 Ancient building techniques are an excellent subject to explore if one wishes to understand just how advanced our hidden ancestors were. Additionally, it allows one to get a true insight into the contradictions currently upheld by academic institutes the world over. There still exists an extraordinarily diverse array of building techniques. Some, interestingly, appear to overlap even older advanced methods. For example, a stone boring technology, seemingly used upon many ancient monuments, in many cases it appears to have been deliberately used to slightly damage these ancient stones, leaving them etched with uncanny marks, possibly in an attempt to also leave their mark to prove their past existence, later to be realized by us, now laying within their very distant future. We feel that these marks, along with many other aspects of these ancient sites, indicates that many ancient civilizations have been and gone here upon our Earth. Ancient metal clamps used to seat enormous stones, precision machine-cut blocks, some left within quarries, clearly indicating machine manipulation, impossible block building, effortlessly fitting random-sized blocks perfectly together. Yet the most enigmatic of these ancient building features, which many suspect, was indeed somehow connected to the construction of said sites, has to be the protuberances. Rarely mentioned within history books, yet these protuberances are present on many of the most ancient of block structures, which can be found all over the world. No one seems to know what these protuberance were placed upon these structures for. The biggest of these, undoubtedly carved into the still, in situ, regoliths at Yangshan Quarry, a feature we have previously noted and pondered over. Not only do these enigmatic notches suggest a past, world-going, highly advanced civilization having once prospered here upon our planet, but a feature known as the Boss Mark, found deep within the Great Pyramid of Khufu, may link, for the first time, the builders of the Great Pyramids to ancient structures found elsewhere on Earth. Furthermore, the methods used by the pyramid builders are, interestingly, the same methods used by builders of the other sites containing protuberances. This strategic building method, meaning that their ruins have outlived, we feel, many other ancient civilizations now lost to history. Their capability to move such mind-bogglingly huge stone blocks, and their ability to create such erosion-resistant structures, indicate to us that the builders of these sites may have lived an unimaginably long time ago, and probably chose to create such Earth-shifting structures in a bid to indeed survive the eons. Were they doing so in an attempt to leave their legacy on our planet? Or maybe they were, and are, still trying to tell us something. Only time will tell. There are many mysteries to be found within ancient Egypt. Unexplained, seemingly impossible mysteries, which litter the caverns, tunnels, flooded underground layers, and indeed the once inaccessible passageways only recently explored using advanced modern technology. However, some of the most perplexing mysteries lay in plain sight. Not only the great pyramids themselves, an obvious enigma for academia to explain the construction of, but many anomalous features which can be found within objects often leaving academics baffled as to an explanation. The Chiops sarcophagus being one such anomaly. Although these pyramids are entered and explored by millions of people every year, and indeed this mysterious sarcophagus shown to many of these inquisitive explorers, what many of the funded academic tour guide often leaves absent from their explanation of this supposed tomb is how exactly it arrived at its current location. As we have explored and exposed previously, the casing stones that can be found on many of the pyramids are to us not only indicative of another phase of construction work, once having been undertaken upon these structures, but due to the erosion present and the different styles featured, are in fact indicative of more than one attempt to conserve these marvelous structures for future generations. Thus, one must conclude by more than one now extinct advanced civilization. As such, the age of the sarcophagus of Chiops could be immense, so it is not surprising that it has encountered not only grave robbers, but has been vandalized also at points within the distant past. Furthermore, and perhaps most intriguing and frustrating, is that the sarcophagus lid is missing, a lid that could have explained the past contents of this mysterious box, or like the Tomb of Pakal, exposed extremely controversial illustrations of possible past technologies. Unfortunately, however, or rather most conveniently for academics, this lid has never been discovered. Yet what is most perplexing regarding this diorite box, notably one of the hardest workable stones on earth, is that no one seems to know how the original builders managed to transport the box to its current location deep within the bowels of Chiops. The diameter of this supposed tomb being too large to have traveled down any of the known tunnels, which have so far been discovered within the ancient pyramid. This leaves us with two likely possibilities. One, that the diorite box was placed there, and the pyramid built around it, which is a mysterious and confusing hypothesis, mostly due to the lack of markings of significance found upon the sarcophagus, or indeed the lack of any dedicated markings found anywhere else surrounding it. It is as though the box was placed there without much effort to indicate any importance to its existence. Yet, to cut such a box, which has since been discovered to have been cast from one single block of diorite, would have taken tremendous effort, a feat that modern man would only accomplish with the use of diamond-edged power tools, not to mention the effort that would have been involved in moving this multi-ton stone into its found location. The second hypothesis regarding how this sarcophagus found its way into its current location is that the box itself was transported to its found location through tunnels and passageways we are yet to discover, possibly hinting at the fact that within this great pyramid there are indeed many more hidden layers and cavities we are yet to explore or discover. Maybe the placement of this seemingly inanimate box was placed there to suggest exactly this. Furthermore, what was on the lid of this supposed sarcophagus? Why is it known as the sarcophagus of Kufu, when Kufu was not discovered within it? In fact, nothing was discovered within it. And why is the lid mysteriously absent? Where did the lid to the sarcophagus go? Why, if destroyed by grave robbers, was it not left where it lay? Did this lid contain controversial information, possibly pertaining to the original contents or indeed purpose of the great pyramids? We find the diorite sarcophagus of Kufu and indeed its unexplainable journey into the center of the pyramid, highly compelling. During the past few years we have covered many aspects of Mankuri, Kafra, and Kufu, the three great pyramids of Giza. We have explored numerous amazing facts regarding these structures which have remained secret for many years. As the interest has grown regarding these three amazing structures, more people with suspicions, hypothesis, and technical and intellectual talents are fortunately beginning to approach these mysterious and wonderful structures in more explorative ways. We are experiencing the beginning of an ancient Egyptian renaissance thanks to the gift of modern technology. At the beginning of this year, an international team of researchers began investigating the buildings from afar, gazing at them with unusual cameras. Using state-of-the-art infrared heat detection technology, they have discovered some surprising anomalies regarding the heat signatures visible on their faces. What these thermal anomalies reveal are undiscovered shafts, more than likely leading to additional and undiscovered secret tombs deep within these amazing pyramids. The thermal scanning that they have successfully completed has revealed that there are many of these temperature fluctuations in many areas undocumented as containing anomalies. Thus, what the team has done is pinpoint unexplored shafts dotted across the pyramids. The team also found a particularly impressive anomalous signature located on the eastern side of the Khufu pyramid, very close to ground level. From the beginning, the team had always maintained that they would publicly disclose their findings. All of the staggering finds were made public by Antiquities Minister Mamdoul El-Damati. During a press briefing, quote, there is something like a small passage in the ground that you can see leading up to the pyramid's ground, reaching an area with a different temperature. What will be behind it? said El-Damati. The scanning was done throughout a 24-hour period, allowing the researchers to monitor subtle temperature changes as the pyramids heated up and then cooled down during the day and night. Though the huge granite and limestone blocks which make up most of the pyramid, this technology was capable of recognizing the slight differentials in their temperature. By monitoring the speed of this heating and cooling, thanks to these miraculous cameras, the researchers were able to isolate several persistent anomalies. Thus, they may have just unlocked more of the pyramid's secrets in one day, using state-of-the-art technology than Egyptian antiquities or archaeologists worldwide have in more than 100 years. While the difference in temperature between most adjacent limestone blocks was between 0.1 to 0.5 degrees Celsius, the largest of heat anomalies discovered on and within the Great Pyramid was an impressive 6 degrees warmer than the surrounding bricks. So far, there are plenty of theories being put forward as to what these heat anomalies might indicate. Not surprisingly, with the leading assumptions being that of just empty areas, a hypothesis I'm sure some would like to make a reality. The good news is that the study, which is called Operation Scan Pyramids, will continue. Next, the researchers intend to use cosmic particles called radiographic muons to create a 3D reconstruction of the Pyramids of Giza in an attempt to map all the secret chambers and passageways within the Pyramids. We will keep you posted on their future finds. No other ruins anywhere on our planet is surrounded with more controversy than that of the Great Pyramids of Egypt, or indeed its accompanying plateau. There are many factors to consider when it comes to Egyptology. In academic fields, there are many no-go areas of study. Although hard work and research within permitted areas has taught us a great deal about the previous 4,000 years of the site's inhabitants, yet regardless of the most astute academic thesis, there remains three proverbially large elephants in the room. When it comes to a full or even a mere fraction of an explanation in regards to the origin of these seemingly impossibly huge Pyramids remains patiently absent. No accounts, illustrations of any kind from the era exists. It is simply illogical, especially when one considers the sheer feet these structures must have been. We have presented many previous features, polygonal masonry being present on the Pyramids. They eroded yet younger casing stones protecting inner megaliths, clearly of a tremendous age. Salt sediment found encrusting the lower chambers, and so on, suggesting not only that the Pyramids are much older than currently claimed, but were pre-flood ruins. Thus, questions arise. Just how old are the Great Pyramids? In addition to our study of the Pyramids, we have also, in the past, asserted that the Sphinx was originally a lion, which interestingly correlates to the following hypothesis with fascinating accuracy. The Orion Theory The coincidence with Pyramids aligned with Orion's belt and other significant constellational positions, Baval and Hancock support the theory believing the Great Sphinx was begun in 10,500 BC, creating reference to the constellation of Leo and the orientation of the entire complex with the Nile River and even Milky Way, claimed by them as connected respectively. Zeptepe, using similar methodology, put the age at over 13,000 years. These are clearly astonishing proposals, but the current paradigm for their chronology, we feel, is far too short a time span, and due to our own research, which has uncovered evidence indicative of pre-flood origins, copper tools for such an accomplishment a mere insult to intelligence. Yet thankfully, due to these various takes on events, their age remains highly contested, and to us, a mystery, which is incredibly compelling. One of the most enigmatic, mysterious, and least understood ancient structures to be found anywhere on Earth. Although many academic institutions and funded individuals throughout the years have maintained that these structures were tomb sites built for ancient Egypt's greatest leaders, the severe lack of evidence supporting such claims, along with the lack of any hieroglyphic recording of the enormous undertaking that these structures would have been, contradicts this explanation. Particularly Cheops, the largest of the three Great Pyramids, and the only one constructed to in fact have eight sides. The only one with tunnels, the only one with shafts, most notably the shaft which led to Gatton Brink's door, long thought to have been air shaft, due to its steep incline and minuscule scale. And although it is the only one to possess such features, they were installed perfectly. These tiny shafts were not only perfectly aligned throughout the structure's internal stonework, built with unimaginable skill and accuracy. But these were somehow hermetically sealed during the Pyramids' original construction. This would have been required to avoid them becoming blocked with dust, with the exterior shape of the Pyramids, built with such astounding precision. The subtle indent creating the eight sides is so slight, it is only visibly detectable under certain light angles, often requiring modern technology to actually measure the perfection these ancient feats were. As mentioned, Gatton Brink's door, leading from the King's chamber, was for many years assumed to be an air tunnel. However, after attempting to inspect the shaft with an intention to consider utilizing the structure's own design to aid in fresh air circulation, it was realized that this shaft led instead to a blocking door, the doorway to an undiscovered chamber within the bowels of this most mysterious of ancient remnants. However, after several years of apparent reluctance to explore this hidden chamber, along with the mammoth challenge Gatton Brink encountered attempting to develop a robot capable of reaching the blocking door, capable of traversing the obstacles within the shaft to eventually penetrate this inner sanctum. As the discovery came to its ultimate culmination of actually seeing what was hidden behind this door, within this hidden chamber, a shaft deliberately designed to be near impossible to discover without modern technology, thus clearly a room of great importance. The media was blocked, a blackout descended upon the Giza Plateau, and the investigations remained guarded for a considerable amount of time. When it was eventually opened up to the world, the supposed tomb found in situ within the chamber was conveniently empty, without any distinguishing evidence to suggest the chamber's past function. Many people would be forgiven to suspect a conspiracy ensued, one in an attempt to conceal whatever was found in the supposed tomb of Osiris. What are the Egyptian authorities and even other influential countries' governments concealing regarding this mysterious chamber? Thankfully, it seems that this was not the last chamber to ever be realized. Two more chambers have now been discovered to still be buried, hidden, within this great pyramid. One which is located above the Grand Gallery is said to be of a significant size. The question is, what could be hidden in these two remaining rooms? Will advancements in penetrative radar allow its true contents to be revealed to the world before the Egyptian government have the chance to hide its contents? These are astonishing ancient structures, undoubtedly one of the most incredible wonders on earth. As such, they are highly compelling.
