The book "Pyramid Prophecies" by Max Toth/Warner Destiny Books, documents matches between history & measurements in the Giza pyramid, converting measurements to time spans.

But more importantly, it tells of the exploration of the underwater pyramid near Bimini in 1977. The discovery of it was reported in newspapers then also. They only removable object was a 3 & a half inch diameter quartz crystal ball, which was put on display.

People fast noticed that touching it could HEAL anything, so people lined up to touch it. One day a man touched it & instantly got the ailment of the lady before him who was healed. They stopped letting anyone touch it since.

THAT function of pyramids PLUS the ball can explain why so much planning & effort went into so many pyramids around the world that perished in the deluge of about 9600BC that left pyramids underwater & under sediment around the world. www.atlan.org...

The effects of pyramids alone are disputed. Let's face it; pyramids make NO sense unless they did serve an important & useful function.

www.ancientmysteries.cjb.net... has a picture of one of the 3 Baalbek Lebanon monoliths. Another, a different color & dimensions is pictured in "Chariots of the Gods" by Eric von Daniken; 15 feet by 15 feet by 60 feet, maximum weight estimate 2000 tons. To this day our machines cannot move the monolith.

Things in Peru defy explanation also. www.chariotsofthegods.com...

If by Hall of records you are talking about the Chamber some claim is under the Sphinx. Last time I checked the Egyptian would not allow anyone to dig under the Sphinx and they had no plans to do so themselves.

As for the purpose of the Great Pyramid IMHO it was not created by Khufu and was not infact a Tomb.

They were built to keep the pharoes razors sharp...

Protection from floods ? Fire from the sky?
I always felt something that big and strong had to be motivated from fear of something.

Anyway I can't find it but I saw a ref. that some lady did a article "Pyramids under Bermuda Triangle"

If you come across a Prof. Scott or an idot from Fl Egypt Society don't bother reading any further most people have claimed he is full of shyt.

The "hall of records" is something dreamed up by the mystics of the late 1800's. The Egyptians had no such belief. In fact, as a belief, the "hall of records" doesn't appear in any philosophy until about the 1700's or so.

I'm pretty sure they have been. But since what turned up wasn't a "hall of records" or other thing predicted by various mystics, the announcement was mentioned and the world went "ho hum" rather than getting tremendously excited about it.

I thought they were built to show appreciation and to honor the upper-class leaders?

According to the late, great Manly Hall, the Great pyramid is not all on top, he says it is a quadrangle of equal sides and the rest will never be seen.
Also it was once covered by a gleaming white surface that glowed in the dark and it was vandalized and now is in many wealthy homes used a decoration or power?
How awesome the energy much have been, though materials can only be speculated about their composition of the coverings.

Don't forget the gold on the capstone......

The evidence seems to suggest they were simply what they were, elaborate tombs built by people who put more emphasis on the afterlife than the current one, and so took extraordinary steps to secure themselves (according to their beliefs) a position of power in that afterlife.

No doubt that the gleaming white, gold-capped pyramids were an awesome sight, promptly proclaiming the divinity of the Pharoah, and assuring his godhood after death as well.

They're simply tombs, built by men who believed themselves to be gods and therefore thought they should have monumental structures for their tombs.

Blame it all on Imhotep, who designed the first one for Djozer.

Aliens didn't help, it's not a power source, and it's nothing more complicated than giant stone crypts made by ancient people to house their deity's body.

lol and his food from spoiling

Come on we all know why the pyramids where built. So in the year 1994 we could have the movie Stargate.

Anyways, I always wondered what is under the pyramids of Giza...

I am amused at all the people that believe there is something 'mystical' or extraterrestial about the pyramids. The Egyptians, as well as other civilizations at the same time, certainly had the engineering skills to build the pyramids. Flaws exist in the pyramids, and we know they had the knowledge and technology to build better than they did. The only mystery is why did the Egyptians screw up in the design, layout, and construction? They were capable of better precision than shown in the pyramids.

It is racist and ethnocentric to believe the Egyptians did not build them.


We also know there never was a lost continent of Atlantis. There was a small localized disaster that destroyed a small town or a portion of an island and that incident formed the basis of Plato's morality tale. There is also a compelling argument that Plato fabricated the entire story and no such disaster ever took place. In either case there is not now nor was there ever a mid-ocean lost continent.

There are enough real historical and scientific enigmas to investigate. We do not need to let imaginations run amok over nonsensical non-mysteries.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

You know not to long ago alot of people said the same thing about the City of Troy And they were proven quite wrong.

Its only a theory that Santorini eruption is what inspired Atlantis is hardly proof.

Lots of people mention Troy but only one person mentions Atlantis.

Ergo there was more foundation to the idea of there being a Troy in the first place.

Dave hit the nail on the head. It is moronic to deny that the Egyptians built the pyramids. The Aztec pyramids are even larger, but we never hear tales of how flying saucers built them, or rumors that they had high technology.

Why? Because the Spanish conquered them and wrote everything they found down, leaving no room for arguement. With the Egyptians the records are more patchy, allowing loonies around the world to invent stories.

More of a foundation? Yeah the best evidence of its existence was from the poem "The Iliad" Thats very different from the evidence of Atlantis.

Schliemann used geographic clues from his copy of the Iliad to find Troy. The vast majority of reputable archaeologists thought it was just a myth

As for the Spanish writting down everything about Aztecs Thats funny they really were concerned about native history and culture. They must have left out the chapter explaining how Cocaine and tobacco found its way over to eygpt. Strange since that stuff only grew in the Americas.

Those conquistadors should have spent less time stealing gold maybe and they would have caught that one when they where writing down everything.

Well Shadow, the trojan war was a massive part of Greek culture, Alexander of Macedon referred to himself as Achilles reborn and the son of Zeus. From this it could be argued that there was more substance to the idea of a trojan war and the existance of troy.

When do you see Atlantis refered to by anyone else except Plato?

As for Spanish records... Following the conquest a detailed record of everything in the Empire was made so Charles V could be told about what his new realm included. So everything was written down, with a particular focus on the abundance of gold and silver.

As for trade between the Aztecs and Egyptians, your gonna have to think some more mate, since the Aztecs are several thousand years later than the Egyptians. And when we find some Egyptian remains in S.America or records on either side of the Atlantic that refer to such voyages you can talk as if they were fact.

Its alot easier to beleive that the Victorians who opened mummies for show on a large table in a public place could expose them to coc aine and tobbaco than it is to suggest that there was organised and systematic travel between S. America and Egypt.

And you didnt answer my question, why were the Aztecs able to build there pyramids but the Egyptians needed either high technology or alien intervention?

Did I ever say the Egyptians didnt build the pyramids? I dont remember saying say anywhere.

I was just trying to point out that what archaeologists believe is Myth has turned out to be quite real. Before Troy was found most reputable archaeologists would have lumped Troy with Atlantis in the Myth section.

Fair enough, and while its true that many archaeologists didnt beleive that there was a real Troy there was more evidence available to them suggesting its existance than there ever has been about Atlantis.

Even Plato stated he was not the origin of the story of Atlantis he said the story was handed down from the Greek statesman Solon which he claimed was told of it by Egyptians.

We dont have the Egyptian accounts to back up this claim but places where such records might have been stored like the Library of Alexandria didnt fair to well so who knows.
