LE: So you recently came back from Egypt, and you met with the appropriate people? BS: Yes. I met with several Egyptians who are representing me and helping me to put a project together which would be an Egyptian search for Egyptian history. If it turns out to be Atlantis, then that's great. I am a film-maker. I try to divorce myself from the thousand-and-one agendas that seem to find their way over to the plateau. The other side of it is that in the eight years I spent there, I have discovered something on my own by bringing a couple of ex-NASA scientists over there. We found that there is a pattern of sonic reso- nance inside the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid. We suspect that this sonic resonance is enhanced by the entire structure and by the materials used in the structure. If that is true, then that would be evidence that there was a scientific logic employed in the building of the Pyramid which predates our knowledge of this sort by seven or eight thousand years. In other words, if the Pyramid was built as a giant resonance box, and if the choice of materials and the dimensions were carefully studied and the effects had a purpose, that would offer a lot more proof of the existence of an advanced civilisation. That would be better proof than some tablet that says "Made in Atlantis by the Atlanteans". My feeling is that while we are seeking to get into the Hall of Records room under the Sphinx's paw, which is what the American television networks will buy and which will create the kind of funding that we need, I can sneak into the show some appropriate scientific facts about this sonic resonance which is as indicative of the existence of a highly advanced culture as tablets in the Hall of Records would be. My talk at the Global Sciences Congress will be an effort to point out that evidence of this culture might not have been hidden or buried; maybe it is there and we just haven't recognised it. It is only recently that we have acquired the sensitive equip- ment that we need to record some of the sounds, because some of them are below the range of human hearing. BS: Above the King's Chamber there are five chambers. Four of the chambers are a little bit bigger than the King's Chamber; they are longer and wider. They are about 3% feet high, so you can't stand up in them. The fifth chamber has a peaked ceiling. The chambers are all cov- ered with graffiti, and the graffiti dates back to 1815. The top chamber was dis- covered in 1837. They are quite difficult to get to, and you have to know a little about rock-climbing to get to them. A few years ago [1993], Rudolf Gantenbrink passed a robotic camera up one of the air shafts; I believe it was the one in the Queen's Chamber. At the end of this chamber, the camera came to what was described as "a door with bronze hinges". There is a theory by Richard Hoagland and others that there is a room on the other side of this little door. What Hoagland is claiming is that the Egyptians have been tunnelling to reach that room. When we were going up to investigate those chambers, there was in fact a new tunnel which was being excavated which is parallel to the long dimension of the first of the four chambers above the King's Chamber. The dirt and stone from this tun- nel were being stored one floor above. Richard saw something sinister in that; I didn't. I think that by storing the rocks one chamber up, they didn't have to dispose of it. If they had lowered the rock, they would have had to take it all the way down the steps and all the way out of the Pyramid or else it would have interfered with the tourist flow. They are now obviously doing more work, because there is now a 220-voltage power cord going up there and it's warm to the touch, which means it is being used for something. Are they honour-bound to tell us? No, I don't think so. It's their country. Frankly, I think they are going to embark on a policy of bombarding the news with new discoveries because, otherwise, who would go to Egypt now? That slaughter at Luxor was colossal. It was ugly and it was scary. There are no tourists in Egypt now. There were 10 guests at Mena House and 11 at the Nile Hilton when I was there. So I think we are going to see a lot of informa- tion coming out now. LE: Your position is that they can be tunnelling in secret, and they don't have to report it. They don't owe anyone an expla- nation. Is it common knowledge in the countryside that they are doing this, dig- ging and exploring? BS: You can make a whole big case out of it. They are tunnelling all over the plateau. They are doing it to the extent that they have the money to do it. It's common knowledge. Zahi Hawass has never said to me, in the eight years I've known him: "You can't go in there and film that, Boris. On two separate occasions I was given per- mission to drag a six-man crew up there. I haven't been the victim of any plots. LE: Tell us about the tunnelling in the Great Pyramid that is the basis of a recent article in the publication Atlantis Rising. You are reported to have filmed the tunnel RECTANGLE BERMUDA area. APRIL - MAY 1998 NEXUS 63
