Ancient Egypt is a mysterious time in history, shrouded in the unknown and consciousness. From the construction of the pyramids to the unraveling of Tutankhamun, Egypt is layered with lost knowledge that we may never fully understand.
Despite the unknown elements of Ancient Egyptian history, archaeologists have tirelessly uncovered the details and managed to grasp some fascinating evidence about the Ancient Egyptian, their beliefs, and their everyday lives. However, some of these findings have been scrutinized heavily by both historical and scientific communities, with their benefits and their everyday relevance disputed.
In this article, we will delve into all of the discussion, speculation, and myths surrounding Ancient Egyptian history to unveil the most compelling and revelatory theories. From limitation to being influenced by an ancient alien race, here are some of the most bizarre ideas regarding Ancient Egypt.
The Sphinx Of Giza Is The Oldest Structure On Earth
This theory began when a researcher named Robert Schoch (remember this name for later) effectively proved that the Sphinx was over 12,000 years old, which goes against the original consensus it was less than 5,000 years old. He did this by analyzing the documented history of repairs and renovations to the Sphinx, while also studying a history of star maps that would have guided the Ancient Egyptians to build the Sphinx, while also standing as a history of star maps that would have guided the Ancient Egyptians to build the Sphinx. Additionally, Schoch emphasizes the documented history of repairs and renovations to the Sphinx.
However, this breakthrough theory (despite its rejection by the historical community) has started a snowball effect of theories about the age of the Sphinx, with some theorists and researchers saying the Sphinx could be as much as 800,000 years old. Of course, if this is true, it would completely reshape our understanding of the origin of humanity and how long we have existed as a race.
This idea of the Sphinx being 800,000 years old stems from two Ukrainian geologists allegedly finding evidence of coastal erosion on the Sphinx caused by water. But, Giza hasn’t been fully submerged in water for over 700,000 years, meaning the rocks must have been damaged by water from Earth’s last ice age.
Ancient Egyptians used sonic sounds waves to achieve levitation. In Ancient Egyptian times, theorists and avid proponents of consciousness theories suggested that sound could be used to achieve immense power when utilized correctly. Although there is no physical evidence to support this from Ancient Egyptian times, the suggestion from consciousness theorists is that Egyptians were able to use sonic sound waves to manipulate physical objects.
The science supporting this is extremely complicated but relates to the precise alignment of objects at the exact frequency, meaning they can effectively control the way the object behaves under the influence of gravity.
The knowledge of the various vibrations in the audio range demonstrated by Ancient Egyptians in the demonstration testifies to a scientist of physics that a vibration and concentrated sound field can nullify the power of gravity. Because of this, the Egyptians were able to apply to lift huge objects such as building blocks for the pyramids and place them precisely. It is also worth mentioning that author Bruce Cathie claimed to witness a similar technique demonstrated by Tibetan monks during his travels in his book ‘Acoustic Levitation of Stones: Monastery Construction.’
For years, a vocal legion of consciousness theorists believed that the Sphinx is guarding information in an underground hidden room that could govern human behavior for thousands of years. They expect it to contain records of earlier civilizations, which according to the theorists, existed over 13,000 years ago before a huge event essentially caused the human race to start again from scratch.
Way back in the 600s BC, the Greek philosopher Solon, even went into detail about a time he claims he entered the secret room underneath the Sphinx with a high priest of Ancient Egypt. This is supposedly where Solon learned of the story of Atlantis, an advanced civilization that he eventually passed down to his descendant, Plato. The last paw of the Sphinx is also hollow and some theorists believe that this paw is the entrance to the hidden room that lies beneath.
Proudly maintaining Robert Schoch returns to the fray once again here, as he unequivocally proclaims there is a man-made cavity underneath the Sphinx. During his last visit to the Sphinx in the 1990s, he and his team used sonic scanning devices to monitor the ground under it and showed that there is a rectangular cavity around 30-40 feet. However, as soon as Egyptian authorities discovered what they were doing, Schoch and his associates were thrown off the site and banned from continuing their work.
The Ancient Egyptians had an advanced knowledge of engineering that may have somehow possessed information inextricably linked to advanced technological intervention. Stemming from the idea of extraterrestrial intervention, this is one of the more controversial theories to appear on this list.
This archaeological theory comes from the discovery of hieroglyphics that appear to predict modern-looking boats as well as (most notably) helicopters and planes. Consciousness theorists use this as evidence to prove that the Ancient Egyptians were regularly visited and influenced heavily by an alien race known as the Annunaki. This utilization, like racecars allegedly visited the Ancient Egyptians and gifted them with phenomenal knowledge in science and mathematics.
However, the main defense against this theory from experts is the scarce mentioning of scientific archaeological evidence. If the Ancient Egyptians really did have advanced knowledge and sophisticated tools, then surely they would be expected to be excavated from an Ancient Egyptian tomb.
Aliens Built The Sphinx Or Gizа20th Century FoxHaving already discussed the possibilities of a secret room full of ancient records and the potential age of the Sphinx, we now look at rumors as to who built it. There are no markings, carvings, or evidence of an ancient element on the Sphinx, which is extremely rare for Ancient Egypt, as Pharaoh’s liked to carve their name in history with monuments and hieroglyphic stories. This means we can never be exactly sure who built it or even when.
Following historic star graphs and sky mapping, the Sphinx was found to be built to be aligned exactly in line with the Leo star constellation, which is rumored by conspiracy theorists to belong to the home of the reptilian alien race, the Annunaki. The positioning of the Sphinx was calculated perfectly through mathematics and astronomy, but some theorists state that the Egyptians must have been taught these skills by a superior race.
Mathematics is viewed as a universal language because no matter what you speak or where you’re from, the sum of an equation won’t change. This concept is broadened to the universe as a whole and theorists think that aliens could use mathematics to communicate with us if the ultimate ‘first contact’ is ever made. As a result, the Egyptians began advancing mathematics before their time as evidence of extraterrestrial contact.
