My Theory on why the Great Pyramid was Built

My Theory on why the Great Pyramid was Built
© Copyright 2009 Michael J. Costa, M7

The Great Pyramid did not start out as a big project. It was built in stages not all at once. Every Pharaoh/Egyptian King had a limited duration on the throne, and it was in their mindset that they could not predict their own demise. So the pyramids started out as small ones, to be finished in a short time to safeguard against any possible danger to the King. In the case of Khufu/Cheops, the pyramid he built first was unfinished; the bottom chamber was his original burial chamber. Then he outlived his original prediction and the coming harvest time. So he added a new level. The “Queen’s Chamber” was his second attempt for a burial chamber, not for a “queen.” The Grand Gallery is the roof of this second pyramid. Then came the last stages. He added the burial chamber on top of this stage, above the “Queen’s Chamber,” with multiple ceilings, as if trying to find the appropriate top level (previously believed to lessen the weight of the blocks on top). This burial chamber, or the “King’s chamber”, is a Cenotaph with an empty sarcophagus to deceive thieves (and archaeologists) into believing it was already robbed. The actual burial chamber is probably not in the pyramid itself, but beside it, or inside a hidden or blocked chamber. Large stone “plugs” sealed or blocked the entrance to these chambers; what if the blocked idea also concealed the actual burial chamber? Or is the actual burial chamber further up inside the inaccessible apex? If the burial chamber is actually inside a smaller tomb outside the pyramid, this would ensure an afterlife for the King and his secrets would be safe; what then was the purpose of this building? Building in stages would be plausible because then any ‘secret chambers’ would be part of previous attempts of construction, added together into this mess of stone. No Pharaoh would want to be buried here. Khufu’s father, Sneferu, had a few pyramids to his name. His first one was made of mud brick (core) and probably would not last long. The Bent Pyramid was likewise flawed at the apex (top). If he was buried in one we cannot say because his remains are not available; perhaps pyramids were symbolic buildings to hold funerary ceremonies in? Their obviousness as a tomb would not serve to preserve their remains if everyone knew they were inside them. Unlike the Valley of the Kings where tombs were secret, and sometimes burrowed into another’s tomb.

Hi, Michael,

An interesting idea. The Great Pyramid as diversion, and as tribute. Certainly, this would explain the three chambers, and I DO think that all pyramids, at least in the Old Kingdom, were built incrementally, perhaps as you described. Wouldn't it be grand if somebody located Khufu's remains? (Although maybe not; it would be better for him, more respectful anyway, if his remains were undisturbed.)

On being recognized as a nation

On being recognized as a nation

What defines a country?
Some say it is a permanent population, or stable government, or land.
A wall-less State has no land if it exists within other nations (like land-locked Prague or the Vatican). New micro-states, or small nations, are real nations because they exist as a corporation or group / individuals who govern them, which is no different than an absolute monarchy. Micronations are said to be “unrecognized” but this does not mean they don’t exist or are not “real”, they are simply not being acknowledged because the majority has them on ignore. Palestine is a Micronation. It has a flag, leaders, and slowly defined territory and a purpose. The USA started out as a Micronation of penal colonies from England, who worked in the New World to find resources to send back home. So did Australia. The Church is a country of priests, based in the Vatican. It is not the Kingdom of God on Earth, because that is the UEIR, which is based in Duat (Netherworld). Count the numbers of annual deaths in the world and that number, though different each year, is a population census. Not everyone ends up in Paradise, or Heaven, or Aset Tchabet; some return to Earth as stateless individuals (ghosts) or are recycled. If the Church were a Kingdom, the Pope would be its King (the return of Christ is its unlikely heir). Recognition is a public ideology. If a nation is “top secret” then no one would know of its existence (UEIR). Anyone can declare their home or real estate a country, there is no law against it. They would liken it to a private company. As websites can be a private company, some people use websites to advertise new small nations that may exist only on paper, or are prototypes or movements. The USA Constitution is a piece of paper, not carved in stone. If it were destroyed in a fire, the USA would technically cease to exist legally. Recognition by other nations seems important for maintaining this identity as a real entity. There are 8 billion people on Earth, not everyone is recognized for their achievements, only the famous are and only they are thus “real.” The remainder are “fill-ins.” New nations do not need to be recognized because this wastes resources; they should focus on their purpose and direction first. Acquiring a population may come later; as in games, players may seem important but rules and the actions are predominant. Alexander the Great ruled in a Micronation; he conquered 2/3 of the world and ruled it by himself. Land, thus, was not important for him. Micronations are simply small governments. If people have micro-economies with individual currencies they may as well create Micronations to establish a basis for these ideas. I am not recognized for my achievements, after I told people that I was reborn (they believe I did this already previously and returned only to outdo my former selves). My ideas are often plagiarized by the public; count the number of people reading my blogs. Surely people know I exist, so I am real. Anyone visiting this planet will know I am here based on my traded ideas, remember my ideas from previous worlds, and acknowledge my presence. So I am not worried about recognition. People do forget. Acknowledgment is only as important as being taken seriously; art is oftentimes not serious, but a form of expression. Express your ideas as an individual. I foresee that the world, now, is of major nations slowly dissolving into individual ones, or unionized into larger groups or commonwealth types. Either the world is united as one nation, or recognized as 8 million lesser ones.
