Odd Happenings in the Pyramid of Chephren,
By E. Sykes
The Times of London for July 26th (1969) carries
a report by John Tunstall from Cairo on the peculiar results obtained by Dr.
Luis Alvarez and his research team in investigating the interior structure of
the Pyramid of Chephren (The Second Pyramid) with the aid of Cosmic Ray
Detectors. Over a million dollars and thousands of man hours have been spent on
the project, including the provision of an IBM 1130 Computer which was handed
over to the El Shams (presumably the ex Fouad) University of Cairo earlier this
year. Hundreds of recordings of Cosmic Rays were taken, the idea being that
there would be a somewhat greater intensity when they had to pass through
hollow spaces within the structure, thus giving the probable outline and
position of any hidden chambers. The outline of the Pyramid and its shape came
out quite well. However what has happened is that the tape recording for any
one particular day differ markedly from those for the subsequent day, which
defies all the known laws of science and electronics to quote the words of Dr.
Amr Gohed, who is currently in charge of the installation. When asked the
reason for this he replied: "Either the geometry of the Pyramid is in
substantial error, which would affect our readings, or there is a mystery which
is beyond explanation, the curse of the Pharaohs, sorcery, or magic, there is
some force which defies the laws of science in the Pyramid!" The times
correspondent found this explanation unsatisfactory, and so do I although
possibly not for the same reasons. Practically nothing keeps off Cosmic Rays
which have an immense penetrating power. For there to be a variation in the
daily readings, allowing for such freaks of nature involving a sudden change in
the intensity, there would have to be something in or near the Pyramid capable
of canceling out the Cosmic Ray pattern. Bearing in mind that the whole pyramid
complex is connected by a network of underground tunnels, one is inclined to
wonder whether the builders, having in view the protection of whatever they had
placed there, arranged for the variable Cosmic Ray barrier. This might consist
of any substance having the power of refracting these rays. The variations in
daily reading recorded above might be due to some minor factor such as the
passage of the earth round the sun. A point worthwhile remarking is the strange
insistence of the investigating team in picking the Second Pyramid instead of the
first, where they could have installed their equipment at the bottom of the
pit, some 345 feet from the entrance, where it would not have been any
inconvenience to visitors-who are never allowed there -and might have given
better results. What seems reasonably certain is that neither of the Great
Pyramids were built by the rulers whose names they bear, they all date back to
a much earlier period, as suggested by Prof. Kamienski in his article, between
BC 12,000 and BC 11,000, the Vernal Point having been in Virgo about then. E.S.

Webmaster Note- One factoid is at one time there was not a
battle and most agreed Atlantis was in the region of the Atlantic prior to the
1700's AD, next article shows the progression of what changed and pressure from
tourism issues and utopia-paradise campaigns.
The Battle for Atlantis, By E. Sykes 1969
cont. (A insider view as to what the
Greek-Crete on Atlantis view was as opposed to the Atlantic view or other views
of Atlantis in Europe and American models of subject)
As readers are well aware the entire Atlantis concept is
now split between two warring factions: Those who have climbed on the Greek
bandwaggon and are backing the idea that Thera/ Santorin and Minoan Crete were
the original atlantis, and that both Solon and Plato were either liars or
ignorant deceivers and their opponetns who feel Atlantis lay exactly where
Plato said it did, i.e. beyond the Pillars of Hercules. The other day on BBC 2,
I had the pleasure of completely demolishing the ideas of Dr. Mavor, author of
a recent book supporting the Greek theory, but there is still no lack of
Richmonds in the field, new pro greek books are coming out in profusion. The
fact that the whole move is a political one having no relationship to either
science or history, appears to have escaped most of the enthusiasts, whose
judgement may also have been affected by the fact that according to the London
Times for the 15th of September, which devoted a conference in
Athens, Crete, and Santorin, to which all supporters of their cause have been
invited. There are quite a lot of people on the East Coast who think that
Atlantis was not a Meditteranean Island, are they prepared to do anything about
it? This implies a conference somehwere between Miami and Virginia Beach, to
which the ranking European experts such as Dr. rene Malaise, Dr. Nils Odhner,
Dr. Hans Pettersson, Dr. M. Kamienski, Dr. N. Th. Zhirov, and others are
invited to state their case. But this implies adequate television, radio, press
and general interest coverage to enable everybody to put over their ideas.
Apart from the East Coast there is an immense amount of Atlantis material on
the Azores: Santa Maria, St. Miguel and, possibly, Corvo. Should it be decided
to hold part of the conference here, I think I could promise adequate support
and facilities from the Portuguese authorities. I am quite prepared to handle
the European end, but the American end must be undertaken by a new group, say
"The Atlantis Defence Committee" which could co- ordinate all the
parties concerned. I wonder if Margaret Sanders Adams would be interested in
organising this? The European end I can handle with th aid of Marguerite
Barbrook on the mainland, and Leslie Young and Isabelle Kahn in Britain. If my
American friends are really interested, the ball is now in their court. To make
matters really interesting Dr. Galenoupolos and a couple of his camp should be
invited along. In that case the CBS or one of the other major networks, plus
BBC might be interested. When the battle has been won the Committee might turn
to the problem of Pre Columbian visitors to America who were not Viking, this
simply because the Viking cause has already been estimated. E.S. 1969
From the Webmaster -Well E. Sykes dream has now come true I
have now declared the "Atlantis Defense Committee" is now formed in
America, and I am the director of the American version as of this day July 28th,
2002 . The purpose of this committee is the defense of the Atlantis question as
pertaining Atlantis not being a Mediterranean Island but purely a Atlantic and
Caribbean to the Canary Islands concept not to mention its extension from the
Azores, Cape Verde, or Bermuda all the way to Barbados. Yes we will look at
Crete information but do not expect us to look at it without grave
reservations, for Crete is to late on the seen and Plato specifies under no
terms that it is a world at the end of an Ice Age circumstance not a Black Sea,
or Crete period eruption or flooding based on 9,000 lunar years at least on
back of Atlantis endings. This means before 300 BC plus at least 8,000 years on
back or before 8,300 B.C. Not even the Cyclades showed any signs of a
substantial advancement in culture before this time. Plato got his date correct
even transcribed because it would be certain Solon would have asked many
questions as to the actual calculations of transferring date by Greek
equivalence to what the Egyptians really meant in regards to time. The
Egyptians used pentades system of time in sources of 5's they marked every
Dekan i.e. declination in intervals of 5's then 10's for the night sky. There
are some indications they used the number 7 in the beginning. So adjusting that
information in herstory not history it would seem that if it was that long ago
we might even have to push back by a increment of 2 over the 5 to get a date
even the Egyptians forgot or miscalculated of their own ancient measurements.
This would add another 2,000 years before 9,600 B.C. i.e. 11,400 B.C. Is it
possible that Greeks from the Egyptians did not over shoot the date but under
shot it by Egyptians using Denderah numbers when they should have used
Pre-Dynastic Edfu and Sais numbers. On this it is hard to say, but I am sure
that the Egyptian story was older then the 9,600 BC inundation and in a way the
two inundation's overlapped in information over time. This means the Codex
Solon looked at was a combined list and not singular on Atlantis which even
counting back the entire list of Priest names back to just after the flood by
intervals of 30 years per priest one could conclude very closely a median date,
that is if it does not overlap, of when the said event occurred. That is the
clue Plato leaves us because he states Solon saw the priest itinerary's of
lineage and successions as linear, and not otherwise. This I believe sets aside
the Greek argument fairly well since it is to bad Solon mentioned seeing them
for their sake, it just makes it another problem for them to solve. The second
problem for the Crete model is why would a culture of the Greeks and Egyptians
obsessed with time measurement neglect heritage as related to measuring events
not as just time markers but using the stars to sequence when the events
happened as a back up. It would be logical to not want to forget when the last
major catastrophe occurred, and stars are most stable and alienable based on
degree and declinational changes over time. If they knew it happened when
processional equinox of the zodiac was in this certain sign, and if the pole
moved to and adjacent star they would so mark it. This means that if Solon
adapts it to Greek he means it and so if a Crete scholar wants to put down
Greek Math as to short or inferior that’s fine, but they better take a very
close look at the Greek meter and look at what differences there is in that
over time on megalithic and linguistic evidence before they make that kind of a
conclusion because at one time Greeks had a 13th month called
Ophicus as well i.e. do we need to add now another lunar month to the greek
calendar which would only make the calculation go even further back then 1,400
B.C.. This is why the argument about if Solon calculated the date right is
definitely the wrong track by those who do not study Greek Calenderical
systems, or the Greek or even Crete cosmogony. It is sad they try to alter in
arguments that take them nowhere. It would be better to see if Akhenaten was
Oedipus and moved to Greece in a period near Crete's destruction of Thera
parallel then it being a Atlantis question, because nowhere does Plato include
Oedipus in this equation, and being a post Homer writer why did he not if it
was Thera? Nor did Plato mention a name like Ramses in connection to a king
after the Atlantis destruction well known enough to the Hebrews of his day,
which only occurred 800 years in Egypt before Plato's time. And how about that
Atlantean War with Athens, when was that? It would have to be before Thera blew
up, and you no sooner give Plato credit for that but judge Solon's dating
system? How come it is not according to Crete scholars it is not the battle at
Sea between the Phoenicians and Ramses? It was important enough for Ramses to
brag about at Medinet Habu pictures of the battle and inscriptions. But this is
after the event of Thera not before it? You would think the Mycenians would
have bragged about the sacking of Crete why would they have called it even
Atlantis, unless it was some strange parallel memory? Also, nothing in the
weaponry of the Atlantis battle of Plato is revealed as Bronze Age
distinguished. We are also told the Athenians were outnumbered and out armored
as if they were almost barely cultured Barbarians in some local miners
uprising. This is not the state of Greece at Athens at 1,400 BC they had a
population that would decimate any invasion based on population at that time,
Plato states if were not for the sinking of Atlantis they would have lost,
clearly. So, according to the Priests in Egypt saying to Solon, in so many
words , You Greeks are but children when it comes to the history of your
country, which I do not think refers to something that happened 600 years
before Solons time. Otherwise he would have restated 'You Greeks are ignorant
of your great, great, great, great grandfathers memory 4 times' and children is
far more insulting then this. It means you can't even keep a record of
prehistoric lineage, which as 'children' as in 'children of the sun' or some
clan lost to iniquity. No reason to bring up a period of grandpa, when your
children forgot his folklore's and myths, because they were that old in their
origins. This means the battle was not 600 years before Solon, it was thousands
of years before him…………. We conclude that Athens not Mycene is an older founded
city or settlement, and under all of its rubble is a culture that would be
likened to Harpooners and Sheep herders who had some affinities to Gerza or Pre
Gerza Egypt as the Priests of Egypt said so……… I apologize for no direct quotes
just wanted you all to get the gist of the Atlantis problem. These conclusions
I put forward before the discovery that I am correct about this aspect and first
noted some of the points needed to be made about Crete-Greek arguments. Also,
if they want to prove Atlantis not being in Thera it would be better if they
looked at Rhodes one of the 7 wonders of the world which had concentric harbors
and a Goliath statue of a early Apollo. Which again makes Crete-Thera look
dormant.
