Isaiah 19:19-20
Isaiah is speaking about
I'm always fascinated by the pyramids and the mystery surrounding them. I ran across a respected bible teacher who wondered out loud if Isaiah 19 wasn't a reference to the pyramids. No one really knows but there are some interesting facts for the fun file.
Now remember the fun file is to explore the wonder and mystery. It's a place of speculation, probing and questioning. It's not a place of doctrine. You don't go start a new denomination based on weird stuff like this and you can't linger here too long. Read, enjoy and then get back to serious bible study.
The phrase 'an altar to the LORD in the midst of the
There are many pyramids in
One theory is the shepherd kings were Assyrians who invaded the
The Great Pyramid is accurately aligned to north; believed to be built in 2500 B.C.; 13 acres at the base; thermal expansion built in to the corners; stones are 5'x8'x12' weighing 2 tons each and are cut to accuracy of 1/50th of an inch; It was originally covered with polished limestone. The tolerances of the stones are greater than the tiles on the space shuttle.
Imagine the size and weight of such a structure. To build something like this and assure it wouldn't sink, settle unevenly or crumble apart would be a major undertaking in this day and age. Is it a coincidence it is built on solid, stable rock?
Measure of the side is 365.242 sacred cubits - same number days in a year. Ten million sacred cubits is the radius of the earth at the North Pole. If the height of the pyramid were the radius of the circle the base is equal to PI. The mathematics of the pyramid is amazing. The angles, ratios and measurements show up again and again throughout.
There is a ascending passage and a descending passage. The airshafts, if not plugged would keep the temp at 68 degrees. The tunnel is accurate within ΒΌ" in 350' - we can't do that with lasers. Some time ago some folks found a relationship in distance of the passageways to the timelines of young earth creation, birth and death of Jesus. The angle of 26 degrees, 18 min, 9.7 sec is of the ascending passage which points directly to
Not that long ago while they were studying the pyramids they discovered the sides had a bow to them that can't really be seen with the eye. Once it was studied, they found the bow was exact on each side and matched the curvature of the earth exactly.
The height of the pyramid relates to the thickness of the earths crust. The distance to the sun can be calculated from the pyramid. The amazing facts go on and on.
The capstone of the pyramid is missing. Some believe that it was made of gold but no one really knows. The Great Pyramid is the last of the
If you haven't had enough, research these:
Why is the Great Pyramid in the great seal of the
Research the location of the pyramid on the earth?
Research the relationship to other places in the world.
You could spend a lifetime studying stuff like this. Many have. However, there are some weird rabbit trails that some of these things will lead you down. Don't be deceived!!
That's enough fun for now.
Get back to the bible.
Just thinking.
