Extractions: Pyramids: The Inside Story Part 1: The Large Stones We certainly know that the Pyramids existed because they're still with us. Rising out of the desert sands, the Pyramids of Egypt stand as a monument to the skill and determination of the Egyptian pharaohs and their ability to get thousands of people to do hard labor for generations. Huge blocks of rock were cut from places many miles away and taken by boat to Giza and other places where pyramids were being built. The slaves used a series of logs rolling on the ground to move the giant stones. Then, they put them in place as parts of a pyramid.

E.Cayce Reading Age Shafts Orion Mystery(E) Books/Video Links (E) - external links The Great Pyramid of Giza, among the seven wonders of the ancient world, points towards the celestial north pole with a margin of error of only a tiny fraction of one degree. Dr. Kate Spence, a British Egyptologist, believes she may have solved two of the great mysteries of archaeology - how the ancient Egyptians aligned the pyramid with such remarkable geographical accuracy and when the vast royal tomb was built. The Great Pyramid is a master of precision. Comprised of an estimated 2.5 million limestone blocks, archaeologists have known for over a century that the Great Pyramid was pointed almost exactly north, but nobody has been able to explain how the ancient Egyptians managed to align it with such unprecedented accuracy. The deviation in accuracy is minute as Dr. Spence explains:

Extractions: This page is not in final form yet, but should still be interesting The first thing we must consider is the origin of the name. It does not come from the Greek he pyr , "fire," but rather from ho pyros , "wheat." It seems that a sweet cake made from honey and wheat was often a prize in athletic or literary contests, and this cake was called ho pyramous , and apparently had a pointed top. A similar geometric figure was named after these cakes, and called , where the second form is the genitive singular and shows the stem for the other cases. This is, idos ending is a diminutive, so the the word apparently means simply "little wheat cake." The name of this geometric figure was then carried over, in all probability, to the immense Egyptian constructions, when they were first seen by Greeks. The Egyptian word for a pyramid, mn (vowel unknown), is something completely different, so "pyramid" is probably not derived from a non-Greek word, as suggested by Lidell and Scott. It was also probably not coined on the basis of any similarity between an Egyptian pyramid and a wheat cake. Geometrically, a pyramid is formed from any plane polygon by connecting some point not in the plane, called the
Extractions: Cairo street map Cairo has been the capital of Egypt since its construction one thousand years ago. It was built by the Fatimate leader Jawhar Al Sekelly on the orders of Al Moez Le'Deen El Allah the caliph who wanted to have a protected capital to the jewel of his crown Egypt. Since that time Cairo has been expanded considerably until it has become the largest capital in the Arab world and Africa with a population of about 20 million comprising nearly the third of Egypt population. One of the famous names of Cairo has been "The Capital of one thousand minarets" although this name is not accurate since there are more than ten times this number of mosques in Cairo today. Cairo has the Islamic characteristics of Egypt while the Pharaonic features are part of the character of its neighboring city Giza. Every body knows that the famous Egyptian pyramids are in Giza while few people know that Giza is one of three cities that comprise Greater Cairo. These cities or governorates according to the Egyptian administration system are Cairo, Giza and Kalyobia. Each of these three governorates has a governor appointed by Egypt president. Places you should visit in Cairo When you are in Cairo don't forget to visit these places and take you camera with you to keep memories of your trip. These are not all the places you can visit in Cairo, in fact you can never visit all of Cairo in several days or even years but they are the most important places you can visit.
"Pyramids And Temples In Egypt" By Coen Vonk The dominant scientific theory remains that the egyptian pyramids were built toserve as tombs This inscription, found in various other places in Egypt, http://www.theosophy-nw.org/theosnw/world/med/eg-vonk.htm
Extractions: By Coen Vonk The Mighty Ones perform their great works, and leave behind them everlasting monuments to commemorate their visit, every time they penetrate within our mayavic veil (atmosphere) . . . H. P. Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine Many are attracted to the mysterious old buildings of Egypt: millions have visited them, television programs focus on them, and numerous books are published on this subject. Perhaps the interest is caused by something lacking in our life today. Modern society is characterized by a high degree of technological and material development, but spiritually it is barely in its infancy. People who long to balance this one-sided knowledge about matter with knowledge about spirit may intuitively feel that the civilization of ancient Egypt, with its monuments that speak to the imagination, points the way to hidden truths of life. On the Giza plateau hundreds of tourists gaze in amazement at the gigantic structures. How and why were they built, when and by whom? The dominant scientific theory remains that the Egyptian pyramids were built to serve as tombs. Yet in the approximately 110 Egyptian pyramids discovered, not one mummy of the supposed builders* has been found, and the same applies to the 180 pyramids of Sudan, built with bricks by another culture at a later time. Though these are not as large as the Egyptian pyramids, still they are impressive. While Egyptologists maintain that mummies in the pyramids were looted, "unlooted" pyramids contained no mummies either. Moreover, in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, where all the graves had been ransacked except that of Tutankhamon, in many cases a mummy (sometimes shattered) and various related objects were found.

Extractions: Succession of kingdoms located to the northern part of the Nile, within the boundaries of modern Egypt, lasting from about 3100 BCE until 30 BCE. While the kingdoms at times were ruled by kings of foreign origin, the culture and religion of Ancient Egypt represented mainly a continuation and development from the same sources. Similar to modern Egypt, the Nile was the single source of water for Ancient Egypt, allowing abundant harvests 3 times a year. This provided for the necessary surplus for the development of trade, the establishment of urban centres, the emergence of powerful political leadership, of inventions and the production of crafts as well as advanced religious activities. The natural framework of Ancient Egypt was quite similar to modern Egypt. People lived on the fertile river beds, and the desert rising up from the green areas on either sides was empty. One difference is however central, the annual floodings, starting in July and lasting in September. Today the level of water in the Nile is controlled by the Aswan High Dam
Extractions: Cairo is the foremost capital on the African continent and lies at the center of all routes leading to, and from the capitals of the three continents: Asia, Africa and Europe. Cairo, a fascinating city, holds something for everyone. It is a colorful mosaic of four distinct cultures, Pharaonic, Coptic Christian, Islamic and Modern. The nights of Cairo when the magic of the East blends with the arts of the West offer visitors a world of excitement, thrills and diverse entertainment. Among the most remarkable outings is the Sound and Light Show at the Pyramids. Theater houses and cinemas offer a variety of national and international plays and the latest Arab and foreign films.

It is 70 meters long and 20 meters high. Nearby there is the Pyramid of Cheops, the largest and most renowned of Egypts Pyramids, built during the years 2566 2556 BC. Almost 2,5 million blocks of stone were put into building this pyramid, which measures 230 sqm at the base. Close to the eastern flank of the Pyramid of Cheops lie three small pyramids dedicated either to his wives or family members.
