waking up to facts

Ancient Egypt

In ancient Egypt mathematics was used for measuring time, straight lines, the level of the Nile floodings, calculating areas of land, counting money, working out taxes and cooking. Maths was even used in mythology - the Egyptians figured out the numbers of days in the year with their calendar.

The pyramids include massive blocks of granite and stone, machined to amazing tolerances, and too heavy to move without modern equipment.

"There are 2.5 million blocks of stone in the Great Pyramid that cover 13 acres in the footprint and stands 480 feet tall, with blocks of granite in the interior that are up to 70 tons. They are machined to tolerances that you can't slip a dollar bill into," Nightingale said.

"That tells me they (the builders) knew something we don't, because we sure can't do it. As a craftsperson, I had to figure out how they did that."

But the larger, greater mystery is why the pyramids and other structures are arranged the way they are. Is it haphazard? Surely not, since some of the elements, constructed in different dynasties, were in perfect alignment. There seems to have been some enduring plan.

Three pyramids dominate the Giza complex: the Great Pyramid, or Pyramid of Khufru, the Pyramid of Kahfre and the the Pyramid of Menkaure. The sides of all three pyramids are astronomically oriented to be north-south and east-west, within a small fraction of a degree. Quite a feat, considering the pyramids were built thousand of years ago.

One thing is certain, the Ancient Egyptians knew of sperm and that is not surprising. What is surprising is that the depiction given by the Ancients of sperm is a microscopic view.

The carving dedicated to the fertility god, Min, depicts a penis with a perfectly depicted microscopic sperm cell coming out.

At 40 x zoom, a modern microscope cannot examine sperm at a cellular level. You must zoom to at least at an 1000 x magnification to see just ONE sperm cell.

• Sperm cells were not discovered until 1677.

• According to the mainstream, The microscope was not invented until 1590.

The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol known all around the world. It symbolises healing, protection, rejuvenation, rebirth, resurrection and wholeness.

The symbol combined art, anatomy, science and mythology. It is sometimes called the all-seeing eye as a reference to the third eye

This part of the brain is linked to emotions and memories. It controls and coordinates everything from the movements of the fingers to the heart rate.

The Eye of Horus depicts the secret areas of the brain that hold the potential for each human to attain enlightenment.

We already mentioned that it is also called the all-seeing eye or the third eye which is represented by the pineal gland located at the centre of the brain.

It stays dormant until the soul reaches a certain spiritual level. Ancient Egyptians believed that it was primordial to nurture our limbic brain so that the third eye would lead us to spiritual awakening.
The symbol shows us what to change in our body to improve our spirit. Understanding how the limbic system works will help us heal or reshape our brain.

This system is composed of the:

• Hypothalamus controls emotions

• Hippocampus relates to memories and helps you understand the environment

• The amygdala helps coordinate response to things in your environment that trigger an emotional response

Damage to this system stems from trauma like enduring or witnessing abuse, neglect or violence which can result in depression, rage, PTSD and anxiety.

Ancient Egyptians concluded that relaxing the limbic system would heal and reshape our brain.

The first step towards change is to look inward and read everything about this system.

The Eye of Horus depicts the secret part of the brain connected with our emotions.

To reach inner peace and live a meaningful life, it is essential to understand the limbic system.

Human existence was understood by the Egyptians as only a small segment of an eternal journey presided over and orchestrated by supernatural forces in the forms of the many deities which comprised the Egyptian pantheon. According to the historian Bunson,
One's earthly life was not, however, simply a prologue to something greater but was a part of the entire journey. The Egyptian concept of an afterlife was a mirror-world of one's life on earth (specifically, one's life in Egypt) and one needed to live that life well if one hoped to enjoy the rest of one's eternal journey.
The ancient Egyptians were a polytheistic people who believed that gods and goddesses controlled the forces of the human, natural, and supernatural world.
The religion of Ancient Egypt lasted for more than 3,000 years
The most important deities were the sun god, who had several names and aspects and was associated with many supernatural beings in a solar cycle modeled on the alternation of night and day, and Osiris, the god of the dead and ruler of the underworld. With his consort, Isis, Osiris became dominant in many contexts during the 1st millennium BCE, when solar worship was in relative decline.
gods were neither all-powerful nor all-knowing. Their power was immeasurably greater than that of human beings, and they had the ability to live almost indefinitely, to survive fatal wounds, to be in more than one place at once, to affect people in visible and invisible ways, and so forth.
The significance of Egyptian mythology to other cultures was in its development of the concept of an eternal life after death, benevolent deities, and reincarnation. Both Pythagoras and Plato of Greece were said to have been influenced by Egyptian beliefs in reincarnation and Roman religious culture borrowed as extensively from Egypt as it did from other civilizations
