The last major engineering task was the positioning of the capstone, basically a small pyramid, on the very top of the Pyramid. The pyramidion, as it is called, was made of fine limestone and probably covered with electrum, an alloy of gold and silver, and might have weighed as much as fifteen tons.48 We don’t … Continue reading »

It was a momentous day when Sneferu, king of Upper and Lower Egypt, the Great God, died sometime around 2590 b.c., but the date of his death and the details of the funeral of one of Egypt’s greatest pharaohs went unrecorded. This seems incredible to us, living in a society that wants every possible detail … Continue reading »

Before a single block was put in place, the angle of the pyramid had to be determined. The Egyptians did not think in terms of degrees; they never divided the circle into 360 degrees as we do. Rather, their unit for angles was called the seked. Their unit of length was the cubit, roughly the … Continue reading »

Imhotep’s great creation, the Step Pyramid of Saqqara, sparked a frenzy of construction in Egypt, and a nation of farmers became a nation of builders. It is even possible that Imhotep went on to design a second step pyramid for Zoser’s successor, King Sekhem- Khet, whose pyramid was discovered in the 1950s (see Appendix II). … Continue reading »

The Bible does not mention the Great Pyramid of Egypt although it did exist long before Israel came into Egypt and was there when Joseph and Mary brought the Messiah into Egypt at His birth (Matt. 2:13). In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s the Great Pyramid was a hot topic. Many theologians began to … Continue reading »

There are also many theories about the purpose of the Great Pyramid. Along with not being able to conclude absolutely who built the Great Pyramid, mankind also does not understand why it was built. Many believe that Pharaoh Cheops (or Khufu) built the Great Pyramid for his tomb around 3350 BC, because many of the … Continue reading »

There are some that believe UFOs built the Great Pyramid. Now Von Danikien in his book Chariot of the Gods put forth this hypothesis. He states that beings from another planet had advanced technology to perform this task. There is absolutely no proof for this theory. Part Two of this article on the Great Pyramid … Continue reading »

One of the enigmas about the Great Pyramid is who built it. There are many theories, but certain factors have to be taken into consideration in answering this question. For example, the astronomical calculations found on the Great Pyramid determine that is was literally impossible for the Egyptians to have designed it. Quoting Max Toth’s … Continue reading »

One might wonder how a pyramid can be lost, but that’s what happened just a few hundred yards from the Step Pyramid. In 1951, Egyptian Egyptologist Zakariah Goneim discovered the remains of a pyramid that was never completed.58 Unlike Zoser’s, which had six steps, it was apparently intended to have seven. Almost totally covered in … Continue reading »

Max Toth in his book Pyramid states how many interpreted the various dimensions of the Great Pyramid. It reads: “…pyramidologists believe that the Pyramid in all its symbolism, represents the laws of the universe expressed geometrically (p. 189).” This cannot be denied if history is correct about when men acquired certain knowledge. The dimensions of … Continue reading »
