The Epoch of the Great Pyramid
July 29, 2008
A religious monument is not usually a product of its own local epoch, but the epoch was technically and artistically capable of expressing the origins of a past golden age. Stone monuments tend to express an age that preceded the time of it’s construction. Hence, the Great Pyramid was determined to be a time capsule.
When considering, for example, the architectural design of Sir Christopher Wren in the design of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, it can be seen that he used modern technology and art along with symbolism which expressed Christianity at it core.
Christianity had its epoch when Jesus roamed the land of Israel, and the Cathedral is a later epoch expression of it in a new found ability to materially express it. It would be ridiculous to say that the Christian religion was created by the epoch of the cathedral. The same can be said of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. It too was a later expression of a former epoch.
Since artists such as Michelangelo, and Architects such as Wren were able to draw upon ideas from the 1st to the 5th century A.D. , how old could have been the religious ideas that were incorporated into the building of the Great Pyramid. Perhaps hundreds of years, and maybe even longer.
