You may remember that at the Millenium the Great Pyramid of Giza was scheduled to be capped, though it never happened, and conspiracy theories aboud on the net as to why.
The Millenium was a difficult time for me, and I remember waiting up to watch the ceremony, not realising that it had been cancelled. I was quite sad at this, but I guess the time was not right.
Now, I would love to see the pyramid capped for all sorts of reasons. It is symbolic. It would help renew interest in Egypts tourist industry. It would be quite energetic really, focusing attention and beaming out across our world a message of splendor, of hope, of romance, of Maat.
Do you think that it should happen?

Interesting.
Assuming that people are not simply teasing, it would be interesting to find out why people object.
What harm would it do?

Stewart,
I am afraid I do not understand what you mean by the pyramid being capped. Can you explain please?

One of the Millenium celebrations was suppost to involve a Jean Michael Jare (? apologies for misspelling here) concert at the Giza Pyramids, and a small pyramid was to be flown in and placed on the top of the Great Pyramid, symbolically completing it once again.
Apparently it was called of a few months prior to the event, and conspiracy theories about as to why (including an important bit being sunk in a helicopter crash, the old Masonic/zionist conspiracy issues etc, different Masonic groups [Egyptian and Bablylonian] fighting out old battles in the modern age - some say that their were Cunniform inscriptions quickly flashed in New York(?) during their celebrations etc).
Putting all of these conspiracy theories to one side, for whatever reason the capping did not happen.
Given that I would argue that I was initiated in this pyramid on a holiday there (I felt a peace, a feeling of having been there before - which I did not really think about at the time, but it sent me on a decade plus search that brought me to the physical door of Freemasonry in our world today), I do romanticise about it.
But perhaps if it were duly completed again its energies would be even more powerful in our world. And if anyone doubts that it has energy then think of the millions who flock to it each year. It is quite magnetic in its own way.
I just wonder how much of a boost to the Egyptian economy there would be if it was duly capped again. Could bring in a lot of tourists. Actually it is a pity that it is closed to the public just now, for knowing what I know now, I would be very interested in entering the Kings Chamber once again. Hopefully it will reopen one day soon.
Sorry I have babbled on, but Egyptian antiquities are close to my heart.

Has anybody asked an Egyptian if they want their Pyramid capped?
Does anybody think that with all our modern skills we could cap the thing with out wrecking it... I don't think so.

One would have to assume that the Egyptian Government were behind the capping in the first place.

GP, I know you just love a conspiracy theory. ;D Only because of the amusement they give me when I point out the facts ;D ;D Although I should point out that neither Dr. Hawass or the Ministry of Antiquities have ever given a really concrete reason why they pulled the plug at the last minute, other than they were sick of the Conspiracy Theories going around. This in its own right went on to fuel more silliness. GP

GP
I will offer a conspiracy theory as to why - there may have been a bit missing.
. Though my personal favourite is the Egyptian, Babylonian battle. Actually in this regard, you appear to be a widely read man, do you know any reliable sources whcih show if the New York (I think NY) millenium celebrations really did have a really fast cunniform message flash, but which is only seen when the recordings of the neon displays are slowed right down? The romantic in me quite likes that one.

The interview in Edition 460 addresses the helicopter idea, it never actually got off the ground, so to speak ;D No I've not heard that one but it seems a bit pointless if you have to fiddle with something to try and make it happen. A bit like rotating records backwards to hear Satanic messages ;D GP

The sheer beauty of romance gets me every time.
Possibly the most powerful energy known to man.

For those who like "The Builders" have a look at this magnificient site and get a feel for what these early Egyptians actually achieved. www.thebanmappingproject.com/You have to go into the site not just read the opening credits.

That is indeed an excellent site Bill.
One beauty of the monunemts is that there is so much encoded there. Awe inspiring to look at, wonderful to walk around, facinating to read, touch and immerse yourself in. Whatever you think of the ancient egyptians, they covered such a timespan, offer such a record of evolution, and left it all for us to make sense of, in such a simple yet sheerly wonderful way.
When I visited Egypt I was but a mere tourist, just drawn there, as indeed was my wife. We always say that it is like a magnet. I really must return one day, when my family circumstances permit it, perhaps with the Freemasonry Today tours if I can, they sound interesting.
Actually has anyone here been on a Freemasonry Today tour of Egypt?

Actually has anyone here been on a Freemasonry Today tour of Egypt? As you know I was there in June based in Luxor and flew up to Cairo to visit Gizeh and the Egyptian Museum at Cairo. I've never seen or heard of a "Masonic " tour available and having been there, I feel it would be mightily difficult to accomplish. I experienced many wonderful things there, mainly within the Temples at Luxor and Karnak and to a much lesser extent the Temples at Denderra & Hatshapsut. This is probably because the Pyramids were basically "show-off" Sepulchres whereas the temples were actual centres of the Egypitians' worship. I can't help feeling that moves such as returning the Obelisks (London, Paris & Rome) and stolen antiquities to these temples is likely to achieve more on an "energising" level. One thing that I agree with Stewart about is that you cannot imagine the majesty and awe that these ancient places places inspire without actually being there. GP

I've never seen or heard of a "Masonic " tour available and having been there, I feel it would be mightily difficult to accomplish. I meant the Freemasonry Today, magazine, tours, not a Masonic tour as such. Though I have been told by a 30 degree FM that on my return the Masonic relevance will be immediately apparent to me. I guess that I will have to wait and see. Karnak certainly has a strong pull. I agree. And indeed I have in the past emailed the Egyptian authorities about this very issue (well I would wouldn't I). However there is much to be said for having the world benefit from the monuments. As with all things it is about balance. Brilliant. General Pike It sounds like you do have an esoteric side. You see it is the monuments inherent and residual energy, and how it interacts with your own energies that has this effect. If you want to test this look for my post to Taylorsman telling him how to feel the energies in GQS, and the excellent elaborations and guidance to him from others. I should start in the museums though, you may be in for some suprises. You may not consider it to be Masonic, but it is a phenomenon that is worth you testing. It may take some years for your body to properly attune, but if you can take the steps to do this, you will find a whole new perspective on life open up before you. Assuming of course that it has not already. You see esoteric is not just academic, it is also very practical.
