Our Cosmic Ancestors by Maurice Chatelain Page B

down deep inside the Great Pyramid into hard rock to find the hidden chamber, but his digging was not deep enough and he found nothing. If a hidden room exists, it could have very interesting contents. Among other items, it could conceivably hide the resting place of the very first pharaoh of celestial origin and also, no doubt, a freeze generator and an electromagnetic radiation source of some kind, all probably powered by changing water levels of the Nile, the cause of which for the Egyptians was the star Sothis, their name for Sirius.

    Point P could be the location of an underground temple containing the astronomical and mathematical secrets of the ancient Egyptians or their ancestors.
    As we saw from the experiences of Alvarez, some radiation source exists under the Pyramid of Kephren and it is very probable that the hidden chamber of the priests is no figment of imagination. An indication in favour of this suspicion is the fact that no historical, scientific, or astrological documents of the ancient Egyptian priests have ever been found, even though the search goes on with the full approval of the Egyptian government, which is eager to have more of the country's glorious past discovered and revealed to the world.
    Of course, modern technology plays the most important part in these archaeological explorations. Infrared photography by plane and satellite has revealed hundreds of ancient sites buried for millennia in desert sand. One single infrared photograph taken during one of the first Apollo space missions in the 1960s uncovered more than one thousand towns, villages, canals, and highways under the desert. What can be glimpsed from space is merely the tip of the iceberg, but we can be sure that with our modern technical means much more will be discovered very soon. The methods of search are developing fast and successfully.
    Meanwhile we can discover a few things just by contemplation and reflection. When I was in Egypt studying the alignment of different monuments, I was struck by the different angle of each addition to buildings that had been made over long periods of time. Thus the temple at Karnak, adjacent to Luxor, larger than the cathedrals of Milan, Rome, & Paris together, has been elongated on three occasions with new sections. The change in the longitudinal axis between the first and the last added sections is 15 ° . And it's not hard to determine why.
    We know that, unlike many other calendars, the Egyptian calendar was not based on movements of the Sun, the Moon, or even the planets Jupiter and Saturn, but on apparent motions of the star Sirius. This celestial reference point moves by 1 ° every 72 years, so that 15 ° correspond to 1,080 years, or 3 times 360. That tells us that the temple at Karnak was realigned with the star Sirius once every 360 years, so that the priests could maintain their line of vision on certain stars or constellations on certain days of the solar year.
    One thousand and eighty years is one-tenth of the great year of the Babylonians and the Hindus, and the 108-year cycle of the Rosicrucians is one-hundredth of the 10,800-year Great Cycle. This international fraternity, devoted to the application of religious mysticism to modern life, alternates its secret activities with public action every 108 years. So it was secret from 1807 until 1915 and will close its present public period in 2023.
    To come back to the hidden treasures of the pharaohs, let's examine the map of Giza, a western suburb of Cairo, where the three pyramids and the Sphinx are situated. The diagonals of the Cheops and Kephren pyramids both run on the same axis northeast to southwest, and one of the diagonals of the Mykerinos Pyramid cuts the alignment of the other two pyramids at a given point P. When we observe now the geometrical centre of the Sphinx, we find that it can be aligned with the southern face of the Kephren
