Note that in recent decades, archeological evidence is being discovered that is destroying many of the beliefs concerning Pyramids and other ancient peoples. There is practically no place on earth that does not have ancient ruins and pyramids. Pyramids and significantly larger skeleton remain of large humanoids that are exactly like mankind of today, except in height, are being unearthed in almost every place in the world.
In North America, there have been many pyramids found and 8 to 10 feet human skeletons or mummies were found that are being dated back 4,000 to 9,000 years old where in some cases the people had red hair and even determined to have blue eyes with light colored skin of possibly a European ancestry. This is very significant because the commonly taught theory is the Americas were settled first by people who were not of European ancestry. This author has been fascinated by the archeological digs and will write on this topic at another time.
Note that this author also believes that people of every ethnicity have most likely travelled and lived in every place in the world in history, where over time specific visual traits become primary. God created absolutely every one of us equal and we are to love everyone with the love God has shown us through Jesus Christ. This author has recreationally travelled to five continents thus far and have thoroughly enjoyed the people and experiences.
Falavius Josephus in his book The Antiquities of the Jews refers to a brick pillar made by Seth which survives the Great Flood. The question proposed, since this writing by Josephus, is what object on the Earth could still be intact after the Great Flood? The possible answer is the Great Pyramid of Egypt. This excerpt does not mean, beyond doubt, that Seth built the Great Pyramid but it is something that many have argued. Note that in the excerpt below from Josephus, Siriad is modern day Egypt.
In William Whiston's notes on his translation, one of his footnotes concerning these Pillars:
| "(10) Of Josephus's mistake here, when he took Seth the son of Adam, for Seth or Sesostris, king of Egypt, the erector of this pillar in the land of Siriad, see Essay on the Old Testament, Appendix, p. 159, 160. Although the main point of this relation might be true, and Adam might foretell a conflagration and a deluge, which all antiquity witnesses to be an ancient tradition; nay, Seth's posterity might engrave their inventions in astronomy on two such pillars; yet it is no way credible that they could survive the deluge, which has buried all such pillars and edifices far underground in the sediment of its waters, especially since the like pillars of the Egyptian Seth or Sesostris were extant after the flood, in the land of Siriad, and perhaps in the days of Josephus also, as is shown in the place here referred to." |
To argue from the other side of the William Whiston's footnote, if God intended for anything to survive the Great Flood, then that is God's prerogative. Possibly the only other example, in terms of immenseness which we are able to see today, is the Great Flood creating the Grand Canyon, which by William's theory possibly should have been flattened out. As you may be aware and ancillary to the Great Pyramid, there are some very world renowned Christian Scientific Research organizations who have very interesting computer models of the Grand Canyon's creation by the Great Flood along with many canyons in the bottom of the oceans that make the Grand Canyon look small. Recently, there is scientific research stating there are vast oceans of water, that are larger than the oceans on the surface, which are in the Earth being stored in a plasma state in what is called ringwoodite.
Some secular references credit the Pharaoh Cheops as the creator of the Great Pyramid between 3969 and 3908 BC. Still other secular sources have the Great Pyramid created around 2250 BC. Ancient writers Herodotus and Manetho give some different accounts on dates and Pharaohs that are also different. It is interesting that some theories have Pharaoh Cheops closing temples and stopping sacrifices to gods during his reign, which a few Biblical Scholars theorize that this could mean Pharaoh Cheops was actually Enoch.
Note:
Some research works have stated that Pharaoh Cheops may be also known as Khufu but this is suspect and in this author's opinion absolutely not true. Additionally, there was a fraud inside a mortuary chamber by a British explorer Col. Richard Howard Wyse in 1837, who apparently painted Kufu's name in it. The theory is Wyse did this fraud to secure funding for the expedition by proving that he found something that no one else had yet discovered. The place where the supposed discovery occurred was originally explored by a Nathaniel Davidson in 1765 where Nathaniel did not report Khufu name anywhere.
Some researchers have theorized that Pharaoh Cheops was actually Enoch because of some vague writing that seem to point to Cheops visiting the Nile River near the Great Pyramid and then never being heard from again. As a Believer in the God of the Bible, then there is a very weak attempt to have corroboration evidence with Enoch being a Pharaoh who was stopping sacrifices to gods. As we know from the Scriptures concerning Enoch, was he walked with God for 300 years and then was taken, Raptured, by God. Pharaoh Cheops not being heard from again does not make the theory true and this author is very skeptical on this theory.
The very weak conjecture of the two men being the same, is based on Genesis 5:22- 24.
| Genesis 5:22- 24 | 22 After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked faithfully with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23 Altogether, Enoch lived a total of 365 years 24 Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away. |
It is this author's opinion that the Great Pyramid was created before the times of the Pharaohs. Furthermore, the identity of the builder or builders was purposely hidden. Additionally, because of the absence of any hieroglyphics (discussed below), there was a significant purpose that is more than the traditional theories.
As long as there has been archeological research into the Great Pyramid, the true purpose has not been ascertained. There are certainly several burial chambers inside the Great Pyramid where the most well-known is the King's Chamber. The two most prominent questions are:
According to Herodotus, the Great Pyramid had smooth stone work. When looking at this translation in https://www.cheops-pyramide.ch/khufu-pyramid/herodotus.html we read:
Notice that Herodotus makes mention of figures, not of gods, carved on the stone but he doesn't give a description of the figures which may have been placement indicators. From many recent archeological investigations, there is very workable theories on how blocks were transported on the exterior to the interior of the Great Pyramid which would also possibly require placement directions. Regarding the smooth service, it is a possibly that indicates it:
Throughout all the ancient stone temples and tombs found in the Egyptian area along with the unearthed ancient Jewelry, there is always carvings with religious significance. The Great Pyramid, as of the date of this writing, appears to have no such stone carvings to give honor to gods. This is very significant and mysterious which is why many Biblical Scholars believe in the theories of the Great Pyramid being built to honor one God.
The two scriptures that some Christians believe are pointing to the theory that the Great Pyramid is mentioned in the Bible are:
| Isaiah 19: 19-20 | 19 In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the heart of Egypt, and a monument to the Lord at its border. 20 It will be a sign and witness to the Lord Almighty in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the Lord because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior and defender, and he will rescue them. |
| Jeremiah 32:20 | You performed signs and wonders in Egypt and have continued them to this day, in Israel and among all mankind, and have gained the renown that is still yours. |
Notice that the location of the Great Pyramid is on the border between the upper and lower kingdom of Egypt.
Do these two scriptures point to the Great Pyramid as some have speculated? Remember that the scriptures often have dual meanings like those concerning Lucifer. Certainly, the Jeremiah passage is referring to the Exodus but does it also refer to the Great Pyramid because of the words "continued them to this day"?
Many Biblical Scholars have three primary points when arguing against the Pillar being the Great Pyramid in Isaiah 19:
While the first two points are valid and true, the third point cannot be definitely relied upon as no matter what is said by Archeologists concerning who built it as there is no definitive proof on who built the Great Pyramid. The Great Pyramid may not have been designed and built by a Pagan architect. Note that even if Seth did build the Great Pyramid, it doesn't mean that Isaiah 19: 19 is referring to the Great Pyramid.
It almost goes without saying but needs to be mentioned, that the true inspiration for all of mankind is the God of the Biblical Scriptures. If there is a scripture that points to everything we see in the universe, which could apply to the Great Pyramid, then it might be:
| Romans 1:20 | For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. |
This writer of this topic has mixed feelings about the builder. Furthermore, this author cannot definitely say yes or no as to the Great Pyramid being referred to in the Scriptures. Also, this author cannot endorse any other information detailed about the Great Pyramid as originating from God from any other documentation. If the Great Pyramid was known to be a monument to the God of the Scriptures, then it has been lost as of the date of the writing on this topic.
These bullet items, are not an exhaustive list of the mathematical equations discovered dealing with the Great Pyramid. They are based on several abbreviated excerpts from Books, which may contain some miss-calculations but are still worthy of some evaluation. Take into consideration that with any structure being built, what are the chances of us getting so many details accomplished, over 4,000 years ago, without very advanced thinking, tools and knowledge?
Starting around the 1920s and 1930s there were many attempts to equate dates with the measurements of the Great Pyramid to predict many things including the Rapture of the Church. One of the more common methods was using inch measurements to correspond to years.
The basis of this was using a line starting from the slab of granite in the Antechamber to the base of the Grand Gallery which then intersects with an imaginary line from a side of the Great Pyramid. Next an assumption was made that mankind started 4000BC and then using the intersection, of the imaginary line, to point with some calculations, the birth of Christ was then established as an anchor point. As another example, using more measurements, WWI was pinpointed. Without going further into many of the details, refer to other sources for the calculations and how a prediction was made to when the Rapture would occur. The author of this Topic recalls three very familiar anecdotal sayings used in the Computer Software Engineering Realm:
This of course makes it sound like this author is ridiculing theories based on measurements, but actually, the points dealing with the calculations:
As always pointed out by this author, our authority is the written Word of God and nothing else can contradict or supersede it. Also, an admonition to always remember is Revelation 22:19.
| Revelation 22:19 | and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book |
One other interesting part (this author is not endorsing it) of the calculations is the theory that the time span, found in the calculations, points to a 25,826-year span of the Earth being in existence. In this time span theory, the unexplained years are "assigned" to the "Gap Theory" of Genesis 1:1-2. In other words, the 18,000 plus years are when the Earth lay void before God began the complete "rebuilding/redesign/creation", assuming there has been 6000 plus years of mankind on the earth. The 6000 plus years comes from adding up the years of Generations listed in the Scriptures up until the time of Jesus the Christ and then adding an additional 2000 plus years since that time.
Some Scriptures to consider:
| Proverbs 25:2 | It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter. |
| Romans 1:30 | For his invisible attributes, that is, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what he has made. As a result, people are without excuse. |
| Matthew 24:36 | But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. |
There are new theories that are emerging that the previously thought of air shafts that come out of the Great Pyramid are both:
The hydrogen power theory has absolutely zero credibility because there not any evidence. The hydrogen power theory is based on the theory that the air shafts were communication channels requiring hydrogen channeling. Therefore the hydrogen power theory is based on believing in the second part of the theory of the air shaft pointing to star constellations, that require hydrogen power to send communications as part of the theory. This theory on air shafts pointing to any star constellation has already been proven to be incorrect. See this excellent analysis link from Ancient Origins, by Ralph Ellis, that discusses the the communication channel aspect. If the link is missing, click here.

From Edge's AI on "great pyramid shafts": King’s Chamber Air Shafts: Located within the north and south walls of the King’s Chamber, these narrow shafts are sometimes referred to as “air shafts.” They face each other and are positioned approximately 0.91 meters (3.0 feet) above the chamber floor and 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) from the eastern wall. The dimensions of these shafts are intriguing: they have a width of 18 to 21 centimeters (7 to 8.5 inches) and a height of 14 centimeters (5.5 inches). Initially, it was assumed that these shafts served as ventilation passages during the pyramid’s construction. However, doubts arose because the shafts do not extend all the way to the pyramid’s exterior. Additionally, the intentional placement of stones obstructs their path, making it unlikely that they were used for stargazing or ventilation. In 2010, a robot explored one of these shafts and discovered a small chamber with red ochre markings on the floor, followed by another large stone blocking the way 1. Theories of Purpose: Orion’s Belt Connection: Some theories suggest that the south shaft pointed toward Orion’s Belt during the pyramid’s construction. However, this alignment couldn’t have been used for actual star observation due to the blockages. North Circumpolar Stars: Another hypothesis proposes that the north shaft was meant to point toward the north circumpolar stars, often called “The Indestructibles.” These stars were associated with eternity and the afterlife in ancient Egyptian beliefs. |

In some areas of research on the Great Pyramid, there is the theories that if the pyramid or any other ancient pyramids had originally:
then the pyramid would be capable of creating electrical energy and also being a radio transmitter.
We know from common scientific sources, regarding the electrical charges:

The following chart is based on research obtained from several old sources:

There are currently many modern-day small pyramids built in places like Russia where people come to seek healing and enhancement of general health by going inside the modern-day small pyramids. The theories behind it are based on the shape and size of the pyramid focuses energy which our bodies, plants, animals and even possibly machines can gain energy.
Because of research in this area, there have been other interesting theories about the Great Pyramid and other pyramids that if it were possible to harness the energy inside the pyramids, then there could be hyperspaces or inter-dimensional doorways to other parts on either Earth or the Universe. These theories have fueled many science fiction books, TV series and movies like Stargate.
Note that this author does not believe in the possibility for inter-dimensional doorways in pyramids, but mentions it to make the reader aware, plus our biological design does not allow the ability to enter higher dimensions of reality. As of 2018, scientific analysis has theorized that we live in a 10-dimensional universe that includes the perceived four dimensions of length, width, depth and time.
The earth literally has pyramids almost everywhere that:
There are several Pyramids in China that have been purposely covered up by the Communist Government. Some speculation is they were covered up to eliminate the people believing in a different China ancestry that involved pyramids.
The Mayans, as of 2018, built the greatest number of pyramids that total approximately 80. In some very controversial and highly speculative photos, regarding Antarctica, some images are being said to be of a pyramid buried in the ice that is in ruins.
There is the belief that all or some of the ancient pyramids, which includes the Great Pyramid, could have created electromagnetic energy and made sort of a modern-day power grid that allows electricity to be readily available almost anywhere in the world. The problem is none of the existing pyramids are in the original state with metal capacitors on top of the pyramid which is part of what would be necessary for power to be created and shared in a modern-day power grid.
Note that there are more elaborate theories that involve water in the base of a pyramid to cause a compression wave, along with zinc and hydrochloric acid to create power through the tunnels. From modern day experiments with hydrochloric acid and zinc, the two chemicals generate a hydrogen flammable gas with a byproduct of zinc chloride which is salt. This gas, by no means generates electricity from anything visible or found in any pyramid; but some theorist point to salt reservoirs found nearby some pyramids.
The Serapeum of Saqqara is located north-west of the Pyramid Djoser, the Step-Pyramid. It appears to be a burial place under the ground, that is approximately 70 feet long with alcoves, which contains twenty-five sarcophagi of granite. These sarcophagi are similar to a coffin but with a very large lid, weighing between 70 to 100 tons. The speculation is these boxes were coffins for sacred god-bulls because the remains of one bull was found in one of the boxes, which is very speculative just because one sarcophagus had the remains of a bull.
The mystery of Serapeum is the weight, the drawings on the outside of the sarcophagi and the perfectly smooth sides and tops of the granite sarcophagi that a modern-day T-Square shows perfect 90-degree angels from sides to the cover. The Serapeum are mentioned in this topic because this is another example of unexplained relics that defy explanation on how a sarcophagus, when dealing with ancient technology, could have been created, moved and what was the purpose.
There is a theory, often given by many articles, websites and old books, that if the Great Pyramid had a cap area covered in metal, then because of the height, mass and metal, the Great Pyramid would be a conductor of wireless electrical energy for use in machinery that included the flying objects depicted in many of the ancient carvings in the ancient Egyptian Structures. It was rumored that Nikola Tesla even mentioned this but the writer couldn't find a reference at the time of this writing albeit heard this information during a lecture in the 1980s.
Regarding the possible UFO aspects mentioned by some secular archeologists, there is a belief for the theory, by them, because of the carving of an ancient god of Egypt Ra or (Re) that was said to be able to fly by his own means or on winged chariot. Ra is inscribed on all the lesser pyramids and tombs, but not the Great Pyramid. Sa-Ra was said to be Ra's son and had the same abilities. The conjecture is that there was some sort of vehicles that used the Great Pyramid for energy to fly in the air and even out into space. People who believe in this theory, point to the carvings depicting Ra with a possible flying vehicle and wearing a space helmet. In some areas of Christianity, there is the belief that Ra was a Fallen Angel that participated in the forbidden action of taking women as wives to create the Nephilim as mentioned in Genesis 6:2.
Note that this author would state the following:
| Genesis 11:5-7 | 5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” |
Here is a PDF version of a great summary by Jack Kelley who argues in favor of the Great Pyramid being the alter referred to in Isaiah 19:19.
