Hello Titorite,
Interesting new thread – thanks.
Scott, I was wondering if you have read anything by Richard Noone? Spesificly "5/5/2000 ICE: the ultimate disaster". Personaly I think the book is grossly misnamed. At first I read it for a laugh. After the first 20 pages I was enthraled. Noone highlights much of the masonic world in relation to acient civilizations and in particular the great pyramid.
SC: I have not read Noone’s work but I certainly agree that the book you mention is unfortunately titled. Here we are – almost 2008 – no ultimate disaster. As for masonic symbolism – I am not surprised. I have myself discovered much masonic symbolism related to the pyramids but also to geodesy.
Just like the who geologists noticed the long term water erosion on the Sphinx and forced egyptolgists to admit that the Sphinx is older then originaly postulated
SC: I think you are referring to the Dr Robert M. Schoch and John Anthony West. Certainly they have made a claim that the Sphinx is much older than Egyptologists presently accept but they are having a difficult time proving their case as this small extract from John Anthony West’s site will testify:
I am still looking for funding for our Geologists Panel. It is imperative to carry out this survey. Without it, the Sphinx theory, however valid and scientifically demonstrated, is heading towards academic limbo, misrepresented and marginalized by its opponents. A report by an independent panel of geologists with expertise in the various specialties involved is absolutely essential to provide the publicity and press to keep the battle alive. Without that, it could get buried.
SC: This is not say that Schoch and West are wrong. It is one thing ‘believing’ something to be correct – it’s a whole different ballgame proving it. There are possibilities certainly – but conclusive proof has not yet been achieved.
It is an aspect of the pyramid mystery that I do not think should ignored. I mean what is more logical, 10 slaves building canals to float massive granite rocks into percision placment or 10,000 slaves useing ramps and logs to drag massive granite blocks?
SC: I haven’t read the book so it is difficult really for me to comment but it seems to me that building a canal to float the blocks into place would be every bit as big an undertaking as constructing the pyramid itself! And they did this for EVERY pyramid? The latest theory of pyramid construction presents evidence that the lower courses (at Giza) were quarried but that the upper courses were cast.

That boat they found at the base wasn't there to ferry anyone. It is placed there as a mason might place a square and compase in a corner stone.
SC: I have my own ideas for the Khufu boats which I will be discussing in a later thread.
Very best wishes,
Scott Cregihton
