CELESTIAL PROPHECIES AND THE GREAT PYRAMID CELESTIAL PROPHECIES AND GREAT PYRAMID THE Ancient documents suggest that the Great Pyramid was already old long before the other pyramids were built on the Giza Plateau, and that it was once covered with inscribed casing stones that foretold of cataclysms yet to engulf the Earth. Part 1 of 2 Carved inscriptions that adorned the original casing stones of the Great Pyramid of Giza revealed the future of Planet Earth—but what did they say? Maybe the recently discovered prophecies of the Egyptian gods and goddesses provide the answer. f all the mysteries on Earth, the Great Pyramid stands foremost of all; and because of its nature, more has been written about it than any other structure known. But what actually is this huge structure...and why was it built? To answer these questions, and to fully comprehend the profundity of the structure, it is important to gain an insight into the most essential and fundamental belief of the ancient Egyptians, one that underpinned their religious thought for thousands of years. This belief was in what they called the "Reign of the Gods", a tantalising term that implies there was something celestial or supernatural about Egypt's ancient rulers. In essence, therefore, this article propounds that a people of a higher intelligence once came into Egypt and were bearers of an arcane knowledge. In Egyptian tradition they were called the "Company of Gods". If we understan and accept the eternal validity of the sacred literature of the priests of the ancient temples, then this interpretation of the past offers a new perception of realities of bygone times. Around 1450, a sensational book called The Histories appeared an captivated the intelligentsia in an intriguing and enduring mystery. It was written by the Greek historian Herodotus (c. 484 — c. 430 BCE), who travelle to Egypt several times to research the history of that country. His work was a revelation to Renaissance scholars, for his findings were unknown in the West until the great pioneering humanist critic Lorenzo Valla (1407-1457) translate his records into Latin. In his book, Herodotus records a detailed description of not only "the gods and goddesses of Egypt" but also the earliest available descriptions of the Great Pyramid and the wonders that surrounded it (The Histories, Paris, 1592 edition). What today stands as a crumbling ruin, he saw in something nearer its original splendour and, even then, some 2,400 years ago, its unique nature left him "perplexed" (ibid.). The "inscribed marvel" In writing about his seven-year visit to Egypt from 449 BCE, Herodotus specifically notes that the Great Pyramid was faced with brilliant-white casing stones, whose joins were so fine that they could scarcely be seen at close range, making the structure appear as one solid piece of white stone. He says that they were "polished to perfection" and emblazoned with "signs and symbols of a great wonder to me" (ibid.). He calls the Great Pyramid "the inscribed marvel" and asks with astonishment: "From whereth came the aptitude for this amazing thing?" (ibid.) Other ancient documents also confirm that the casing stones were originally Website: NEXUS ¢ 53 by Tony Bushby © June 2008 http:/Avww.tonybushby.com AUGUST — SEPTEMBER 2008 www.nexusmagazine.com
