But there is a growing body of evidence which suggests that an ancient civilisation, or civilisations, about which we know very little, pre-dated the Egyptians and Sumerians by many thousands of years. These were people who studied the heavens with precise instruments; they could apparently track the stars over millennia and replicate stellar constellations on the ground with machine-age accuracy. They could build colossal monuments using construction methods we cannot yet comprehend. In very different parts of the world, evidence exists of a common legacy - shared by cultures separated by hundreds, sometimes thousands of years. From Mexico to Iceland, from Britain to China, we are finding a common astronomical wisdom handed down from a time before history, a time perhaps before the ‘Great Flood’. A common wisdom from a lost civilisation which might hold the key to our own identity on earth! HEAVEN’S MIRROR is a personal quest for the answer - the culmination of eight years of painstaking research by writer Graham Hancock and photographer Santha Faiia. Hancock, the author of best selling Fingerprints of the Gods and The Keeper of Genesis (The Message of the Sphinx in the US) will present the series and write the accompanying book. Accompanied by Faiia, whose photographs have helped unravel the sky-ground symbolism found in so many of the world’s ancient monuments, and driven by a conviction that he is now on the verge of a major new discovery, Hancock presents a passionate and controversial argument about the origins of mankind’s knowledge. Hancock is convinced there are irrefutable and uncanny links between the ancient myths and monuments scattered around the globe. They came from a time when science and religion were one. Now - thousands of years later - perhaps they can HEAVEN’S MIRROR/INDEPENDENT IMAGE Macintosh HD:Users:stefold2:Library:Containers:com.apple.mail:Data:Library:Mail Downloads:HEAVEN12-3.doc 3 offer us clues, even a solution, to who we are and why we’re here. Hancock’s ideas radically challenge orthodoxy, but they are not without support from eminent academics. With his journalistic eye for truth and enthusiastic approach, Hancock is joined by a colourful collection of scholars and experts in the disciplines of Astronomy, Egyptology, Engineering and related sciences. Eminent consultants and contributors include the distinguished Egyptologists, Dr Bob Bianchi and Jane Sellers; Dr Edwin Krupp, of the Griffith Observatory, Los Angeles, and Britain’s Dr Clive Ruggles, the world’s leading Archaeo-astronomers; Dr Phyllis Pitluga, of the Adler Planetarium, Chicago, and Undine Concannon, Director of the London Planetarium; Dr Jaromir Malek, Keeper of Archives at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford University; Dr Robert Schoch, Geologist, MIT; Professor Hertha von Dechend, University of Frankfurt; Professor Keith Critchlow, Director of Prince of Wales Institute of Architecture. Virtual reality computer graphics assist our understanding of the more complicated theories as we traverse five continents, visiting some of the world’s most beautiful and mysterious sites. Specially composed music will transport us through the ages as we follow his quest - both historical and spiritual - for the origins of civilisation and the very meaning of life. The series will be directed by Tim Copestake, a first class graduate of the London International Film School, who has spent twenty five years making award winning documentaries for all the terrestrial channels in Britain, shown throughout the world. His critically acclaimed Pharaohs and Kings (3 x 60’ for Channel Four / Discovery) has set the benchmark for prestige archaeology series around the globe. The producer will be David Wickham, another award winning filmmaker with the top prize at the Royal Television Society and the Prix de Bale, and Silver Medals from New York and Monte Carlo among his credits.

As we discover more, we are finding that those cultures, separated by aeons and oceans, and with no apparent contact, are linked by too many similarities to be coincidence. Could they have shared a common inheritance of an earlier civilisation? We start this programme by comparing the fantastic animal drawings and geometric designs etched into a vast area of the Peruvian desert at Nazca with the mysterious Pyramids at Giza. Although separated by thousands of miles and created in different epochs, they both appear to be terrestrial maps of part of the night sky - specifically the constellation of Orion. They were, quite literally, trying to create heaven on earth. Why? As we tour the world’s most celebrated monuments the similarities abound. First we find the consistent use of giant stones, some too heavy for our largest cranes to move! And the alignment of these stones hides an advanced knowledge of astronomy which we can only decode with the modern computer. The new science of archaeo-astronomy can shed light on what these cultures were doing and the evidence suggests that an earlier culture, of whom we know nothing, has left its fingerprints in every corner of the ancient world, from Egypt to Europe to China and the Americas. Interviewees: Robert Bauval, (Archaeo-astronomer, author of ‘Orion Mystery’) Dr Phillis Pitluga, (Astronomer, Adler Planetarium, Chicago) Dr Edwin Krupp (Archaeo-astronomer, Griffiths Observatory, LA) Dr Clive Ruggles (Britain’s foremost archaeo-astronomer) Dr Thor Heyerdahl (Explorer, anthropologist, Kontiki expedition) Principle Sites: Nazca, Ollantaytambo - Peru Giza , Abu Simbel - Egypt Callanish, Outer Hebrides Baalbeck - Lebanon Teotihuacan - Mexico Okinawa - Japan Shensi - China HEAVEN’S MIRROR/INDEPENDENT IMAGE Macintosh HD:Users:stefold2:Library:Containers:com.apple.mail:Data:Library:Mail Downloads:HEAVEN12-3.doc 5 Programme 2: ZEP TEPI: THE FIRST TIME If there was a lost civilisation, when could it have existed and what were their beliefs? In this programme we find a mountain of scientific evidence pointing to a highly complex, technologically advanced civilisation in the 11th millennium BC - a civilisation not mentioned in our history books and pre-dating the ancient Egyptians by an astonishing 7000 years! Geologists re-date the Great Sphinx to at least 10,000 years ago. And computerised star maps reveal that the whole of the Giza Plateau is a map of the heavens as it looked in 10,500 BC - the ancient Egyptians called it Zep Tepi: The First Time - a mysterious golden age when the gods came to earth and humanity was offered the gifts of civilisation. And this is not the only map of the skies in 10,500 BC. The ancient Hindu temple site of Angkor in Cambodia mirrors another important section of the sky - those stars which revolve endlessly around the pole. The mysterious Tiahuanaco, in Bolivia, also shows astronomic alignments that place it firmly in the 11th millennium BC, making it the oldest city on earth. In order to build a coherent picture of these people we need to examine the myths and beliefs that they passed on. What we find as we journey from Europe to Mexico, to Peru and to Egypt is an obsessive drive to predict accurately the intricate cycle of the heavens. ‘As above, so below’ was the universal dictum - everything on earth was believed to be a reflection of the heavenly realm. ‘Heaven’s Mirror’ is more than the sky-ground symbolism that we see at so many of these ancient sites. It became the basis for a complete belief system that started religion. And we may be on the verge of finding out a lot more about these people. Three years ago, a hi-tech miniature robot used to explore the shafts of the Great Pyramid, found a portcullis door with copper handles. Permission has just been granted by the Egyptian government for another robotic exploration to feed a fibre optic cable beneath the door. There is a great deal of tension and excitement on the Giza Plateau at the moment, both with what may lie behind the door and the increasing likelihood that there are secret passages under the Sphinx, and possibly extending underneath the whole plateau.

    Orion mystery pdf Continue Robert Bauval is an author, lecturer and researcher of Ancient Egypt, best known for his theory of Orion's correlation. Bauval was born in Alexandria, Egipi. He attended Franciscan College in Buckinghamshire, England. He spent most of his engineering career living and working in the Middle East and Africa as a civil engineer. At the end of 1992, Bauval contacted Adrian Gilbert; they went on to write The Mystery of Orion together, which became an international bestseller. He also co-authored three books with Graham Hancock, Breaking The Mirror Of Heaven: Conspiracy to Suppress the Voice of Ancient Egypt with Ahmed Osman and two books with Thomas Brophy, including The African Imhotep: The Architect of Cosmos. Robert Bauval is the famous author of The Secrets of Orion and co-author (with Graham Hancock) of The Mystery of the Sphinx, The Mystery of Mars and the Guardian of Genesis. His contribution to Egyptology and Archaeology was widely recognized. Adrian Gilbert is a best-selling author and co-author of The Orion Mystery, The Mayan Prophecies, Magi: The zuest for a Secret Tradition and The Holy Kingdom. The fringe hypothesis in the alternative Egyptological representation of the central principle of Orion's correlation theory: the outlines of the pyramids of Giza superimposed on the photograph of stars in the Orion belt. The veracity of this match was questioned by Hancock's critics. The Orion Correlation Theory (or the theory of the Ghiza-Orion correlation) is a fringe theory in alternative Egyptology. He argues that there is a correlation between the location of the three largest pyramids of the Giza pyramid complex and the Orion belt of the constellation Orion, and that this correlation was conceived as such by the original builders of the pyramid complex giza.

Abstract This is a companion paper to and reliant on “Diskerfery and the Alignment of the Four Main Giza Pyramids” (Douglas, 2019 [1]). Following the geometric alignments shown in that paper, we now present the astronomical design plan with 23 stars. There is a perfect alignment with two stars, very close alignment with others, and close alignment with other prominent stars in the area. We propose that this was done to provide a date for the construction of Giza. The alignment occurs at circa 55,500BCE. Keywords: Giza, pyramids, alignment, archaeoastronomy. Contents 1.

Archaeology is the scientific study of human history and prehistory through material culture. Pseudoarchaeology misuses science, logic, and the archaeological record to create a misrepresentation or misinterpretation of the past. While some of these claims can capture the imagination or be entertaining, they can also perpetuate conspiracy theories, racist or nationalist beliefs, and misunderstandings of ancient cultures. In this class we will explore a variety of pseudoarchaeological case studies, including Atlantis and ancient aliens theories, in order to critically evaluate them. We’ll consider why some people are attracted to these theories, how they originated, and the “evidence” used to support them. In the process, we’ll also learn what proper archaeological research looks like. Students will learn valuable critical thinking and information literacy skills, while also learning how archaeologists think and what constitutes good archaeological research. 1 ANTHROPOLOGY 255 WINTER 2021 Required Textbook WHAT I WANT YOU TO GET OUT OF Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries.

Many, perhaps most, domains of knowledge are the focus of one explicit and defined discipline or sci- ence, whereas others (possibly fewer) are pursued by two or more. Certainly, the study of civilizations falls within the second type; i.e., it is surely multi-disciplinary. Many but not all of its representatives are in academia.

  • A Study on Pyramid Sciences in Egypt
    International Journal of Latest Trends in Engineering and Technology Vol.(7)Issue(3), pp. 113-119 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.21172/1.73.515 e-ISSN:2278-621X A STUDY ON PYRAMID SCIENCES IN EGYPT Y Sudheer Kumar Chowdary1 and K Ganesh2 I. INTRODUCTION Most of the people who have a basic education have come across the Pyramids of Egypt at least once. Most of the people think of it as the “Tomb of a great Pharaoh” or a religious place. This is a huge misconception and is the biggest barrier between people and their attempt to get to understand the pyramids more deeply. The first stepped pyramid in Egypt in Saqqara was completed in 2620 B.C. for the Third Dynasty Egyptian pharaoh Djoser. It had six levels and an underground burial chamber. Pyramid designers learned that if pyramids were going to be higher and have steeper slopes, their bases needed to be wider. At Dahshur, further upstream along the Nile from Saqqara, laborers started the construction of a pyramid for the Fourth Dynasty pharaoh Sneferu. Unfortunately, the designers chose a poor foundation, and the pyramid began to lean inward upon itself when it was about two-thirds complete. The builders reduced the angle of the upper portion to complete it and make it more stable, and it is now known as the Bent Pyramid (2565 B.C.). Unsatisfied with the Bent Pyramid, Sneferu ordered another pyramid at Dahshur. The designers chose a better foundation and made this pyramid the same height as the Bent Pyramid, but with a wider base and a shallower angle.

  • Magical Egypt -- Travel Tips and Further Reading
    MAGICAL EGYPT -- TRAVEL TIPS AND FURTHER READING WEATHER The winter weather can be colder than you think in the North (around Cairo/Alexandria). Temperatures can get down into the 40's at night from mid-December to the end of February. Perfect travel weather but too cold to swim. There is often a high wind early in the morning in the desert. Have a jacket, and a light sweater or two that will keep you warm at a chill, windy 40°. Layers are better than one heavy item, since it warms up very rapidly once the sun gets high, and midday temperatures may be in the 80°'s under a bright sun. The chance of a winter rain shower or two is slight but present in the north. Also bring gloves and a wool stocking hat or the like. Remember, once we’re out in the desert, we’re out and it could be a while before we have roof over ourheads and walls around us. October / November and April / May average around 60 by night, 85 by day in Cairo, warmer to the south. Perfect. Bring your bathing suit. The summer is hot everywhere, very hot in the south (110 and over in the afternoons) but bone dry and there are fewer tourists but still, more than you might expect. On summer trips we start early and get back by noon or thereabouts and lounge around the pool the rest of the day. It's unacceptable only to those who really hate the heat. For others it's not a major problem; certainly better than New York or DC in the 90°'s.

  • THE MARRIAGE of SCIENCE FICTION and EGYPTOLOGY Kevin Mclaren
    CONTRIBUTOR BIO KEVIN MCLAREN is pursuing his B.A. in History at Cal Poly. He holds two A.A. de- grees from Cuesta College in both History and International Studies. Kevin hopes to one day be a history professor or work in a museum. He also enjoys reading, writing, and making music. As a history student, Kevin has a particular interest in Ancient Egyptian history, which was the inspiration for the topic of his paper. THE MARRIAGE OF SCIENCE FICTION AND EGYPTOLOGY Kevin McLaren The unique mysteries of Ancient Egypt have been a subject of study by Westerners since the ancient Greeks and Romans.1 Since ancient times, re- searchers have been enthralled by the mysterious nature of Ancient Egypt and have devised theories addressing Ancient Egypt’s seemingly-impossible engineering feats, enigmatic pantheon of gods, and excellent craftsmanship. The study of Ancient Egyptian culture by Westerners became dormant after the fall of the Roman Empire, but was again resurrected in the early 19th century when Napoleon arrived in Egypt.2 Some scholars consider 1822 to be the official foundation date for the scholarly field known as “Egyptology,” which can be defined broadly as the “systematic exploration of Egypt.”3 Since 1822, Egyptology has undergone a series of major popular breakthroughs. The French occupation of Egypt and especially the translation of the Rosetta Stone resulted in a late 19th century boom of Egyptology. Later, in the 1920s, the dis- covery of Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s tomb started a second wave of Egyptological 1 Ian Shaw and Paul Nicholson, The Dictionary of Ancient Egypt(London: The British Museum Press, 1995), 91.

In fact, it is only in recent times that modern man has been able to map this coastline using sub-surface surveying techniques that can penetrate the ice sheet that lies on top of it. Ohlmeyer had no idea how a Fingerprints of the Gods existing in the 16th century could have got hold of such knowledge. It is an astronomical code that deals with the position of the stars over vast periods of time — a code that reveals the ancients knew far, far more than they are generally credited with. Traces of the same code appear in Egyptian myth, and it is to this desert land that Graham and Santha travel, finding there haunting parallels in architecture and ritual to the New World sites they have just left behind. Could the Piri Reis maps be evidence for a previously unknown complex maritime civilisation, capable of mapping the globe? A global culture, cataclysmically destroyed at the end of the ice age, remnants of which survived the devastation to pass on their knowledge to the shaken world? Were Fingerprints of the Gods figures of Osiris and Quetzalcoatl survivors of this lost race — passing down not only advanced geographical knowledge, but a secret astronomical code veiled in myth that pointed to the devastation in the Fingerprints of the Gods, and warned of that which is to come?
