Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt, page

I discovered this video on youtube and I figured i'd share it here.

That video was done by Christopher Dunn and it demonstrates the engineering and technology used in the Temple of the Pharaoh's.

I think our ancestors were a lot more advanced than we give them credit for.

Good question - The serpent was used in a lot of art back then. Im thinking it has something to do with the "Serpent Priests" perhaps?

From what I know... bear in mind others may have a different opinion, the serpent worn on the Pharaonic crown is meant to symbolize the power of the state/crown as the serpent was seen as a guardian figure with a vindictive character.

It's called a Uraeus. It was the symbol of lower Egypt and the goddess Wadjet, lower Egypt's protector. When Lower and Upper Egypt united, the crown featured the patroness of Upper Egypt, Nekhbet, a vulture.

On a smaller scale, related note....

I have also heard of the serpent on the pharoes headress being an analogue for the serpent power of kundalini expressed in Indian Yoga as it rises up the spine and activates the third eye/merges the two hemispheres of the brain into complete vision.

Come on really? Sigh, you must be making a joke. I cant believe people who claim to follow Christ can be so narrow minded. I dont want to be offensive you have a right to your oppinion, but these kinds of statements show a lack of evolution in MY oppinion.

That was a good point about the merging of two hemispheres because Egyptian Pharaohs were about the merging and ruling over the upper and lower kingdoms. Couldn't really be king without that

Dunn is a smart experienced man. I think his observation are important points too.
Where are the tools and techniques that had to have been there to achieve the results that they had?
