... kings, who were contemporaries and related by marriages. It had twelve covered courts and two stories. There were three thousand rooms, half of them underground, half above. Each court was of white stone, surrounded by a colonnade. Such a large number of rooms suggests a storage depot. Near the corner at one end was a pyramid, 240 feet high, with carved figures of animals on it. The pyramid was entered by an underground passage. [Herodotus II:148] The Fayum temple and the Knosos palace were both temples. The use of white shoes [phaikades] and gypsum may have something to do with cleanliness and purity. The presence of a ...

193. The Origin of Velikovsky's Comet [Journals] [Kronos]
... the serpent-dragon was actually a writhing, comet-like apparition in the heavens.(25) Velikovsky distinguished his thesis from that of earlier writers by identifying the cometary monster as the planet Venus, placing the famous struggle between the light-god and the serpent-dragon at about 1500 B.C . But, since this basic theme can be found in the Egyptian Pyramid Texts and the earliest mythical literature of Mesopotamia, it is clear that the original symbolism predates by more than a thousand years the proposed catastrophe of Worlds in Collision. As we have come to understand the myth of the serpent-dragon, the original story appears to have had three fundamental components: 1) The serpent-dragon is an emanation of the ...

... is the first king of the 3rd Dynasty, and in the Abydos list he is, the sixteenth king beginning with Menes as the first. These king lists generally agree on the succession from Mena (Menes) to Djoser and on through the reign of Pepi II of the sixth dynasty. Beginning with Djoser, the Egyptian kings built substantial pyramids to serve as their tomb. This practice was carried on through the Middle Kingdom, after which no significant pyramids seem to have been constructed. During the eighteenth dynasty, kings were laid to rest in elaborately decorated tombs excavated in solid rock under a mountain which resembles a pyramid in shape, the entrances being off the Valley of the ...

... Egyptian history. Interestingly, Petrie in 1901 was so thoroughly convinced that he had properly organized Egyptian chronology on a sound foundation that in his address to the Egypt Exploration Fund, based mainly on his own pottery research, he claimed: "It is now twenty-one years since I began work in Egypt. . . . In those days the pyramid of Khufu [Cheops] was our boundary of history. . . . The situation is now completely different. The monumental history has been carried back to the very beginning of the written record, which has been entirely confirmed. . . . The archaeology is better known than that of the most familiar countries: not a vase nor ...

... tombs and temples only viewed previously in two dimensions on the pages of books. In fact, there eventually proved to be more suffering caused by the over-efficient airconditioning in the lounge during afternoon lectures, than there was by the sun outside. The heat did prompt some, however, to question the climate of the region at the time the pyramids were built as it seemed inconceivable that people could have laboured many hours under those conditions. For those with a mind to relax, the setting of the Nile Rhapsody' was ideal as it slowly forged its way upstream between palm trees and banana plantations alive with egrets, and maize fields and mudbrick villages where the children rushed to line ...

... various stones for visual effects, and treating, blessing or magnetizing metals and metal alloys. One might also produce some mental phenomena by feeding and extracting ionized air to and from the device. We are dealing with a complicated technical apparatus and set of operations and effects. Nor was any other religious device so activatable. The ark made the pyramid obsolete. In an age that saw no reason to distinguish between inanimate and animate natural forces, the liveliness of electricity would put it definitely in the sphere of the animate and, if not in a god, then in a voice of the immediate presence of a god. As Ziegler writes, the word electricity comes from the Greek ...
200. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Review]
... over 200 years if stored in ideal conditions, or 100 years in average tomb conditions. It seems Egyptian guides quickly realised that gullible tourists would pay well for miracle grain' and hid supplies in tombs for resale. 10 years ago a small robotic explorer was sent up the mysterious 20cm vent leading upwards from the Queen's Chamber of the Great Pyramid but it stopped against a small limestone door with copper handles. In Sept. 2002 another robot was sent up, this time equipped with a drill and a fibre-optic camera, only to find yet another door' only 15cm further on. A further attempt to breach this obstacle is planned. Two FBI agents are convinced they have solved ...
