One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of
wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C. Despite its antiquity, certain
aspects of its construction make it one of truly great wonders of the world. The thirteen-acre
structure near the Nile River is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are the
number of hidden passageways and the burial chamber for the pharaoh. It is the largest single
structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south,
east, and west – an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshippers and
great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on astronomical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting
lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events-past, present
and future. Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the
past. Others are prophesied for the future generations and are currently under investigation. Many
believe that pyramids have supernatural powers and this one is no exception. Some researchers even
associate it with extraterrestrial beings if the ancient past.
Was this superstructure made by ordinary beings, or one built by a race far superior to any known
today?
