The
Great Pyramid of Giza, the oldest and only surviving of the 7 wonders
of the ancient world, is an engineering feat rivaling even today's most
incredible architectural accomplishments. Today, the monument that
millions flock to see each year is nothing more than a crumbling pile of
stones when compared to the majesty of it's original stature. It is
widely accepted that this astonishing structure was built as a tomb to
satisfy the ego of the 4th dynastic pharaoh, Cheops. Egyptologists have
come to this conclusion based on hieroglyphs found on a single stone in
one of the interior chambers, but recent evidence by some brilliant
researchers have many questioning the conventional theories.
Based on archaeo-astronomical data by Robert Bauval, the three largest
pyramids on the Giza plateau are a mirror of the Orion constellation as
it would have appeared 12,500 years ago. This could be a coincidence (as
standard Egyptological theories suggest), but
when you also take into account the water induced weathering on the
core body of the Sphinx and Sphinx enclosure (which was brought to light
by Boston University geologist and geophysicist Robert Schoch), as well
as the constellation of Leo rising with the sun of the summer solstice
at that same date (10,500 BCE), the coincidences start to seem less
coincidental. But it's not just the astral alignments of ancient Egypt's
greatest mystery that have some scholars looking for a more accurate
explanation of the purpose and age of the Great Pyramid and surrounding
structures.
Egyptologists have come to understand that the
pyramid builders had no real science or mathematics. However, several
geometric studies done on the Great Pyramid seem to contradict that
notion and demonstrate quite clearly that the builders had an array of
vast mathematical knowledge. Another lesser known fact is that the Great
Pyramid actually has eight sides, not four, which some Egyptologists
say could have occurred during an earthquake or an error of
construction.
So, when does coincidence become evidence? Is it
really that difficult for us to accept that maybe we aren't the apex of
civilization on Earth? That maybe our chemical weapons, iPhones, and
striped toothpaste may not be the pinnacle of human existence? There is
much, much more to ancient Egypt and the human story as a whole, and
together we are slowly piecing that story back together.
