Still unsolved remains, for example, the dispute over the Great Pyramid. While academics agree to confine its construction to the IV Dynasty, I believe that their position conflicts with more scientific evidences I observed in the last 15 years of studies on this subject.
The Great Pyramid and Khufu are still a mystery?
From the beginning, the Giza Plateau was considered one of the greatest dilemma of ancient Egypt. It's undeniable that Sphinx and the Pyramids are monuments technically conflicting with a civilization that scholars described as "semi-primitive". In fact, as scholars stated - in 2,450 BC - Egyptians had acquired the primordial knowledge of agriculture, still they didn't discovered the wheel and they had very primitive copper and wood tools.
So, the questions are: how could they build Pyramids? Is it a certainty or a necessity to state that Khufu's workers built the Great Pyramid? What evidences connect Khufu to the majestic building of Giza?
Questions require a very cautious approach, because it's a thorny problem that could upset consolidated stereotypes. Building bridges between different points of view it’s never easy, but trying it’s not evil!
In order to better understand the theories proposed, let’s check why the Great Pyramid is considered the Khufu’s Tomb. What evidences?
This may sound strange but there aren’t solid proofs that the Great Pyramid was built along the IV Dynasty.
Despite some Egyptologists imposing rules ever shown, research goes on to find out the truth into the events characterizing the Egypt distant past.
Egyptologists claim that Khufu’s workers made one of the wonder of Ancient world, but…
1) Egyptologists have never found organic matters into the Great Pyramid chambers. The Subterranean Chamber (or Chamber of Chaos), the Queen Chamber and the King Chamber were found totally empty of finds. I want to stress some aspects concerning the robbed tombs of the Ancient Egypt. Thieves have always left traces of their passage: shards, fragments of plants, objects smashed. In the Great Pyramid none of this happened; thieves have also swept the floor before leaving... nothing has been found. This is an important detail!;
2) Egyptologists have never found hieroglyphics painted or engraved on the walls inside the Great Pyramid of Giza. This is another important detail, because, as noted, in all the Ancient, Middle and New Kingdom tombs, Pharaohs memory was always preserved by the ancient writing painted on the walls of their tombs. But the Great Pyramid is an inexplicable exception;
3) Egyptologists have never found grave goods into the so-called funerary chambers inside the Khufu’s monument. That is very basic detail, because Ancient Egyptian Civilizations became famous thanks to the majestic wonders found into the pharaohs’ tombs. Through the finds, Egyptologists retraced the ancient Egypt traditions. Still unforgettable is the very important Howard Carter's adventure and the discover of King Tut’s Tomb.
So, why the Great Pyramid is still considered as the last abode of Khufu by Egyptologists?
Synthetically:
1) Herodotus Historiae inspired modern Egyptology. But, an interesting detail is that the Greek writer drew up his Historiae 2,000 years after the Khufu’s Kingdom, thanks to Egyptian Priests memories. Furthermore, in his classic masterpiece, Herodotus told about the pyramid construction, underling that workers "used little wood machine to carry the stones to the upper of the building", but many researchers relegate this proposal to the fantasy or some Priests memory failure. In fact, Herodotus tales conflict with majestic characteristics of the pyramid as the granite blocks, forming the King Chamber and the Djed, of 50 tons heavy;
2) In 1837, the English colonel Howard Vyse and his friend John Shae Perring, at the climax of a disastrous archaeological expedition, as a miracle, they found the proof that the Great Pyramid was built by Khufu's worker: a cartouche painted on the stone, reproducing the name of the pharaoh was found into the chambers of the Djed, in one of the most isolated place inside the monument. It's a fake, as many researchers affirm? is it the confirmation that the pyramid was built along the IV Dynasty? The dispute is still unsolved, because all efforts to analyze the cartouche are denied.
In two points all the Egyptologists proofs about the Great Pyramid are enclosed. There aren't other evidences confirming scholars' conclusions.
It's too few to plan a correct theory without any doubts.
Because of the Pyramid shapes, many conjectures have been made concerning the origins of the building, conflicting with academic proposals. Was it a tomb? Was it built by an ancient civilization, lived in Egypt before the Flood?
Proposals originated from a scientific study of the Great Pyramid, since the XIX century. Researchers noted lot of relationship between the Pyramid and the maths for example, but also a perfect knowledge of the geographical orientation:
1) In 1859, John Taylor, an English publisher and writer, in his book "The Great Pyramid", argued that the monument base and height are in pi-greek relationship. Also, the King Chamber is built in Phi-greek relationship. As noted, the number pi-greek was calculated by classic greeks along the VI century AD. May it be considered an empiric coincidence or an accurate will of the builders?
2) The Great Pyramid is perfectly aligned to cardinal points. Many scholars stated that the merkhet - a typical Egyptian timekeeping tool - was used to determine the north through a constant astronomical observation. Was it enough to align the monument? and above all, why a semi-primitive culture needed to align its monuments to the cardinal Points and the Stars? Was it an ancient legacy?;
3) The Pyramid base is a perfect square and its angles are perfectly of 90°. After two centuries of Egyptology, it's always so hard to conceive a civilization having such a perfect concept of the geometry.
Many doubts give rise to suspicions that Egyptology is moving towards a wrong solution of the Pyramid mysteries. Too weak proofs to be accepted as a logical and correct reconstruction of the facts which lead up to the IV Dynasty events.
No proof about a possible connection between Khufu and the monument, many geometrical and astronomical connections with the pyramid... and, above all a perfect knowledge of engineering.
1) Granite blocks, forming the King Chamber and the Djed, were mining from Aswan mines, 800 miles from Giza. I don't want to discuss about the mode of transport, but the perfect knowledge of mineral processing is unbelievable;
2) The Great Gallery Project is a miracle of engineering. But, what is striking is the fact that a culture such as the ancient Egyptians might conceive a so complex masterpiece;
3) The Descending Conduit, leading from the Entrance to the Subterranean Chamber, has the following characteristics: 109 mt. in length, with an approximation in its alignment of 1 cm. from the beginning until the end of the conduit; measures are 1mt x 1,19mt; a constant angulation of 26°31’; for 100 mt. the conduit is entirely dug in the living rock.
Could Egyptians have done this kind of job? how could they have built Pyramids?
In 1850, Auguste Mariette discovered one of the most controversial find ever unearthed: the Inventory Stele. According the ancient text, the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx were already built when Khufu ruled over the Egypt. So Khufu’s workers did a work of maintenance? Didn't they built the Great Pyramid?
According to results of my researches, Khufu was not the "father" of the Pyramid. A very easy analysis can help to find out the truth about the Egypt past.
Egyptologists declare that the monument was built to preserve the mummified body of the Pharaoh, waiting for resurrection. An essential condition is to bury the body under the ground. If we take a look to the arrangement of the chambers inside the Pyramids, nothing seems to be working.
As Egyptologists claim, first was built the Subterranean Chamber to place the Sarcophagus. Then, Khufu changed his plan and the upper chambers were built; the Queen Chamber and then, after a new change of plan, the latest, the so-called “King Chamber” where, actually, a kind of granite sarcophagus lies. The change of plan is the real mystery, that pushes the balance needle to careful and unexpected considerations. Why?
Because, in the Ancient Kingdom, the most important funerary rule was: “474 - The spirit belongs to heaven, the body to earth” (Texts of Pyramids, Utterance 305). “The body to earth” is a funerary dogma confirming that:
1) The Pyramid was not used as tomb, or…
2) Khufu was the first heretic pharaoh of ancient Egypt.
At the time, if the body of the pharaoh was buried above the ground level, it would be a great heresy. In fact, in all tombs of Ancient Kingdom, the funerary chambers were built under the ground level. Why the Great Pyramid is an exception? Khufu really was the first heretic pharaoh of the Ancient Egypt? And why Egyptologists never worried about this essential detail, that can shed light on the mysteries of the Pyramids?
A very easy Aristotelian syllogism can help for a better comprehension:
1) Funerary rules were well-defined and also inscribed in the Pyramid Texts:
2) Khufu didn’t respected the funerary rules because his funerary chamber was placed at 73 mt. above the ground, in the core of the monument;
3) Khufu must be considered the first heretic Pharaoh of the Ancient Kingdom.
There is no doubt that the finds analysis has been managed too freely. It lacks the capacity to link all items of investigation to allow more consistent results to be obtained. Debates about Pyramids should always have a rational component, but when Egyptologists insist upon conclusions rebutted by the facts, it means that someone want scientifically to move the evidences.
If the Pyramid really was the last abode of Khufu, it means that the pharaoh did not followed the Ancient Kingdom funerary rules and it must be considered an heretic, such as Akhenaton when monotheism was introduced during the Middle Kingdom. If Egyptologists don't know that, they have stumbled into something much bigger than they understand and, therefore quite a lot of theories have to be corrected, including the Pyramid primordial destination.
It’s time to confine the Great Pyramid in its own historical time: the Zep Tepi.
At the same time, we must strike a blow for Egyptologists whose job took place in relatively comfortable manners.
Academic Egyptologists claim that the pyramids of Giza are funerary complexes, that is to say, the last abode of the Pharaohs of the 4th Dynasty (2,620-2,500 BC), along with their wives and dignitaries. I believe that this is only partly true, that the IV Dynasty Pharaohs used structures made earlier.
In my opinion, the pyramids of Giza originally were built to document and communicate the scientific knowledge of a pre-historical and unknown society. The existence of the three chambers and of the Djed inside the Great Pyramid is not accidental. Instead, they are part of the specific, cosmological, and theological concepts the builders wished to document and communicate. What was the essential purpose? To document their history? Or, did they want to leave a “message” a “code” for whatever civilization might follow them? A kind of Time Capsule?
I believe that in the course of time the initial purpose of the pyramids was lost and the constructions were utilized as tombs of the latter pharaohs. This would give some credibility to the reasoning of academics, while recognizing the initial role of the monuments of Giza.
In the last two centuries, many fairy tales about Pyramids have been published. At the beginning of the new century, it’s time to apply new scientific patterns. it’s time to open the door to a Scientific Overview of the Giza Plateau, because we cannot let the History of Mankind get away.
Last year, I published results of my investigations about the monumental complex of Giza, and the first question was: how is it possible that Egyptologists didn't noticed that the funerary chamber inside the Great Pyramid conflicted with funerary rules in force during the Ancient Kingdom?
Sometimes all it takes is a little bit of attention to be ready to understand the meaning of the ancient message coming from the distant past of Mankind, when the gods ruled over the Egypt and the Giza complex, including other monuments in addition to Pyramids and Sphinx, was the mirror of the sky.
Maybe Khufu was never buried into the Great Pyramid… maybe he wasn't an heretic as it seems. But just only a scientific investigation, with an open mind, can help us to understand the Truth.
