The Pyramid and the Pentagram
Do you see the connection?
The Great Pyramid is entered along a descending passageway about 345 feet in length. At a distance of 18 metres is a junction with one corridor continuing to descend while the other begins to rise. The descending passage leads to a subterranean chamber some thirty metres below the base of the pyramid. The purpose of this chamber has yet to be explained, nor has the purpose of a passageway leading south for just over 16 metres before reaching a dead end. Another puzzle is the purpose of a shaft, approximately 17 metres, deep between the north and south walls.
The ascending passageway, which was originally sealed with three blocks of pink granite each weighing seven tons, rises at a gradient of just over 26 degrees for a length of 129 feet. This leads to the ascending Grand Gallery, still considered to be a masterpiece of construction technology. Another narrow shaft leads from just outside the entrance to the subterranean chamber to join at the lower end of the Grand Gallery. This has been called an escape tunnel or air shaft, but its true purpose remains unknown.
Another passageway leads to the so-called Queen’s Chamber measuring 18 feet 10 inches long, 17 feet, 2 inches wide and 15 feet high. This is acknowledged to have been misnamed by early Arab explorers and is aligned precisely on the pyramids east-west axis. There is a niche in the east wall, probably to hold a statue. Two narrow shafts measuring approximately 20 x 20 centimetres square rise at an angle from the north and south walls of the Queen’s chamber
The upper end of the Great Gallery leads to the so-called King’s Chamber. This measures 10.45 metres by 5.20 metres and is 5.80 metres high. Two further rising shafts of similar size, climb from this chamber at an angle of approximately 32 degrees. These rise in the same direction as those from the lower Queen’s Chamber again pointing towards Sirius and the northern stars.
Despite countless theories including the idea of the pyramid being a tomb, the true purpose of these chambers remains unknown. Mystery also surrounds the purpose of these rising shafts. If they continued and emerged from the pyramid’s side, the northern shaft would point towards the circumpolar stars Minoris, Ursa and Beta while the southern shaft is aligned towards Sirius. However, these shafts are blocked by what are sometimes called, doors, part way along and continue after. Their full length has yet to be explored.
Mystery remains because men look from the perspective of men. Academics look from the perspective of academia. When trying to solve this mystery, most stand in either the king’s or the queen’s chamber trying to visualise what they would see up through these shafts, but an interesting vision appears when this is reversed. Instead of looking up, visualise looking down at a similar angle. Visualise looking from the position of the gods.
As an exercise, look down on a model pyramid from the position of the Goddess, as if looking down one of these rising shafts to the chamber within. Now trace an imaginary line from the top of the pyramid to the front right corner. Extend this back diagonally across the base to the rear left corner. Continue across to the rear right corner. Now come diagonally back across the base to the front left, extend this back to the top.
You have just drawn a pentagram.
From the perspective of the Goddess, anyone standing within the two upper chambers of the pyramid would equate to standing in the centre of a pentagram. The reverse then applies. Standing within a pentagram would equate to standing under the eye of the Goddess within the pyramid. Note that the ancient Dogon tribe of North Africa called Sirius, the Eye star.
