Does The Ancient Egypt Has Anything To Do With Modern Aliens UFOs Phenomena? | Antigravity Devices Community

What were the Mysteries of Ancient Egypt?

Ancient Egypt’s architectural and engineering accomplishments continue to amaze (and confound) historians. From the towering Pyramid of Giza, to iconic sculptures of sphinxes and gods, the Egyptians were undoubtable masters of craftsmanship. Here, we examine what we know about these creations and debunk some of the misconceptions that surround them. 

The civilization known as Ancient Egypt originated around 3,500 BCE, and was conquered by Alexander the Great in 332 BCE. In the millennia between, the Egyptians made vast strides in almost every area of culture and science. Their influence played a major role in Greek and Roman civilizations, which later inspired modern Western civilization – so if you look, you can feel their legacy reverberating through the modern world. 

 

Despite our desire to understand the ancient Egyptian civilization, there is a mystery at the heart of their mastery of architecture and engineering – a mystery with an answer that lies buried along with the pharaohs. Their incredible technological acuity indicates that the ancients knew something we have since forgotten. Let’s examine some of the ancients’ most notable feats, which might shed some light on the mysteries of our own civilization.

 

Engineering Miracles Of Ancient Egypt: Pyramid Fever

What comes to mind when you think of ancient Egypt? Most likely, it’s the pyramids – those towering sculptures that rise up from the desert and signify so much of what human civilizations hold dear.

 

Egypt’s first pyramid is known as the Step Pyramid.

It was built in honor of a pharaoh named Djoser (sometimes spelled Zoser), who ruled during Egypt’s third dynasty. Like most pyramids, it is first and foremost a tomb, designed to provide the souls of its occupants with the most opulent afterlife possible. 

“The pyramids are there as mountains of stone proving the otherworldly nature of their god-kings. You stand in front of those pyramids and you feel it’s impossible to build such a thing…[That means] the propaganda is still working.” —Kara Cooney, Professor of Ancient Egyptian Architecture, UCLA

 

Historians believe that the Step Pyramid was designed by an architect named Imhotep, who played an important role in the development of modern writing and is also known as the patron saint of modern physicians. The pyramid began as a mastaba tomb – a structure with a flat roof and sloped sides. Constructed using 11.6 million cubic feet of stone and clay, the pyramid stands on top of 3.5 miles of mysterious tunnels. 

The complex contains countless rooms, as well as several courts, altars, and an underground palace, presumably designed so the ruler could live out his afterlife in style. The king’s sarcophagus lies at the very bottom of the subterranean labyrinth of passageways, many of which lead to false doors or branch off to additional clusters of tunnels. 

 

After the Step Pyramid's completion, construction of similar structures took off. In Egypt’s Fourth Dynasty (2680-2560 BCE), the more familiar smooth-sided pyramid form was developed. Eventually, this would lead to the construction of the greatest pyramid of all.

 

The Great Pyramid Of Giza: Egypt’s Crown Jewel

In the heart of the city of El Giza stands the Giza Pyramid Complex, also known as the Necropolis. This architectural marvel contains three pyramids: the Pyramid of Khafre, the Pyramid of Menkaure, and of course, the Great Pyramid of Giza. Though each was created for a different pharaoh, many historians are convinced that their collective design is cohesive and intentional, as the arrangement of these structures is possibly a representation of the Orion constellation. (This isn’t the only way that these pyramids have been linked to the cosmos, but we’ll get to that later).

 

The Pyramid of Menkaure is the smallest and newest of the three. Built around 2,490 BCE, it stands 61.1 meters tall and 108.5 meters wide, and its main feature is its complicated mortuary temple. The Pyramid of Khafre is the second largest pyramid in ancient Egypt, standing around 136.4 meters tall and 215.5 meters wide. Built around 2,540 BCE, it contains a network of funerary chambers and is made of blocks weighing two tons each.

 

The Complex’s crown jewel is the Great Pyramid. Most believe that it was erected under the watchful eye of the pharaoh Khufu, also known as Cheops, to be a tomb where the king would complete his transformation into a god in the afterlife. Today, it is a mind-blowing structure even if you know nothing about its technological mysteries. Standing 146.7 meters high and stretching 234.4 meters wide, it looms above everything around it. The Egyptians assembled it from 2.5 million stone blocks, some of which came from over 500 miles away, which is particularly amazing when you consider that they didn’t have the use of wheels at the time – and that construction took only 20 years!

 

“Know thyself deathless and able to know all things, all arts, sciences, the way of every life. Become higher than the highest height and lower than the lowest depth. Amass in thyself all senses of animals, fire, water, dryness and moistness. Think of thyself in all places at the same time, earth, sea, sky, not yet born, in the womb, young, old, dead, and in the after death state.” —Muata Ashby, Ancient Egyptian proverb

 

Whoever designed and built the pyramids had incredibly detailed knowledge and architectural skill. When completed, the pyramid towered over the city, and its corners aligned almost exactly with the points of a compass. In general, Egyptians often oriented structures to true north quite precisely, likely using stars such as Polaris to orient their work, and the Great Pyramid is no exception.

 

How The Pyramids Were Made: Ropes, Canals, And, Aliens?

The origins and composition of the Great Pyramid, our oldest wonder of the world (and its slightly less famous kin), have long confounded scholars. How did engineers manage to achieve the seemingly impossible feats that building these masterpieces would require?

Well, the truth is that nobody knows for sure.

While some believe that construction workers may have used large ramps to transport the stones, this theory has been largely disproven, as there is little archeological evidence to support the claim. 

Naturally, “New Age” explanations are abundant, with the most extreme theories arguing that aliens must have constructed the pyramid. It’s true that it would’ve been difficult for humans to build the pyramids, and there is precious little historical evidence of how they were built. Citing this lacuna, as well as the architectural and scientific questions that surround the pyramids, many superstitious people have proposed that aliens came to Earth in ancient times and helped kick-start civilizations. 

 

“The Great Pyramid has lent its name as a sort of by-word for paradoxes; and, as moths to a candle, so are theorisers attracted to it.” —Flinders Pietrie, The Pyramids and Temples of Gizeh,1883

 

According to these superstitions, the aliens were instrumental in helping ancient Egyptians build their masterpieces. Believers argue that in order to design the pyramids as they are, one would need a bird’s eye view – the kind that could be provided from, say, a flying saucer. They also believe that in order to create an object that obeys the so-called Golden Ratio, a mathematical relationship based on the special number Phi, the Egyptians would have needed help from outside sources.

 

The alien theory has persisted to present day. 

In 2001, Russian scientist Dr. Viktor Ivanovich claimed that the KGB had found ancient alien remains inside the Great Pyramid. This idea has also appeared in many forms in pop culture, with shows like X-Files promoting the idea that architects and historians have been hiding evidence of alien activity for hundreds of years.

 

Certainly, the Great Pyramid’s inner network of shafts, passageways, and chambers is so intricate that it’s not hard to understand why people believed that some kind of divinity or super-intelligence was involved. On the other hand, there is extensive evidence that explains both how and why the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids.

 

While we don’t know the exact details of how they were built, we do know for sure that the pyramids were constructed by skilled Egyptian craftsmen who lived in nearby compounds during the project. Today, most scholars believe that the pyramid stones were lifted from nearby quarries, and put in place with some kind of rudimentary pulley system. There is also some evidence that the stones were transported along the Nile River on boats via a canal system. Even though the pyramids’ construction appears to be miraculous, they were definitely made by human hands. 

 

Like time capsules, the pyramids are physical symbols of ancient wisdom. Made of glittering golden limestone, and always remaining around a cool 20 degrees centigrade inside, they provide glimpses of an ancient society that once neared the kind of technological intelligence we possess today. Perhaps in two thousand years, historians will speculate about the extraterrestrial origins of our fallen civilization – though it’s more likely they’ll wonder at how and why we created so many cell phones in such a short time.

 

Marvel Of Art And Science: The Sphinx

 

The Ancient Egyptians may have been quite good with rocks and stones, but at heart, they were artists, perpetually working to recreate the images of myths, kings, and gods. Of all their marvelous sculptural works, their most famous might be the Sphinx.

 

Like its pyramid counterparts, the Great Sphinx of Giza is one of the largest and most mysterious ancient structures in the world. At 240 feet long and 66 meters wide, the sphinx crouches on its forearms and haunches but looks ready to spring into action at any moment. It is often seen as a statue of solar worship, because it faces due East and because the lion is a symbol traditionally associated with the sun.

 

No one knows for sure who created this grand hybrid creature, but historians suspect that it was erected in honor of Pharaoh Khafre – the son of Khufu (who was responsible for constructing the Great Pyramid of Giza), though there isn’t much evidence to support even this claim. 

 

We do know that, unlike the pyramids, the Sphinx was not constructed from many different pieces. It was carved from a single block of limestone, which remains a miraculous feat in itself. Naturally, some people have outlandishly proposed that aliens had a hand in creating the Sphinx, too, going as far as citing similarities between the Sphinx’s visage and a humanoid “face” that appeared in a satellite photo of Mars.

 

Today, the enormous (and definitively manmade) statue still stands even after extensive vandalism and weathering, including thousands of years of having been buried almost entirely under the sand until it was dug up in the 1930s. 

 

The Great Sphinx is Egypt’s most famous tribute to this sacred feline creature, but archaeologists have unearthed thousands of sphinx statues over the years. Some other famous ones include the alabaster sphinx of Memphis, now part of an open-air museum, and the ram-headed sphinxes of Thebes, of which there were originally about 900. 

 

The sphinx appears across Egyptian, Asian, and Greek mythology, and it’s always a creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human. Sphinx statues were typically placed in front of pyramids, as it was believed that these creatures would guard the spirits of the dead. 

 

From Measurement To Hieroglyphs: Other Technologies Of Ancient Egypt

Whether or not they were blessed by alien visitors, the ancient Egyptians have provided us with some of the most important technologies humans have created. They developed modern writing technologies, including ink made of a brew of gum, soot, and beeswax; and they used the ink to write on the first paper on record, papyrus, which is crafted from the pith of the Cyperus papyrus plant. Putting their paper and ink to good use, they developed an intricate lettering system that used some 1,000 characters. The hieroglyphs survived and eventually evolved into the Phoenician alphabet, the oldest alphabetical lettering system on record. They also made strides in agriculture, inventing highly advanced cutting tools and pioneering the first iterations of technologies like the ox-drawn plow and the sickle around 4,000 BCE. 

 

Arguably, the ancient Egyptians set the stage for the hyper-advanced civilization we live in now, where we measure the grandeur of civilizations by their tallest buildings and their rapid technological growth. Unlike us, though, the Egyptians did not think they were building testaments to the living. Their work was always intended for the spirits of the dead, and if King Ramses II’s ghost is still living it up in his giant tomb in the Valley of the Kings, maybe he’s laughing at our fragile modern infrastructure (here’s looking at you, NYC subways), confident that his civilization’s legacy will outlast the ravages of time. 

 

As the ancient Arabic proverb says, “Man fears time, time fears the pyramids.”

Do these Extraterrestrials Want To Dominate The Whole World? | Antigravity Devices Community

Are we still being visited by Extraterrestrials?

The world is likely to find alien life, It could happen even sooner depending how many civilizations are out there to be found. To understand this will help us to know about someone's name "Frank Drake".

Drake is the least lonely man on Earth—if not in the entire galaxy. Most of us are reserving judgment on whether there is intelligent life on other planets; we haven’t even found bacteria yet, much less a race of aliens with Internet service and takeout food. But Drake, an astrophysicist and chairman emeritus of the California-based SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute, has no such doubts.

It was in 1961, when he was working at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, W. Va., that Drake developed the eponymous—and now famous—Drake Equation, which calculates how many advanced and detectable civilizations there should be in the Milky Way in any one year. The number turns out to be potentially huge, and while it’s admittedly based on a number of Earth-centric suppositions—the collapse of any one of which calls much of the equation into question—all of those suppositions are based in increasingly solid science.

Start with the number of stars in our galaxy, which is conservatively estimated at 100 billion, though is often cited as three times that. Of those 100 billion, from 20% to 50% probably harbor planetary systems—an estimate that becomes more and more reliable as the Kepler Space Telescope and various ground-based observatories detect increasing numbers of exoplanets.

Not all of those exoplanets would be capable of sustaining Earth-like life, so the equation assumes from 1 to 5 in any system could. Of those bio-friendly worlds, from 0% to 100% would actually go on to develop life. And of those world, in turn, from 0% to 100% would develop life forms that we would consider intelligent.

The mere existence of intelligent life forms tells us nothing, however, unless they have the ability to make themselves known—which means to manipulate radio waves and other forms of electromagnetic signaling. Drake estimates that from 10% to 20% of the smart civilizations would clear that bar.

Finally, and perhaps most anthropocentrically, the equation considers how long any one of those semaphoring civilizations would be around to blink their signals our way. A sun like ours survives for about 10 billion years; life on Earth has been around for only about 3.5 billion years, and humans have been radio-capable for barely a century.

If we destroy ourselves in an environmental or nuclear holocaust tomorrow, our signal will go dark then. If we survive for tens of thousands of years, we will be announcing our presence to the cosmos for far longer—and the same is true of all of the other civilizations that live in the Milky Way.

Factor all of this together and stir in a little statistical seasoning concerning our increasing ability to study other star systems for signals, and, as the above interactive shows—the results can vary wildly. If you play the game conservatively—lowballing all of the variables—you might get about 1,000 detectable civilizations out there at any given time. Play it more liberally and you get hundreds of millions. The interactive let’s you play that game yourself. Imagine there are 10,000 detectable civilizations and we are likely to find alien life by 2040. If there are a million, we’d discover alien life by 2028.

Nobody pretends the Drake Equation is the final word. Even its enthusiasts admit that it is, at best, a way to “organize our ignorance.” But organized ignorance is a whole lot better than the disorganized kind; and it is, almost always, a starting point toward wisdom.

Methodology

Astronomers looking for alien signals have examined only a few thousand star systems so far. But as SETI Institute senior astronomer Seth Shostak has noted, the rate at which researchers are able to process the massive amounts of data that radio telescopes receive doubles approximately every 18 months to two years, meaning it grows by a factor of ten every six years or so.

The Milky Way has around 100 billion (1011) star systems that could conceivably host intelligent life under our current assumptions. An estimate of 100,000 (105) active civilizations in the galaxy would mean one per million star systems. At the exponential rate of growth in signal processing, researchers will have examined one million candidates by around 2034, bringing the odds of a discovery into the probable. 

Adding or removing a zero from the estimate of the number of civilizations out there merely adds or subtracts six years from the estimate, respectively, since that’s how long it takes to expand our search proportionally. See you in 2040, aliens.

The Mysteries of "BERMUDA" Triangle Revealed! | Antigravity Devices Community

What Do They Don't Want us to Know about This Area?

The Bermuda Triangle is a mythical section of the Atlantic Ocean roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico where dozens of ships and airplanes have disappeared. 

Unexplained circumstances surround some of these accidents, including one in which the pilots of a squadron of U.S. Navy bombers became disoriented while flying over the area; the planes were never found. Other boats and planes have seemingly vanished from the area in good weather without even radioing distress messages. But although myriad fanciful theories have been proposed regarding the Bermuda Triangle, none of them prove that mysterious disappearances occur more frequently there than in other well-traveled sections of the ocean. In fact, people navigate the area every day without incident.

Legend of the Bermuda Triangle

The area referred to as the Bermuda Triangle, or Devil’s Triangle, covers about 500,000 square miles of ocean off the southeastern tip of Florida. When Christopher Columbus sailed through the area on his first voyage to the New World, he reported that a great flame of fire (probably a meteor) crashed into the sea one night and that a strange light appeared in the distance a few weeks later. He also wrote about erratic compass readings, perhaps because at that time a sliver of the Bermuda Triangle was one of the few places on Earth where true north and magnetic north lined up.

Did you know? After gaining widespread fame as the first person to sail solo around the globe, Joshua Slocum disappeared on a 1909 voyage from Martha’s Vineyard to South America. Though it’s unclear exactly what happened, many sources later attributed his death to the Bermuda Triangle.

William Shakespeare’s play “The Tempest,” which some scholars claim was based on a real-life Bermuda shipwreck, may have enhanced the area’s aura of mystery. Nonetheless, reports of unexplained disappearances did not really capture the public’s attention until the 20th century. 

An especially infamous tragedy occurred in March 1918 when the USS Cyclops, a 542-foot-long Navy cargo ship with over 300 men and 10,000 tons of manganese ore onboard, sank somewhere between Barbados and the Chesapeake Bay. The Cyclops never sent out an SOS distress call despite being equipped to do so, and an extensive search found no wreckage. “Only God and the sea know what happened to the great ship,” U.S. President Woodrow Wilson later said. In 1941 two of the Cyclops’ sister ships similarly vanished without a trace along nearly the same route.

Langston Hughes' Path to Becoming the ‘People’s Poet’ 

A pattern allegedly began forming in which vessels traversing the Bermuda Triangle would either disappear or be found abandoned. Then, in December 1945, five Navy bombers carrying 14 men took off from a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, airfield in order to conduct practice bombing runs over some nearby shoals. But with his compasses apparently malfunctioning, the leader of the mission, known as Flight 19, got severely lost. All five planes flew aimlessly until they ran low on fuel and were forced to ditch at sea. That same day, a rescue plane and its 13-man crew also disappeared. After a massive weeks-long search failed to turn up any evidence, the official Navy report declared that it was “as if they had flown to Mars.”

Bermuda Triangle Theories and Counter-Theories

By the time author Vincent Gaddis coined the phrase “Bermuda Triangle” in a 1964 magazine article, additional mysterious accidents had occurred in the area, including three passenger planes that went down despite having just sent “all’s well” messages. Charles Berlitz, whose grandfather founded the Berlitz language schools, stoked the legend even further in 1974 with a sensational bestseller about the legend. 

Since then, scores of fellow paranormal writers have blamed the triangle’s supposed lethalness on everything from aliens, Atlantis and sea monsters to time warps and reverse gravity fields, whereas more scientifically minded theorists have pointed to magnetic anomalies, waterspouts or huge eruptions of methane gas from the ocean floor.

In all probability, however, there is no single theory that solves the mystery. As one skeptic put it, trying to find a common cause for every Bermuda Triangle disappearance is no more logical than trying to find a common cause for every automobile accident in Arizona. 

Moreover, although storms, reefs and the Gulf Stream can cause navigational challenges there, maritime insurance leader Lloyd’s of London does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle as an especially hazardous place. Neither does the U.S. Coast Guard, which says: “In a review of many aircraft and vessel losses in the area over the years, there has been nothing discovered that would indicate that casualties were the result of anything other than physical causes. No extraordinary factors have ever been identified.”
