passages shown in those diagrams may not be all the passages, but just the passages so far discovered.And, of course the great pyramid, as well as all other structures in Egypt, were built by the descendants of Adam. All humans, male, female, and those in-between, are descendants of Adam.Ray, you never fail to amuse.

You are, of course, assuming that the in building the GP, whatever entity did the actual building first laid down the lowest course of stones, then laid the next course on top of that, etc. This ignores the real possibility that they first positioned the capstone, then jacked that up and laid the second top most layer, then jacked that up and inserted the next top most layer, etc., which makes all ascending appearing passages actually descending and vice versa. Of course, if a sufficiently adroit god built the pyramid, he/she would have avoided all the jacking up business and first positioned the capstone and subsequent stones in their required positions. The evidence that the great pyramid was built from the top down is overwhelming, but too extensive to list in a forum post. I will soon be publishing a book in which I detail exactly how the pyramid was built from the top down, and by whom, and will show how these revelations lead to the inevitable conclusion that evolutionistism/darwinistism is a false religion.

The piles of sand seen adjacent to some pyramids are nothing more than part of the "jacking up" mechanism: The pyramid is tilted up from one side and sand is shoveled under that side; the other side of the pyramid is then tilted up and sand stuffed under that side. The sand is then removed a bit at a time and replaced by the pyramid blocks. Isn't that the way you would build a 6.5 million ton pointy thing? (although, we should remember that stone weighed a lot less before the Great Flood, something I'll also cover in my forthcoming book.) If tilting up the great pyramid seems like a bit of a challenge, let's remember that Archimedes proposed pushing the moon around with a sufficiently long lever! A quick perusal of Wackipedia will show you that whether a passage is ascending or descending is entirely defined by which way your ass is facing while you are traversing said passage. This will be reviled revealed in my earth shattering and consciousness raising book, the publication of which will cause all evolutionarionismists to sink to their knees in supplication and beg forgiveness from the one true god. I will also demonstrate that any country that allows homosexuality is a bum nation in the sight of the lord.

I have to apologize and retract my contention that the only logical way to have built the great pyramid is from the top down. I recently drove by a construction site in which the "tilt-up" construction method was being used. (You can google on "tilt-up construction" or tilt-slab construction" to see how this very common construction technique works.) I immediately realized that it would have been quite logical and efficient to have built the pyramids on their sides and tilt them up into position. This immediately explains away the great mystery of how the huge capstones were put into place. I still am convinced that the great pyramid was built using the top-down construction technique, but I am quite sure now that the temple at Karnak and the Parthenon were built on their sides and tipped up into place. Its amazing what you can do with 20,000 slaves and a little bit of rope. It should perhaps have been obvious to you from Herepton's OP that this whole thread is a loony-bin. He posits that the construction of ascending passages or stairways requires mysterious divine knowledge held only by a small coven of brethren. Like maybe Prometheus' brother, Mordicaieus, stole the plans for ascending staircases from the gods and gave them to man. This would explain why the multistory buildings built by the ancients were so short: all the floors were at ground level and connected by horizontal stairways.These new considerations will unfortunately delay the publication of my book since I want to include all rational explanations. I am 100 percent for teaching the controversy.May you find peace everlasting. Regards, AnInGe

Wrong! Provably and demonstrably wrong! If you lay a hollow bamboo stick in the dead center of the Suez canal and sight through it, you will find that you are staring straight at ALPHA CENTAURI!!! Yes, you will be looking at the star that is closest to earth, symbolizing god's closeness to redeemed mankind. How could the ignorant British have known which star was the closest to the earth? And how could a mere mortal know to name the star for the first, the headmost, the beginning one who created all else?The canal is a narrow track of water joining two large bodies of water, showing that the way from corrupt and sinful earth to the glories of heaven is straight and narrow, but (and this is perhaps the most meaningful message in god's canal creation) it flows BOTH WAYS!!! God can cast down the errant angels as easily as he draws the repentant sinner up onto his bosom.If you examine the Panama canal or the great canal joining the Huang Ho and the Yangse or any other canal make by the hand of man, you will readily see that they are full of kinks and turns. Only the Suez canal is perfectly straight, a perfection well beyond the capability of mere mortals. The Suez is gods gift to man, any man willing to put aside his ignorant preconceptions and listen to the divine message.If you are still unconvinced of the Suez Canals divine origin and life giving message, then you must go to the canal itself. You will be immediately struck by the fact that the canal has a LEFT BANK and a RIGHT BANK, and that this is true WHETHER YOU FACE UPSTREAM OR DOWNSTREAM!!! The overwhelming significance of this will be obvious, I am sure, even to someone as mired in smug, self-assured ignorance and arrogance as you appear to be.

Now we know that Herepton is just funning us when he suggests that the GP was the Pillar of Enoch or was built by the Sethians (Enoch's sons and their descendants), because it is known of these pillars that:"Upon these pillars Enoch is said to have inscribed the antediluvian arts and sciences, and laws of the universe."So, if the GP is the 'Pillar of Enoch' it would be covered with those inscriptions. You guys that thought that Ray was just some full of crap crackpot just didn't pick up on the joke. Ray, you and I are birds of a feather. Rock on!Regards, AnInGe.

As we know, the so called 'Pillars of Enoch' were not built by Enoch himself, but by his son, Shem, and his descendants, the Shemians, and by their descendants, the Shemiemians. The Book Of the Dead references the 'Pillars of Shu' in several places. We can apply straight-forward Demskian Statistical Analysis to test whether these are the same pillars built by Shem, et. al.: Of the three letters in the name Shu, two are not just similar to but are actually identical to two of the letters in the name Shem. This establishes a 67% probability that the referenced pillars are the same. Further, There are six possible permutations of the letters s, h, and u and only one of these starts with sh. Also, there are 12 permutations of s, h, e, and m but only two of these (or 17%) start with sh. The probability that the pillars are one and the same (or one pair and the same) is the given by: 1 - (1 - .67)/6x6 = 0.99074074! Thus, having established with almost total certainty that the 'Pillars of Enoch' and the 'Pillars of Shu' are one and the same, we then see that the Egyptians, in their book of the dead, do attest that these pillars were NOT built by the Egyptians themselves, but by beings that they perceived to be of superior capabilities. I am sure that, given a little more time, I can prove the rest of Herepton's contentions with equally valid application of logic and rationality.
