Sickle of Truth

“Of all the pyramids the one which preeminently attracts the attention of tourists as well as of pyramid students, is that which by common consent has been named the Great Pyramid, or simply The Pyramid. This is partly because of its superior size, but chiefly because of the extraordinary skill of workmanship which it displays…nevertheless the majority of visitors simply walk right past the Great Pyramid, to admire the Sphinx instead. As usual, the “Idol” receives the most attention and…

Now as we had alluded to earlier in a previous post once the “sloping” masonry was removed revealing the great angular stones another unique item was likewise discovered. Located in the cavity just below the bottom two angular stones was found some sort of emblem cut into the stone. What precisely this particular item represented however is not so clear. Some have suggested that it resembles an “eye” although personally I don’t see any such resemblance, perhaps some are a…

The following two illustrations with their various measurements are merely approximations and should not be taken as exact representations; nevertheless I believe they provide us with a general idea as to the overall size and dimension of the entrance. From what I’ve been able to gather thus far through my studies is there appears to be some variations to these measurements from one investigator to the next so determining the exact figures is rather difficult, however since this aspect of…

As we stand in awe at the masonry now exposed surrounding the entrance to the Great Pyramid questions begin to stir within our minds. Why and for what purpose? What was the architect thinking when he designed the entrance to the pyramid in the particular way in which he did? For as you recall at one time the pyramid entrance was completely covered in beautifully fitted and cut white casing stones with a door so perfectly concealed that for quite…

“The entrance or – if we take the view of the pharaoh – the exit of the pyramid of Khufu doesn’t lie in the exact middle of the northern pyramid flank but is offset by about 24 feet to the east on what used to be the 19th course- a specially thick stone layer, today it is the 16th course and several feet back from the pyramid face. At one time it was entirely covered with White Tura casing blocks,…

This is a picture of the north face of the Great Pyramid below right of the true entrance to the Pyramid is Al Mamoun’s force entrance now used as the main entrance to the Pyramid as the original entrance has been seal shut with a gate. “According to historical evidence, beautiful smooth limestone blocks, similar to those at the north base, encased the entire Pyramid till 820 A.D., when Caliph Al Mamoun, in his greed to gain possession of supposed…

The Great Pyramid is 454 feet high or (5478 pyramid inches above mean socket level), which is equivalent to a modern day 48-story building. It covers a little over 13 square acres or 568,500 square feet with a volume of 90,000,000 cubic feet. There are 201 courses or steps to its summit, another 31 feet 8 inches above this summit is the geometric apex formed by the corner edges of the projected casing masonry (shown in red). “If the average…

“The builders paid special attention to the corner stone’s. They had to support and absorb the enormous weight of the pyramid that pressed down and sideways. To achieve this, they have to interlock with the stones lying on top of them and below them. These stones were especially massive and reached far into the core masonry. Next a second course was laid on top. Each joint had to be overlapped not only by the stone on top but likewise by…

Let us now continue with our examination of the foundation structure of the Great Pyramid, once the central rock core and surface area around the central rock core (the fundament) had been thoroughly leveled (as depicted in our last post), the next step in the building process would be the establishment of the platform level and the pavement. “The payment is a distinct piece of masonry, and should not be confounded with the platform, the front edge of which projects…

“In the center (beneath the pyramid structure), the rock core is left standing but is terraced, so a rock outcropping with steps is left in the middle (depicted by the red line in the above illustration). This is important, because the rock core has a different coefficient of shrinkage than the stone blocks that are used for the pyramid body. If you don’t consider this fact, the structure will develop displacements and fissures. To avoid this you have to interlock…
