uncovered some fascinating secrets of ancient Egyptian archaeology. He points out that
they found astronomical maps of surprising accuracy showing the position of the stars as
they were many thousands of years ago.
Reportedly, the Russians also dug up many objects, some as yet unidentified,
including crystal lenses, of great precision, perfectly spherical, which very possibly were
used as telescopes! Asserts Kolosimo, similar lenses have been found in Iraq and even
central Australia. Even more amazing is the fact that they can only be ground today with
a special abrasive made of oxide of cerium which can only be produced electrically.
Peter Tompkins attempted to verify these data with Soviet academicians, without
any tangible result. But it seems out of the question that Kolosimo manufactured such an
incredible story out of whole cloth. In view of the many other astonishing things
uncovered relative to the Egyptians of antiquity, these discoveries seem to fit with the
entire picture scientists are beginning to draw about the science of the Egyptians during
the time of the Great Pyramid.
Knowledge Lost
We might know much more about the Pyramids, especially the Great Pyramid,
had it not been for the fact that in the Middle Ages due to the influence of the Church,
learning came to be despised and denigrated. Christianized Egyptians were even
forbidden access to the ancient temples which were either seized or razed to the ground
by the Catholics. Thousands of statues and inscriptions were disfigured. In 389 A.D. the
great library of Alexandria, Egypt, was burned to the ground and destroyed by a mob of
indignant Christians on the orders of Emperor Theodosius. All that was ancient was
considered pagan, and therefore sinful. Mathematicians and astronomers were
persecuted and sometimes hounded to death by the established Church.
The secrets of the Great Pyramid, meanwhile, remained undiscovered.
The first real attempt to excavate the Great Pyramid was made by the Arabs
under AI Mamun, an enlightened Arab chief. Eventually they tunneled into the vast
structure and discovered many chambers and narrow passageways, but often their
attempts were thwarted by huge granite plugs impeding their progress. They finally
uncovered what was called the “King’s Chamber,” but there was no true sarcophagus or
burial coffin—no evidence any king of Egypt had ever been entombed. This fact
indicates that the purpose of the Great Pyramid was not to house the body of an ancient
Pharaoh, unlike the other pyramids of Egypt.
Later superstitions had it that the Great Pyramid was haunted by ghosts. Arabs
claimed that at noon and sunset it was haunted by a naked woman who seduced people
into her power and then drove them insane. There were stories that it was filled with
serpents.
