Egyptian gods, pharaohs, & pyramids: Jesus Christ counterfeits

Primary Proof of the Bible: Types (Foreshadowings) of the Antichrist throughout History

ANCIENT EGYPT:

DON'T BE DECEIVED INTO THINKING THAT THE LIVES OF DAVID, SOLOMON, MOSES, ADAM, ETC. WERE BASED ON THE LIVES OF THESE EGYPTIAN PHARAOHS & GODS! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE DAVID, SOLOMON, MOSES, ADAM, ETC. ALL RESEMBLED JESUS IN VERY UNCOMMON & NUMEROUS WAYS AS WELL, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM PART TWO OF THE WEBSITE. THEREFORE, IF YOU ARGUED THAT JESUS' LIFE AS WELL WAS A MYTH, YOU WOULD HAVE TO ARGUE THAT JESUS' LIFE WAS COPIED FROM ALL THESE DIFFERENT GODS & PHARAOHS AS WELL AS FROM MANY DIFFERENT FIGURES OF ANCIENT GREECE, CHINA, ROME, ETC. BY THE UNEDUCATED FISHERMEN WHO COMPOSED THE GOSPELS! IF THE LIVES OF THESE BIBLE FIGURES WERE NOT COPIED FROM THESE ANCIENT SOURCES, THE ONLY REASONABLE CONCLUSION TO DRAW IS THAT A SUPERNATURAL BEING WHICH GOVERNS HUMANS CREATED THESE RESEMBLANCES, EITHER TO CONFIRM THAT WHATEVER SAID ABOUT THE BIBLE FIGURES IS TRUE (IF GOD MADE THE RESEMBLANCES), OR TO DECEIVE YOU INTO NOT BELIEVING THE BIBLE (IF SATAN MADE THE RESEMBLANCES).

-EGYPTIAN GODS:

horus Horus anubis Anubis god1 Thoth god2 Ra god3 Isis atum Atum

Many of them carried crosses called "ankhs" in one of their hands. Be ready to be shocked when you read the following from http://www.egyptiangods.co.uk/ankh.htm:

The ankh (pronounced 'ahnk') was the Egyptian hieroglyphic character that stood for the word , which means life. Gods may carry it by the loop, or bear one in each hand crossed over their breast...The ankh appears frequently in Egyptian tomb paintings and other art; it often appears at the fingertips of a god or goddess in images that represent the deities of the afterlife conferring the gift of life on the dead person's mummy. The ankh symbol was often carried by Egyptians as an amulet, either alone, or in connection with two other hieroglyphs that mean "strength" and "health."[Jesus spoke the truth when He said "this is my blood, that of the new covenant, which for many is poured out for the forgiveness of sins" (Matt. 26:28) and "They who are strong have no need of a physician, but they who are ill...I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." (Mt. 9:12-13) Jesus' death on the cross brings life, strength, & health of the soul!]

---THE WORLD'S SIXTEEN CRUCIFIED SAVIORS, STORIES EXISTING IN TIMES BEFORE JESUS' CRUCIFIXION In 1875, a book was written by Kersey Graves called The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors. You can find it for free here: http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/kersey_graves/16/. He was not a Christian, and was actually trying to refute Christianity by showing how similar many ancient figures such as Krishna, Horus, Mithra, and Attis were to Jesus (you can see some of these remarkable similarities in Ch. XVI: Sixteen Saviors Crucified. However, if you keep in mind that there are such similarities in nations very far from one another which had limited contact with one another (ex. in Ancient America, which wasn't discovered until after AD 1000, the cross-bearing god Quetzalcoatl, discussed below), also in Nature (ex. in Sun, light, wind, water, man, dogs, etc., as discussed in Part One), in the Old Testament which was written before Jesus' Crucifixion (ex. Noah, Isaac, Joseph, Moses, etc., as discussed in Part Two), and even AFTER Jesus' Crucifixon (ex. Joan of Arc, Mozart, Lincoln & JFK, Statue of Liberty, Notre Dame & Twin Towers, as discussed later in this part), you can see that such similarities on the contrary were MADE BY GOD TO PROVE THAT EVERYTHING SAID BY & ABOUT JESUS IN THE BIBLE IS TRUE.

Tons of types of Christ are discussed in the following link to a book by an athiest who has done very extensive research from which he wrongly concludes that the Old Testament characters were modeled after Egyptian ones because he notices (correctly) that there are VERY NUMEROUS & VERY UNIQUE resemblances.

---ATUM: MADE BY GOD TO SYMBOLIZE ADAM, A TYPE OF CHRIST

(from: http://www.domainofman.com/book/chap-1.html)

In the mythology of ancient Egypt, the god who arrived first on the Earth was called Atum, signifying "Totality." Atum, as with Biblical Adam, was naked and required a civilizing influence. "The loincloth given to Atum served less to clothe him, in the strict sense of the word, than to permit him to manifest his royalty by means of a specific garment."a One cannot help but compare the royal undergarment of Atum with the fig leaf loincloth made for Biblical Adam. In the Egyptian creation story, the first goddess, Tefnut, was said to come forth out of Atum. One of her Mesopotamian nicknames was Nin-ti, meaning "Lady Life," or "The Lady (Who Makes) Live." S.N. Kramer states that ti is also the Sumerian word for "rib," therefore Nin-ti could variously be interpreted as "the Lady of the Rib."b In the Bible, Eve is of course formed from the rib of Adam.

The Hebrew name Adam means "a man, ruddy." Genesis 2:23 (KJV)c states: "she [Eve] was taken out of man." However, the Hebrew word translated in this particular verse as "man" is not Adam but iysh (376).d Like the Egyptian name Atum, this word iysh also conveys a sense of both unity and totality. It is commonly translated elsewhere in the Bible as "every, everyone," i.e., all men. There is an obvious phonic similarity between Adam and Atum. A true linguistic link is also not so unreasonable given that the names of all of the other major Egyptian deities have definite Semitic etymologies.

-EGYPTIAN PHARAOHS:

---THUTMOSE III: MADE BY GOD TO SYMBOLIZE KING DAVID, A TYPE OF CHRIST

From Wikipedia:
Widely considered a military genius by historians, he was an active expansionist ruler, sometimes called Egypt's greatest conqueror or "the Napoleon of Egypt."[12] He is recorded to have captured 350 cities during his rule and conquered much of the Near East from the Euphrates to Nubia during seventeen known military campaigns. [David was similarly successful: “Saul has slain his thousands; David, his tens of thousands!” (1 Samuel 18:7: symbolic of how Jesus whom David symbolizes will destroy very many people as there are very many who have not submitted to him); 1 Sam. 27:8-12; 2 Sam. 5, 8, 10. “The LORD gave David victory wherever he went.” (2 Sam. 8:6)]

From http://www.domainofman.com/ankhemmaat/david.html:
Not only are their achievements equivalent, but so are their very names. Thutmose is a compound name comprised of Thut (from Thoth, the Egyptian god of wisdom) and mose (an Egyptian title or suffix indicating son or rightful heir). In the ancient Egyptian language, words were written without vowels. Thut was, therefore, written as Twt. The ancient Hebrew language, although very different from Egyptian, originally derived its written structure from the Egyptian language.(2) As with Egyptian, the consonants were written and the vowels were vocalized only. Transliterating the Egyptian word twt into Hebrew, because of their similar alphabets, leads to dvd. Reinserting the vowels for pronunciation in Hebrew leads directly to David!(3) [This is not coincidental, for this is also true for all the other Egyptian parallels that I discuss in this part, including Atum, Amenhotep III, & Akhenaten, as I show when I discuss each of those persons!]

The sacredness attributed to Jerusalem by the Egyptians initially derived from the transport of the Barque of Amun(24) (a holy shrine carried on poles in much the same manner as the Israelite Ark of the Covenant) to the city by Thutmose III. The shrine was normally kept within the Holy of Holies in the Temple of Amun at Karnak, however Thutmose III had carried it with him into battle.(25) It remained with him when he took up residence in Jerusalem during the prolonged siege of Megiddo.

From http://www.egyptcx.netfirms.com/were_there_hebrew_pharaohs_egypt_2.htm:

Now we look at some startling information concerning the Ark of the Covenant. On reading Grant R. Jeffrey's book Appointment with Destiny I came across a curious reference to the dimensions of the stone chest in the King's Chamber in the Great Pyramid in Egypt. This stone chest found in the Great Pyramid King's chamber has the exact same measurement as the Ark of the Covenant. This Chest was the only object within the King's Chamber, as the Ark was the single sacred object within the Holy of Holies, in the Temple. Further, the cubit dimensions of the inner chamber of the Temple, the Holy of Holies, are precisely identical in size to the King's Chamber in the Pyramid and the same volume as the molten sea of water on the Temple Mount as prepared by King Solomon. Since the Pyramid was built and sealed long before the days of Moses, when he built the Ark and the Holy of Holies, and had remained sealed for over twenty-five centuries until the ninth century after Christ, there is no natural explanation for the phenomenon of both structures having identical volume measurements. [Indeed, for the only proper explanation is the supernatural one that God made this ark resemble the Ark of the Covenant to prove that part of the Bible!]

---AMENHOTEP III: MADE BY GOD TO SYMBOLIZE KING SOLOMON, A TYPE OF CHRIST
From http://members.aol.com/judeoroots/solomon.htm:

Amenhotep III, known in ancient times as the "King of Kings" and "Ruler of Ruler's,"(7) was a Pharaoh of Egypt's glorious 18th Dynasty. [TRULY IS JESUS “KING OF KINGS & LORD OF LORDS” (Revelation 19:16)] He, like Solomon, inherited a vast empire whose influence extended quite literally from the Nile to the Euphrates.

The administration and taxation system of Amenhotep with its 12 districts(27) is identical to that of Solomon as described in the Bible (1 Kings 4:2-7,27; 5:13; 9:23).

Amenhotep also dedicated himself to rediscovering the wisdom, mysteries and traditions of earlier Egyptian Dynasties.(28) A strong relationship has been established between the "Proverbs of Solomon" in the Bible and the "Maxims of Amenhotep III" found in Egypt.

In addition to the projects already mentioned, Amenhotep also built a completely new palace complex in Thebes. The new royal residence included all of the elements contained in the palace complex of Solomon which are described in the Bible (1 Kings 7:2-12),(30) namely:
-a house made almost entirely out of cedars of Lebanon (built for Amenhotep's Jubilee festival);(31)
-a colonnade (hall of columns) fronted by a portico (porch) and surrounded by a column-lined courtyard;(32)
-a throne room built with many wooden columns and whose floor was a painted lake scene (identical to the one crossed in wonder by the Queen of Sheba when she approached the throne of Solomon, as described in the Koran);(33)
-a separate palace built for Sitamun, "the daughter of Pharaoh;"(34)
a royal palace (consisting of his own residence, the residence of his Great Wife, Tiye, and a residence for the royal harem).(35)

Amenhotep, like Solomon, was relentless in his pursuit of women for his harem, especially beautiful foreign women of both royal and common backgrounds alike.(36) Amenhotep's harem included two princesses from Babylon,(37) two princesses from Syria, two princesses from Mitanni, and like Solomon's harem, it included a princess from each of the seven nations listed in 1 Kings 11:1.(38) As the mightiest king of the Middle East, Amenhotep did not send any of his own daughters to other kings in exchange, nor did any other Pharaoh of this dynasty (or likely any other throughout Egypt's history).(39) He specifically denied a request by the king of Babylon for an Egyptian wife.(40) Importantly, the Bible emphasizes Solomon's Egyptian bride, but does not mention that Solomon had any Hebrew wives.(41) Rehoboam, who is said to have succeeded Solomon, was the son of an Ammonite princess.

---AKHENATEN: MADE BY GOD TO SYMBOLIZE MOSES, A TYPE OF CHRIST
(from Wikipedia) “He is especially noted for attempting to compel the Egyptian population in the monotheistic worship of Aten. [As was Moses, who vehemently opposed the Israelites’ worship of the golden calf instead of God (Exodus 32), who I prove in Part One created the Sun to symbolize Himself. And Aten was the Egyptian SUN god!] Aten was the life-giving force of light. The full title of Akhenaten's god was The Rahorus who rejoices in the horizon, in his/her Name of the Light which is seen in the sun disc…This lengthy name was often shortened to Ra-Horus-Aten or just Aten in many texts.” [God presumably had this name devised to help build people’s faith that there are three persons in God: God the Father-God the Son (Jesus)-God the Holy Spirit. Horus (the SUN god who is often depicted carrying a CROSS in his hand & was said to be BORN OF A VIRGIN ON DECEMBER 25th as Jesus is believed to have been) bears very numerous & very uncommon similarities to Jesus.]

Many people, including Sigmund Freud in his book Moses & Monotheism and Ahmed Osman, a British Egyptologist born in Cairo, who is the author of Moses: the Pharaoh of Egypt & other books, argue that Moses was the same person as Akhenaten, because the similarities between them are VERY NUMEROUS & VERY UNIQUE! Of course, as with all the other people I mention in Part Three, these similarities cannot be coincidental, but the correct conclusion is that GOD ORDERED AKHENATEN’S LIFE TO PARALLEL MOSES’. According to one website, “It is even questionable whether the Old Testament authors could have even known about him at all. Because of Akhenaten's revolutionary religious ideas, his successors largely eliminated his memory by hammering and hacking his name and the record of his reign from monuments throughout Egypt.”

Unique resemblances discovered by Osman: http://www.dwij.org/forum/amarna/10_moses_akhenaten.htm
Amenhotep, who was later known as Akhenaten and Moses, was born in Year 12 of his father Amenhotep III, 1394 BC, in the summer royal palace in the border city of Zarw in northern Sinai. Zarw, modern Kantara East, was the center of the land of Goshen where the Israelites dwelt, and in the same location where the biblical Moses was born. But contrary to the biblical account, Moses was born inside the royal palace… Fearing for his safety, Tiye sent her son, the infant Amenhotep, by water to the safekeeping of her father's Israelite family outside the walls of Zarw. (Which was the origin of the biblical baby-in-the-bulrushes story.)

The persecution of the old gods, however, proved to be hateful to the majority of Egyptians, including the members of the army… Akhenaten agreed to abdicate and left Amarna with Pa-Nehesy, the high priest of Aten, and a few of his followers, to live in exile in the area of Sarabit El-Khadem in southern Sinai. [Parallels Moses fleeing Egypt for “a long time” (Exodus 2-4)]

The root of the name Moses is in the Egyptian word Mos which means "child." But this word also had a wider legal meaning—"the rightful son and heir." As it was punishable by death to mention Akhenaten's name after his banishment, a code name was established through which his followers could refer to him. Therefore they called him MOs, the son, to indicate that he was the legitimate son of Amenhotep III and the rightful heir to his father's throne. The ancient Egyptian language had no written vowels, although the vowels were pronounced. The written word meaning a child or son consisted of two consonants, m and s, It is therefore easy to see that the Hebrew word, Moses, was derived from the Egyptian, Mos. The final 's' of Moses derives from the Greek translation of the biblical name.

Akhenaten/Moses decided to leave his exile in Sinai and come back to Egypt, in order to reclaim his throne. In his rough Bedouin clothes, Akhenaten/Moses arrived with his allies at General Pa-Ramses' residence in the border city of Zarw, his birthplace, which had now been turned into a prison for his followers. [Parallels the enslavement of the Jews to the Egyptians (Exodus 5:9)] Akhenaten/Moses challenged Pa-Ramses' right to the throne [“At least as early as Eusebius of Caesarea,[58] Ramesses II (also spelled “Ramses”) was identified with the pharaoh of whom the Biblical figure Moses demanded his people be released from slavery” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramesses_II#Pharaoh_of_the_Exodus).] The general, taken by surprise, decided to call a meeting of the wise men of Egypt to decide between them. [as Pharaoh summons “the wise men and the sorcerers” before Moses. (Ex. 7:11)] At the gathering, Akhenaten/Moses produced his scepter of royal power [as Moses produces a rod when performing the first of his miracles (Ex. 7:9)], which he had taken with him to exile, and performed secret rituals that only the king could have had knowledge of.
General Pa-Ramses ascended to the Egyptain throne as Ramses I, the first Pharoah of the 19th dynasty. Left with no choice but to flee from Egypt with his followers—the Israelites and Egyptians who embraced the Atenist faith—Akhenaten/Moses began the Exodus toward the Sinai via the marshy area to the south of Zarw and north of Lake Temsah, as this watery route would hinder the pursuit of Egyptian chariots.

-LAMB & HOG SACRIFICED IN EGYPT, MADE BY GOD TO RESEMBLE THE PASSOVER LAMB, A TYPE OF CHRIST

"To Dionysus [a symbol of God, as shown below] on the eve of his feast, every Egyptian sacrifices a hog before the door of his house." (Herodotus's History 2.48) Truly did every Jew in Egypt have to sacrifice a lamb and put its blood on his doorpost in order to avoid being destroyed by God, and celebrate this feast ever after by slaying a lamb at this time of the year, to symbolize Jesus the "Lamb of God" (John 1:29) being sacrificed to God the Father on the day of Passover and thereby SAVING FROM DESTRUCTION THOSE WHO ARE COVERED BY HIS BLOOD BY HAVING FAITH IN HIM.

Zeus (symbol of God) was said to have flayed a ram (an adult male LAMB), cut off its head, and "cover himself with the fleece." Then, IN EGYPT "UPON ONE DAY IN THE YEAR...AT THE FESTIVAL OF ZEUS, they SLAY A SINGLE RAM, and stripping off the fleece, cover with it the statue of that god, as he once covered himself, and then bring up to the statue of Zeus an image of HERACLES (also called Hercules, another symbol of God, as shown below)." (Herodotus's History 2.42) So did the Jews have an annual festival for God on the day of Passover to commemorate the day when the Passover Lamb by being slain IN EGYPT prevented God from destroying them, and so did God the Son the "Lamb of God" present himself as a sacrifice to God the Father!

-The Three Pyramids of Giza, including THE GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA in Egypt [~2560 BC-present], & the GREAT SPHINX

sphinx Great Sphinx pyramid The Three Pyramids of Giza

-An entire book was written by a man named Dr. Capt called Stonehenge and Druidism - Did a Divine Hand guide the building of Stonehenge? which like me argues that God guided the building of Stonehenge, given the superhuman knowledge embedded in it. This man also wrote a book called The Great Pyramid Decoded: God's Stone Witness (pictured above) which argues the same point about the Great Pyramid of Giza!

-(from http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/great.htm:) Jeremiah 32:20, "God has set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and have made Yourself a Name, as at this day." [Although the context of that verse refers to the "signs and wonders" at the time that Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, it could also be referring to the Pyramid, as the next verse I quote from Isaiah implies. That there were signs there in the past points to the possibility that there are signs still there today.] ... Isaiah 19:19-20 says,"In THAT DAY there will 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 a SIGN and a WITNESS to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry to the LORD because of the oppressors, and He shall send them a Savior, and a Great One and He shall deliver them."

The Great Pyramid will be standing "in that day," when the Seventh Trumpet announces the great and dreadful day of the Lord and two prophets go forth to introduce the parousia of Israel's Savior Who will deliver them according to their faith. The word "IT" conveys the idea that the "altar" and "pillar" are one and the same object.

The Great Pyramid is located at Giza, which means "border," on the border of Upper and Lower Egypt, and stands at the geographical center or MIDST of Egypt, defining the segment of a circle around the Nile Delta subtended by diagonal lines extending northwest and northeast.
The Pyramid is certainly a "pillar" as the text requires, and also an "altar" in the sense of being a witness to the Lord. Joshua 22:26-27 "Let us now prepare to build us an ALTAR, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice: But that it may be a WITNESS between us, and you, and our generations after us. . ."

The gematria of Isaiah 19:19-20: also identifies the Great Pyramid as God's special revelation. Gematria is the science of finding meaning in the numerical value of words and was used by Ivan Panin and others to demonstrate the Supernatural inspiration of Holy writ. Having no numerals, the Hebrews designated the letters of their alphabet with a numerical value. Thus every word has the numerical value of the sum of the value of its letters. The sum of the value of all Hebrew characters in the these verses is 5449, the height in inches of the Great Pyramid!

-(from http://www.anchorstone.com/content/view/231/74/:) "The average height of Earth's landmass, above sea level, as can be measured and calculated by modern-day satellite technology is 5,449". Well, what do you know, this is the vertical height of the Pyramid...Clearly whoever designed and built the structure had special insight concerning not only engineering but astronomy, mathematics, topography, geography, and theology...The word is a combination of two Greek words, "pyra" - meaning fire, light, or visible and "midos" - meaning measures. So, quite literally we could call the Pyramid the, "Visible Measures Monument." "

-http://www.bible411.com/newsletters/nb200110.htm, http://www.anchorstone.com/content/view/231/74/, http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/great.htm, http://www.hunkler.com/pyramids/pyramid_symbolism.html, http://www.greatpyramid.org/aip/gr-pyr1.htm: tons of facts, symbolized in the pyramid, that no man knew at the time of the pyramid's construction (ex. pi, from the perimeter or "circumference" of the pyramid's square base divided by twice the pyramid's height, which can be thought of as the diameter of a circle; how to "square the circle" or make the perimeter of a square equal the circumference of a circle, the speed of light? Earth's volume & mass?, and much more)="In Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom & knowledge." (Colossians 2:3)

-The Great Pyramid was the largest building in the world for 3,800 years=God is the largest [i.e. fills the most space] being in the world

-http://www.ask-aladdin.com/pyramid.htm: as Twin Tower #2 was only about 6 ft. shorter than Twin Tower #1, and the 3rd & 7th World Trade Center Towers (candidates for symbols of the Holy Spirit) less than 1/2 the size of the other two; so is the 2nd Giza Pyramid shorter than the 1st by only about 9 ft (454 vs. 445 ft), and so is the 3rd less than 1/2 the size of the other two (about 203 ft.)

-the three Pyramids of Giza are more famous than any of the more than 93 pyramids (http://www.ask-aladdin.com/pyramid.htm), apparently all dedicated to Pharaohs (kings thought to be like gods) to show that the Holy Trinity is and ever will be more famous & exalted than any other kings of this world

-Triangular faces symbolic of the Holy Trinity?

-the Egyptians "commonly call the pyramids after Philitis [contains the Greek word "philia" which means "love], a shepherd who at that time fed his flocks about the place." (Herodotus History 2.128) How fitting, for the construction of these pyramids was guided by the LORD "our shepherd" (Psalm 23, John 10), and "God is love." (1 John)

-Evidence that Menkaure's pyramid is a symbol of one of the three persons of God, though not any specific one: "Mycerinus [Greek name for Menkaure] son of Cheops [Greek for Khufu] had "justice in the decision of causes [which] was beyond that of all the former kings. The Egyptians praise him in this respect more highly than any of their other monarchs." His only child died, which he entombed in a "sacred cow" with a representation of the sun between its horns. He himself was told by an oracle, which was fulfilled, that he would die seven years (the number in the Bible signifying completion) after the proclamation of the oracle. Mycerinus remarks: "I, who am pious, am to die so soon!" (Herodotus History 129-33) Truly is God more just than any other ruler (for He will "reward each according to His works," paying a richer reward to he who glorifies God more and greater punishment to he who dishonors God more), truly did He lose "His only begotten Son" who is symbolized by the Sun and the "sacred cow" (Leviticus 19), and truly did God die young when He became incarnate as Jesus though He was pious & sinless.

-Evidence that the Sphinx & Khafre's pyramid are symbols of one of the three persons of God: Khafre's name means "appearing like Ra." "The pharaohs were believed to be the incarnations of the god Horus [the SUN god] in life [2], and of Osiris in death." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharaoh)

-as with other symbols of the Trinity (ex. water's composition: hydrogen-hydrogen-oxygen, the 3 conic sections: parabola-hyperbola-ellipse, nipple-nipple-belly button, upper arm-lower arm-hand, main parts of the brain: cerebrum-cerebellum-medulla), two members look more similar to one another than the third (in this case, Khufu-Khafre-Menkaure, the former two of which are much more similar in size)

-(from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Pyramids:) "While it is generally agreed that pyramids were burial monuments, there is continued disagreement on the particular theological principles that might have given rise to them. One theory is that they were designed as a type of "resurrection machine."[6]
The Egyptians believed the dark area of the night sky around which the stars appear to revolve was the physical gateway into the heavens. One of the narrow shafts that extends from the main burial chamber through the entire body of the Great Pyramid points directly towards the center of this part of the sky. This suggests the pyramid may have been designed to serve as a means to magically launch the deceased pharaoh's soul directly into the abode of the gods."[Truly was Jesus resurrected and truly did He then ascend into heaven, as is recorded in Acts of the Apostles Ch.1, and dwells there still today!]

-The Great Sphinx has the body of a lion as Jesus is called a lion (Revelation 5:5) and is generally thought to represent Khafre the second of the three persons represented by the three pyramids as Jesus is the second person of the Trinity

-Therefore, the pyramids' construction was guided by God without the builders' knowledge, as I later show the Parthenon, Notre Dame & the Twin Towers, and the Colossus of Rhodes & the Statue of Liberty were!
