such hair-like joints, is almost inconceivable at present; and the accuracy of the
leveling is marvelous” (Riffert, p.39).
Says Riffert, further, “The Pyramid under discussion is not a theory, but a solid
stone fact, 4,500 years old and weighing over 5,000,000 tons. Its scientific features are
not figments of the imagination, not matters of theory, but of fact. They have been
established as such by the surveys and calculations of the ablest of engineers and
astronomers” (p.50).
Scriptural References and Types
The Scriptures themselves bear witness to the Great Pyramid. The prophet
Isaiah recorded, “In that day there shall be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land
of Egypt, and a PILLAR at the border thereof to the Lord. And it shall be for a SIGN
and for a WITNESS unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt” (Isa.19:19-20).
Jeremiah declared, “The Great, the Mighty God, whose name is the Lord of
hosts. You are great in counsel and mighty in work . . . You have set SIGNS AND
WONDERS in the land of Egypt, to this day . . .” (Jeremiah 32:18-20, NKJV).
The capstone at the top of the Great Pyramid was never put in place. This itself
is very significant. Why would it be left off In Psalm 118, we read: “The stone
which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord’s
doing; it is marvelous in our eyes” (v.22-23).
Wrote the apostle Peter, speaking of Christ, “’This is the stone which was
rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone. Nor is there
salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by
which we must be saved” (Acts 4:11-12).
Peter also declared, Christ is “the living stone, rejected indeed by men, but
chosen by God and precious. . . . Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,
‘Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him
will by no means be put to shame’” (I Peter 2:4-6).
These verses all point to a pyramid shaped structure, as it is the only type which
permits a stone to be the “head of the corner” or the “chief cornerstone.”

Investigations of the Great Pyramid
It was not until 825 A.D. that a medieval Caliph, Al Mamoun, cut a passage into
the Great Pyramid, searching for hidden treasures of gold, silver and precious stones. He
broke into the pyramid passage system, where the ascending and descending passages
join. That was the first time men had penetrated the upper chambers of the pyramid
