In an attempt at returning to the original topic: “what does evryone think about the great pyramid , what was its purpose , why no hylogriphics, EVRY tumb other than the great pyramid has hylogriphics “ - TTS
There are numerous beliefs and theories about the Pyramid of Cheops. Personally, I didn’t feel that grounded in any of them until I read Peter Tompkins’ book, “Secrets of the Great Pyramid”. One can find much about this book online. Just as an overview, here is a list of its contents: http://greatpyramid.org/aip/tompkins.htm While one can argue that *any* belief about it is but a personal projection of some sort, the physical correspondences found with the pyramid associated with the mathematics presented as being what was being codified in stone (also presented in an earlier link I provided in this topic), seem to be the very best explanation grounded in *rational* thinking I’ve found. Now, on a personal note, I’ve heard different mystical stories about how it was used for self advancement that I would like to believe are true; however, the evidence just isn’t there and the associated ideas do not need the existence of that specific physical structure to be of note either. Over the decades that I’ve studied this particular structure, the ideas about who and how it was built have evolved from the long standing use of ‘slaves’ and a lack of clarity as to how it could have been built to a fairly clear and backed by engineers and historians view of an entire culture supporting the vision and working on it…not as slaves but as willing and actually deeply involved participants. Again, the archeological evidence points to well kept people living in a fairly comfortable setting under the given conditions as well as being fed well and consideration given to family ties too…all striving to produce/manifest this one great vision. Yes, there were slaves in Egypt. No, the workforce for the pyramid was not even mostly comprised of slaves. As to the apparent lack of hieroglyphics, there are numerous stories about some having existed in the past. However, here again, they are but stories. From Tompkins’ book (listed above) we find the following: “…What the Great Pyramid looked like when it was completed, or even for the first one or two millennia thereafter, is not recorded in history. No description of the Pyramid has survived in the Egyptian texts. Legends have it painted in various colors, marked with designs and inscribed with symbols The thirteenth-century Arab historian, Abd- al-Latif, says the Pyramid was once inscribed with unintelligible characters in inscriptions so numerous they would fill ten thousand pages: his colleagues assumed them to be the graffiti of myriads of ancient tourists The first eyewitness descriptions from classical authors are pitifully sparse. Thales, the father of Greek geometry, who visited the pyramid sometime in the sixth century BC., is reputed to have astounded its Egyptian guardians with a correct computation of its height by measuring its shadow at the time of day when its own shadow was equal to his height. Unfortunately he left no detailed description of his visit The works of other classical authors known to have written about the Pyramid, such as Euhermerus, Duris of Samos, Aristagoras, Antisthenes, Demetrius of Phaleron, Demoteles, Artemidorus of Ephesus, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Alexander Polyhistor, Butoridas, and Apion are all lost, and survive only in fragmented quotation…” On Apr 14, 1:13 pm, malcymo <[email protected]> wrote: > What level of health care? > > Malc > > On Apr 14, 8:33 am, allan deheretic <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > the builders of the pyramids were never slaves. as matter fact they also > > had health care. > > Allan > > > On Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 2:55 PM, DarkwaterBlight > > <[email protected]>wrote: > > > > Alan, > > > I would be greatful if you could site this "proof" that the so called > > > "slaves" were paid for thier labor.
