The Great Pyramid of Giza has encoded the size and shape of the Earth, distance to the Sun, precession of the equinox, etc. Every decade someone discovers a new astronomical fact encoded in the Great Pyramid. I was there and left the tour group to look around, and found the entire structure is placed on top of a foundation of 500-800 ton precision cut stones. Seemed to me that the pyramid was a recent construction compared to that foundation. And still we have no idea how all this was built.
Along with a warning about the timing of the catastrophe, there should also be some info for rebuilding civilization so that humanity might be able to get further down the road before the next iteration. I often wonder, if we knew a global catastrophe was on the way, what could we leave behind so that the straggling survivors could rebuild the knowledge without having to reinvent everything from scratch. The first generation will have the memories from the old world, but our knowledge body is almost completely informed by our cultural ecosystem, that the facts known by the survivors won't make any sense to the second generation. So the question becomes, how does a self-replicating culture get created such that it can eventually discover and decode the messages left behind.
Michael, what are your thoughts on “mud flood” soil liquefaction? To me that makes more sense as to why so much of ancient stuff is buried, including gobekli tepe. The whole “bury it for future generations” seems off to me.
The amount of astronomical data encoded in the great pyramid and in Gizah Plateau as a group continues to be mostly dissed as mere fantasy by “mainstream”.
HI Michael, I definitely resonate with your last paragraph, I try to travel to a very dark place several times a year to see the Milky Way in person, sad that I have to do that due to extreme light pollution, how many people never see it anymore? Much more powerful in person than seeing images of stars/galaxies on screens, imo.
At first glance, and with a modern perspective, questioning curiosity seems to make sense. In terms of global events, for instance, the questioning mind is confronted with the immanant danger of an over privileged and hostile ruling class, the joyous realization that the indispensible people are actually genocidal maniacs, and that both of them are making normal existence quite the task.
So, why bother with curiosity? Just go about life with one's head down.
Well, there actually are very good reasons to allow one's curiosity to visit the record of ancient places, but here we will only mention one, one which might ignite a sense of humility and wonder in those capable. When we look upon those bones of vanished civilizations, we can see up close and personal that manking has always been subject to great forces beyond our control. It might dawn on us that we still are, and yet through it all, we are still here.
We regularly replace cells in our bodies. The greater being of which we are a part probably does the same... Wave after wave of rising and falling civilizations...
It still baffles me that the media is more interested in the foibles of fools than it is in stuff like the galactic current sheet, how to affect sunspot groups etc.
And thank you for your work with Safire and Aureon. Long my you travel, always remembering to bring your flute!
I would love to visit the Pyramids and the Sphinx, there is so much mystery concerning their age and purpose - and as you say, how on Earth were they shifting those vast blocks? Even more intriguing is that the greatest of the pyramid construction dates from the earliest period and the Sphinx may even predate this. The later dynasties tried to claim many of these wonders as their own creations, but it seems they had lost some of the art or the means to carry it out in earnest.
Of the various theories of the Pyramids, I think Velikovsky's is the most compelling. And it ties in exactly with what you describe at Gobekli Tepe, these people knew of catastrophes on a whole different scale to anything we do.
There is a pretty cool Greg Jay video that covers it in depth:

You might enjoy this Michael. I first hear it at a Tridentine mass in St. Louis

THE PYRAMIDS according to Velikovsky

Huh
The unseen and unknown isn’t felt any longer I’d say amongst most.
Means little questioning as everything is so well explained even if it isn’t true and Human
Hubris thrives with blinders on is the norm.
Serious social problem we have .
Glad you still wonder
