The Advent of Pyramidology
July 1, 2008
Many have held to the belief, over the centuries, that the purpose of the Great Pyramid was not as a tomb but that it’s real purpose was something. But the real purpose was not discovered until the end of the 1800’s.
The greater majority of those doubters ( that the pyramid was a tomb) felt that it was something more; something far greater.
During the middle ages mystics and star worshippers convened and had meetings inside the Pyramid believing they gained wisdom just from being on the inside. They would go into the King’s chamber thinking this was the most vital place to contact spiritual realities.
In 1774 Paul Lucas suggested that the Great Pyramid was built so as to serve as a sundial able to track the movements of the moon and the time of the solstices. Even earlier Carari and De Chazelles declared that the Great Pyramid was built for astronomical purposes.
The form of the Great Pyramid some even older theorists believed represented the diverging rays of the Sun on the earth. Writers in the latter part of the 1700’s and then into the next century maintained that the measurements of the sacred cubit exactly coincided with the days in a solar year.
However it wasn’t until 1840 that eminent Egyptologist Sir Gardner wilkinson threw doubt on the tomb-theory so far as the Great Pyramid was concerned. Suggesting even further that perhaps the Great Pyramid wasn’t even built by the Egyptians!
