View Full Version : Missing Pyramid
been looking for this a while, its not the one I was looking for but the same joint, what got my attention first was what he (Hawass) calls a sarcophagus lid, check it out, very distinct colour from the surrounding blocks, stop at 8 sec, you can see the bevelling on the top surface and the downward facing surface has a pronounced , "proud" edge. You get a better look at it at 18-23 sec, then at 46-48 sec you get a look at the immediate area it is found in, the stone looks as likely to have fallen from the wall directly behind it, you can see crudely stacked rubble which was used as a back-fill,????, also 2 holes are to be seen on the upper front surface......Official Egyptian history is the sole domain of Hawass, he can say what he likes
Egypt's antiquities chief said Thursday. (June 5)It's not every day that you stumble upon a missing pyramid, but that's exactly what archaeologists in Egypt have done.SOT Dr Zahi Hawass, Egyptian Supreme Council for Antiquities "We found the burial chamber and we found also the lid of a sarcophagus Only the base remains of what has been known as the "missing pyramid" or "headless pyramid" of a pharaoh.This one was actually first discovered back in the 1800s but was covered by 25 feet of desert sands and no one had been able to find it since.SOT Hawasswe did not discover yet the entrance of the pyramid because it's located underneath this (turns and points) village. We are planning to move this village soon to another area in the valley. Officials say the pyramid dates back to around 24 hundred B-C.They also say they discovered a ceremonial procession road where high priests carried mummified remains of sacred bulls.

What strikes me is this
We are planning to move this village soon to another area in the valley.hahahh Volunteers in the name of archaeology.

tut-tut....(get it) I think their system of "selecting" their "volunteers" is quite fair :roll:

Yeah. Unless they decide to move the village to Wellington. Of course, that would be my first choice.
here is a diagram of a sarcophagus lid from the Cairo museum, maybe the one in the clip is a lid as he says, like to see the other side, there is a report in the link below which takes a look at the engineering involved with cutting and drilling granite

The precision in these artifacts is irrefutable. Even if we ignore the question of how they were produced, we are still faced with the question of why such precision was needed. The implications of this question are just as profound.
Revelation of new data, invariably spawns new questions. In this case it’s understandable to hear, "where are the machines?"
what or however they were made , I find their work mesmerizing :shock:

Yeah. I think Zahi has seen enough sarcophagus covers to know one when he sees one. Good to see you've come to your senses. And enjoy your new neighbors!

yeah, he should, wonder what his thoughts are on this......

A Crookes tube is an early experimental electrical discharge tube, invented by British physicist William Crookes[1] and others around 1869-1875,[2] in which cathode rays, that is electrons, were discovered.[3]
An evolution of the Geissler tube, it consists of a partially (but not completely) evacuated glass cylinder of various shapes, with two metal electrodes at either end. When a high voltage is applied between the electrodes, electrons travel in straight lines from the cathode to the anode. It was used by Crookes, Johann Hittorf, Juliusz Plücker, Eugen Goldstein, Heinrich Hertz, Philipp Lenard and others to discover the properties of cathode rays, culminating in J. J. Thomson's 1897 identification of cathode rays as the particles carrying the negative charge of atoms, which he named electrons. Crookes tubes are now used only for demonstrating cathode rays.
Wilhelm Röntgen discovered x-rays with the Crookes tube in 1895. The term is also used for the first generation, cold cathode x-ray tubes,[4] which evolved from the experimental Crookes tubes and were used until about 1920.

Just another Von Daniken wet dream?
Unfortunately, it seems that modern eyes have seen what they want to see in an ancient scene without considering the text provided by the ancient people to explain exactly what they were doing.
In the carvings, Harsamtawy (a form of Horus known as Horus who joins the two lands), son of Hathor, takes the form of a serpent (although he also appears as a hawk). According to one myth, Horus sprung into existence out of a lotus flower which blossomed in the watery abyss of Nun at dawn at the beginning of every year. The "light-bulbs" are in fact lotus flower bulbs, mythologically giving birth to the snake. Another panel shows the bulb opening into a lotus blossom and the snake standing erect in the centre as a representation of the god Horus. On the southern wall of the last room, a falcon, preceded by a snake emerges from a lotus blossom within a boat. http://www.ancientegyptonline.co.uk/Denderahlightbulb.html
from your link
The crypts are generally considered to be store-rooms, and only a few are decorated
:scratch:
sketchy........lot of guess work, not to mention overkill with the decoration, for a poxy store-room, or is it a crypt ?
According to the texts written on the walls, we know that the kiosk consisted of a gold base surmounted by a gold roof supported by four gold posts, covered on all four sides by linen curtains hung from copper rods. The strange inscriptions are in the easternmost of the small chambers.
copper rods? gold base ?....... may be the pharoah got his chariot wheels plated in there?
We do not know the exact origin of the Djed pillar, but its hieroglyphic meaning ("enduring" or "stability" and sometimes "column") is not doubted. There is no apparent connection between the concept of "enduring" and the process of insulating, but even if there was, the Djed wouldn´t work as an insulator. In a light bulb, the glass bulb itself insulates the filament, and no extra component is required.

The above only describes the motion of the electrons. The full details of the action in a Crookes tube are complicated, because it contains a nonequilibrium plasma of positively charged ions, electrons, and neutral atoms which are constantly interacting. At higher gas pressures, above 10-6 atm (0.1 P), this creates different colored glowing regions in the gas, depending on the pressure in the tube (see diagram). The details were not fully understood until the development of plasma physics in the early 20th century
This flower appears in this form all over Egypt, and is always a lotus flower. Furthermore, the text beside the depiction confirms that it is a lotus flower.
Unfortunately, it seems that modern eyes have seen what they want to see in an ancient scene without considering the text provided by the ancient people to explain exactly what they were doing.
I'll have a look around, find some lotus flowers, and be good to see the text and the deciphering

have you got some pics?
Daumas has suggested that the sacred procession which was held on the eve of the first day of the New Year, began in these rooms.
in a store-room?
Some are still unwilling to entirely give up on the idea. Instead of claiming that the Egyptians used light bulbs under normal conditions, they suggest that the priests performed a ritual which created a small amount of light during the New Year celebrations. Proponents claim that the reliefs describe a three stage process; first the "bulb" is supported by a kneeling figure making three "waves" emanate from the serpent, then the "bulb" is supported by a Djed pillar making four "waves" emanate from the serpent, finally the "bulb" is placed against a vertical Djed pillar causing five "waves" to emanate from the serpents body. The waves are thought to be evidence of a vibratory process increasing in frequency as the scenes progress.
This is certainly a more creative theory which neatly avoids the lack of any supporting evidence by claiming that the ceremony was ritual and secret. The problem remains that all of the elements are known to have specific meanings from numerous other sources, and the text confirms those meanings. However, it is still possible that the priests encoded a deeper meaning in the text and images.
to their credit they say its possible there is another interpretation

The missing pyramid?
Guess who had it and where...
