THE SECRET OF THE PYRAMID 69<br />

certain days of the solar year.<br />
One thousand and eighty years is<br />
one tenth of the great year<br />
of the Babylonians and the Hindus, and the 108-year cycle of the<br />
Rosicrucians is one hundredth of the 10,800-year Great Cycle.<br />
This international fraternity devoted to the application of religious<br />
mysticism to modern life, alternates its secret activities<br />

To come back to the hidden treasures of the pharaohs, let's examine<br />
the map of Giza, a western suburb of Cairo, where the<br />
three pyramids and the Sphinx are situated. The diagonals of the<br />
Cheops and Khafre pyramids both run on the same axis northeast<br />
to south-west, and one of the diagonals of the Menkure Pyramid<br />
cuts the alignment of the other two pyramids at a given<br />
point P. When we observe now the geometrical center of the<br />
Sphinx, we find tliat it can be aligned with the southern face of<br />
the Khafre Pyramid, which has its special significance. More importantly,<br />
however, this alignment is at an angle of 15 degrees<br />
with the central axis of the Sphinx. When this axis is continued<br />
west it cuts the extensions of the diagonals of all the three pyramids<br />
at the same point F that we found above.<br />
It could be a coincidence, but if I were looking for the lost<br />
treasures of ancient Egypt, P is the spot where I would start dig-<br />
