New Theory on Egyptian Pyramids

New Theory on Egyptian Pyramids

RE: New Theory on Egyptian Pyramids

Ever a sucker for anything with a title such as "the Secrets of the Pyramids Revealed", and i have a bookcase full of such titles to prove it, not just the more conservative Cotrell's books. (I also have ALfred Watkin's Book "The Old straight Track" about Ley Lines and the significance of Glastonbury Tor as some kind of node to prove my gullibility.)
So, what was I expecting? More about the arrangement of the pyramids on the earth as a mimic of the stars e.g. the alignment of some of the pyramids is said to precisely reproduce the three stars in Orion's Belt; or that alignment of the shafts with the moon a or sun etc.
That the pyramids used a wrap around ramp to raise the stones was no surprise, I seem to have heard this at school many many years before, but I hadn't appreciated that they might be internal ramps.

OK, so nice graphics and lousy voice-over.
It didn't make clear what the old theories were and what the new theory was, I had no idea why the cracking of the beams over the funeral chamber was included in such a tesre commentary and what a commentary; intended for intellectually impaired goldfish maybe?

I get increasing nervous of flash graphics and glib commentaries that on reflection have said nothing much at all of any note.

Maybe this is momentous stuff, but if so, the presentation let it down, most certainly the commentary.

RE: New Theory on Egyptian Pyramids


An interesting theory, but the script is embarrassingly sophomoric.  I was more annoyed by the ‘narrator’ whose lips didn’t move.  And what’s up with the cracked beams.  They never explain.
