Who Built the Pyramids?
Not slaves. archeaologist Mark Lehner digging deeper, discovers a city of privileged workers.
by Jonathan Shaw
The pyramids and the Great Sphinx rise inexplicably from the desert at Giza, relics of a vanished culture. They dwarf the approaching sprawl of modern Cairo, a city of 16 million. The largest pyramid, built for the Pharaoh Khufu around 2530 B.C. and intended to last an eternity, was until early in the twentieth century the biggest building on the planet. To raise it, laborers moved into position six and a half million tons of stone—some in blocks as large as nine tons—with nothing but wood and rope. During the last 4,500 years, the pyramids have drawn every kind of admiration and interest, ranging in ancient times from religious worship to grave robbery, and, in the modern era, from New-Age claims for healing “pyramid power” to pseudoscientific searches by “fantastic archaeologists” seeking hidden chambers or signs of alien visitations to Earth. As feats of engineering or testaments to the decades-long labor of tens of thousands, they have awed even the most sober observers.

So, with a 'corrected' (King's list I assume) time-line, at what date does he place the Exodus?
Circa 1012 B.C. is the accepted time (in the conventional chronology) for the rise of King David in Israel, however it has until now been believed that the Pharoah Akhenaten ruled in Egypt over 300 years earlier! The letter to Akhenaten was one of 340 political correspondences written primarily in Akkadian, the diplomatic language of the day, and dating to the reigns of Amenhotep III, Akhenaten, and Tutankhamun. The group of letters are collectively known as the Amarna tablets after the site in Egypt where they were discovered in 1887.
Comparisons between the frequently mentioned "Habiru" of the Amarna tablets and the Biblical descriptions of David and his band of "mighty men" (2 Samuel 10:7) have been made by noted scholars. However, due to the 300 year offset in the conventional chronology, an association with the Biblical accounts had not been seriously considered. A new study of the Amarna tablets by Rohl has revealed that the ethnic and political makeup of Palestine, and the activities of the Habiru are even more similar in their correspondence with the Biblical record that was originally suspected.(14)

Thanks kidd. I saw the title of this thread and scanned it to make sure someone printed the truth!
I am starting to figure out the puzzle.
Regrettably, human life is still cheap to many folks (e.g. 40+ million abortions).
The Queen's chamber = Babylon, the 'heart' of the earth, just as it (the chamber) is in the heart (center) of the pyramid.
The true apex (the point at which the top of the missing cornerstone is extrapolated) = Zion.
Using these coordinates to transpose the pyramid and its passage system onto the map of the Middle East, the false summit = Amman.
The sphinx faces east, towards its own image on the ground... that is, the middle eastern borders which are of a sphinx. The sphinx beast on the ground is prostrating toward Mecca. Or, as a picture of Goliath, it fell upon its face to the earth. After all, there's a rock impaled on its forehead (the left temple)... just look for "Petra".
It was the Caliph of Baghdad, Adbullah al Mammon er Mamoun (gotta love that name), who rediscovered the interior passageways in 820. They busted through the rock looking for treasure, but found none. When the thieves er workers were instructed to dig at a particular spot, they amazingly discovered an amount of gold equal to their expected wages.
Matthew 6:19-24
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Oh, that was very good.
I supposed the other aspects of the pyramids were installed by the other two angels: this is the clear evidence that they were constructed through supernatural means.
It is easier to answer the question: Who did not build the Pyramids?
Certainly not the existing nor the sandmaggots of the last 1500 years.
Next question?
