CHAPTER 3

The Old Kingdom
2700 B.C. to 2090 B.C.

The "Old Kingdom", as history designated this period in earth time, refers to the six hundred and ten years which passed between the rise of the great ruling dynasties in Upper Egypt (and to a lesser extent in Lower Egypt) and coming of the "Age of Inundation."

Modern historians often try to relegate pyramid building to this era,
but that is in error, for at that time pyramid building was just ending.

Prior to the Great Flood, the Egyptians customarily called the Lower
Kingdom "The Land of the Mr." This term referred to the land of the
pyramids. To be absolutely specific, the term "mr" meant the meridian
triangle of the pyramid whose hypotenuse is the apothem. In essence, mr
is a right triangle with one angle of 36 degrees and another of 54
degrees. This system of measure was used for all planning, surveying and
geographical data in the ancient world.

Pyramid building originated in Khe prior to the Atlantean holocaust.
The first pyramid was built to demonstrate a point in geometry and to
prove that a triangle was the basic building block of the cosmos.

Like so many other nations, and perhaps with better justification, my
people believed that when the gods created Earth they began with mr,
from which they systematically fashioned Egypt. When they had it
completed they saw that it was perfect and, again with mr blocks,
fashioned Earth around it.

Our scribe has often been asked about the ancient land of Mu which
supposedly existed about the time of Atlantis. Mr, Mur or Mu (all
pronounced the same, but, of course, in your English language you need to
use a vowel with a consonant) refers then to a particular method of
geodetic survey rather than to a race of people.

The first pyramid built about 10,000 years ago was used as part of the
attempt by Khe'ans to convince Atlantean scientists to desist in their
black light experiments. This particular shape proved that the radius of
a circle as applied to height would result in a geometric form that
would have no relationship to any form then known. Pyramid shapes defied
all aspects of nature in such a way that they became the start and
finish of the Khe metaphysicans' venture into the realm of black light,
or anti-nature.

They went to great lengths to demonstrate to the Atlanteans the many
ways by which this line of experimentation could lead to disaster, even
though the shapes had a multitude of applications -- some good, others
very bad for humanity.

After the first pyramid was completed, the Khe'ans decided to
discontinue this line of geometrical exploration. However, as they had
always been perfectly free with their knowledge, the secret of pyramid
building was out, and later leaders of Lower Egypt decided to duplicate
the shape for their own purposes.

Khufu (Cheops), who lived about B.C. 2200, gained fame for having the
largest pyramid at Giza completed in his reign. Long after this time
Herodotus, who knew nothing of the lost art of levitation for building,
gained his own measure of fame by calculating that it must have required
the daily services of not less than one hundred thousand men over a
period of twenty years to have built the pyramid at Giza. Oh the
contortions to which ego will go to prove its own logic!

Is it even conceivable that there was enough spare manpower in Egypt
that any monarch could afford to expend such quantities of humanity in
this manner?

Furthermore, fertile land was quite limited; fish, fowl and grain
gathering were time-consuming operations, so how could such an army be
fed without near impossible sacrifices for the whole Lower Egyptian
population?

The formula for levitation was held only by the Priests of the Serpent,
the most secret order of them all. Their knowledge gave them the ability
to neutralize the atomic structure of stone and similar solids and to
make them weightless for a period of time. This information was never
known by any of the kings or Pharaohs of Egypt, even though the monarch
received the formal credit for any building done in his reign.

Contained within the earliest pyramids, well documented by scholarly
men of the ancient tongue, lay all the secrets of ancient philosophy,
theology, science and metaphysics.

However, the examples of pyramids which are extant on earth today are
comparatively crude and certainly do not embody all the mathematical
secrets of Khe. Modern mathematicians who are trying to unlock the
secrets of the pyramids are working in complete darkness, and hopefully
it will remain that way until humanity has evolved into the era of
personal responsibility.

However, after the Great Flood the last remnants of the old Khe
territory were swept away, and when the floodwaters finally subsided,
the high spots emerged as a series of small islands in the newly formed
Mediterranean Sea. Among these was an island known today as Samos.

In about 550 B.C., a young mystic named Pythagorus, who lived on the
island of Samos, did tune into the creative forces and re-discover the
principle of mr and the secret of the structure of matter as it was
understood in Khe.

Mathematics, music and geometry -- these three are the keys of cosmic
awareness.

Overjoyed with the thrill of his discovery, the young man immediately
gave one hundred oxen to the muses in thanks for the inspiration which
he fully recognized as coming from a source beyond his logical physical
mind.

All present-day geometry is based on Pythagorus' proposition, namely
that the square of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to
the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

In other writings, Winifred has explained how all things in Nature are
angular; her "building blocks" are invariably composed of straight
lines. This is because they are moulded by the etheric blueprint into
such fashions. It would be necessary to write a whole treatise on the
history of mathematics to fully explain what this means. For those
readers who are especially interested in this aspect, we would suggest
delving into the writings of Euclid who, in 300 B.C., in the Nile city
of Alexandria, began picking up the threads of Pythagorus' teachings and
expressing the ideas in writing.

Euclid was educated by pupils of Plato who, if you remember, was
reported to have first heard about the fabled continent of Atlantis from
Arabian geographers.

When Euclid's books were translated from Arabic into Latin they were
in use for 2,000 years as the basic text books for geometry. He also
wrote The Division of the Scale, a mathematical discussion of music
first discovered by Pythagorus, who learned to make harmonious and
discordant notes by dividing strings into mathematically equal sections.

Arabian culture was an indirect result of intermingling with the Khe
people during their four-hundred-year occupation of Lower Egypt. After
this period, Arabian scholars took endless delight in playing with
calculations. They could arrange numbers in such a way as to exhaust all
the possible ways of dividing space mathematically, always in a 2-4-6
rotation of combinations, though; never with five or seven.

Again, to serious students we would suggest that the best extant
example of this art, expressed architecturally, is the Alhambra in
Spain. This beautiful palace depicting the Moslems' idea of heaven
contains examples of all basic mathematical principles.

How breathtakingly beautiful it is to see the Master in so many of His
varied forms of expression on the earth plane. God, the Scientist,
manifested in the beauty, truth and wisdom of mathematics, music and
geometry. Although it is somehow beyond the grasp of the intellect, it
does provide the eager Psi with a staggering glimpse of His enormity.

In the early dynasties one to six, the god Ra, won popular support
throughout the Length and breadth of Egypt. The period was one of
religious amalgamation, as smaller sects became absorbed into the
mainstream of religious thought.

The sixth dynasty ended a period of religious confusion and turbulence
and saw a single comprehensive theme emerge even though minor local
customs persisted beyond this era.

There were many stonemasons and craftsmen but few independent thinkers.
Church policy was to keep the common man in ignorance and supply the
rich with intrigue and mystery within its temples. It looked after
itself before others and almost all the craftsmen who did develop were
engaged in furthering these goals.

This period saw the rise to power of kings and priests who developed a
firm liaison. It ended with a gradual settling down of the people and
establishment of authority.
