I recently watched an episode of Ancient Aliens called Secrets of the Pyramids. It also asserted Stephen Mechler's claim that "Pyramidos" meant "fire in the middle". I spoke with my Dad about it this morning and he and I set to investigating how accurate that translation is and we came up with an interesting discovery. "Pyr" means fire in Greek, however "midos" is not actually the Greek word for "middle". The Greek word for "middle" is "mesos". We looked at the "am" before the declension of "-idos" and found that it is a shortened way of saying "ana" which means "upwards, above, on high, on the top, thereon". A more accurate translation of "pyramidos" could be "fire on top". Is it possible that ancient people who saw the pyramids noted how brightly the golden cap stone glowed in the sun, as if it were on fire, and they called the pyramids "fire tops"? If you have any questions about this translation you should check out my Dad's question and answer page on his website. He is an old testament and new testament scholar of Greek and Hebrew as well as a Church History Phd.

Hi.

I registered to address this question. It's not so much that this is one of my favorite pyramid topics (it is), but that Shant seems so close to the truth that a little nudge might do it. OK, a big nudge.

Simply stated the answer is a natural water source was used to lift the stones to build the pyramid. This water source contained calcium carbonate, siderite, quartz sand, hydrogen sulphide, copper sulfate, carbon dioxide, and a rather surprising form of an uncommon element. The calcium carbonate accreted where the water arose from the "abyss" to form what the ancients called the primeval mound or mound of creation and upon this mound the ben ben formed.

Several types of plants grew naturally in the area (most prevalent was salt cedar) and some were able to fix the unusual for of the element in its structure or its fruit. What wasunusual about the form was that it had originated as a compound (specifically a sulphate) in sandstone but over many millions of years the sulfur atoms were mechanically stripped from the compound. This element can not recombine naturally except at very high temperatures and pressures unattainable on the earth's surface. It is virtually inert in this state and appears to be silicon unless it is heated almost to plasma before a spectroscopic analysis. This element in this form looks something like semen when suspended in water.

The specific plant that is the tree of life is actually reasonably well known though much confusion surrounds the issue. It can be found in the "book of Enoch" and the Pyramid Texts. The amount of writing n this subject is actually quite extensive but it is often confounded by translation errors and confusion. The entire science of "alchemy" is a confusuon of ancient chemistry as it applies to these issues.

The ben ben included enough of this material in its constituent parts to create large volumes of the fruit for the tree of life which was also known as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil because it's long life that allows one to understand such things for himself.

The language became confused 4000 years ago. The last 4000 years of human history are driven largely by numerous misunderstandings and confusions of ancient science. This ancient science was founded on observation and logic and its metaphysics was language itself. When the language became too complex it failed and the science was lost. Only the ancient technology survived. It appears there may have been conscious efforts at some points in history to suppress knowledge of the tree of life. If so it would seem to imply that perhaps the exact same individuals employed this suppression over protracted periods.

It's improbable anyone would know how this worked till the watersource was discovered.
