I must admit, The Sphinx can send me headlong into relentless debate. In fact, the whole Giza plateau makes me crazy.

At parties, my friends know not to discuss hieroglyphs, pyramids or, in any way, ancient mysteries. My even closer friends will never mention biblical texts or the returning Annunaki. And my dearest friends, bless them, steer away from all things conspiratorial.

Sad, really; I do so enjoy a friendly quarrel, especially concerning old-world artifacts and mysterious temples. How did these things come to be? Who built them? And perhaps most importantly: when were they built?

If you believe – and I do not – that ancient people built the pyramids, then you accept the established theories of mainstream science. And, like Egyptian archeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass, you proudly maintain copper tools constructed an ancient marvel so ambitious and so precise that even today, with our most determined equipment, could not be duplicated.

As for me, I have questions.

Why was it necessary, when first discovered in the mid-1800s, to blast into the Great Pyramid? And, when finally inside the massive stone structure, why did modern archeologists assume thieves had arrived before them? Had fiendish grave robbers really entered the monument, pillaged it and then sealed it back up so tightly as to not leave a doorway, indentation or even the suggestion of a seam? Very clever grave robbers indeed: primitive but extremely clever.

Better still…why has no mummified body or sarcophagus ever been found in any Egyptian pyramid? Dr. Hawass would have us believe that these mammoth stone cathedrals were built as burial chambers for important people. If that were the case, who built the newly discovered sunken water chambers under the pyramids? Do important people need running water after they are dead?

If not elaborate cemeteries, complete with lush bathing chambers, built 3000 years ago by scantily clad villagers, then what are these things?

A recent theory, based on erosion patterns and on the supposed alignment of the Sphinx with the constellation Leo, places the construction date many centuries before the ancient Egyptian civilization.

The theory goes something like this: the great lion-like statue is gazing longingly at the horizon and, the only time the constellation Leo (a lion) sat ever-so-gently within the Sphinx’s view was in the year 10,500 BC. Therefore, it falls to reason; the Sphinx was built in 10,500 BC.

Okay…I’ve got more questions. First of all, as a student of astrology I know that the depiction of constellations as animals is a cultural invention.

Ancient Man, after eating his bowl of gruel and when sitting around the campfire, watched the heavens and told stories. By way of instruction, those first stories were punctuated with the stars as a kind of primitive learning. And, when later coupled with maritime navigation, fixed stars and constellations were slowly witnessed, cataloged and accepted.

Fair enough, right?

Well, these stories do not have a record much past 6000 BC and so, ultimately, the constellation of Leo did not yet exist as a ‘sky picture’ in the year 10,500 BC. So, as our friend the lion sat ever-so-gently on the horizon of the Giza plateau it was unlikely to be recognized as anything other than an interesting clump of stars. In fact, that far in the past very few, if any, of the 80 or so constellations had even been witnessed, let alone cataloged.

So what are we to make of these supposedly star-aligned pyramids?

What you may not know about me is that I am psychic and I am quite proficient at…well…remote viewing. There, I’ve said it; make of it what you will. I can remote view things.

And in my quieter moments when I have been brave enough to set my gaze on the strange and fascination Giza plateau, I have witnessed some pretty bizarre occurrences.

I believe the Great Pyramid of Egypt was built by one man. I don’t know where this man came from or if he was even human but I do know that he built the channeled floor and central shaft of the pyramid first and then constructed the rest, via the extremely rapid harmonic movement of stone blocks.

In my remotely viewed vision, the pyramid was constructed at a time when the Giza plateau was lush with grasses, vegetation and fauna and that nearby lived a tribe of very small, very well developed primitive people. The air was thick with moisture and, when completed, the pyramid shone with a brilliant white finish and crackled with electrical currents. It also had a long, covered causeway that filtered water through its massive base. The Sphinx did not yet exist.

Those are my answers.
