Origin of the Pyramids.

Placement of the Capstone on Menkara's Pyramid.

the interior of the eastern pyramid of Egypt, near the ancient city of Cairo.

The labyrinthian passages leading from the exterior to my father's tomb, cannot be fathomed by mortals of modem times; nor can the entrance on the exterior surface of the pyramid be discovered, so accurately are the joints blended.

In regard to your query, relative to the Great Sphinx at Gizeh, I will say that the Colossal Shemozan, or now known ' "Sphinx," at the base of the great Pyramid at Gizeh, Egypt, of which so little is known by mortals, was, in one sense, of Atlantian construction and sculpture, it having been designed and constructed by Atlantis Shemozan, the first Shacha (ruler), and his son, Atlantis Saban, the second, and subsequent Shachaza (rulers), descendants of the Cuzetens, which latter-named people were descendants from remnant Atlantians, who survived the • 215

The Cuzetens who settled in Gasbia, or especially those who settled in the region of the Pyramids, were originally governed by a Sha'cha (god or supreme ruler), who rose to that rank by being the one of the nation who could originate or create the

This labyrinthian chamber was the place of the entombment of the remains of all the mortal rulers, or gods, from the time of Atlantis Shemozan and Atlantis Saban, and other rulers who superintended the building of this image, to its completion (down even to the time of the erection of the early pyramids).

PRE-HISTORIC CITIES, TEMPLES, AND THE ORIGIN OF THE PYRAMIDS.

C., while Egypt was in its greatness, the oldest, largest city of that region, then known as Ma-wilt'za, had place north of the now known Abu-Roash Pyramid.

Their Necropolis extended southwestward toward the great Pyramid of Abu-Roash, which was the greatest Pyramidal work of the Cuzetens of Shamisrex, and was erected during the period between 9700 and 9000, B.

C, the Cuzetens had become populous in the region now known as the "Sakkarah Necropic" section, whose principal city, then known as Je-lu'ce-an, had place just south of the Sakkarah Ca-zu'das (Pyramids).

The principal rulers, preceding those contemporaneous with the building of the large Cazudas of Sakkarah, were entombed in the small ones at first, but removed to the larger ones in subsequent time, by succeeding rulers, who wanted their ancestors' place in greater tombs, which fact was really the cause of the establishment of the "greater Pyramids" of Sakkarah.

section of the now known Abusir Pyramids, and their principal city, then known as A-bii's'ir, had place east of the Abusir Cazu- das, on the west shore of the Hammo, or Nile river, the name having descended, unchanged, to the present.

These are the Cazudas, or Pyramids, that mark the Necropolis of that city.

The "Great Cazuda of Abusir" was begun by Lieusemus II, in order to carry out the idea of greater work, which ability, vastness in concept, established the "choice of rulers" from the time of the construction of the Great Shemozan, of Sphinx at Gizeh, to that of the last Pyramid builders.

The inward-drawn dome gave rise to the idea of, or origin of, the rounded domes that now have place on the tombs of the Caliphs, the Mosques of the Sultans, etc., with the change of form, from that of the indrawn pyramid sides, to the perfectly round diametrical form, with the apex extension above the dome .

It likewise gave the original idea which later developed into the Obelisks; and the base of the Temple, that of the Pyramids.

the Cuzetens had become numerous in the district of Medum, and their principal city, first known as Ri-acrii'ser, named after their ruler, but afterwards changed to that of Ka-ren'tiim, in honor of the subsequent ruler, of that name, had place east of the now known Great Pyramid of Medum.

PLACEMENT OF THE CAP-STONE ON MENKARA'S PYRAMID.

— "Will you gratify the world by giving us the method you employed when placing the cap-stone on your great Pyramid?" A.

— "I, Menkara, the Osirian, aforetime Pharaoh of the land of Kehm, will gratify my son of the Western Continent, and explain the method employed in raising the cap-stone upon the Pyramid named.

"When the weight reached the ground, it was found that the cap-stone had not reached a sufficient elevation to crown the Pyramid.

"After this had been done, elephants were strapped to ropes, which had been attached to the cap-stone and carried over the Pyramid so that they reached to the ground on the other side of the Pyramid, where the elephants were harnessed to them.

"I omitted to state that the mound was elongated, in form, and of a height equal to the Pyramid ,except superstructural fulcrum and galleries in the rear; and that the metal bands, to which the cap-stone was attached, were of sufficient length to slide upon the lever ; hence, when the elephants on the other side

of the Pyramid drew the suspended cap-stone over the top of the Pyramid, the metal bands permitted the cap-stone to rest above its bed ; also, that the height of the fulcrum and galleries, located upon the mound, was equal to the height of the Pyramid.

Such, for instance, as the gorgeous buildings found on the table-lands of Anahuac, or Mexico; or in the humid valleys of Central America, and along the peninsula of Yucatan and the shores of Honduras; the great Mexican Pyramid; the wonderful remains, at Palenque and Papantla, or the many towns through Central America, Chiapas and Yucatan, discovered during the last century in the almost impenetrable forests of those regions, some of which were characterized with extensive and highly decorated structures, whose walls were of hewn stone, finely put together with mortar, and bearing hieroglyphical inscriptions, exactly resembing the Aztec Manuscripts (such as are now shown in the museums of Europe, and in the publications of Humboldt), or the well-executed roofs and obelisks there, covered with mythical figures, and pictorial or hieroglyphical inscriptions, all so densely concealed by the luxuriant vegetation of the region, that they remained totally unknown for ages, even by people living in close proximity to them.

the works of Hillothean, Calluenden, and subsequent pre-historic Teliusa, as given above, which we utilize as the proper links with which to make the connection of pre-historic events in the Cycle of Architecture, which must be done principally in the regions of Egypt where the pre-historic and historic Necropolis sections are marked with such remnant monumental evidences as are em-bodied in the great Mastabas, Pyramids, Temples, Obelisks, the great Sphinx at Gizeh, etc.

For instance, leading up to the "Art of Construction," we note the great Embankments of the Nile, done under the influential reign of Menes, the first King of Dynasty I, who established, the Temple of Ptah, at Memphis; also the great Mastabas of Sakkarah, the greater of which, a very archaic structure among pyramids, was established by Uenephus, fourth Trinite King, or of Dynasty I ; the great Pyramids of Gizeh; those of Aboo-Seer; those of Dahshoor; the great Mastaba or Pyramid of Medum, or Meydoum, etc.

Passing on with the influence that the Siloton Teliusa had established by their Teliusatic, such as the Mastabas, Pyramids, and other tumuli, to the effect it had upon a further development of the Art, we find it manifested in various forms of Temples, with their accompanying Obelisks, in which the grandest ideas of the descended Te-ll-u'sa were embodied; marking an epoch that extended from the time of the establishment of Thebes, as a capitol city, about 2000 years B.

Finally, in consideration of the Architectural influences, viz., those of disembodied spirits, co-operative with the yet embodied, or mortal spirits, through the establishment of the original and developed styles of Architecture, that have arisen and developed from the Atlantian Cemetteza or Arch, and the Kisare or Column, which led up to their exquisite Gretictor or Architecture, which in that period of time embraced the Tilze or Ionic, the Nuzeleth or Doric, the Admus or Corinthian, the Itheze or Caryatic, the lothees or Composite, re-embodied in the original Itma or Column, and Itmas or Arches of Egypt, the Duzees or Dolmens, the Kerelthees or Circles, the Cazudas or Pyramids, the Heltees or Tumuli, etc., that in process of development led up to the magnificent structures of the twentieth century, through the above-named styles or orders of the Greeks and Romans, and the dwellings of all nations, especially the palaces or mansions of the emperors, kings, potentates and other nobility ; the monastic edifices, churches and cathedrals, edifices of governments, states and municipalities; corporate structures, including col-leges, academies, schools, libraries, art galleries, museums, societies, railway stations, etc., among which, as representative epi- cycles of the whole Architectural Cycle, or links with which to connect the modern extension to that of the remote Ancient or Atlantian, the pre-historic, and the Modern-Ancient, m evidence of the ultimatum of the great originating and developing forces, and influences of the seen and unseen, or Spirit and Mortal work-ers, we have chosen such structures as the Mosques of Tooloon and Kaid Bay at Cairo, Egypt; the Temples of Confucius, Shanghai, of Heaven and of Agriculture at Pekin, China; the Kylas of Ellora, and the Temples at Tiravalur, and Tanjore,

He utilized a red clay to form miniature pyramids, but subsequently, he conceived the idea of moulding clay in low relief style, when he chose various subjects for representation, such as vines and vegetation generally; and at a still later period, he wrought half columns, of those in high relief, which were then utilized for general architectural ornamentation.

A footnote says the Grand Gallery of the Great Pyramid terminates at the number 1881-2.

1881 and the pyramid.

The year 1881 was the last of the old, shown, she writes, by many prophecies and particularly by the testimony of the Great Pyramid.

For a pyramid reading that is about the stones rather than the year 1881, the Great Pyramid pages already on this site are the place to set her footnote beside.

The year 1881, she writes in the same note, was shown to be the last of the old dispensation by many prophecies, and particularly by the testimony of the Great Pyramid, the pillar of witness to the Lord on the borders of the land of Egypt, which she ties to Isaiah 19:19.
