The Egyptology Primer
A Re-engineering of the Orthodoxy.


Step One:  Eliminating Orthodoxical Jargon

First things first.  In order to develop a fuller and more open-minded approach to the ancient Egyptians and other ancient civilizations, there are some assumptions that need to be eliminated from our vocabulary.  It is essential that we refrain from habitually using the terms 'temples' or 'tombs'.  Many of the so-called 'temples' and 'tombs' are simply labeled as such with no proof that they actually are so they could be and more than likely are something else.  In addition, we must forego descriptions of all oblong or rectangular carved stone boxes as 'sarcophagi'.  There are tombs and temples, but the convenience of describing structures not quite understood as such is highly abused.

Step Two:  Looking at the Ancients Through Different and Open Perspectives

Modern Egyptology's close-mindedness has locked out any other form of thought about ancient Egypt (I will give the reasons as to why momentarily) and a handful of dictatorial key figures denounce any new, fresh perspectives with an iron hand and tenacity the Bolsheviks would have been proud of.  Studies conducted by researchers with fresh ideas are allowed to take place but simply for the purpose of obtaining free information at the expense of the researchers.  The moment research indicates possible new findings, the researcher's permits are revoked, their studies are discontinued and the key figures who control Giza and other regions have received free information to use for their own purposes.  This is how the powerful overseers of antiquities in Egypt purloin or abscond ideas from other researchers.  A perfect example of this is the incident involving the Upuaut Project with Rudolph Gantenbrink in 1992 and 1993.  The pattern is always consistent in that when new research is about to reveal a dichotomy from orthodox Egyptology or something that may challenge the construct of the tomb, temple, burial chamber narrative, the shutdown ensues.  The reason why is that the typical framework of thought behind Egyptology in actuality is largely an unspoken diversion or hedge used to block or keep others from the real objectives of these authorities in charge of these ancient Egyptian territories.  The fettering of knowledge for personal gain has become commonplace in this era.  These individuals are doing exactly what they accuse others of.  They just want to be the first ones to the scene, the holders of the secrets from the rest of the world for their personal benefit.

Step Three:  Look for Technological and Practical Based Answers to Ancient Structures and Monuments 

Framing the ancients as fearful, ignorant ritualistic inferiors is absolutely false.  We arrogantly assume that because we exist later in time that we are superior.  In many ways, we are mentally microscopic compared to our forebears, lacking determination, precision, fortitude and the self-worth that the ancients possessed.  Mankind today has ignorantly turned his welfare over to machines and as such is controlled by them but still has the gaul to be arrogant.  Ancient man built with precision and geometry, we build with cheapness, imperfection, speed and quick profit.  The fact that many of ancient man's structures still remain with us today attests to the brilliance of their building standards.  Taking into account cataclysmic events that compounded the possibility of their annihilation, it is even more amazing to consider.  It is sad to consider the possibility that if a world-wide cataclysmic event were to occur today, there would be less evidence of modern man inhabiting the planet than of our ancient predecessors.  A more humble, respectful attitude is therefore required.  We must view the ancients with new perspectives and realize that pyramids, for example, may not have been tombs.  Since the use of pyramids are actually unknown, calling them tombs is inappropriate, short-sighted and a bit too tidy.  But absolutely essential for the cover story.  With the system that is now in place, the world may never know everything there is to know about our ancient heritage.  It is being hoarded by a select few and hidden from the rest of us.  Knowledge is power only if a few people are in possession of it.  Ancient man looked to the stars for different reasons, some are quite simple.  Man was compelled to use stone to leave messages that would survive for thousands of years.  Man was no different back then than he is now in his curiosity.  He looked into the sky and saw groups of stars return at night over and over again.  Then he thought of creatures and animals that the star groups looked like.  This survives until modern times and these constellation images can be seen in the Dendera Zodiac and even further back in antiquity.  We received our knowledge of the constellations from ancient man by his observation of them thousands of years ago.

Step Four:  Formulate Ancient Man's Perspective, not modern man's deceptions

All over Egypt, there are sphinxes (lions), statues of bulls and ram-headed statues.  All of these are associated with constellations.  Do sphinxes in Egypt represent the Age of Leo?  Do bull statues represent the Age of Taurus and ram-headed statues the Age of Aries?  The Age of Leo spanned approximately 11,000 B.C. to 8,000 B.C., the Age of Taurus spanned from 4,400 B.C. and 2,200 B.C and the Age of Aries ranged from 2,200 B.C. through about 100 B.C.  In between the Age of Leo and the Age of Taurus were the Ages of Cancer and Gemini.  Cancer is very similar to the Egyptian likeness of the Scarab beetle and the Age of Gemini, the twins are associated with duality (very essential in Egyptian thought).  Does the Dream Stela of the Great Sphinx display a depiction of the conception of Gemini's duality?  Are we looking at documentation in stone of ancient man's remembrance of these time periods?  Are these carvings lingering memory of the ancient ages of man, not some form of animal god worship?  This is literally proof-positive of ancient man telling us of their knowledge of the heavens eons ago.  But, alas, to the orthodoxy, these simpletons worshiped animals.  In a different light, however, revering the bull on earth because of the constellation of Taurus, the lion because of Leo, the ram because of Aries and so forth adds a different perspective altogether.  Our stargazing ancestors spanned the globe, carving likenesses of these constellations in stone.  Many civilizations from different areas of the earth have seen fit to document the stars and constellations in ancient times, not just the Egyptians.

The Age of Aries Remembered?
The Age of Taurus?
The Age of Cancer?
The ram-headed sphinx is directly connected to the constellation Aries.  Is this a reflection of its remembrance by the ancient Egyptians?  The Age of Aries spanned the time frame from 2,200 B.C. to 100 B.C.  A valid question would be: is modern man confused by these representations, seeing these things as some sort of worship when in actuality it may be a form of veneration of an age in the history of man?  Are we being told, "We were aware of the precession of the equinoxes and this is to show man, in the future, that we knew."
Does the sacred bull not just represent the ancient time when the constellation of Taurus rose on the vernal equinox but also the Age of Taurus itself?  The Age of Taurus was from 4,400 B.C. to 2,200 B.C.
The ancient Egyptians represented the constellation of Cancer with the scarab beetle.  Is the scarab beetle reminiscent of the Age of Cancer, not just the constellation?  It also is a constellation with similarities to the crab description we use today which isn't a big stretch from a scarab in terms of exoskeletal creatures.  The Age of Cancer was from approximately 8,600 B.C. to 6,450 B.C.  Are all these images carved in Egypt memories of historical periods immortalized by the Egyptians in stone?  Are these animals acknowledgement of previous ages when these symbols of constellations rose on the vernal equinox of each age?  If so, the history implied with this logic reveals a civilization that had recorded knowledge (for everyone to see) of previous ages going back for tens of thousands of years.

The Age of Leo Symbolized?
Let us not forget that the Great Sphinx is believed to originally have had the head of a lion.  The last time the constellation of Leo, the lion, appeared on the eastern horizon on the vernal equinox was 10,500 B.C. and the Age of Leo endured until about 8,000 B.C.  There is too much evidence here to be coincidental.  We can thus reasonably conclude that these likenesses and their mirrored images in the heavens are linked demonstrating astronomical study of a superior, advanced magnitude.  It is also reasonable to assume the ancient Egyptians inherited the knowledge of animal representations to describe certain constellations, knew of the precession of the equinoxes and acquired astronomy from earlier man.  Being the remnants of such, they continued to use the knowledge, writing messages for us to decipher in stone.

As above, so below.

Duality was as real to the ancient Egyptians as air and water.  Everything that can be found on the surface anywhere in Egypt, has something under it.  The Great Sphinx sits atop rooms and connecting tunnels that connect to other structures.  Underneath the pyramids are blocked tunnels that are part of this underground tunnel network.  The ancient Labyrinth near Crocodilopolis and Lake  Moeris was just as massive underground as it was on the surface and its existence was reported to us in detail by the historian Herodotus.  Recent evidence suggests the 'Temple' of Hathor has a lower level.  The tops of columns from underneath the structure can be seen where floor stones are dislodged at the floor level surface of the so-called temple.  This type of building is all over Egypt.  As above, so below.  This is part of the belief system of the Egyptians that is ignored, perhaps conveniently.  Many structures are interconnected by underground tunnels.  Some access from the surface is through vertical tunnels while others such the 'Tomb' of the Birds in Giza have cave-like entrances.  Massive underground networks span all of ancient civilized Egypt beckoning to be explored.  One question that begs to be answered is whether the Egyptians were the creators of these tunnels, partial creators or were these tunnels, shafts and underground complexes the work of an antediluvial hand.  To discourage any new or free thought about these topics, orthodox scholars ridicule anyone with challenging beliefs as they themselves control the ancient sites of Egypt.  And we know why.  It's not about the pure pursuit of understanding our ancient ancestors and investigated how they achieved feats of incredible magnitude in building, megalithic stone manipulation and mathematical precision that can stun builders of today.  The ancient Egyptians strongly believed in one thing that we can be certain of:  they held geometry and mathematics to such a high level of importance that it's mere existence in their work exudes sacred belief in measurement.  To clarify, when I say we can be certain that Egyptians believed in one thing that we can be certain of, all one has to do is measure their work with a measuring tape and a plumb bob.  The perfection is uncanny.

More to come...
