To end this tour, let us go
back and look more closely replica rolex explorer 1 at the most mysterious part of the Great Pyramid,
the empty coffer in the King's Chamber. This beautiful granite shaped
box made was made from a replica rolex explorer ii solid block of chocolate-colored granite and is even
harder than the granite walls of the King's Chamber. For thousands
of years, many have wondered about its purpose. Ancient legend says that
it came from Atlantis or even from America. It was never inscribed or
decorated. Also, since it is replica louis vuitton men sunglasses too large to pass through the low passages
leading into the King Chambers, it must have been placed in the chamber before
the chamber was closed and passages sealed. The volume of the Coffer is
equal to that of the Ark of the Covenant. It is replica rolex watches 89.8 inches long, 38.7
inches wide and 41.2 inches high. The sides are close to 6 inches thick
and the bottom 7 inches thick.
*I ask'd of TIME:
"To whom arose this high
Majestic pile, here mouldering in decay?"
He answer'd not, but swifter sped his way,
With ceaseless pinions winnowing the sky.
To FAME I turn'd
"Speak thou, whose sons defy
The waste of years, and deathless works essay!"
She heaved a sigh, as one to grief a prey,
And silent, downward cast her tearful eye.
Onward I pass'd, but sad and
thoughtful grown,
When, stern in aspect, o'er the ruin'd shrine
I saw OBLIVION stalk from stone to stone.
"Dread
Power!" I cried, "Tell me whose vast design-"
He checked my further speech, in sullen tone;
"Whose once it was, I care not; now 'tis mine!"
* The
poet Petrocchi, realizing the antiquity of the Great Pyramid penned the
following lines regarding it (translation from the Italian by Charles Strong)

Thank you so much for
this virtual tour!! I am fascinated by the pyramids and this lets me see
online what I'm sure I will never see in person! You are delivering a
priceless gift to people!! Thank you! Mary A., Toms River, NJ
Its an amazing tour of the
pyramid, the mysteries involved with the Egyptians has always created a deep
impact on me, since my early school days, their history ,culture and the tut
a khamen, its really a wonder, no wonder history regards Egyptians as one of
the most advanced and mysterious of all times. The
kings Coffer some how makes me feel that it could have been used for
a different purpose, with what I could see from the photo's. The tour is
simply superb, what astonishes is the marvel and grandeur and the
architecture and also the symbols used and whatsoever, the myth stands apart
of he great pyramids. Its so scientifically engraved , symbolizing the time
factor thru the rays of the Sun God-RA, the exact measurement of the shadow
of the pyramids falling, the precaution taken against a sandstorm, defying
all heat, battles, earths natural disasters, I am convinced the pyramids
were built with keeping the time calculated at that time signifying the
measurement and movements of the Sun, moon and planetary movements,
also as shelter against disasters and most important serving the tomb of
perhaps one of the greatest civilizations of the world- Egyptians. Hats
off for this wonderful gift of seeing the great Egyptian marvel at least
thru this.

This picture tour is more
comprehensive than any I've ever seen regarding the great pyramid. I have been
to Giza and stood in awe of these magnificent structures. I join those who
believe they are much older than commonly thought. I hope in my lifetime the
secrets of Giza will be discovered and revealed. I think of Edgar Cayce's
statement that the stones used in the construction were floated upon the air
much as iron floats upon water. Anti-gravity. Laws of physics that were known
to the ancients, then lost, and not as yet re-discovered by present-day man.
The mathematics and mechanics of the pyramids defy understanding by anyone now
living. Kudos to you for making these photos and information available to all.
(Robert - Illinois)
Many thanks for giving us
this insight into the depths of the Great Pyramid. Just having returned from five weeks in Egypt, we were especially gratified
to be able to view what we had only seen from the outside. Even the magnificent Cairo museum didn't offer this kind of a pictorial tour.
(Rudy & Sarah Boulder, CO)
I would just like to say how much I enjoyed the picture tour.
Listening to the Sightings radio archive program at the same time was fascinating.
It brings a totally new aspect to accumulating information. It is far better than just Radio or the Web on it's own.
Many thanks for producing such a site. It's like bringing a visit to a Museum directly into my house.
If people of an ancient time can build such a wonder, then we are Prehistoric in comparison, and have lost
so much. It really makes me wonder as to it's real purpose. A fascinating Tour
(Steve Ostler - England)
This is just a note to congratulate you on your presentation, the tour
of the great pyramid... I had never developed interest in the pyramids... But your tour takes us to and into this incredible
structure in such a way as to actually experience it, and to be profoundly moved by it. I've seen many television documentaries about
the pyramids but none of these accomplished what you have with a few words and photographs.
I now have a sense of the Grandeur and Power of these majestic structures, and know why you seek to understand
them. (Richard OBrien, Beverly Hills, California)
I have just completed viewing the Great Pyramid Picture Tour posted on
rense.com. I just wanted to thank you for excellent overview of the pyramid's
structure. As an amateur, I have been reading and researching about the pyramids for over 45 years and your presentation provided the clearest
understanding of the components of the Great Pyramid, and their relationship to each other, I have ever seen. For the first time, I felt like I was actually
there. Bravo, and thanks for the tour! (E.S. Max Aronov
- Honolulu, Hawaii)
Thank you for the tour. No matter how many times I see the Great Pyramid I am amazed, and you have shown them better
than I had seen before and in such clear detail. (Bill in Philadelphia)
I have never visited the Great Pyramid; nor have I been to the Far East. Yet today --
just moments ago, I have traveled far and deep, and at this juncture, am breathless.
For the Great Pyramid which has confounded the very thought of man for as long as
they have been in existence, has been shared in a way that only a lover of its greatness
could present. And for that I thank you. The idea of building such an incredible structure, covering so much space, with the structural diversity and strength exhibited by the manner in which this
magnificent masonry was somehow put together to last throughout the ages and beyond. Just prior to seeing this photo journal, I had a discussion about taking a long overdue and well-deserved vacation which I have yet to schedule. However, from your comprehensive presentation it seems that I have taken the grandest tour of all with the most breathtaking
experience I have ever had; almost as if I climbed and walked along each descending or ascending passage. Again, thank you.
(Sarah in Washington, D.C.)
This is what the Internet should be used for! For me this was an
opportunity to visit and explore one of the wonders of the ancient world, all from my home in London
(U.K). The photographs and simple explanations were great, the visual imagery adding to my wonder. Looking at diagrams
one envisages a clean and simple construction of the pyramids but the reality of the stone work visible in the
photographs showed a different view. I feel that there must be something more to the pyramids than a simple burial monument, and your 'tour' has simply
made me want to see more! Well done! (Peter in London,
UK)
Thank you for the excellent web site! It simply and clearly captures the
true mystery of the pyramids while avoiding unnecessary Egyptologian rubbish.
The tour is essential viewing for everyone. Is there any other structure as mysterious, deliberate and great on the planet? Your tour also, I
believe, gives the correct atmosphere of invitation to wonder and puzzle.
Mathematicians of old missed what could have been quantum short cuts to major formulae if they had been more aware of the pyramid. Lets not lose
any more time. Let us invest it in this great puzzle. Why else is it there? Thank you for a simple, well presented web sight that encourages
this immeasurably worthwhile pursuit. (John in Tortola, British Virgin Islands)
I thank you very much for making your site available to the public. I agree
that this indeed is what the internet was created for. The utter scale of the Giza pyramid intermingled with the reality of erosion, destruction of
portions by those who are greedy, or those who desire to explore with what we now consider primitive methods... Your site brings Giza into our homes
and makes it real for many who won't have any other way to experience the majesty and the 21st century reality. Thank you very much.
Have you thought of a similar site for the sphinx? (Kelly in Rhode
Island)
I listened to an archived presentation of the Jeff Rense Show and followed along on your web site. I found it
extremely fascinating. This is information that I have never seen before. I am not a student of the Great
Pyramids but after seeing this presentation I am convinced that the pyramid was not a burial vault for a
king and was built with technology that we still know nothing about. I also believe that modern technology
could not duplicate the precision in building such a gigantic wonder. I want to learn more about how it was
built and do more reading on the subject. Thank you very much.
(Richard in Saint Charles, MO)
I just viewed your
pictorial tour of the Great Pyramid. I have always wanted to go to Giza just to answer the questions in my head about the pyramid.
But, although I would still like to go, you have provided the most complete look at the structure I have ever seen. I have always wondered what the
entrance looked like and how the ventilation shafts would be visible. It was amazing to see the stepped ceiling of the kings chamber and the small
well shaft opening after all these years of knowing about them from Art History courses. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
(Sarah in Milwaukee)
What a tour!! I found out about the site on the archives of Jeff Rense. It's a mystery that really peaks
one's curiosity. I can't wait to find out more about the topic. The pictures and explanations were just
superb!! Thanks (Bob in Little Rock, Arkansas)
I have never seen such a perspective of the Great Pyramid. It amazes me that
this collection of photos has given me greater insight into the majesty of that sight than any other media has been able to provide. Bravo! Job well
done and thank you for the experience. (Dennis in Lubbock, Texas)
Truly the best website about "Old Geezer" on the Internet that I've
seen to date. Petrocchi's poem at the end of the pictorial tour is a knockout, a fitting epitaph to a monument shrouded in divine mysteries.
The Maya pyramids pale by comparison, are at best a weak echo. Next stop for me is Giza!
(Guinevere in Houston, Texas)
A virtual cyber-jewel!!! Without a doubt this is the single most wonderful and informative internet site of
what is unquestionably the single most interesting site on Earth; The Giza Plateau.
I appreciate the mathematics hidden within the Great Pyramid, from its Pi porportion, its Phi
relationships....and even my personal favorite the Euler number 'e'...how did they know that one?!! But as
marvelous as the number relationships are...appearently the math was only the designers business card
so to speak. I find myself torn between what is logical (P1 has alot of logic) and all the 'new age' claims
of 'pyramid power'. To my mind it is all only a search for answers. There is no question that the
designers were aware of what we now call 'resonate frequencies' and the presence of so much quartz in
the P1 granite only deepens the mystery. Dr. DeSalvo you have done a fantastic job of communicating your research to those who hunger for
answers. The service you have provided us (not the least of which is your comprehensive
links to archived radio programs on the subject) is more than interesting...it is important. We are in your debt. I think that
we as a people are becoming ever more aware that there is something very, very unique about the Great
Pyramid (in particular). It is difficult to sort out what information is useful and what is not in regards to
this enigma and I find your site to be well balanced in its presentation of information.
A tomb....ha! I don't think so. :)
(Rick in Tacoma Washington)
Gentleman,
I just took your picture tour after hearing about this pyramid on a Christian
channel that I listen to in Corpus Christi, Texas. I now want to go and see it
for myself. It is truly on of the 7 wonders of the world. I really enjoyed the
pictures and the explanations under each picture. I will visit your site again
and I have marked it has one of my favorites. Thanks again,
Daniel (Corpus Christi, Texas)
I thoroughly enjoyed the
tour. I was in the Great Pyramid in 1997 and it was wonderful recalling
what I had seen and especially what I had not seen. We spent time in the
Kings Chamber but I didn't go into the Queens Chamber. Most of the
younger people in the group went into the Queens Chamber and any where else
they were allowed. Thank you for the very informative tour. I liked the
history given at the beginning and the scenes of the subterranean chamber.
I will recommend this to my friends who have not been there.
(Hilda, Coral Gables, FL)
