Extractions: Recently, an Internet site published a new hypothesis about the predestination of the famous Egyptian Pyramids. It was reportedt that a 49-year-old constructor named Gerald Dupont believes that the Pyramids were built for water desalination. Mr.Dupont has been investigating the subject for six years; he says that the time of the Cheops Pyramid (the highest one) construction coincides with the biblical epoch of the Great Flood. Ancient Egyptians probably constructed the huge distiller at that very time, when they were short of fresh water. Mr.Dupont has never been to Egypt himself, but he is an expert on the Pyramids, as he read lots of publications and even constructed a model of the Cheops Pyramid interior in a 10 to 60 proportion to the natural size pyramid. This man supposes that the underground room of the Pyramid was filled with water that was further boiled. The steam went up through the inner room of the Pyramid, which was of a construction convenient for the distillation process. Soon, Mr.Dupont plans to publish a book about his research. Sales of the book are expected to cover spending on the development of the hypothesis, which has exceeded $20,000 already. Some people may say the hypothesis is dull and prosaic. Probably they are right, as it is interesting to believe the Pyramids were constructed by extra-terrestrials.

Extractions: One of the mysteries of Egypt's Great Pyramid deepened early last September when archaeologists penetrated a 4,500-year-old blocked shaft only to find another stone blocking their way. During Pyramids Live: Secret Chambers Revealed, presented by the National Geographic Channel, Egyptologist Zahi Hawass used a robot to peer into a narrow shaft that opens into the queen's chamber of the Great Pyramid. Within the shaft Hawass found another stone block, possibly a door. "What we have seen tonight is totally unique within the world of Egyptology," Hawass said. "There is nothing to compare it to, as these passages are not in any other pyramids, with or without doors. The presence of a second door only deepens the intrigue surrounding the Great Pyramid." Inside the sarcophagus of a man identified as Ny Swt Wsrt, overseer of the pyramid builders' village, Egyptologist Zahi Hawass found an intact skeleton believed to be 4,500 years old.

Extractions: It is clear that archaeoastronomy is one very distinctive modern reception of megaliths . Astronomical interpretations of megaliths form part of the wider history culture and inform the cultural memory of our society. For Wolfgang Seidenspinner, archaeoastronomy can be seen as a modern equivalent to the old folktales about megaliths Often archaeoastronomers approach megaliths as ' denk-mals ' in the sense that the stones pose a riddle, or puzzle , to them, which needs to be solved. Many archaeoastronomers have considerable admiration for the achievements of the megaliths' builders, and sometimes they are perhaps also affected by a touch of nostalgia . More importantly, however, is the potential of megaliths for extensive quantitative

Extractions: Go to previous chapter, a Chronological list of Mechanical Inventions and Technical Contrivances BEFORE I take my leave of the public, I wish to put on record my speculations as to the origin of two subjects of remote antiquity, viz. : the Sun-ray origin of the Pyramids, and the origin of the Arrow-head or Cuneiform Character. First, with respect to the Sun-ray origin of the Egyptian Pyramids. In pursuing a very favourite subject of inquiry, namely the origin of forms, no portion of it appears to me to be invested with so deep an interest as that of the Worship of the Sun, one of the most primitive and sacred foundations of adorative religion, affecting as it has done, architectural structures and numerous habits and customs which have come clown to us from remote antiquity, and which owe their origin to its influence. On many occasions, while beholding the sublime effects of the Sun's Rays streaming down on the earth through openings in the clouds near the horizon, I have been forcibly impressed with the analogy they appear to suggest as to the form of the Pyramid, while the single vertical ray suggests that of the Obelisk. This is also intimately connected with lighted lamps and candles, which latter may often be met with in Continental churches, as well as in English Ritualist Churches at the present day. In Romish Continental churches they are stuck on to pyramidal stands, and placed before pictures and images of sacred personages. All such lighted lamps or candles are survivals of that most ancient form of worship, that of THE SUN!

The Great Pyramid of Khufu (circa 2600 BC) was the greatest of the Egyptian pyramids, which served as burial places of the pharaohs, particularly during the Old Kingdom. Some lists included all of the pyramids and the Sphinx as well. The great pyramids of Giza were built around 2700-2500 BC as tombs for the pharoahs (rulers of ancient Egypt, who held the status of gods on earth). The Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops to the Greeks) is the largest,pictured here in the center of the photograph, it covers 13 acres. It was constructed of around 2.3 million stones and each of the stones weigh from 2 to 30 tons each.

Extractions: This dynasty is well known due to the fact that the royal cemetery in Abydos was found in the 1890s. The tombs where all the pharaohs once were buried had all been robbed for most of their content, but the buildings were still standing almost intact under ground. Written remains left among the debris gave Egyptology the exact succession order for the rulers. The length of the dynasty is on the other hand a subject of discussion and the time span of reigns given in later records are for most kings very long and not entirely reliable. The whole dynasty seems to have been a stable period with constant progress in every part of society until the reign of Anedjib. Disagreements between supporters of the gods Horus and Set came to surface and went on until the very end when a notable decline came at the break into the next dynasty. In the archaeology column in the table below Narmer has been put in according to a couple of king lists on seals found in the cemetery in Abydos in the 1990s. Thereby reaching the figure given in later Egyptian king-lists - eight. The column with Manetho's figures give the duration of the reign after each name. The corresponding names however are in some cases far from certain, but the underlined ones (in black) seem to match quite well.

Extractions: If you want to have the pyramids all to yourself, you will have to get up very early in the morning, or else go on a long walk into the desert. And even there it won't be long before Muhammad, All or Abdu appear and try to persuade you to hire a ride on their animal, which depending on where you come from - will answer to the proud name of Bismarck, Napoleon or Nelson. But they may also sell postcards, souvenir papyri or offer themselves as a picturesque foreground for a photo of the pyramids. Click here for pictures of the Pyramids of Giza At seven o'clock in the morning the world is still "at peace": the caravanserei at the foot of the pyramids is still dozing quietly, and the pyramids and the Great Sphinx lie peacefully before you. As the day goes on the scene gets busier. But even the hustle and bustle, the school groups, tourists, traders and camel drivers have their own charm - albeit a very different one.

DID YOU KNOW ? The Rosetta stone is a stone tablet which contained the same passage of text in three different languages hieroglyphic, demotic Egyptian, and Greek. In 1799, a Frenchman named Jean Francois Champollion, who knew Greek, was able to match the Greek translation to the other two languages, and thus crack the code. You might find it interesting to know that The Rosetta Stone , one of the most precious antiquities from ancient Egypt, has also given insights into ancient Egyptian culture, the magical properties of hieroglyphs, and their relationship to Egyptian art.

Find out more Q1: What do you get traveling alone that you wouldn't get traveling with companions? As much as I enjoy traveling with others, there are many perks to traveling alone that make the trip a much more profound experience. Here are just a few: Freedom One of my favorite perks of solo travel is I begin to have "psychic" experiences. I feel as if my intuition is at its peak - my dreams have more clarity, I'll just "know" which road to take or who to approach with a question, etc. It's very exhilarating - I don't experience anything close to this while traveling with others. Liberation In day to day reality, our perceptions conform to the machinery of our lives and you can lose sight of who you are and what is possible. Also, with the constant dictates of the mass media and current trends about what's "hot," it's easy to be on autopilot and obey the constant onslaught of messages. But venturing out alone in a new country and culture - with the only thing familiar being your luggage - there is nothing binding you to an old identity or way of life. You can be anyone you want to be.

Extractions: Pyramids The pyramids of Giza are one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, in fact, it is the only surviving wonder from that ancient world. Everyone who saw the pyramids for the first time with me expressed their amazement, specially when they discovered that the pyramids are much bigger than they had imagined. From pictures, one would think they are in the middle of the desert, in fact, they are right on the edge Greater Cairo, the only reason Cairo hasn't surrounded them till now is the restriction on building due to the abundance of archaeological sites around the pyramids. More surprising is the fact that there are around 60 pyramids in Egypt, but no one ever gets to hear about most of the other smaller ones. For example, at Giza there are actually ten pyramids, not three, the other seven are very small and were probably made for the wives of the kings.

The Red Pyramid The Great Pyramid as viewed from the bent pyramid There are lots of pyramids in Egypt, but a lot of them are very small and therefore not famous.
