The Lost History of the Pyramids
"The Giza-plateau and old Cairo are crisscrossed with
subterranean passageways, shafts, natural caverns, lakes and chambers that
contain surprising artifacts, but Egyptian authorities are not ready to reveal
these to the public"
To comprehend fully the secret information in the Bible, it
is important to understand the extent of the subterranean tunnel system and
associated chamber facilities existing below the surface of the Pyramid
Plateau, for it was there that major elements of Mystery School teachings
developed. What happened under the sands thousands of years ago is not
reflected in today's history books, and discoveries made in the last eight
decades or so verify that point.
The Fayum Oasis district, just a few kilometers outside the
boundary of the Memphis Nome, presents a site of unusual interest. It was in
that lush, fertile valley that Pharaohs calling themselves the "masters of
the royal hunts" fished and hunted with the boomerang , Lake Moeris
once bordered the Fayum Oasis and on its shores was the famous Labyrinth,
described by Herodotus as "an endless wonder to me".
The Labyrinth contained 1500 rooms and an equal number of
underground chambers that the Greek historian was not permitted to inspect,
according to Labyrinth priests, "the passages were baffling and
intricate", designed to provide safety for the numerous scrolls they said
were hidden in subterranean apartments.
That massive complex particularly impressed Herodotus and he
spoke in awe of the structure:
There I saw twelve palaces regularly disposed, which had
communication with each other, interspersed with terraces and arranged around
twelve halls. It is hard to believe they are the work of man, The walls are
covered with carved figures, and each court is exquisitely built of white
marble and surrounded by a colonnade. Near the corner where the labyrinth ends,
there is a pyramid, two hundred and forty feet in height, with great carved
figures of animals on it and an underground passage by which it can be entered.
I was told very credibly that underground chambers and passages connected this
pyramid with the pyramids at Memphis.
Many ancient writers supported Herodotus' record of
underground passages connecting major pyramids, and their evidence casts doubt
on the reliability of traditionally presented Egyptian history. Crantor (300
BC) stated that there were certain underground pillars in Egypt that contained
a written stone record of pre-history , and they lined access ways connecting
the pyramids.
In his celebrated study, On the Mysteries, particularly
those of the Egyptians, Chaldeans and the Assyrians, Iamblichus, a
fourth-century Syrian representative of the Alexandrian School of mystical and
philosophical studies, recorded this information about an entranceway through
the body of the Sphinx into the Great Pyramid :
This entrance, obstructed in our day by sands and rubbish,
may still be traced between the forelegs of the crouched colossus. It was
formerly closed by a bronze gate whose secret spring could be operated only by
the Magi. It was guarded by public respect, and a sort of religious fear
maintained its inviolability better than armed protection would have done. In
the belly of the Sphinx were cut out galleries leading to the subterranean part
of the Great Pyramid.
These galleries were so art-fully crisscrossed along their
course to the Pyramid that, in setting forth into the passage without a guide
throughout this network, one unceasingly and inevitably returned to the
starting point.
It was recorded in ancient Sumerian cylinder seals that the
secret abode of the Anunnaki was,
"an underground place... entered through a tunnel, its
entrance hidden by sand and by what they call Huwana... his teeth as the teeth
of a dragon, his face the face of a lion".
That remarkable old text, unfortunately fragmented, added
that "He [Huwana] is unable to move forward, nor is he able to move
back", but they crept up on him from behind and the way to "the
secret abode of the Anunnaki" was no longer blocked.
The Sumerian record provided a probable description of the
lion-headed Sphinx at Giza, and if that great creature was built to guard or
obliterate ancient stairways and lower passages leading to subterranean areas
below and around it, then its symbolism was most appropriate.
Local 19th-century Arab lore maintained that existing under the Sphinx are secret chambers holding treasures or magical objects. That belief was bolstered by the writings of the first-century Roman historian Pliny, who wrote that deep below the Sphinx is concealed the "tomb of a ruler named Harmakhis that contains great treasure", and, strangely enough, the Sphinx itself was once called "The Great Sphinx Harmakhis who mounted guard since the time of the Followers of Horus".
The fourth-century Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus made
additional disclosures about the existence of subterranean vaults that appeared
to lead to the interior of the Great pyramid
Inscriptions which the ancients asserted were engraved on
the walls of certain underground galleries and passages were constructed deep
in the dark interior to preserve ancient wisdom from being lost in the flood.
A manuscript compiled by an Arab writer named Altelemsani is
preserved in the British Museum, and it records the existence of a long,
square, underground passage between the Great Pyramid and the River Nile with a
"strange thing" blocking the Nile entrance.
He related the following episode:
In the days of Ahmed Ben Touloun, a party entered the Great
pyramid through the tunnel and found in a side-chamber a goblet of glass of
rare color and texture. As they were leaving, they missed one of the party and,
upon returning to seek him, he came out to them naked and laughing said,
"Do not follow or seek for me", and then rushed back into the
pyramid. His friends perceived that he was enchanted.
