    The Pyramids
    2010-10-07, 6:13 PM
    If one had to choose the top mysterious power spot on earth, the easy choice would be the Giza Pyramids in Egypt.The official Egyptian brochures say that the three big pyramids in the Giza complex were built as tombs for kings.These purport that the largest and most precise of these Pyramids, often called the Great Pyramid, was built by King Khufu (Cheops) sometime around 2,550 BC.On the Mystical side, the Pyramids - especially the Great Pyramid - may tell us things that we haven't discovered about ourselves, our world, and even our universe. The official Egyptian stance on the subject of when the Pyramids were actually constructed has come under some serious criticism in the last century as evidence builds that the Pyramids are far older than previously thought. Obviously, the Egyptians have many reasons to "keep it in the family" by perpetuating the classic theory of the pyramids being constructed in about 4,300 B.C.The first piece of evidence is from a man named Herodotus who visited Egypt in 443 B.C. and related a story about the Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops) building the great pyramid. The other main piece of evidence for this timeline is an inscription that was supposedly found by Col. Richard Howard-Vyse after blasting his way into the airspace chambers above the King's Chamber in 1837.Many legends passed down from ancient civilizations mention the Pyramid as a repository of sorts to protect the knowledge of a highly advanced civilization from "a flood." This is significant, and there are records that indicate that before the limestone surface of the Pyramids was stripped away, there was a water line that reached to about halfway up the Great Pyramid - about 240 feet - strongly suggesting that the Pyramids were built before the great flood - which occurred around 10,000 B.C.Inside, when the Great Pyramid was first opened, there were thick salt deposits along the walls to about halfway up. <IMG src="http://www.mysticalblaze.com/Pyramids2.jpg" border="0" alt="">
    What we have with the Great Pyramid is a huge structure made out of big chunks of rock, each piece weighing at least 2 tons that rises 48 stories above ground level.The traditional thinking is that the Great Pyramid was built course by course, and the rocks were quarried and then transported by over water by barge and over land by sled to the building site, then lifted using ropes and weighted arms similar to levers. Some say that some sort of scaffolding may have also been used. Sounds like a lot of work to us!At this point, it is pretty clear that the Great Pyramid was built to relay a message of some sort to future generations. We have seen that the physical outside measurements contain complicated references to just about every aspect of our physical world and even our solar system and beyond, indicating that whoever built this magnificent structure knew as much or more about the physics, geology, and geometry of the world as we do today. Therefore, it's no surprise that the inside also yields measurements that open up whole new vistas in science, mathematics, and even religion.<IMG src="http://www.mysticalblaze.com/Pyramid11.gif" border="0" alt="">The first passage you will enter is the descending passage that goes to the subterranean chamber, but this is blocked off today and tourists are not allowed. This passageway is narrow at about 3.6 feet, and is low at only about 3.11 feet, making for a long crawl downward. The floor looks more like a gutter for water than a passageway for people, and goes about 345 feet before opening up into the subterranean chamber, which is cut into the bedrock and lies 300 feet beneath the apex of the pyramid (the picture above is not accurate in that respect - the chamber should be directly centered under the pyramid). Nobody knows for sure what purpose this underground structure served, but plenty of interesting theories abound which are (or will eventually be) discussed on other pages in this section.

    Since you can't go down to the subterranean chamber these days anyway, what will really happen when you enter the Great Pyramid is go up - on all fours unless you are really short - because the Ascending Passage is also only 3.6 feet wide and 3.11 feet in height. You travel like this for 129 feet at which point the passageway levels off and you can continue on horizontally to get to the Queen's Chamber or continue up for the Grand Gallery and King's Chamber.
    The Queen's Chamber is 150 feet down the horizontal passage which at the end finally gives you room to stand upright, a welcome relief for most. The Chamber itself is 18 feet 10 inches x 17 feet 2 inches and is 15 feet high with a gabled roof. It lies directly under the apex of the pyramid, which is probably significant, but nobody knows why. The floor is rough, suggesting that it may have been covered by another material in the past (or was just left rough for whatever reason), and there are two ventilation shafts here that are blocked and whose original purpose is unknown. The ventilation shaft going south - or to the right in the picture above, is the shaft that was explored in September, 2002 and was found to be blocked by a door with handles, called the Gantenbrink Door. Tantalizing evidence so far suggests that on the other side of this door there may be another yet-undiscovered chamber containing who knows what. On the east wall of the Queen's chamber is an interesting niche or enclave with a 16 foot high triangular-shaped entrance that looks like it would house a large statue or something similar. Over time, it was dug deeper into the walls of the Pyramid in hopes another chamber would be found. Nothing has been found, and nobody knows what this niche was originally intended for. On the north wall there is another shaft that runs horizontally for about 6 feet and then travels upward and terminates about 20 feet from the outside of the pyramid.

    Good Andriy!

    It sounds funny:

    "Since you can't go down to the subterranean chamber these days anyway, what will really happen when you enter the Great Pyramid is go up - on all fours unless you are really short - because the Ascending Passage is also only 3.6 feet wide and 3.11 feet in height.

    You must be very short to go there. cool

    Look at the beginning of your information. There is something wrong. Also, add a link where the information and the photos were taken from.
