Man Who Built the Great Pyramid

Back Home Up Next

    Book Summary:    

Ham went to Egypt after ruling in Babylonia and corrupted the people with his evil ways. 
Shem came and executed his brother and instituted God's ways.
The priests of Egypt were angry because of their de-motion as priests.
SHEM was righteous and Godly, he built the pyramid as a testament of the truth.
Mythology is a veiled language that can reveal these events as facts.
The Hyksos, or Shepherd Kings were Shem and his son in ancient Egypt.

The Chapter Headings are somewhat misleading, in that the places I quoted contain valuable information.  For Example: "HAM in History" had information about the Hyksos, Shepherd Kings (Shem and his son).

XXVI.   A Proposed Outline of History Between 2000 and 1300 BC

Dynasty 1-3 replaced by Ham (Menes) and Nimrod ruling from the flood 2348 BC - to Shem's arrival before 2140 BC

Dynasty 4 is Shem (Khufu), Japheth (Khafre), and Shem's son Mycerinus (b. 2237 - 1799) who ruled after Japheth and lived about 438 yrs.

Mrs. Bristowe disregards Dynasties 6-12, and says Mycerinus was Joseph's pharaoh.  I disagree, rather the 12th dynasty was real, as seen from David Rohl's book.

Again Disregarding Dynasties 13, 14, 16, 17 as priestly forgeries.  The 15th Dynasty is other names for SHEM therefore the "Hyksos conquest" was purposely put out-of-sequence, belonging to the 4th Dynasty.

Again the 13th, 14th, & 17th Dynasties seem legitimate looking at the DomainofMan.com chart.

I don't see a problem eliminating the 15th dynasty as Mrs. Bristowe does because I believe the Hyksos conquest was Shem's arrival, and the priests would make every effort to cover that up. Also it overlaps the 17th and 16th Dynasties.

MY SYNOPSIS:

1st Dynasty Ham & Nimrod (Old 1-3)

2nd Dynasty Shem, Japheth, and Mycerinus - (Old 4th & 15th)

3rd Dynasty (Old 12th, 13th, 14th, 17th) 13th -Pharoah that knew not Joseph

4th Dyansty (old 18th - "Heretic Kings" who worshipped the God of Israel, overthrown by Ramses & the priests)

5th Dyansty - Ramses II who was Shishak of the Old Testament, sacked the Temple of Solomon

      .      .      .      .       .      .      .      .

XXV.  The Great Pyramid and Semti's Tablet

This tablet is as important as the Rosetta Stone!  "The clasp to the chain of evidence which identifies the Pyramid Builder with Shem. . ."
(p. 145)  It was a "satirical cartoon aimed at Shem" by the evil Priesthood.  Mrs. Bristowe explains the evidence in great detail in Appendix K.

In one corner is seen over the figure of Semti an outstretched arm holding a water-pot, symbol of Nu (Noah), while above, at the end of a long neck is the head of an ass, (unfortunately) the symbol of Set (Shem), the whole goup of signs meaning "Shem, son of Noah."

Semti wears the long hair and beard of the Shepherd Kings ... for just below him is the hieroglyphic for a temple or "great house," and in it the growing plant, symbol of Shu or Set (Shem), the two signs combined presumably meaning "the great house of Set or Sutech, " IOW, "the Great Pyramid of Shem."

Semti is probably in the act of building the Pyramid, for he seems to be placing a plank upon four upright pillars, representing either "the pillars of Shu," . . . or the four cardinal points which might refer to the perfect orientation of the Pyramid.

Top right, "around him are grouped seven objects, the seven stars or "turners-round" of Typhon the Great Bear, emblematic probably of Shem's seven companions in the Ark.

I.     Egypt The Land OF HAM
Professor Sayce writes: "The Egyptians themselves called their country Khem, the Hebrew Ham."  Note p. 18

II.    Conspiracy Of Secrecy 
Taking the Sacred cubit of the Hebrews (which Sir Isaac Newton proved to be 25 inches) the register tonnage of the Ark calculated on a ship's hold capacity was approximately 36,750 tons, an amount exceeded only by five vessels afloat to-day, four of which fly the British ensign....To build a ship of this capacity in wood is a far more elaborate and difficult undertaking than to do so in steel or iron, owing to the enormous size of the frame timbers required, and the great skill necessary to fashion them, the building up of angle bars and plates for a steel ship being child's play in comparison" (The Great Pyramid, Basil Stewart, p.63) (p.18 Note 2 Mrs. Bristowe)

"Herodotus (400B.C.), "The Father of History," seems to have suspected that the priests were laughing in their sleeves while pretending to impart information..." (p.23)

III.  The Conspirators 
"...the knowledge of God and of His laws existed in Egypt in very early times...texts closely related to the Hebrew Scriptures....examples of these so-called Pyramid Texts are given by Sir Ernest Budge...another writer says: "In the Prisse Papyrus is found the fifth commandment..." (P. 28)

The priests then, "...hatred of anything relating to the Hebrew religion is shown by their mythological texts in which we find the Creator of the world represented as the grotesque Khepera, the scarab beetle (a dung beetle which lays in eggs in a pile of dung)...Shem is associated with everything vile and harmful and portrayed alternately as a hippopotamus, a crocodile, a serpent, a pig, ass, or a hideous dwarf...and by extolling...Ham as their great god Amon.
    Fortunately this predilection for the "palpable obscure" gives us the key to the priests' writings.  They evidently thought it the "funniest joke in the world to tell the truth" on occasions, and a good deal of information can be derived from the inscriptions if we assume that the writers were constantly hinting at events and characters found in the Hebrew Scriptures." (p.30)

V.   Origin of Hieroglyphics 
"...the Hyksos statues in the Cairo Museum have been re-labelled as follows:  "Formerly considered Hyksos, but probably far more ancient."  This discovery is an invaluable support for my claim that Manetho's story of the Hyksos conquest was based upon SHEM's arrival in Egypt..." (p.40)

VI.  How the Priests Rose to Power 
Thothmes IV "was the first of the three 'heretic kings' mentioned with obvious disapproval in the priests' inscriptions...writings ascribed by the priests to Amenhotep IV; referring to which writings and their resemblance to Hebrew Psalms..." (p. 43)  
If you refer to the charts (800-1200 BC) on the website DomainofMan.com you will see why Thothmes IV was reviving the religion of the Hebrews because the United Monarchy of the Israelites was in full swing and wielded power over the region of Egypt, even influencing their religion, especially encroaching upon Solomon's time and the Pharaohs ruling during that time.  Mrs. Bristowe did not have this information at her disposal, so we are blessed to put these thoughts together.

VII.  More Reasons for the Priests' Hatred of the Israelites 
Amenhotep III & Amenhotep IV were the two remaining "Heretic Kings". "...The  close resemblance of Amenhotep IV's writings to the Hebrew Psalms, and his surrender of the rich province of Palestine to the Israelites can only point to the conclusion that he worshipped the God of Israel." (p.47)

"Professor Sayce writes, 'There is a curious attempt made by Amenhotep IV of the 18th dynasty to revolutionize the Egyptian religion, and to replace the old religion of the state  by a sort of monotheistic pantheism...Akhnaton ...spoke of himself as 'living in the truth.'  I have set truth in my inward parts,...and falsehood is my loathing; for I know that the king rejoices in truth...
When suddenly, because of the revelation through an Israelitish prophet of the omnipotence of the God of Israel, their proud position was threatened...What further explanation is required of their intense hatred of the saintly poet-king...?" (pp. 50-1)

Incidentally, Psalm 51:6 "thou desirest truth in the inward parts..." is a Psalm of David, who this Egyptian King may have known personally.

"Amenhotep's palace and the houses of his courtiers have recently been excavated and show every sign of sudden and intentional destruction...the Builder of the Great Pyramid reputation will shape the young king's destiny." (p.52)

XII. Archaeological Evidence 
"The art in Egypt bursts upon us as a flower...What possible explanation can be suggested for the arrival in Egypt of this marvelous art at that early period, unless we turn to the book of Genesis and note the description of the Ark of Noah, which, as a recent writer points out, was in its way quite as wonderful an achievement as the Great Pyramid..." (p.71)

XIV.  Bible Stories Mythologized 
"Another legend called The Destruction of Mankind...in it we find Noah under the name Nun the Deity of the Heavenly waters and Nut, while the gods Su, Seb, and Tefnut, represent Shem, Ham, and Japhet, and "the sanctuary" mentioned, the Ark." (p. 77)

"Thus the curious consistency which runs through Mythology along with its inconsistencies and absurdities enables us to trace Noah and his sons in Egyptian inscriptions which otherwise seem gibberish...in China, where two lions form the favorite ornaments in pottery or metal,...represent male and female, as where Egyptian lion-gods, Shu and Tefnut, ... the male lion places his paw protectively upon a round object which might represent a globe, thereby coinciding with the Egyptian texts referring to Shu as uplifting the world because of which he is thought to be the original of the Greek Atlas." (p.81)

XV.  SHEM as the Air-god SHU 
"Inscriptions revealed the identity of Shu with the Pyramid Builder ... identical with Khnum or Num whom the Cambridge History  says, speaking of the Pyramid, "Its builder was Khnum-Khufu, ..." as we have seen the Arabs said that "Num-Khufu lived in the Pyramid with Noah"   Max Muller noted..."the soul of Shu is Khnum"...also identifies Khnum with Ptah...and says Ptah "was the architect who placed his building on the pole and the four cardinal points."...interesting in view of the uniquely perfect orientation of the great pyramid."(p. 82)

"In "Wars of the Titans"...the struggle between the sons of Noah, i.e. Cronus, Japetus, and Titan (or Typhon)...Set-Typhon, another of Shem's Egyptian pseudonyms...representing him as the enemy and murderer of their favorite god Osiris (Nimrod)..." (p. 85)

"Thus under the disguise of the gods Shu and Bes, we catch vivid glimpses of Shem.  That the priests knew all about him is indicated by the fact that in their inscriptions they portray him as radiant, spiritually minded, righteous, and heroic being---Atlas, bearing up the heavens above the earth--Hercules, a champion and defender of the faith." (p.88)

XVI.  HAM in Egyptian Mythology 
"Colonel Garnier, after explaining that Ouranus (as the hero of the universal Flood) certainly represents Noah..."
Euhemerus relates that
"The first king of the world was Uranus, a man renowned for justice and benevolence, and well conversant with the stars" (p. 91-2)

XVII.  HAM in Babylonian Mythology 
"Bishop Cumberland offers a reason for Ham's depravity suggesting that his wife was Naamah, the only woman descendant of Cain mentioned in the Bible..." (p.93)

XVIII.  HAM in History as Scorpion, Menes, Mendes, Moeris, and Amenemhat III 
"2 "Minyae (the measurers Min or Men) were the great irrigating, building, and trading race of the primeval world." (Ruling Races of Prehistoric Times J.F. Hewitt, Vol. II ,p. 364)
...that word came to mean in Egyptian "Asiatic Shepherds"...in Coptic (modern Egyptian) as Meni, "maker of cattle-pens,"...
It was typical , too, of the hieratic sculptors of later days to represent kings and gods holding an object which is proved by an Egyptian drawing...to be the tether-pin of herdsman or shepherds, although the old royal shepherd race had ceased to reign in Egypt
2
Menus, said to mean the supposed Shepherd Race...
3
While the Hyksos statues are lions with human faces, in hierolglyphics a lion couchant is called Mentu " (p.98-9)

XIX.   A Startling Possibility 
"Professor Sayce says that the Egyptian for Pharaoh was Per-aa or Pira, and that the word meant "great house", but...it is far more probable that it was derived from the Hebrew word Pira, which meant long hair...and the name Shufu or Khufu, meaning long or much hair, given to the Builder, was a suitable nickname." (p. 108)

"Finally, the prophet Ezekiel likens the Pharaoh of past times to a young lion, and the Pharaoh of his own time (700 BC) to a serpent..." (p. 110)

XX.   Why Nimrod fled to Egypt 
"Shem's son Asshur invaded Nimrod in his Babylonian Kingdom and took possession of it.  He was presumably the Samu-abi of the Babylonian inscriptions whose name meant "Shem is my father?
In Inscriptions Hammurabi is made to state that his Code of Laws was given to him by the god Shamash...(represents Shem)" (p. 112)

XXI.  SHEM as the Evil god Set-Typhon, Apep, or Apophis 
"  "Greek mythology speaks of Cronus, Japetus, and Typhon as.... sons of Ouranus or Coelus" (Worship of the Dead, Garnier, p. 18)
The name Typhon was perhaps inspired by the story of Shem's sudden descent upon Egypt, his execution of Nimrod, and suppression of the Hamitic rulers, for , as Professor Wilkinson writes:
"The word Typhon was applied to a whirlwind in former times, as at the present day" (Ancient Egyptians, Vol.III, p.144).
He adds:
"Tuphan is the Arabic name of the Deluge . . . it is the Chinese Tai Fung, 'great wind'. "
Here the attractive probability presents itself that Shem was the human original of the Greek god Poseidon, in whom "the unruly wildness of the sea was reflected,"
Of Poseidon we read: "while he sends storm and hsipwreck, heis also a beneficient god, who sends favourable winds.  Every occupation on or by the sea, navigation, trade, fishing, is subject to his power; he also it is who grants victory by sea.
Proteus, who I suggest also represents SHEM in Greek mythology, was the "old man of the sea," whom Menelaus in the Odyssey calls "the ancient one divine" and "the prophet of Egypt."
(p.119-120)

XXII.  Nimrod's Reign in Egypt and His Death 
"Assuming Nimrod was driven out of Babylon by Asshur (Shem's son), then Nimrod is the Osiris of Mythology with Amon (Ham) his father." (p. 124)

They say " Osiris was murdered by his wicked brother Typhon ... even that the head of Osiris was cut off by Shesmu . . . the priests invented an elaborate myth in which Osiris was made king of the underworld . . . and SHEM a criminal tried, condemned, and executed by Osiris . . . the trial of Nimrod by Shem was the roles of judge and criminal reversed." (p. 128-9)

XXIII.  Shem as the Hyksos King Salatis or Apepi 
" . . . Shu, who represents Shem, is identical with the evil god Set, but also that Set was another name for Salatis or Apepi, the Hyksos king, . . . those names "look like an unpleasant joke," . . . Salatis, meaning Many Lies, Beon ---- Filthy Fellow, Apachnas ---- Bond Slave, Assis---Satan, and Apophis or Apepi---Spirit of Evil." (p. 132-3)
"the Sut-Typhonians---the people, so to say, of the Great Bear and the Dog Star---who were the most learned astronomers of Egypt and the builders of the great Pyramid . . . " (Book of Beginnings, Vol. II, p. 397)

XXIV.  SHEM as the Pyramid Builder and Melchizedec 
"Several Egyptian texts suggest that the efforts of Shem and Japhet to convert the Egyptians, and their religious customs were always remembered . . .  " ( p. 139)
"Shu and Tefnut are a form of lion-gods fighting against the wicked." (Book of Beginnings, Vol. II, p. 240)
"Sem is the Sun with two tall plumes---the lion-gods called the Sems, his ministers" (Ibid., Vol. II, p. 259)

XXVII.  SHEM's "Sacred Book" and it's influence upon Amenhotep IV 
"Parts of the Book of the Dead were copied from Shem's writings, while the rest ws concocted by the Egyptian Priests . . . " (p. 153)

XXVIII.  SHEM's Writings 
"Egyptologists have on and all taken for granted that the Hebrew-like psalms and texts upon the walls of Tel-el-Amarna were composed by Amenhotep IV, whom they therefore acclaim as the inventor of "a religion second only to Christianity," and as a great religious teacher, philosopher, and poet." (p. 159)

XXIX.  SHEM's Prophecies 
" . . .
the so-called Pyramid Texts, ascribed to the time of Semti, i.e. Shem . . . the Cambridge History says: "A Saviour is actually predicted, . . . closely akin to the prophetic writing of the Hebrews . . . "(p. 166)

XXX.    The Influence of NOAH's Sons Upon Humanity 
"Upon the Great Seal of the United States of America is inscribed his Pyramid, while the British National emblem is his symbol ---the lion couchant---Ariel---the Lion of God." (p.172)

Pyramid Texts:

"I never told lies to another man, for I know that God dwelt among men, and I recognized Him."

"God is the righteous Judge"

"The Things which God doeth cannot be known: verily a good son is the gift of God."

"Let not thy heart be puffed up because of thy riches, for it is God that hath given them unto thee"

(British Museum Catalogue, 1909, p. 133)

"Honour thy Father and mother, with the promise annexed, that thy days may be long in the land"

(Book of Beginnings, Massey, Vol. II, p. 107)

From the
Book of the Dead:

 "One only art thou, Thou Creator of beings, And Thou only makest all that is created.
He is one only alone without equal Dwelling alone in the holiest of holies.

God is the One, the One who has made all things. 
God is spirit, a hidden Spirit, the Spirit of Spirits. 
The Great Spirit of Egypt, the Divine Spirit.  God is from the beginning, and has existed when as yet there was nothing, and whatever is, He made it after His way. 
He is the Father of Beginnings. 
God is Eternal. 
He is everlasting, and without end, Perpetual, Eternal. 
He has endured for endless time, and will exist henceforward for ever.

God is hidden, an no one has perceived His form.  No one hath fathomed His likeness.  He is hidden in respect of gods and men, and is a mystery from His creatures.

God is Truth, He lives by Truth, He lives upon Truth, He is the King of Truth.

God is life and man lives by Him alone.  He blows the breath of life into their nostrils.

God is compassionate to those that fear Him, and hears those who cry unto Him.  He protects the weak against the strong. 

God knows who knows Him.  He rewards those who serve Him, and protects those who follow Him.

He causes growth to fulfill all desires,
He never wearies of it.
He maketh His might a buckler.
He is not graven in marble, As an image bearing a double crown.  He is not beheld.

He hath neither ministrants nor offerings;
He is not adored in sanctuaries;
His abode is not known.
No shrine is found with painted figures (of him) There is no building that can contain Him.

.   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .

Unknown is His name in heaven,
He does not manifest His forms.
Vain are all manifestations of Him"

(Book of the Dead, N. de G. Davies, p. 43)

My Commentary:

Since the time of Shem we have come to know the hidden God, mysterious in His ways, and have learned His Holy name YHVH.
