The Great Pyramid of Giza also called The Khufu’s Pyramid is the largest and oldest Pyramids in Giza Necropolis now known as Cairo, Egypt and also one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It is believed that that the pyramid was built as a tomb for the Egyptian King Khufu and constructed over a period of 20 years. The Great Pyramid was the tallest man made structure in the world for over 3,800 years.
Originally the Great Pyramid was covered with casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface, and what is is seen today is the underlying structure. We can still see the casing stones that covered the Pyramid, on the base of the structure. There have been many scientific theories regarding the construction of the pyramid or how it was built, one such theory is – by moving huge stones from quarry and dragging and lifting them into place.
The placement of the Pyramid is astonishing, the Pyramid lies in the exact center of all land area of the world, dividing the earth’s land mass into equal quarters. The north – south axis 31 degree east of Greenwich is the longest land meridian, and the east – west axis 30 degree north is the longest land parallel on the globe and only one place that these longest land lines of the earth can cross, and it is at the Great Pyramid!
About the construction, the block of stones used for building this great monument weighed an average of 2 – 2.5 tons and total number stones used were 2,300,000 blocks of limestone and granite. The larger blocks are used in the ceiling of the King’s Chamber which weighs around 9tons. The majority of the outer casing, which was polished limestone, was removed about 600 years ago to help build cities and mosques which created a rough, worn, and step-like appearance.
The interior of The Great Pyramid is also a mystery; it is the only known Pyramid to contain both ascending and descending passages. There are three known chambers inside the Great Pyramid. These are arranged centrally, on the vertical axis of the pyramid. From the entrance, an 18 meter corridor leads down and splits in two directions. One way leads to the lowest and unfinished chamber. This chamber is cut into the bedrock upon which the pyramid was built. It is the largest of the three, but totally unfinished, only rough-cut into the rock. The other passage leads to the Grand Gallery, where it splits again. One tunnel leads to the Queen's Chamber, a misnomer, while the other winds to intersect with the descending corridor. The Grand Gallery itself features a corbel haloed design and several cut "sockets" spaced at regular intervals along the length of each side of its raised base with a "trench" running along its center length at floor level. What purpose these sockets served is unknown. An antechamber leads from the Grand Gallery to the King's Chamber.
There are many remarkable points found in the dimensions of the pyramid. One of the first items discovered about the pyramid is that it is aligned with the four points of the compass. This means that its four sides point toward true East, West, North, and South. The error from true north is about 1/12 of a degree and what is even more astounding is that this orientation was done without a compass, which was not invented until the 1500 years after the Messiah's birth. Now you may wonder if the perfect aligning to the four points of the compass was a coincidence or was this purposed and planned in the design. Some believe that the pyramid was built about 4000 years before the birth of the Messiah.
For the Great Pyramid to be perfectly aligned with the four cardinal points on the compass means that the builder either had some way of determining directions or that neither the Egyptians nor any human designed it. Other dimensions of the Great Pyramid show that it was literally impossible for Egyptians or any other humans to have designed or built it. The Great Pyramid is one of the heaviest structures on earth and could not be built anywhere. The architect had to pick a site that could withstand the weight of the Great Pyramid. How this knowledge was obtained no one knows. In short, the builders of the Great Pyramid had to be some of the best world geologists to be able to pick the site. The Great Pyramid is located in the center of all the landmasses (see diagram on p. 31). Many pyramidologists believe that the meridian line running north and south on the globe passing through the Pyramid (31 degree East of Greenwich) should be the zero line of the whole world. By drawing a horizontal line through the pyramid one can see the pyramid is the center of the landmasses. Again one sees that the architect of the Pyramid had to know the location in advance and it has only been in the last 100 years that men have had these capabilities.
The mysterious of the Pyramid are far more interesting and astounding than we have ever imagined, and this whole topic could not be explained or discussed in this document. The more we get into the mystery, we see the Pyramid in a way that we never imagined before. And unlocking the greatest mystery of “Who and Why was the Great Pyramid built?”
