Chapter 34 Chapter 36 Pandora's Box

Looking in the direction of the three great pyramids from the highlands at the southwest corner of the Gisha monument, the pyramids are dignified and gorgeous, with a bit of weirdness. The pyramids of Mancala are closest to us, while the pyramids of Khafre and Khufu are to the northeast of us, and the three can be connected almost but not completely in a diagonal line - from the southwest corner of the pyramid of Khafre , through the northeast corner, extending northeastward to the southwest and northeast corners of the Great Pyramid of Khufu.This should not be a coincidence.However, from where we are sitting, this imaginary diagonal running in the opposite southwest direction will never meet the third pyramid, because the third Pyramid of Mankala is located in This extension line is slightly to the east.

Egyptologists refuse to admit that there is any irregularity in this.I am not at all surprised by this.Scholars have never believed that the buildings in Kesha Heights were planned.In their eyes, the pyramids are just the tombs of the pharaohs. The three pharaohs built their own pyramids in order to assert their own personalities during the 75 years before and after, and they have nothing to do with each other.If Mancala chooses to "qualify", there is nothing surprising. However, ancient Egypt scholars were wrong.On that morning in March 1993, I didn't know that there had been a great breakthrough in research in this area. The fact that the buildings in Kesha Heights were planned in advance can no longer be doubted.Not only the positions of the three great pyramids themselves, but even the relationship between the pyramids and the Nile River a few kilometers east of the Kesha Heights were carefully planned.Not only was the planning grand and ambitious, but it was also taught by the constellations of the sky—perhaps that's why ancient Egyptologists (who pride themselves on keeping their feet on the ground and looking only down, not up) fail to recognize it.In the following chapters, we will explain in more detail the relationship between constellations and the situation of the pyramids, but here we first need to explain that although the overall plan of each pyramid is huge, every detail reflects the construction of the pyramid. The author showed the most rigorous attitude in the measurement direction and method.

amazing giant ●Republic of Egypt, Kisha area, March 16, 1993, at 8:00 am. The third pyramid is only a little over 200 feet high (the side length of the base is 356 feet), less than half the height of the Great Pyramid, and much smaller in weight than the Great Pyramid, but its appearance is majestic, giving people a special sense of solemnity.Stepping from the desert sun into its vast geometric shadows, I suddenly thought of the Iraqi writer Abdul Latif. Latif).After visiting the third pyramid in the 12th century, Latif wrote: "Compared with the other two pyramids, it looks much smaller, but when you approach it and look up alone, you not only feel that it is huge, but also has a strong sense of power." The sense of oppression is oncoming..."

At the time of the 12th century, the covering stones of the 16th-step stones at the bottom of the small pyramid still existed. Latif recorded that he saw the covering stones of red basalt—"extraordinarily hard, even if a solid iron tool was used to strike hard on it for a long time , and it is difficult to cause traces".Some of the stones are very large, but due to their exquisite workmanship, they are very closely connected to form a complex puzzle, which is reminiscent of the construction wonders in Cuzco, Machu Picchu and other places in distant Peru. The entrance to the third pyramid, like the other two, is opened at a considerable distance from the surface in the north.After entering, there is a downward slope of 26 degrees and 2 minutes, which leads straight to the dark world below like a bow and arrow.The road leading from the north to the south is rectangular in some places, and is so narrow that people have to bend over to pass it.The interior of the pyramid is densely surrounded by basalt from the ceiling to the walls. What is even more amazing is that the same fine workmanship can be maintained from the entrance to the deep underground.

After about 70 feet from the entrance, the road leveled off and the roof rose to a walkable height.After going forward a little, you can enter a small room, surrounded by carved stone slabs, and there are traces of grooves on the walls, which were obviously dug for filling the stone slabs.After reaching the end of the room, we had to shrink back again to enter another corridor.Shrunk to half your height, and after walking about 40 feet, you arrive at the first of three main chambers (if they are chambers at all). These dark and silent tombs were built on a solid foundation.The first room is rectangular, facing west, about 30 feet long, 15 feet wide, and 15 feet high. The ceiling is flat, but the internal structure is complicated. Tunnel-like space.There is also an opening in the floor of the room, roughly in the middle, leading into a westward downward ramp that leads deeper underground.We descended the ramp, but not far, before entering a horizontal corridor, and through a narrow door on the right of it, we entered another small room.There are six small holes dug in the wall of this small room, four on the east side and two on the north side, so simple that it looks like a monk's bedroom in the middle ages.Ancient Egyptologists speculate that these small spaces may have been "cabinets ... for things that the Pharaoh wished to have with him after his death".

Coming out of the small room, we turned around and returned to the horizontal corridor just now. After walking to the end, we found another empty room, the interior design of which can be said to be unique among Egyptian pyramids②.The room was about 12 feet long by 8 feet wide, facing north and south, and the walls and broken floor were paved with very rich chocolate granite, which seemed to absorb light and sound.The roof is also paved with 18 pieces of granite of the same color, 9 pieces in a column, and the two columns are symmetrical to the left and right, forming a gable shape and forming a perfect concave ceiling form, which is reminiscent of the basement of a Romanesque cathedral.

After leaving this Roman room, we walked back to the sloping road again, this time turning back and going up. It didn't take long to come to a room with a flat roof and walls and floors paved with rocks.From the gap in the west wall of this room, you can see the 18 granite slabs that made up the ceiling of the Roman room just now, and the top of the ceiling arranged in a gable shape.What is puzzling is how the ancient Egyptians transported these 18 slabs to this place and hung them so perfectly in their current position?Each stone slab weighs several tons, no matter what the environment, it is difficult to carry and handle it, let alone in this narrow underground space.The builders of ancient Egypt seem to have taken the trouble out of themselves (or they thought the work was too simple to be worth mentioning), deliberately leaving no working space in the floor and ceiling slabs.I managed to climb into the gap in the wall, and measured the distance between the floor of the room and the ceiling of the Roman room, and found that the south side was about 2 feet high, while the north side was only a few inches high.So, in theory, the builders of the time would have had to lift the ceiling from the floor of the Roman room, but how was this done in practice?The Roman room below itself is very narrow, and can only accommodate a few workers to work in it at a time.But it is not enough to lift the stone slab with the strength of a few people's wrists.The pulley technology was not invented when the pyramid was built (even if there was pulley technology, there is no way to build a pulley in such a small space).Was there already some leverage system that we didn't know about?Or the witchcraft and magic in ancient Egyptian legends are more effective than modern ancient Egypt scholars know, as long as the mantra is lightly chanted, no matter how heavy the stone will be, it will float ③?

Once again, I found myself confronted with one of the many "impossible" engineering techniques in another Jinyu Tower.The sophistication and delicacy of the pyramid engineering technology is breathtaking.Moreover, if the ancient Egyptian scholars' statement that the construction of the pyramids occurred in the early days of human civilization is to be believed, it is incomprehensible that the Egyptians did not accumulate any experience in huge engineering before building the pyramids. .How did they do it? The theory of the age of the pyramids is full of contradictions, but orthodox scholars are unable to provide explanations for the contradictions.

name on the pyramid Walking out of the catacombs of the behemoth heart that seems to be connected with many arteries, through the narrow entrance corridor, we finally came to the exit of the third pyramid and came into contact with the outdoor air. The next goal is the second pyramid.We rounded its west side (approximately 708 feet in length), turned right to the north, and came within 40 feet east of the north-south axis, finding several major entrances and exits.One was opened 30 feet directly in front of the flat foundation stone, and the other was opened 50 feet to the north. On the bbb: the rooms and passages of the Pyramid of King Mancala

Bottom: The room and passage bbb of the Khafre Pyramid. If you enter the pyramid from the upper entrance, you will immediately face a downhill road of 25 degrees and 55 minutes.We choose to enter from the entrance of the plane, and also go through a section of downhill first. After entering deeper underground, the road gradually turns flat and leads directly to the underground room.But after reaching the end of the passage, there is a steep upward slope, and after a short walk, we encounter a horizontal passage facing south again (communicating with the road coming down from the upper entrance on the north).

This horizontal passage is as high as a person. The front half is paved with granite, and the back part is limestone. It is exactly at the same level as the bottom stone of the pyramid. The "burial chamber" at the center of the pyramid. As mentioned earlier, despite the name "burial chamber", no mummies or any inscriptions have ever been found in this chamber.Therefore, no one knows who the real builder of this tomb, which is generally recognized as the Pyramid of Khafre, is.The only thing in the tower is the names of later explorers engraved on the wall, such as the well-known juggler Giovini Bessoni, who forcibly broke into the pyramid in 1818, and painted black paint on the south wall of the tomb. Sign your name big.Bessoni's style reflects human nature: everyone wants to be remembered and recognized forever.From the cemetery around the pyramid, there are objects reminiscent of Khafre everywhere (such as his portrait, etc.), showing that King Khafre's ambition in this regard is not inferior to others.But if this is the case, why not leave any traces of his name or other traces in his tomb that can remind future generations of him?I can't help but wonder again, why ancient Egypt scholars insist that this pyramid is Khafre, not the tomb of other pharaohs? But who, if not Cabra? From many perspectives, the lack of evidence of Khafra's existence in the tomb is not a problem, but whose tomb belongs to is the real problem.It is impossible for the pharaohs before Khufu, Khafra and Mancala to build such a huge tomb.According to some ancient Egyptian scholars, the first pharaoh of the fourth dynasty, Khufu's father, King Snefru, was in Dahshur, 30 miles south of Gesha, at the same time. Two pyramids, "Bent" and "Red", were built.But this statement itself is very problematic: Assuming that the pyramids are really the pharaoh's tomb, why would a pharaoh need two tombs to bury himself?Some ancient Egyptologists also believe that the pyramid "Collapsed" at Meidum was also built by him (although some scholars insist that it was built by Huni, the last king of the third dynasty).In addition to the above-mentioned pharaohs, only Zoser, the second king of the third dynasty, and Sekhemkhet, who succeeded him, built pyramids in the Old Kingdom era.It is said that Zhou Sai once built the famous "Step Pyramid" (Step Pyramid) in Shakara, and Saihanket also built his pyramid in Shakara.Because of this, although there are no inscriptions in the pyramids, most people believe that the three pyramids in Giza must be the three kings Khufu, Khafre and Mancala, and they must be tombs. We don't have to repeat the absence of the "pyramid tomb theory" over and over again.Not only the three main pyramids at Giza, but also the other three minor pyramids, as well as all the Fourth Dynasty pyramids mentioned above, are not mausoleums.Of all the pyramids, not one has been found to contain the remains of a pharaoh, or any trace of a royal burial.In Maiden's "Crash Pyramid", there isn't even a sarcophagus.Although there is a sarcophagus in the pyramid of Saqqara in Saihanket (Egyptian Archaeological Hall [Egyptian AntiquitiesOrganiza tion] discovered in 1954).However, no one has opened it since it was put into the pyramid, and grave robbers for thousands of years have never found the sarcophagus in the Saihanket Pyramid. When the Egyptian officials opened it, they found that it was empty. How should such a thing be explained?Why did the pharaohs pile up 25 million tons of stones in Kisha, Maiden, Shakara, Dasr, etc., for the sole purpose of storing an empty coffin?If only one or two pharaohs were paranoid, it might be okay, but if every pharaoh in that era was spending too much and building useless pyramids for no reason, the reason is puzzling. another dimension door Sansa and I stepped into the underground chamber of the Second Pyramid, which was piled up with 5 million tons of stones.It is possible that this room was a burial chamber, but it is also possible that it was built for a purpose that we do not yet understand.The interior decoration of the room is clean and simple, with a width of about 46.5 feet from east to west, a length of about 16.5 feet from north to south, and a height of about 22.5 feet from the ground to the top of the gable ceiling.The slope of the stone slab on the ceiling is 58 degrees, 7 minutes and 28 seconds (exactly the same as the slope of the pyramid), and above the ceiling, there is no "decompression chamber" at all (for example, there is a decompression chamber on the King's Hall of the Great Pyramid. ) to help reduce the weight of the ceiling, but for 4,000 years or more, this arched ceiling structure has been supporting the weight of the second largest building in the world without error. My eyes slowly scanned the interior of the room, feeling a white-yellow light reflected from the wall towards me.The walls are pasted with the same irregular stones as the foundation stones, which have not been polished.The floor of this room is also very special, with a 1-foot difference in height between east and west, and a box, which is regarded as Khafre's sarcophagus, is embedded in the floor beside the west wall.Not only is this stone box only 6 feet long, but it is also not deep enough to fit a noble pharaoh with a dense body wrap, because the red granite side of the box only reaches the height of a person's knee. In the dimly lit room, I stared intently, feeling that the door of another dimension was slowly opening to me. note ① "Map of Ancient Egypt", page 36. ②As mentioned in Chapter 35 of this book, Hauer Weiss found the wooden coffin lid and human bones in this room.It is generally believed that Hal Weiss discovered the wooden coffin lid (later lost at sea) and human bones, which were opened and put into the pyramid by later generations, and the time should be in the 26th Dynasty or later.See, for example, The Blue Guide to Egypt, p. 433.
