CELESTIAL PROPHECIES AND THE GREAT PYRAMID CELESTIAL PROPHECIES AND GREAT PYRAMID THE The gods and goddesses of Egypt, and the sages of other ancient cultures, left a legacy of prophecies and myths concerning cosmic cataclysms with major repercussions for Earth. Part 2 of 2 Curious watermark on the Great Pyramid nfortunately for the development of our story, Masoudi does not give the date of the lifetime of King Saurid Ibn Salhouk, saying only that he lived 300 years before a huge flood. This Arabic legend is one of many that conserve a tradition concerning the coming of a great deluge and attempts by leaders to preserve important information from its catastrophic effects. The external inscriptions on the Great Pyramid were the original and main source of extraordinary celestial knowledge, and that is probably one reason why the structure was built. It is important to remember that records of the ancient mystery schools insist that many Egyptian structures were constructed "partly to provide permanent Halls of Initiation, but also to act as treasure-house and shrine for some great talisman of power during a submergence which Initiates knew was impending" (W. Scott-Elliot, The Story of Atlantis, preface to the first edition by A. P. Sinnett, 1896, p. 38). The conclusion reached is that the record of "sea shells...calcified high" on the Great Pyramid, as written by Herodotus over 2,400 years ago, is evidence that the structure was erected before the deluge—a theory substantiated by Arabic traditions that have been too often disparaged or ignored by mainstream Egyptologists. The hypothesis that the Great Pyramid was mostly underwater some time during its long life is substantiated by the extraordinary fact, not openly discussed by Egyptologists, that at two-thirds of the distance up its faces there is a watermark running around all four surfaces of the structure. It is informative to note that the adjoining Pyramid of Khephren is devoid of a similar watermark, revealing that whatever caused the staining on the Great Pyramid occurred before Khephren's Pyramid was built. Interestingly, the surviving higher-level white casing stones on Khephren's Pyramid are irregular, jagged, thin and ill-fitting, and reveal an inferior construction in comparison to the substance of the adjoining Great Pyramid. Also of importance is the fact that the casing stones of Khephren's Pyramid are not adorned with "celestial spheres" and other striking information as were those of the Great Pyramid. Lost knowledge of Earth's future Sadly, in the 12th century, the entire 22 acres of white casing stones were stripped from the faces of the Great Pyramid to provide masonry for Cairo's mosques and fortifications. With their removal went the "secrets of the Heavens ... the history and chronicles of past times ... and that which is to come", once displayed for all to see upon the faces of the great white "walls of records" (E. Guimet, True Chronicles, c. 1480, tome xvii, p. 41, from older manuscripts, published by Bibliotheca Alexandrina).
