On the
desert plateau of Saqqara 10 miles Southeast of the Great Pyramid, a special
set of five very similar pyramids has stood for some forty-two centuries.
They are filled with over four thousand columns of hieroglyphs, cut into
their solid rock walls.
But
why do these 'Pyramid Texts' suddenly appear -- and for the most part in
just the 5th Dynasty pyramid of King Un-is and the 6th Dynasty pyramids
of Teti, Pepi I, Mer-en-r'a and Pepi II?
I think
that what follows may provide an explanation, because Egyptologists simply
do not know. And who is this strange King Un-is anyway, whose very name
means that he is "Like one whose Spiritual Eye is opened?" All five
of these Kings believed that this "Eye of the Soul" was real and
accessible. In fact (unlike Egyptologists today), they apparently assumed
that this "Udjat Eye of Heru" was the foundation of their
whole Hieroglyphic language and as such, it provided an indispensable context
for understanding all Pyramid Texts.
It is
comparatively easy to show that the writings in all five pyramids are clearly
distributed in four matching instruction locations corresponding to the
Great Pyramid Entrance Passage, Queen's Chamber, Grand Gallery and King's
Chamber. The five Kings evidently wanted to have a kind of stenographic
record of the words which must have been said countless times in each Great
Pyramid location while facing in different directions.
Egyptologists
are fond of saying that the Great Pyramid is mute, with no Hieroglyphs
cut into its walls. But this is really not quite true. Every upper passage,
chamber, gallery and shaft inside the Great Pyramid of Giza is an incredibly
old,
unmistakable, megalithic Hieroglyph for the words seba and
rut
for "Ensouling Star door" and "Tunnel Opening gate." They
are unmistakably reproduced in the Pyramid Texts of Saqqara. Egyptologists
should have told the world about these architectural hieroglyphs long ago.
It might have removed much needless speculation about the Great Pyramid.
Egyptologists
are also fond of imagining that they have already translated the Pyramid
Texts, but this is not even remotely true. Already in the first third of
the twentieth century, the great German scholar Kurt Sethe was deciding
to dismiss the first 212 Utterances of the Pyramid Texts ostensibly because
they were supposed to be just "largely ritual formulae." These mostly
non-ritual texts covered more than the North walls of the Saqqara King's
Chambers -- with the "Eye of Heru" being written out 80 times, where
it had survived. In 1969, R. O. Faulkner published the last attempt to
translate the Pyramid Texts. But Egyptologists still believe that these
North wall writings of the Saqqara King's Chambers are just "offering
rituals."
They
are wrong on both counts. These texts are neither
"offerings" nor
largely
"rituals." The "offering" idea hangs precariously
on the supposed meaning of the imperative phrase Me-en-ek as "Take-to-yourself
(the Eye of Heru)," when it could just as well mean an archaic "See
for yourself (the Eye of Heru)" in which case there would be no offerings
in the mostly non-ritual writings on the wall. The few ritual writings
which are actually there are divided off to themselves by 390 separation
lines, unmistakably sculpted in the solid rock. But Egyptologists have
chosen to ignore them and have tarred all of these texts with the same
ritual brush.
On the
South walls of the Saqqara King's Chambers, Egyptologists think they see
"resurrection
ritual." But these texts are strictly non-ritual and do not contain
any ritual separation lines. The word sedjeb for
"restore (to
life)" is a causative verb se-djeb (a) for
"make clothed
(with a body)" which any Hindu Sanskrit scholar would recognize as
the verb "reincarnate."
We do
not have to guess about the significance of these texts. They are self-explanatory.
For example Utterance 302, out of a total of 700, begins (on the North
wall in the Queen's Chamber) with the expression
Djed medu for "Said
(in the Queen's Chamber facing North) were the words:" --- "whenever
the Sharp-pointed Star gleams (two palm-widths before the brow), it is
because the Two Sets of Nine Spinal gods have purified in the Ursa Major
Polestar, that Star which knows not sweeping. --- " But the Great Pyramid
speaker is describing the Northern sky as it looked 26,000 years ago!
Egyptologists
see only "protective spells" on the West wall of the Saqqara King's
Chamber. But the verb to protect is nowhere to be found. Worse still, there
are no actual spells. Some important details about seeing with the Eye
can only be found on this wall. But these details have been lost to the
world, because Egyptologists have not been able to conceive of the non-ritual
Eye of Heru. All that they know about now is the ritual Eye as a ceremonial
offering. The lost knowledge of the Star Opening of the Eye at two palm-widths
is still accessible to the entire world on this West wall.
Not knowing
about the non-ritual Eye of Heru has helped to blind Egyptologists to the
unexpected presence of Calculus and Nuclear Chemistry within it, which
we have only acquired in the last 333 years.
