Chapter 13 - The Pyramid of Giza
The Masons have agreed with the Egyptians that Osiris, one of their gods, was a deity. For instance, Albert Mackey wrote rule "Osirus was the sun..." 244
Sun-gods all over the world have had temples erected to their memory, and as a place where, they might be worshipped.
Osirus was no exception.
The Masons are aware of this penchant for temple building as a place for god worship. In October 1953, a Mason wrote the following in the NEW AGE MAGAZINE, the magazine published by the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry: "If perchance you were to visit the Great Pyramid of Gizeh [also spelled Giza]... you would be presented with a souvenir stating that Osiris commanded Thalmes to build him a house in the form of a pyramid with certain designated passageways." 245
Some in Egypt claim that the Great Pyramid was not built as a tomb for a deceased pharaoh, but as a temple for initiation into sun worship. There is now a growing body of evidence to support that claim.
But, it is important to set the stage for that conclusion first by examining that evidence.
(The author would like to make a few comments at this juncture. It is not my purpose to convince the reader that these comments about the purpose of the pyramid are correct.
I am only attempting to convince you that these sun-worshippers consider them to be true. And, because they do, they are making plans for our future. And those plans should concern each reader of this material because, as I am attempting to point out, the overall changes they are arranging are going to alter the very way all of us live our lives. And, I for one, do not care for the plans being made.)
There are some who claim that the pyramid was constructed about six thousand years ago, and not about three thousand years ago as most archaeologists believe.
One who makes that claim is Richard W. Noone in his book entitled, 5/5/2000. Mr. Noone's book is not about pyramids as such, but about his claims that massive changes will occur on the earth on that date in the year 2000 due to a change in the alignment of five planets near to the earth.
This will not be the place to comment on his charges.
However, he has done considerable research into the pyramids as part of his studies.
He has pointed out that the word for "pyramid" in ancient Egypt was "glorious light," once again connecting the pyramid with the sun and the sun-god Osiris.
Manly P. Hall stated that he too believed that the pyramid was constructed for some purpose other than for the burial of a pharaoh. He wrote: "The Pyramids [notice that he capitalizes the word] - the great Egyptian temples of initiation." 246
He also wrote that he knew what the initiation ceremony was for: "... the illumined of antiquity... entered its portals as men; they came forth as gods." 247
There are many now who believe that an individual named Khufu built the Great Pyramid. The name, according to Mr. Noone, is "phonetically similar to the ancient Egyptian word for the Great Pyramid, Khuti, meaning 'Glorious Light.'" 248
Some writers on the pyramid have indicated that their research has led them to the conclusion that the pyramid has a concealed time table built into its passageways. Max Toth is one of these authors,
and he has written this in his book entitled, PYRAMID PROPHECIES: "The prophecies of the ancient masters are located into the pyramid form..." 249
It is the opinion of Mr. Noone that there is only one prophecy" that should be examined, and it is this one: "Beginning at the geometrical point beneath the pyramid arris edge [defined as two straight lines coming together at an angle] meets the projected floor line of the ascending passage, we have a straight line that runs up the ascending passage and Grand Gallery.
This line measured 6,000 inches." 250
(For those not familiar with these terms, the pyramid is entered through a passageway called the Descending Passageway.
This meets with a passageway, going up into the pyramid, called, obviously, the Ascending Passage, at the end of which are several rooms. So, here the author is describing a line down the Grand Gallery, through the ground under the pyramid, where it meets with a line coming down the outside of the pyramid. The line, from the point where these two lines meet, back up the inside line, and where it meets the rooms at the top of the passageway, measures 6,000 inches.
The significance of this measurement will be explained in some of the following paragraphs. The important thing to notice here is that this 6000 inch line is truly hidden: it does not exist in reality. It is hidden under ground with no apparent existence. It is truly a hidden prediction.)
Joseph Carr, a writer on the Nazi Party of Adolf Hitler and its connections with sun worship, wrote about an experience an individual had inside the pyramid: "In April, 1904 an English Buddhist named Aleister Crowley visited Cairo...
Rose Edith Crowley [his wife] asked her husband to perform a magical ritual... [He] obeyed by saying the prayer of invocation to Horus [another Egyptian sun-god.] He later claimed that a being appeared to him during that hour [and] announced to [him] that the old age was passing away, and a New Age was dawning.
Also revealed to Crowley was that the religion of the New Age could not take its place until the old religion [presumably Christianity] was smashed." 251
So, here we see a connection between the pyramid, sun-worship and the New Age.
One of the proofs that the pyramid was not constructed as a burial chamber is the fact that both of the two large rooms inside the pyramid, the so-called "King's chamber" and the "Queen's chamber," have vent ducts leading from inside the rooms to the outside of the pyramid. This had led many to believe that the ducts were meant to provide air for human occupants. Some of these writers have expressed their opinions in the books that they have written. One of these is Wilfred Gregson, an architect and a 33rd degree Mason, who wrote this: "Obviously the idea was to get air moving into the pyramid. You can't exist very long breathing stagnant air. So my principle is that this was a temple of initiation." 252
Manly P. Hall, a fellow Mason, agreed with Mr. Gregson, when he wrote this comment: "... there seems to be no reason why a legitimate tomb should have air vents going from the King's chamber [as well as the Queen's chamber] out to the surface." 253
Another writer on the pyramid, Andre Pochan, has written in his book THE MYSTERIES OF THE GREAT PYRAMID: "If the two conduits [into the King's chamber]
were originally ventilation ducts, the unavoidable conclusion is that the Great Pyramid's upper chamber was not the site of the royal sepulcher.
Continuous ventilation would have inevitably resulted in not only the putrefaction of the mummy, but also the rapid destruction of all the funerary furniture indispenable to the deceased for his life to the beyond." 254
Mr. Noone connected the great pyramid in Egypt with the symbolism of the pyramid in Mexico, called the Pyramid at Chichen-Itza: "the temple at the East of the quadrangle has a great many repeats of a huge sun burst, from the middle of the sun burst is the huge head of a serpent whose mouth is open.
This needs little explanation.
The sun representing 'God' and the serpent 'His Divine Wisdom,' holds man's head so that he can neither see the serpent 'Divine Wisdom,' nor the Light of God from which it comes." 255
Mr. Noone is saying that the serpent is attempting to keep man from understanding that the god was Lucifer, in the form of a sun burst.
But there is another mystery concealed inside the Great Pyramid that must be explored.
The pyramid appears to have been built to memorialize the explosion of a great star 4,000 years ago.
Mr. Noone says: "If the Ascending Passage and Grand Gallery were built to observe this supernova explosion, the Giza complex was built to memorialize a tremendous cataclysm in the earth's planetary system which affected the globe with fire and flood." 256
"The Grand Gallery, aimed like a giant telescope at a particular celestial body in the earth's southern sky -- before its view of the heavens was blocked by the completion of the building -- points to where radio astronomy has just pinpointed the supernova (or giant stellar explosion) nearest to our solar system...
The Great Pyramid's Grand Gallery is focused at this particular spot in the earth's southern sky." 257
Then Mr. Noone discussed the research being done to locate the spot in the universe where the Grand Gallery is pointed. He wrote: "In the late 1960's Dr. Anthony Hewish, 1974 corecipient of the Nobel Prize in physics, was working at England's Mulard Radio Astronomy Observatory.
Hewish began to track a mysterious rhythmic series of pulses, clearly from a point in the earth's southern sky." 258
Mr. Noone pointed out that Dr. Hewish : "... demonstrated that the strange rhythmic pulses were radio emissions from a star that had collapsed or blown itself up in the earth's southern sky some time around 4000 B.C., a date memorialized in the mysteries of Freemasonry as Anno Lucis, the Year of Light." 259
In another part of the world George Michanowsky, author of the book entitled, THE ONCE AND FUTURE STAR, was deciphering an incredible message cut, carved, and indented in an ancient cuneiform (meaning a language of wedge-shaped characters used in ancient inscriptions) clay tablet, located in the British Museum.
"The ancient Sumerian cuneiform table Michanowsky was deciphering described a giant star exploding within a triangle formed by the three stars Zeta Puppis, Gamma Velorum, and Lambda Velorum.
These three stars are located in the earth's southern sky and unknown to Michanowsky at the time were being tracked by Anthony Hewish.
Michanowsky continued deciphering the Sumerian star catalogue, containing observations going back thousands of years. The remarkably accurate star catalogue now stated that the blazing star that had exploded within the triangle would again be seen by man in 6,000 years." 260
So two world renowned scientists had independently discovered the results of a large explosion that they both felt had occurred around 6000 years ago.
Mr. Noone then asked the question: "Is there a Masonic connection between Vela X, a star which exploded within a triangle, and the ancient religious symbolism and star dates of Freemasonry?" 261 And the Masons have answered it with a positive yes.
Albert Mackey, the Mason, in his ENCYCLOPAEDIA, wrote this: "In the Year of Light; abbreviated A.L.
The date used in ancient Craft Masonry; found by adding 4000 to the Vulgar [meaning the common]
Era; thus, 1911 + 4000 = 5,911." 262
This current book was being written in 1989, A.D., which stands for Anno Domini, the "year of the Lord," meaning since the birth of Jesus. But according to the Masons, the true calendar date should be written 5989 A.L.
Another writer on the Great Pyramid is Tom Valentine, and his book is entitled THE GREAT PYRAMID: MAN'S MONUMENT TO MAN. Mr. Valentine wrote: "... the Great Pyramid's system of passages and chambers is a chronological graph that begins in 4000 B.C. and continues for six thousand years." 263 So, according to the Masons, there are only 11 years to the year 6000. But what happens after the 6,000 years? What is next?
The New Agers have told us. Marilyn Ferguson, a New Age believer, has written a book entitled, THE AQUARIAN CONSPIRACY, in which she wrote the following: "... we are entering a millennium of love and light." 264
A millennium is defined as a thousand year period. So, it appears that sometime in the near future, the New Agers are going to see the beginning of the millennium reign of Lord Maitreya.
This position was confirmed by the Lucis Trust, also a New Age organization, when it wrote the following in a quarterly newsletter for the third quarter, 1982: "The year 2000 looms before humanity as a gigantic milestone which marks both an ending and a beginning. It marks the end of a volatile millennium which has seen enormous progress and change...
But more importantly, the year 2000 stands as a symbolic portal through which humanity can pass into a New Age... if it so chooses." 265
So something is coming.
And it is coming by the year 2000.
And it is called The New Age.
Or The New World Order.
[Editor's note: It is now 2009, and neither "The New Age", nor "The New World Order" has manifested]
