Its purpose was set in stone.
Aliens might not have built the Egyptian pyramids, but that apparently doesn’t mean they didn’t serve a higher purpose.
Independent researcher Sefy Levy argued that the Great Pyramid’s proportions comprise a secret numeric system that was designed to last long after the builders had gone.
In the yet-to-be-peer reviewed paper in the journal SSRN, the scientist declared that these hidden hieroglyphics are embedded in the 4,500-year-old pyramid’s height, base, sloping sides and overall shape like an Egyptological “Da Vinci Code.”
Much like an ancient Mayan calendar, these measurements parallel the cycles of the moon, calendar and planets visible to the naked eye.
Therefore, Levy deduced that these patterns were designed to preserve the ancient Egyptians’ knowledge of math, astronomy and other subjects for eternity, indicating that the Great Pyramid was more than just a funerary monument erected for the Pharaoh Khufu as the textbooks claim, the Daily Mail reported.
“The pyramid is not a container for knowledge,” the researcher declared. “It is the knowledge, made stone.”
To determine that these astronomical easter eggs were hiding in plain sight, Levy divided the pyramid’s key measurements using fractions employed by ancient Egyptian scribes, finding that the results mirrored important numbers in mathematics and astronomy.
For instance, one of the results, 27.5, was eerily close to the 27.55-day interval between successive lunar perigees, the point in the moon’s orbit when it’s closest to Earth.
Levy posited that another answer, 70, symbolized the 70 days that the star Sirius disappears from view, obscured by the sun’s glare.
