Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Thinking about thousands of years back Spitty.
I was always fascinated by how they made and built such perfectly accurate stuff thousands of years ago. this was on my mind as I dozed of to sleep last night.
So not surprisingly I had a dream about the Egyptian Pyramids, I was a young man and had just started a job as a pyramid builder, a top position them days, and I thought I was the bee’s knees as I headed off to my first day’s work.
I was chiselling away merrily on a figure of the goddess Iris when I dropped me water bottle and it fell behind a supporting beam inside the burial chamber I was working on with two huge gay blokes, when I went to pick it up one of the fellas jumped on top of me (must have been the heat that got to him in there) and we both crashed off the beam, the whole thing collapsed and I was entombed in a small outer chamber with these two lads forever.
What a horrible nightmare, I needn’t tell yeh I was relieved when I woke up.
The Pyramids are the last survivors of the seven wonders of the old world, it’s amazing they are still there with all the shit that has gone into the atmosphere since the industrial revolution, and remember that “Acid Rain” back in the 70’s that was supposed to destroy all buildings?, wrong call there I think.
Even to this day, and with all the technology at our disposal we still don’t know how they were built thousands of years ago, and there is not one construction company or brain in the World today who could build another one.
Kara Cooney, a professor of Egyptian art and architecture at the University of California says:
“We actually don’t know [their] mechanism of cutting hard stones like red granite, and we still don’t know how the ancient Egyptians lifted blocks weighing hundreds of tons up the sides of the pyramids.”
How refreshing to hear an honest professor admit that, others will try to bamboozle you with scientific bullshit.
It’s just another unsolved mystery to add to hundreds of others.
Yet there are folks who instantly dismiss Eric Van Daniken’s theory that the earth was visited many times by alien beings who thought selected earthlings skills they never dreamed possible, and when they mastered these skills they kept them so secret that they eventually died with the knowledge and they were lost to us forever, although there are some who say the Masons got hold of them somehow, I’m open to all theories.
These Pyramid workers, craftsmen, and their families all lived in a compound next to the site of building and no outsiders were permitted to visit them or the site, all part of the terms and conditions of employment I believe.
When they were finally completed, who’s to say the Pharaohs didn’t entomb the lot of them inside a Pyramid and keep any wages due, killing two birds with the one stone, the know how secrets and holding onto the lolly.
Anyway it would be tough looking for a job as an experienced Pyramid builder, they could have all been put on furlough in the meantime, but as far as I know nobody ordered any more Pyramids in that part of the world, Mexico was yer only chance of getting work, the Maya, Inca, and Aztec built a lot of them, but getting from Egypt to Mexico back then was like trying to send a man to Mars today.
There’s loads of very interesting theories out there, decide for yourself.
