1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000 At we find pie incorporated with great precision 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,680 into the dimensions of the great pyramid of Egypt, 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,920 the last surviving wonder of the ancient world, 4 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,320 which is at least four and a half thousand years old, 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:19,320 perhaps older, and which long predates any Greek civilization. 6 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,560 Egyptologists don't dispute that pie is found in this monument 7 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,280 and it's found in precisely the ratio 8 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,080 that we need to calculate the circumference of a sphere 9 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,080 from its radius. 10 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,600 If you take the height of the great pyramid 11 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,240 and multiply it by two pie, 12 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,320 you get an exact printout of the perimeter of the base. 13 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:44,320 The Egyptological theory on this is that it happened by accident, 14 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,600 that the Egyptians or whoever built the pyramid 15 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,160 incorporated pie in it by accident. 16 00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:51,080 It was just one of those things. 17 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,280 And in Egyptological theory, it has to be an accident 18 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,480 because they cannot accept that the pyramid builders 19 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,800 had knowledge of advanced mathematics. 20 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,640 I do not think it's an accident 21 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,240 and nor do any of my colleagues working in this field. 22 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,160 And one of the reasons that we don't think it's an accident 23 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,480 is to do with this phenomenon of precession, 24 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,320 the wobble, on the axis of the earth 25 00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:16,320 that I've mentioned to you already, 26 00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:19,480 which takes place at a very precise rate. 27 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,400 I'm going to need to explain this in a little bit of detail, 28 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,480 involve some numbers. 29 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,280 When you take the height of the great pyramid 30 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:32,280 and multiply it by a particular value by 43,200, 31 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,720 you get an exact printout of the polar radius of the earth. 32 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,560 And when you take the base perimeter of the great pyramid 33 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,680 and multiply it by that same value, 43,200, 34 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,760 you get a printout of the equatorial circumference of the earth. 35 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,160 We think that one of the many functions of this monument 36 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,600 was to serve as a mathematical scale model 37 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,200 of the northern hemisphere of the earth. 38 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:02,080 And the reason that we think that is the scale used. 39 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,680 This monument to use one of Richard Holgland's phrases, 40 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,720 knows where it is on the planet. 41 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,640 It knows what it is. 42 00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:11,000 I'll try and explain why. 43 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,160 There are four key moments astronomically speaking 44 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,720 in the year. 45 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,920 The winter solstice, when the north polar of the earth 46 00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:27,040 points most directly away from the sun. 47 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,920 The summer solstice, the longest day, 48 00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:32,200 when the north polar points most directly towards the sun. 49 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,920 And the two equinoxes spring and autumn, 50 00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:39,520 when the earth in its orbit lies broadside on to the sun. 51 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,920 It's an accident of the cosmos that in the plane 52 00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:45,200 of the earth's orbit around the sun, 53 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,040 which astronomers call the Ecliptic, 54 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,640 but, of course, at a vast distance away in space, 55 00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:54,160 are distributed 12 famous constellations. 56 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,760 These are the 12 constellations of the zodiac. 57 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,920 And because of this phenomenon of precession, 58 00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:04,400 the background constellation against which the sun 59 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,160 is seen to rise at dawn on the spring equinox, 60 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,120 very slowly changes. 61 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,560 The earth reaches this broadside on moment to the sun 62 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,760 slightly earlier in its orbit each year. 63 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,000 It's a difference of one degree every 72 years. 64 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,600 The effect of this is that the ruling astronomical sign, 65 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,280 the ruling constellation of the zodiac, 66 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,280 which houses the sun on the spring equinox, 67 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,960 very slowly changes. 68 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,120 And it takes 2,160 years exactly for the sun 69 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,360 to pass entirely through one sign of the zodiac. 70 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,600 That's what the old song about living in the dawning 71 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,960 of the age of Aquarius is to do with. 72 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,440 Aquarius will soon be housing the sun 73 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,400 on the spring equinox as a result of the phenomenon of precession. 74 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:54,880 Now, if you take 2,160 and multiply it by 20, 75 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,480 you get 43,200, which is the scale used 76 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,440 in the pyramid earth ratio. 77 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,000 And we think that it was very deliberately used 78 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000 to signal what this monument is, one of its functions. 79 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,040 They wanted to build a monument that was very massive 80 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,760 and that no reversion to barbarism could destroy 81 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,280 and which was a mathematical scale model 82 00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:21,440 of the northern hemisphere of the earth. 83 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,680 They needed a scale on these criteria, 84 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,200 somewhere between 1 to 40,000 and 1 to 50,000. 85 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:34,680 And they chose 1 to 43,200 because it's a significant scale 86 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,400 because their mathematical model of the earth 87 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,040 was keyed in to the earth itself by the scale used, 88 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,680 keyed in to the characteristic signature of the earth, 89 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,120 the rate of precession of its axis, 90 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:55,160 43,200 being connected mathematically to the rate of precession. 91 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,720 The intention was that in a future time, 92 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,720 an astronomically literate civilization 93 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,960 would be able to work out the cleverness 94 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,680 that went into the design of this monument, 95 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,840 what those ancient pyramid builders did not reckon with, 96 00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:12,360 was that the site would be monopolized for 150 years 97 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,520 by a group of intellectual barbarians called Egyptologists, 98 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,560 who cannot accept under any circumstances 99 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,920 that any intelligent behavior of this sort 100 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,160 could have been connected to the last surviving wonder 101 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,520 of the ancient world. 102 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,120 I'm standing on top of the great pyramid here. 103 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,120 And that means I'm standing on latitude 30. 104 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,760 The great pyramid stands precisely one third of the way 105 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,600 between the equator and the north pole. 106 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,880 Egyptologists noticed, but again, they regard it as an accident. 107 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,880 So many accidents are called for by their theory of history. 108 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,160 But I think it's time we seriously question that theory 109 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,880 and stop blindly accepting it. 110 00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:00,040 This monument weighs six million tons, six million tons. 111 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,640 And it sides are perfectly oriented 112 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,440 to the cardinal directions. 113 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,280 The north face of the great pyramid faces directly 114 00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:09,280 towards the north pole of the earth. 115 00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:14,320 The deviation is just 360 of a single degree. 116 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,760 By the way, the deviation of the Meridian Building 117 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,600 of the Grand Duchess of the Eritre in London 118 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,320 is 960s of a degree. 119 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,920 This monument is more precisely aligned to true north 120 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,640 than the Grand Duchess of the Eritre in London. 121 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,640 This monument is the work of master astronomers 122 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,240 and master engineers, master surveyors, 123 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,880 workers, brilliance and genius. 124 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:41,280 A work that we should all stand before in awe, 125 00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:44,120 not with any certainties, but with open minds 126 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,840 and open hearts. 127 00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:49,400 Above all else, is a sacred place. 128 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,320 It's a place of mystery magic, a place 129 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,920 that works on the imagination, a place 130 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,480 that generates questions to those who do approach it 131 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,920 with humility and with an open mind. 132 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,040 We're looking at a cross section of the Great Pyramid here, 133 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,480 along its Meridian axis, north to south. 134 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,120 And as you can see, it's pledifully equipped 135 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:21,680 with shafts and chambers and galleries and narrow corridors. 136 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,880 All of these features are engineering marvels 137 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,120 to create this kind of internal structure 138 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,320 in a monument on that scale 139 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,400 is an unbelievably difficult task. 140 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,040 Let's take a quick tour around the Great Pyramid. 141 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,680 We'll start by going down the descending corridor 142 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,200 and then I'll take you to the Queen's Chamber 143 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,520 and the Grand Gallery. 144 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:44,960 And finally, the King's Chamber. 145 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,080 But before I do so, I just want to mention a little bit 146 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,120 about these four shafts here. 147 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,960 The southern shaft of the so-called Queen's Chamber 148 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,400 was found in 1993 to have a little door at the end of it. 149 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,840 The shaft is eight inches wide and eight inches high 150 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,440 and it was explored with a high-tech robot camera in 1993. 151 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,160 And as soon as that door was discovered, 152 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,160 the research into the shaft was stopped 153 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,360 in a most sinister and extraordinary manner. 154 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,480 And at the end of our presentations, Robert and I 155 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,280 will be presenting to you the latest information 156 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,480 for what is happening concerning that door 157 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,560 and also concerning a chamber beneath the Great 158 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:25,560 's things of Egypt. 159 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:30,200 And very disturbing things, indeed, are happening 160 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,240 at Giza today and we want to tell you about this. 161 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,520 But we'll come to that later. 162 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,560 Let's take a quick run around the Great Pyramid now. 163 00:08:35,560 --> 00:08:38,600 We'll start by going down the descending corridor. 164 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,520 The descending corridor is perfectly straight. 165 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,840 In fact, it doesn't vary by more than quarter of an inch 166 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,120 from perfectly straight along its entire 350 foot length. 167 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,200 It's three feet five inches high and three feet five inches wide. 168 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,040 And at the bottom of it, we find the subterranean chamber. 169 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,160 So-called now. 170 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,320 Egyptologists have a theory about this chamber. 171 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,160 And everything is theory where the Great Pyramid is concerned 172 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,040 because the monument is unscribed. 173 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,280 There's nothing really in it which tells us 174 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,440 what the chambers are for. 175 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,360 It's all theory. 176 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,680 The Egyptological theory about this subterranean chamber 177 00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:15,880 is based on its unfinished appearance, 178 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,640 these fins of rock that we find at the Western end 179 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,520 and to the generally rough look of it. 180 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,840 What they want us to believe is that after quarrying out 181 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,120 more than 2,000 tons of rock from that perfectly straight 182 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,200 descending corridor and pains taking the removing them 183 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,520 from the bedrock under the Great Pyramid. 184 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,600 And having finally got down here more than 100 feet 185 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,600 below the base of the Great Pyramid. 186 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,720 And having started to carve out this chamber 187 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,000 from the bedrock, those whimsical ancient Egyptians 188 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,800 at the last minute just changed their minds 189 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,400 and decided to go no further because the Egyptological theory 190 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,080 is that this was originally intended to be the burial chamber 191 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,840 of Kufu, the Pharaoh who they think the pyramid was built for. 192 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,080 So those ancient Egyptian buildings after doing all that 193 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,920 incredibly precise work while they just changed their minds 194 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,160 and they decided to stick the body of the Pharaoh 195 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,360 somewhere else in the Great Pyramid. 196 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,240 Actually, the body of the Pharaoh has never been found 197 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,240 in the Great Pyramid. 198 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,640 The Great Pyramid was found to be completely empty 199 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,120 when it was first opened by the Arabs in the 9th century. 200 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,560 And we think that this unfinished burial chamber routine 201 00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:31,240 is a load of, excuse me, a load of blocks. 202 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,600 I mean, it's just absolute nonsense. 203 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,560 These people knew exactly what they were doing. 204 00:10:37,560 --> 00:10:39,760 Everything they did had a purpose. 205 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,680 You stand down in the subterranean chamber. 206 00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:45,720 You can hear somebody sing in the King's chamber. 207 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,680 250 feet above you through all that mass of solid rock. 208 00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:53,720 The acoustic effects of this monumental extraordinary. 209 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,480 And one thing that our friend John Anthony West has suggested, 210 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,160 and I think it's a damn site better theory 211 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,360 than the theory of the Egyptologists, 212 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,160 is that what they were actually doing with this chamber 213 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,080 was tuning the pyramid. 214 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,960 But they were tuning its acoustic effects. 215 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,760 And when they had extracted precisely the right amount of rock 216 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,240 from under the pyramid to hit precisely the right note 217 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,520 that they wanted, that's when they stopped. 218 00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:16,920 That's why it looks unfinished. 219 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,320 It's not unfinished at all. 220 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,720 It was fulfilling a plan, a function. 221 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,880 And everything about this site is planned.
