The great pyramid of Giza from a different perspective

Jan 14, 2010 4 Comments by Core Admin

According to standard orthodox Egyptology the pyramid complex on the Giza plateau are funerary structures of the three Pharaohs from the fourth dynasty approximately 2575 – 2465 BC. The Great Pyramid is attributed erroneously to Khufu (Cheops) – with the other two being those of Khafre (Chephren) and Menkaura (Mycerinus).

Author Miroslav Verner writing in The Pyramids stated:

“To suppose that the pyramid’s only function in ancient Egypt was as a royal tomb would be an oversimplification.”

This is now more true than ever and I am of the opinion that if the pyramids, or more specifically the Great pyramid, was built solely for burial purposes of the given King (Khufu/Cheops) then it was and will remain an unprecedented farce. It is simply unimaginable that so much effort be placed into building an architectural structure of such gargantuan proportions, with such amazing astronomical alignments, with such perfect precision, by thousands of human souls, all for the one purpose of burying their God-King.

It’s usefulness – naught, it’s usability, zilch. The rotating kitchen was quite an eye catcher.

It will keep rotating slowly till February 28th 2010.
