Is the Great Pyramid a prehistoric machine – not built by prehistoric humans?

2012 and the Old Equator

By Robert Berringer

There are many signs that extraterrestrial beings, often called gods, periodically intervene in the evolution of life on Earth. Some of the most enduring signs like the Great Pyramid have convinced me that Stone Age humans under Old Kingdom Pharaohs did not build many of the most ancient and most enduring megaliths. Our world view of the Great Pyramid is shaped by the Egyptologists, the liberal media, government teachers, parents etc. Studies by many New Age scholars have convinced them that the Great Pyramid was not built by the Pharoah Khufu as a tomb. Historians note that it is devoid of authentic inscriptions, unlike later pyramids which contained extensive religious inscriptions about their builders. The so called coffin found in the Kings Chamber was carved out of one piece of solid granite, including the cover. It is too large to have been transported into the pyramid, so like the enigmatic air shafts which point to Sirius and Orion, this most massive of all the world’s stone structures was built around these internal features. Machinists have found tool marks like those made by modern saws inside this coffin. Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert in “The Orion Mystery: Unlocking the Secrets of the Pyramids” have used many good photos and illustrations to help convince me that the Great Pyramid is a prehistoric machine not built by prehistoric humans. As an engineer, I recognize the following photo as a very strong solid granite foundation for a heavy machine creating a very large downward force…

Does reality conform to the explanations we impose upon it? What about the universe and creation itself? Imagine so…

Science Needs to Ask: ‘What Is Consciousness?’

by Deepak Chopra (HuffPost)

“Anyone who equates myth with superstition would claim that we live in a world that has gone beyond mythology. Science is proud of vanquishing superstition, and a certain vocal contingent of atheists use science to bolster their belief that God is pure superstition. However, mythology is harder to vanquish that that. It crops up in new guises, because myths aren’t superstitions. They are mental templates, operating assumptions, the beliefs that bolster a world view and, above all, a way to explain nature. In any infinite universe, the human mind finds ways to tell a story that will bring the infinite within reach, and myths serve that function.

Sometimes myths are so strong that they pen reality in, building a fence around it and forcing every natural event to stay inside the fence. When God or the gods were the cause of earthly events, the fence was tight and inescapable. But the rise of quantum theory a century ago revealed that even stronger fences were hemming in our sense of reality. We explained the universe through matter and energy governed by physical laws. In the pre-quantum world this scheme wasn’t theory; it was reality, pure and simple. Everything inside this fence acted the same way. It operated by cause and effect. It never went faster than the speed of light. It conformed to mathematical formulations. It excluded the mushy emotions and shifting moods of subjectivity. Science claimed to have found a model for nature that was based on reason alone. How strange, then, that reason was actually the seed of a new mythology, and even stranger, that this rock-solid system is crumbling all around us…”

For some reason nothing gives me the shivers more than ghost ships. Imagine suddenly finding yourself wandering alone on a ghost ship in the middle of sea…

The Unsolved Mystery Of ‘Ghost Ships’

(CNN) — It’s been described as one of the greatest Victorian gothic horror stories of all time. Two ships with 129 men on board and fitted with the latest technology, vanish with barely a trace left behind. One hundred and sixty years of searching — one attempt as recent as last month — have failed to find “HMS Erebus” and her sister ship, the somewhat appropriately named “HMS Terror” — the two vessels lost in the Arctic.

In 1845 British Royal Navy captain Sir John Franklin set out with some of the finest sailors of the time on a mission to map the Northwest Passage. Franklin’s expedition wasn’t the first to the region, but it is the most infamous.

“Why did this fail when all the others didn’t,” asks author William Battersby. “There was something jinxed about the expedition.” Battersby is one of many to be transfixed by the mystery of Franklin’s last voyage. “We love adventure stories, of daring do, win against all odds, but in this story they don’t and we still don’t know why.”…
