cannot be inserted between them. Obviously those early stonemasons were superb craftsmen. And obviously there were a lot of them in order to undertake and complete such enormous tasks. When there is a mystery which can't be logically explained by science, cults develop which create explanations of their own. Our Atlantophiles naturally agree that the Egyptians didn't build the pyramids at all. Our UFO buffs claim they were built by the wonderful space people. suggested: Levitation is the only feasible answer. I believe that this lifting machine was a spaceship, probably of vast proportions; that it brought colonists to various parts of the Earth, probably from other terrestrial areas; that it supplied the heavy lift power for erecting great stone works; and that it was suddenly destroyed or taken away. Such a hypothesis would underwrite all of the movements o£ stone over which archaeologists and engineers have pon-, dered. This presents us with a splendid contradiction. If some super-society in the sky had the technology to build a spaceship 'of vast proportions' and fly it all the way to our humble planet, why would they have the need to play around with stone blocks? If they wanted to leave behind evidence of their visit, they did a poor job of it, for we never have figured out the real meaning of these monoliths. Couldn't they have engraved a nice little message for us inside the Great Pyramid, explaining the whole thing in seventy-five languages? The only carvings found inside the Great Pyramid are a few little scratchings in the roof of the upper chamber which archae- ologists regard as stonemason marks. Similar marks have been For centuries the spirit mediums and the percipients who have chatted with ghostly Atlanteans have told us that the Great Pyramid really contains a hidden chamber which is crammed with 1" re oT 1 ’ 1 a re a sbowen goodies that will explain everything to us when the proper time comes, fjot wishing to be left out, many flying saucer contactees have repeated the same promise. An anthropologist named George Hunt Williamson wrote in the early 1950s: The builders of the Great Pyramid buried one of their great spaceships near the structure. It wiU be revealed - no doubt within a comparatively short time - that there are many secret chambers within the Great Pyramid and that its true entrance lies under the silent object that is like a lion and yet like a man... the Sphinx! It will not remain silent much longer.. | On February 9th, 1960, a fertilizer salesman named Reinhold Schmidt was picked up by a flying saucer and flown to Egypt, according to his pamplet. Edge of Tomorrow. The friendly space people conducted him on a tour of those hidden chambers where he saw, among other things, the true cross on which Christ had died. He was also shown ‘thirty-two tablets of a heavy-quality paper, rather dark in colour... imagine my surprise when I found the events of the past, present, and future there described in modern day English, in black ink, and written in beautiful 1 1 1 longhand.' Morris K. Jessup, an astrophysicist and an early student of urology, reviewed the question and found in other structures. Maybe they are just the ancient equivalent of "Kjlroy was here".
