Well, i know quite well that the great civilization of Egypt was said to have begun with the unification of upper and lower Egypt by NAMER. His statue bears the physical attributes of a negroid heritage. On the other hand, It is impossible to rule out the Hebrews as part of the pyramid puzzle as no one could say for sure how the ancient Jews looked like. Napoleon's mission to Egypt and how he commanded his army to disfigure the face of the Sphinx for lookig too negroid is still a recent history.

Since the negroid-looking OLMEC busts were discovered in Mexico, the white conservative establishment have finally begun to accept the possibility that blacks might have been responsible for the construction of the pyramids and even exported the tech. to the Americas. And that they were actually great seafarers. The Atlantis hypothesis in Egyptian pyramids is weak.

The Atlantis theory feels a lot holes. how do we explain the fact that the pyramids were built from top to bottom lining up with different stars with pin point precision

I'm glad you brought the Negroid Olmec civilization to my knowledge. I did more research on it and was astonished at my discovery.

These Ibo boys, they are Jews, they are Egyptians.

Yeah! That's my town. I'm proud!! We are creative....

In 1935, G. I. Jones, an anthropoligist and colonial administrator took pictures of the Nsude pyramids, ancient Igbo pyramids, in Udi, Enugu state Nigeria with a Roloflex camera which he acquired and developed a system for immediate developing which produced negatives of such high quality that they continue to produce excellent prints six decades later. It was at this time that he built up the extraordinary photographic record of Southeastern Nigerian culture.

The pyramids, numbering 10 in number are circular and stepped and were made of clay.

Here are pictures of the pyramids:

The first base section was 60 ft. in circumference and 3 ft. in height. The next stack was 45 ft. in circumference. Circular stacks continued, till it reached the top. The structures were temples for the god Ala/Uto, who was believed to reside at the top. A stick was placed at the top to represent the god’s residence. The structures were laid in groups of five parallel to each other. Because it was built of clay/mud like the Deffufa of Nubia, time has taken its toll requiring periodic reconstruction.

Strikingly, these pyramids bear striking resemblance to the Step Pyramid of Saqqara, in Egypt constructed in 2648 BC and without a doubt, derive from the same cultural/religious/philosophical tradition that inspired this ancient Egyptian monument. Moreso, more striking is the similar replication of Nubian-like pyramids thousands of miles away from the Nubian area in the heart of Igboland, or vice versa, whichever comes first.




The Step Pyramids of Saqqara, Egypt.

Evidence like this indicates a strong level of correlation between the ancient egyptians and the ancient Igbo. The building of the pyramids may have been done at the same time the first or second wave of Egyptian pyramids were built by the Nubians.

The Nubian dynasty of Egypt (the 25th Dynasty of Egypt) saw the first widespread construction of pyramids (many in modern Sudan) since the Middle Kingdom.

Not because of this. Pyramids developed INDEPENDENTLY in MANY cultures that had little to do with each other (Egypt, West Africa, East Africa, Central America, Asia etc)

The last great pyramid
Mummification
People often associate Egypt with mummies. The dryness of the arid climate preserved bodies buried in shallow sandy pits, as in the image below.

Egyptians intentionally mummified their dead early in their history. The process was an expensive one and usually only rulers or nobility could afford it.

The steps involved took about 70 days and required the removal of all moisture from the body so that the dried form would not easily decay. Later, after all the organs were removed, the body was subjected to various treatments and wrapped in linen bandages up to hundreds of metres long.

A desiccated mummy
Like many pagan societies, the ancient Egyptians did not follow the true Creator God of the Bible. They believed that preserving their bodies as life-like as possible would somehow grant them eternal life.

Constructing their colossal monuments in stone was seen as building for eternity.
The last of the great pyramids of Egypt was built by Amenemhet III at Hawarra, 110 km (70 miles) south of modern Cairo. This Pharaoh could well have been the foster father of Moses.

His daughter, Sobekneferu, was the last ruler of this dynasty, and she had no son to succeed her. She might well have been the daughter of Pharaoh who “came down to wash herself at the river” (Exodus 2:5). This was not because she had no bathroom at the royal palace. Instead, she would most likely have been there praying to the Nile fertility god, Hapi, for a baby. When the basket containing the baby Moses came to her attention she may well have considered it an answer to her prayer.

But when Moses was 40 years of age, he showed his sympathy for the Israelite slaves by killing one of their oppressors. When this came to the attention of Pharaoh, Moses had to flee to the distant land of Midian. So when Sobekneferu died, the dynasty came to an end. Then 40 years after Moses fled, God said to Moses, “all the men are dead who sought your life” (Exodus 4:19). He returned to Egypt and confronted one of the pharaohs of the 13th dynasty, possibly Neferhotep I, whose mummy or burial place has never been found.

When we take the history and chronology of the Bible as written, we find that it makes eminent sense of the archaeological evidence. The pyramid builders were not people who had evolved from animals over millions of years. Rather, they were once part of an advanced civilization which built an imposing tower that soared over the plains of Babylon (Genesis 11), a people descended from a family that disembarked from the 15,000-ton ocean-going Ark (Genesis 6–. We still do not know exactly how they accomplished all their engineering feats in ancient Egypt, but we can be sure that a people who were less than 30 generations from Adam had incredible intellectual skills.

Introduction

For almost 5000 years, the pyramids have asked more questions than they have answered.

Many books have been written which have uncovered incredible facts concerning their construction and their astronomical qualities. We have learned that the Pyramids of Giza are aligned with certain star constellations. It has also been discovered that other similar structures in Mexico and Cambodia also have astronomical significance.

The Great Pyramid of Giza consists of circa 2.3 million stone blocks weighing around 2.5 tons each. Some of the blocks weigh up to 50 tons. Yet despite the vast amount of blocks used, and the incredible weights involved, the mathematical accuracy of the layout of the building is breathtaking. Other such puzzling buildings scattered around the world pose the same questions.

Who built them? How did they acquire such mathematical and astronomical knowledge? And what advanced technology did they use in the construction?

To simply say "The Egyptians built them," is not a satisfactory answer.

For if man began at the stone age, progressed to the bronze and then to the iron age, then we have the oldest pyramids popping up somewhere between the stone age and the bronze age. This is akin to saying that at some point in time past, man invented the wheel. Sometime later, another made a cart. But in between the wheel and the cart we find a brand new Mercedes!

This is a realistic comparison when considering the construction of the pyramids.

Despite all the recent books written about them, the pyramids remain a conundrum wrapped in an enigma and surrounded by a paradox. Yes, these authors have discovered and charted their astronomical significance. They have unearthed their geometric alignments and mathematical accuracies. And the conclusion they have reached is that some lost civilization or race of advanced people were responsible for these mammoth edifices.

But all these writers have one thing in common. They have failed to inform us as to who these people were and from whence they derived their knowledge and skills. When one or two of these esteemed authors do hazard a guess as to who these mystery architects and builders may have been, their speculations amount to little more than sand castles built on the tidal reach of eternity.

It is my contention that the evidence advanced in this volume will provide satisfactory answers to all these questions.

Buried in ancient Hebrew texts, undiscovered and largely ignored by scholars, lies a wealth of information about a mysterious cabal and little known race of people called the Nephilim.

In the first part of this volume, I have provided a detailed study of this unknown race showing,
Who they were
Where they came from
Where they acquired their mathematical and astronomical knowledge
How they possessed the strength to construct these huge buildings
Why they chose the pyramid shape
Why they align with celestial bodies
Where they went
In the second part of this book, I have shown how these same age old pyramids portend a future event.

Analyzing again the ancient texts, I will provide an examination of the prophecies of the Book of Revelation and of the signs we are told would precede these imminent happenings. In doing so we shall garner the necessary details and information whereby the reader will be able to audition the future.

Finally, having traveled back to an epoch dating to before our world began, and having journeyed forward to espy what lies ahead, this volume will culminate and climax in a phenomenon never before proposed or explored - The Pyramid of The Apocalypse.

You are now invited on a excursion through time and space that may change your perceptions on life forever.

CHAPTER 1
Time was

Many people are aware of the phenomenal engineering feats involved in the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. For those who are not I would like to give a brief and simple summary of some of these facts.

On the west of the river Nile, not too far from ancient Memphis and almost opposite present day Cairo, stands the last one of the seven wonders of the ancient world THE GREAT PYRAMID. This is the largest of all the pyramids and the first built. It embodies in its construction such a wealth of knowledge of mathematics and astronomy that indicate that it's builders possessed amazing wisdom.

The original pyramid was built of granite and limestone rock and had a smooth exterior finish of white limestone which would have made it impossible to surmount. Some legends say its capstone was made of gold. In its original form it must have been an awe inspiring sight. But the passage of time and the wear and tear of countless storms have stripped away its limestone exterior and left us with what we have today.

Now one can climb to the top, using the bricks as stairs, a feat which, in its initial form, would have been impossible. The esteemed architect and escatologiest, Clarence Larkin, made the following observations.
The base of the Great Pyramid covers about thirteen acres.

It consists of approximately 2.3 million blocks of stone weighing around 2.5 tons each, some weighing up to 50 tons. Some huge granite blocks, weighing 100 tons, are situated within the pyramid structure at a height of 46 meters. The base of the pyramid is a square with right angles accurate to within one-twentieth of a degree. The sides are equilateral triangles and face exactly to the true north, south, east and west of the earth.

Taking the Hebrew cubit to be 25.025 inches, the length of each side of the base is 365.2422 cubits, the exact number of days in the solar year (including the extra day for every 4 years).

The slope of the sides of the pyramid is of such an angle that they meet at the apex at the predetermined height of 232.52 cubits. If twice the length of a side at the base, be divided by the height of the pyramid we arrive at the figures 3.14159, which when multiplied by the diameter of a circle, gives its circumference.

The perimeter of the base of the pyramid (365.242 x 4 = 14609.68) is exactly equal to the circumference of a circle whose diameter is twice the height of the pyramid (232.52 x 2 x 3.1416 = 14609.68).

So here we have in these figures the solution to the problem of how to square a circle (See figure 1 below).

The angle of slope of the sides is 10 to 9. That is, for every 10 feet you ascend, you rise in altitude 9 feet. And if you multiply the altitude of the pyramid by 10 raised to the power of 9, you have 91,840,000, which in miles, is the exact distance of the sun from the earth!

The year of the stars is called the 'Sidereal' and the year of the seasons is called the 'Equinoctial'. They differ by about 50 seconds per year. In other words, the stars in their rising and setting are retarded by about 50 seconds each year. In order for the 'Sidereal' and the 'Equinoctial' years to come around and coincide again would take 25,827 years, which is called a 'cycle'. If we add together the diagonals of the pyramids base in inches, we arrive at 25,827, or as many inches as the cycle has years.

The Great Pyramid stands at the exact centre of the world. It is midway between the west coast of Mexico and the east coast of China. Between the north cape of Norway and the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.

It stands at the intersection of the 30th parallel, both latitude and longitude.
The Great Pyramid was the highest buildings in the world for thousands of years until modern man began building skyscrapers such as the World Trade Center.

If it were compared to a skyscraper, the Great Pyramid would be 42 storeys high. It contains enough stone to build a six foot high wall from New York to Los Angeles.

Researchers Alan and Sally Lansberg provide the following statistics regarding this incredible edifice:
"Somehow the builders knew that the world was round but flattened at the poles, which caused a degree of latitude to lengthen at the top and bottom of the planet; that it rotated in one day on an axis tilted 23.5° to the ecliptic, causing night and day, and that this tilt caused the seasons; that earth circled the sun once in a year of 365 and a fraction days.

The designers also must have known that earth's celestial north pole described a slow circle around the pole of the ecliptic, making the constellations appear to 'slip backward' (the precession of the equinoxes), and bring a new constellation of the Zodiac behind the sun at the equinox approximately every twenty two hundred years in a grand circle of about twenty-six thousand years.

These facts, too, were part of the internal measurements of the pyramid".
We are asked to believe that primitive man, dressed in animal skins and roaming wild, constructed the Great Pyramid with all that it entails, yet these same builders had not yet invented the simple wheel.

From an astronomical point of view, we have learned some extraordinary facts. There are four long narrow passage ways or shafts built into the Great Pyramid. Two on the north face and two on the south. The two on the north point to two distinct stars. One at Beta Ursa Minor and one at Alpha Draconis in the constellation of Draco.

The 'star shafts' on the south face point at Sirius and Zeta Orionis. In ancient Egyptian tradition, Sirius is associated with the goddess Isis.

And Zeta Orionis, which is the brightest star of three in Orions belt, is identified with Osiris, the high god of resurrection and rebirth in the remote epoch referred to as 'Zep Tepi' or 'First Time'. (See figure 2 below)

Similarly, ancient monuments in Mexico and at Angkor in Cambodia have celestial connections with Orion, Draco, Leo and Aquarius. Why these astronomical associations? Is it mere coincidence or calculated wisdom? More about this later...

At Nazca in Peru we find a huge combination of strange lines and drawings which only become discernable when viewed from an airplane.

These lines cover a large area of 60 kilometers square and could in no way be the work of mortal man. There are various sketches of the Nazca Monkey, Humming Bird, Whale, Spider, Dog and Condor, all etched into the rugged earth. Scores of perfectly geometric lines and designs populate the landscape.

Some of the lines resemble runways used for aircraft either landing or taking off.

The longest of these lines measures almost 15 miles (23 kilometers).
But what do they mean?
Where did they come from and who made them?
Again the scholars and experts arrive at the same conclusion. They don't know. Speculation reigns.

There is an ancient temple at Baalbek in Lebanon known as the temple of Jupiter. Incorporated in the foundations are three huge cut-stone blocks weighing 800 tons each. Not far away lies another gigantic stone block called the Stone of the South, weighing 1000 tons. This is the combined weight of three 747 Jumbo Jets. How did the builders cut such huge blocks and, more to the point, how did they move them into place?

Much has been chronicled regarding the building and astronomical parallels and mathematical qualities of the many monuments that populate the globe.

Fine and learned scholars have mapped and measured these buildings and charted their celestial counterparts with minute precision. Many books containing the finer details of their construction and stellar configuration populate bookshops everywhere. In the interest of simplicity I would refer the reader to consider these if further information is required.

What message are these edifices relaying to us? Is there something we can learn from them that has so far eluded us? If the cold walls of these dumb monoliths could speak, what priceless information would they impart? Do they portend coming events? I believe they do.

And we shall now endeavor to unveil the riddle of the pyramids by identifying their likely architects.




CHAPTER 2
The Matrix

Buried in the depths of the Pentateuch and other ancient Hebrew texts, lies a wealth of information that has long been, by and large, invisible to most scholars.

But how reliable are these age old writings? Can we learn anything new from them or is our first instinct to dismiss any likely discoveries as mere fable? Before delving into these hidden scripts, I would like to put forth some interesting vignettes which may have previously been unknown to the reader.

In his best selling book "The Bible Code", Michael Drosnin sets out his findings on a series of computer based scientific tests carried out by himself and some eminent Jewish mathematicians. It was well known of old by Jewish scribes, that there was a hidden code encrypted in the Hebrew lettering of the Pentateuch, which is the name for the first five books of the Old Testament.

These are written originally in Hebrew. If you take the first Hebrew letter in Genesis, skip 49 and take the next letter, and repeat the skip sequence, then every four letters spells Torh (the Hebrew word pronounced 'Torah', meaning 'The Law of God' ).

This holds all the way through the first two books of the Bible, Genesis and Exodus. When you get to the middle book of the five, Leviticus, it stops. However, when you do the same skip sequence for Deuteronomy and the Book of Numbers, it spells Hrot, which is Torh backwards.

Go back now to the middle book of the five, Leviticus, use the skip sequence again this time skipping every seven letters, and it spells YHWH (pronounced YAWEH). Which is the Hebrew name for God!

So we have every 49 letters in Genesis and Exodus spelling 'The Law of God' and pointing to Leviticus, and every 49 letters of Deuteronomy and Numbers spelling 'The Law of God' backwards and pointing to Leviticus.

Every seven letters in this book spells YAWH; God himself...
Genesis Leviticus Deuterony
Torh->Torh->Torh-> YAWH <-Hrot<-Hrot<-Hrot
Exodus Numbers
Because Hebrew lettering is mathematical as well as literal, these scholars were able to put the whole of the Pentateuch into a computer program.

Then they chose differing "skip" sequences and ran them through the program. The results they found astounded them. Encoded throughout the texts, they found messages concerning different aspects of life and history.

For instance, Drosnin himself whilst running through a particular test one day, found the name Yitzhak Rabin encoded in the text.

Written across this name was "Assassin That Will Assassinate". Perplexed and concerned by his findings, Drosnin then wrote to Yitzhak Rabin (who was then President of Israel), telling him of his findings. Rabin wrote back and informed Drosnin that he was a humanist, a fatalist and unconcerned with these findings.

ajadematanle:
What was the purpose of the pyramids.We understood groundnut pyramid of the old northern region which translated to foreign exchange earner.What benefit is of these mere architecture.I thought Igbo people were producing groundnut in the olden days but disappointed

Go back to the Op's post. The pyramid was an abode of a certain god. Groundnut cannot grow in the east,it can only be cultivated in an arid or semi- arid region(Northern Nigeria).
This is an architectural heritage. All plants cannot grow in one region so don't be disappointed biko.

Some time later, while in a railway station in Canada, Drosnin was speaking on the telephone to a friend.

His friend asked him if he had heard the latest news.
"What news?" Drosnin asked.

"Yitzhak Rabin has just been shot dead in Israel"!
With this, Drosnin dropped the phone and began to shake.

Before this, he had known intellectually in his head, that these codes were unique. But now he knew in his heart and his stomach, that these hidden codes were indeed for real.

Michael Drosnin and the Jewish mathematicians that pioneered these studies, have done thousands of these 'skip' sequence tests. They have found all manner of information concerning events that have already happened and some concerning the future. And the interesting thing is, there is no way they could have discovered these hidden codes without the use of computers. For the information is so vast, and the permutations so great, that in no way could it be deciphered without the use of our modem day computers.

After Yitzhak Rabin's assassin was arrested, Drosnin put his name into the program and ran it through the same sequence he had used before. To his astonishment, right above the place where he had found the original message concerning Yitzhak Rabin, his assassin's name was encoded in the Hebrew text.

This is just a small snippet from Michael Drosnin's book. His findings along with those of his Jewish colleagues have been tested and scrutinized by many agencies such as the CIA and the American army and none have been able to contradict or gainsay their conclusions.

This tells us that there is much we do not know and have yet to discover concerning these ancient texts that have been largely ignored for so long. Suppose you are asked to construct a genealogy of real people, but there are certain constraints.

The number of words in this genealogy must:
Be evenly divisible by seven (with no remainders)
The number of letters must be divisible by seven
The number of vowels and consonants must be divisible by seven
The number of words that begin with a vowel must be divisible by seven
The number of words that begin with a consonant must be divisible by seven
The number of words that occur more than once, must be divisible by seven
The number of words that occur in more than one form must be divisible by seven
The number of words that occur only in one form must be divisible by seven
The number of names in the genealogy must be divisible by seven
The number of male names must be divisible by seven
And the number of generations in the genealogy must be divisible by seven
Would it not be next to impossible to draw up such a genealogy?

Yet this describes exactly the genealogy of the Messiah as given in the gospel of Matthew 1 :2-17.

From an academic and literary point of view, the Bible stands head and shoulders above any other book ever written, yet it is largely ignored in academia. It has sold over eight billion copies in more than 2,000 languages. It was written by 40 different men over a period of 1,600 years yet it remains united in its content. It has survived 40 centuries of history. It has more ancient manuscripts to authenticate it than any other ten pieces of ancient literature put together.

In fact there are over 5,000 Greek manuscripts of the New Testament, the oldest dating to around 68AD. Compare this with only nine old copies of 'Caesar's Gallic War' and the oldest of these is 900 years after Caesar died.

Yet nobody questions these?

When copying was being carried out, the Hebrew scribes had enormous reverence for the text of the Bible. Copies were checked, double checked and re-checked many times. If a small mistake was made, the whole page would be re-written. When they came to the word 'Yaweh' meaning God, they would burn the pen and change their clothes.

Only photocopying is more accurate than the methods they followed to preserve the accuracy and integrity of the text. One would think that those who occupy the seats of higher learning would acknowledge the obvious literary merits of the Bible.

It was, after all:
The source of over 1200 quotations used by William Shakespeare in his works
The inspiration for literary giants such as Milton, C.S. Lewis, Sir Walter Scott and Charles Dickens
The Inspiration for Da Vinci's Last Supper, Michelangelo's Pieta and Handel's Messiah which he wrote in 21 days, the entire text coming from The Book of Isaiah
The motivation for the work of Mother Theresa, Abraham Lincoln, Isaac Newton and Martin Luther King
Yet despite its unequalled position as an academic document, the Bible is ignored and withheld from students of literary works.

It is sidelined and boycotted and scoffed at in favor of lesser works of men. You would think that even the humanist non-believer would pay tribute to the academic worth of this mighty tome, and the effect it has had on the history of civilization. But no, all are silent.

Let us now examine those same ancient texts and hear what they reveal concerning a mysterious race which the majority of people have never heard of: the Nephilim.




CHAPTER 3
The Nephilim

I would now beg the reader to indulge me somewhat.

For this study, I would ask that you put your mind in neutral.

That is, put aside for the present, your assumptions and prejudices concerning your opinion of the Old Testament scriptures. Allow, for the time being, that they may contain information that is useful and trustworthy and from which we can learn. Think of yourself as a juror awaiting the evidence. After all the facts are heard, you may then reach an informed verdict.

The year is 2348 BC., the year of the Noahtic deluge.

Genesis chapter six provides us with a startling revelation:
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; And they took them wives of all which they chose.

There were giants (Nephilim) in the earth in those days: and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which where of old, men of renown.
Genesis 6:1,2,4
We are informed that the 'sons of God' saw the daughters of men and took them as wives. Who are these 'sons of God' and from whence came they? Our first chore is to garner all information on these individuals and allow the material to define our conclusions.

The term 'sons of God' is used eight times in the Old Testament. Let us examine some of these.

The following is taken from a debate Yaweh (God) is having with Job:
"Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the cornerstone thereof? When the morning stars sang together, and ALL THE SONS OF GOD shouted for joy."
Job 38:4-7
In this discourse between Yaweh and Job, there is an obvious reference to the time of the creation of the world. In this context the "sons of God" refers to what we call angels which are created spirit beings.

This is always the case where the expression "sons of God" occurs in the Old Testament.
Who maketh his angels spirits. His ministers a flaming fire.
Psalm 104:4
This also holds true for the New Testament.
But to which of the Angels said he: "Sit on my right hand..." Are they not all ministering spirits.....
Hebrews 1 :13,14
In the book of Daniel, chapter 3, we are told of three men who were thrown into a blazing furnace by the king, Nebuchadnezzar, who then....
....Rose up in haste and said unto his counselors,
"Did we not cast three men into the midst of the fire?"
"Lo, I see four men walking in the midst of the fire and the form of the fourth is like a son of God."
Nebuchadnezzar goes on to say:
"Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who hath sent His angel and delivered his servents who trusted in him... "
Daniel 3: 24,25,28
It is clear from the above that the fourth being accompanying the three in the fire and referred to as a son of God, is in the following verse called an 'angel'.

In this next illustration from the Book of Job, we observe a distant gathering of celestial bodies.
Now there was a day when the sons of God (angels) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.
Job 1:6
In the Hebrew, the word 'malak' is translated angel. In the Greek it is aggelos.

But a truer rendering of both these Hebrew and Greek words is agent or messenger. The word angel occurs over 300 times in both the Old and New Testaments. In all these places the word agent or messenger would, in my opinion, be a better translation, as our minds have been muddied and distorted by the word angel.

For when this word is used we immediately conjure up an image of a naked infant cherubim with tiny wings and no Instruments floating around innocently with a little bow and arrow. Or of a huge glorious being with enormous wings protruding from somewhere between his shoulder blades and illuminated from behind by a huge spotlight!

Nothing could be further form the truth.

Later on in this study I shall present a more detailed evaluation of these messengers or agents. But lest we should stray from our present focus, suffice to say that these messengers always appear as men.

They eat and drink and are mistaken for ordinary human beings. Some are referred to by name and are also called 'men'. So they look like us. They eat and drink like us, they wear clothes and they speak like us. But enough for now.

Let us return to our original train of thought.

In Genesis 6:2 it says:
The sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all that they chose.
Again it becomes clear from this passage that there is a distinction between the "daughters of men" on the one hand, and the "sons of God" on the other. What this verse is implying is that these "sons of God", who were created spirit beings, had sex with ordinary human women, and produced children.

But these were no ordinary offspring.
There were giants (nephilim) in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Genesis 6:4
The Hebrew word for giants in the above verse is 'Nephilim' from the root word naphal meaning to fall.

So the progeny of this irruption by these spirit beings with human women are called giants or Nephilim meaning fallen ones. The fallen spirit men themselves are referred to as Nephilim also. For they fell from grace, fell from Heaven and fell to Earth.

In the course of this book, I shall examine why these spirit beings or messengers became "fallen". But in order to maintain concentration on this present riddle, we shall continue along our study of the Nephilim and their impact on society at the time.

You will notice from the passages quoted that we are told these irruptions happened on two occasions. ie.
"There were giants (Nephilim) in the earth in those days and also after that".
"In those days" refers to the days of Noah. The expression "and also after that" tells us that these Nephilim were also on the earth after the flood of Noah.

So these two irruptions of fallen spirit beings with women occurred both before the Flood and then again some time later. For reasons which will become clearer as we progress this thesis, I will firstly deal with the second irruption which occurred post the Flood. We are given much information about these giants as they inhabited earth in those days.

After examining the evidence concerning them, we shall return to the earlier incursions of the Nephilim before the deluge and how they left their mark on the ancient civilization at that time.

IRISH AUTHOR PATRICK HERON HAS SOLVED THE RIDDLE OF THE PYRAMIDS FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER IN HIS SENSATIONAL AND CONTROVERSIAL NEW BOOK!
Scores of books have been written in an attempt to unravel the mysteries of the Pyramids and to identify their builders. But all these books have one thing in common; they have failed to inform us as to who these builders were and from whence they derived their knowledge and skills.

Buried in ancient Hebrew texts, undiscovered and largely ignored by scholars, lies a wealth of information about a mysterious cabal of a little known race called the Nephilim.

In the first part of this volume, I have provided a detailed study of this unknown race showing:
who they were
where they came from
where they acquired their mathematical and astronomical knowledge
how they possessed the strength to construct these huge buildings
why they chose the pyramid shape
why they align with celestial bodies
where they went
In the second part of this book, I have shown how these same age old pyramids portend a future event.

Analyzing again the ancient texts, I will provide an examination of the prophecies of the Book of Revelation and of the signs we are told would precede these imminent happenings. In doing so we shall garner the necessary details and information whereby the reader will be able to audition the future.

Finally, having traveled back to an epoch dating to before our world began, and having journeyed forward to espy what lies ahead, this volume will culminate and climax in a phenomenon never before proposed or explored - The Pyramid of The Apocalypse.

Patrick Heron (B.Sc.Mgt.M.A., B.Sc.Th.,) is available for interview to promote his new book. He has extensive radio experience and his first book went into the best sellers in Ireland after one national radio interview.

Not because of this. Pyramids developed INDEPENDENTLY in MANY cultures that had little to do with each other (Egypt, West Africa, East Africa, Central America, Asia etc)

I think it's too early to dismiss a possible link between these pyramids. In the first place, the Igbo pyramids cannot look like the Eqyptian pyramids cos of different soil/weather conditions and utility purposes. Secondly,we tend to underestimate these ancient people. They embarked on extensive journeys for thousands of years,why would contact be impossible? Similary,most of these ancient structures from the Olmecs to Nubia,Igbo to China and Eqypt had negroid imprints,acknowledging this would mean that blacks had a far greater history/civilization. That's not what the Western world would like to hear. And even if the developed independently,they were still used for same purposes:religion,royalty and sacred stuffs,etc.

reminds me of one photo of a 'helicopter ' i saw recently with Made In Mbaise on the front. LOL #justpassingby

The Blackman is older than the universe
The blackman is the essense through which everything else in life is created or made.
He clothed himself in black, the ether of/or space. every colour one can imagine is present in black.
Through his blackness, he can create all things the mind can ever think of and things yet in imagination.
It is in the blackman's and blackwoman's characters that all plants, animals, trees, extinct or in existence, and all non-white people are made and created. all plants and animals are made from their original totems from which are other species and sub-species are created and/or made.
The blackman is the essense through which good and evil is made.
The blackman has no age, thus he is the first and the last, he has no beginning, none shall see his end.
The blackman is fearless. He can withstand pain, pain is a part of life, without it their is no life.
for new life to be ushered in, a old life must pass away if not, there will be congestion and overpopulation.
let the blackman not be deceived, we can never exceed 1 billion and 8 million black people on any given earth like planet. our population has been engineered by us since the beginning. 504 million blackmen, 504 million blackwomen. 1B8M is the black people sacred number.
The first 1B8M blackmen and blackwomen were the first who ever inhabited the first earth of this universe. A very perfect planet, at the perfect angle of 90 degrees; thus the planet is ever green and ever spring. This 1B8M are the originator and when they are in what is called "THE ONE GOD, THE ALL IN THE ALL, When They are in DIVINE UNITY".
The 1B8M choose from amongst them who to be the custodian of the divine unity. and it goes as follows:

[b]1B8M ARE DIVIDED INTO 12 TRIBES (WHY 12?, I HOPE SOMEBODY CAN EXPLAIN THAT) = 84 MILLION PEOPLE PER TRIBE.
EVERY TRIBE OF 84M CHOSE A LEADER AMONGST THEMSELVES BASED ON HIS EXPERIENCE WHICH IS EQUAL TO WISDOM.
A MAN OR A WOMAN. (according to africans/black people, a person comes in pairs, a positive and a negative), thus A MAN WILL BE WITH HIS HALF WHO IS A WOMAN, SOUL MATE! NB- 1B8M is the toatl number that can live on a earth size like this one without inconveniencing one another)
WE HAVE 2 LEADERS (A KING AND HIS QUEEN EQUAL IN STATUS) FOR A SINGLE TRIBE OF 84 MILLION.
2 LEADERS MULTIPLY BY THE 12 TRIBES= 24 LEADER WHICH ARE THE 24 ELDERS OF THE REVELATIONS (12 MEN, 12 WOMEN OR 12 MAJOR, 12 MINOR OR SUMERIA CALLED THEM ANUNNAKI, ISLAM THEY ARE THE EXALTED ASSEMBLY). The head of this 24 elders is who we call, ALLAH, GOD, JEHOVAH ETC.
12 TRIBES MEANS 12 MAJOR LANGUAGES from which all languages are derived from.

1B8M IS THE GOD THROUGH WHICH EVERY BLACKMAN AND BLACKWOMAN INCARNATED. So I am an incarnate from one of the 1B8M, So are every blackman and blackwoman in the universe. This person is called "THE ANCESTRAL FATHER OR MOTHER". Inshort, we are a sleeping GOD, sleeping lion of Judea as we are.

So do anybody think all this can take place with just 2 strands of DNA? In the ancient times, we had big trees, big animals, don't you think there were big people of an average height of 7.5ft? This were 12 DNA strand blackmen and blackwomen, they built the pyramids.
144,000 bodies are in the pyramids locked, only 144 people can open it
60,000 bodies are also in there (these were those that made the non-black race)

12 COUPLE ELDERS CHOSE 12 PEOPLE EACH AS HELPERS
THIS ARE THE 144 CHIEFS (72 MEN, 72 WOMEN); 144 CHIEFS TOOK 1000 HELPERS
WHICH ARE THE 144,000 JUDGES. (72,000 MEN, 72,000 WOMEN).

AH! I look forward to your paper in the Archaeological Journals! The link has been dismissed for many decades now (at least) for complete lack of credible evidence (vague resemblance is NOT evidence otherwise children's sand castles on a beach would also count) so if YOU are correct and the expert archaeologists are wrong then we would very much like to know.

What publication date do you have in mind?

How many papers on this subject have you published before? And in what peer reviewed journals?

Uchizzy:


oga sir

search for the origin of igbo people in Wikipedia
nd yhu will understand me.

Well please remember Wikipedia is usually useful but not always scientifically accepted!

However there are many pages on Igbo so please let me know which one you want me to look at and what you want to use it illustrate. I will take a look and revert back to you.

ROSSIKE:


Garbage. It's like saying that modern day skyscrapers, stadia, or motor cars emerged independently on every continent. Sheer common sense tells you that these things evolved from a specific modern cultural framework or reference point - the industrial revolution in Europe (1760-1840). How then can you say that structures as unique as pyramids were independently dreamt up by people across the globe? What makes you think there was no global cultural fountain and human interraction in ancient times from which the global practice of pyramid building came to be established? Do you think people did not travel around in those days? The oldest pyramids known to man are in Africa, so it makes perfect sense to say it was an African tradition and likely, a technological practice, of as yet unknown import, which was spread across the world in its day by migrating Africans.

Simply (Should I say OBVIOUSLY) because of the lack of communication in those days and the inability to cross oceans etc as readily as we do today!

By your argument building mud huts is also an African tradition and yet this developed independently also! (or tents?)

However if you are a world expert archaeologist and have or are about to publish a paper overturning world opinion on this I look forward to reading it!

Lol,why the aggressiveness?
You might choose to believe everything the Western scholars say or write. Why should we rely on their judgement,when we can make independent research?
I don't have to write papers to have an opinion or hypothesis as the case may be. Until Africans rise up and study our history,the Western world and so called experts will continue to take decisions for us. At the end of the day, just keep to your opinioin,there is nothing wrong in having an opinion or a simple dialogue!

Scholars work internationally with no regard to east west black white tribal nonsense. WHAT independent research have you done to overturn scholarly consensus. (Apart from crank theories on the net).

Do you even know what research is?

A Scholar will publish the evidence. Now what and where have you published?

Sorry to appear aggressive but it is mildly irritating to listen to uneducated amateurs argue against the world experts ESPECIALLY when we know your psychological motivation for doing so!

Who should I believe? World expert archaeologists who have visited these places and understand scientific research or some uneducated amateur drawing on crank theories from the internet?

Seriously which one?

This is too forward. It's very irritating to dialogue with someone who thinks he knows everything without listening to other's opinion! Yes,i have every right to form and have an opinion irrespective of your expertise nonesense! How many experts worked on the Uto pyramids? No one is fighting with you on this topic neither will you stop people from having an opinion.

oh yes they do. they make research only to the glorification of white people. and it turns out that, anywhere the caucasian go, or dig, the only thing he finds is black people and/or black civilization.
The only pyramids non-white built are those small pyramids in paris and las-vegas with no functions.

I don't know everything BUT I do know enough to listen to scholars who know what they are talking about in preference to someone who does not even understand that research is not looking on the net for a few vaguely similar pictures and constructing a crank idea to support his own psychological agenda.

You have every right to you opinion no matter how weird.

I have the right to disregard cranks and point out common sense. It is a public forum after all!

I repeat who do I listen to World Archaeological expert findings OR one crank theory based on nothing from someone who does not understand the field he is spouting about?

You are just going on and on about crank net theories! Who says i have to go to the net before i have an opinion? In the same vein,you don't have to pay attention to my opinion. It's certainly not for people that sallow everything that comes out of the mouth of his Western masters!

[quote author=Ihuomadinihu post=30883586][/quote]

The motivation is clear but sensitive to discuss. Lets just say that Black people have a wonderful history with many achievements of which they can and should be justly proud! They do NOT need (and indeed it detracts from them) to INVENT rubbish ideas/theories to bolster a history that is in NO WAY inferior to any other.

Western Masters. I don't think WORLD ARCHAEOLOGICAL opinion is western/eastern or anything like that racist rubbish at all.

You have an opinion which I am merely point out is wrong by the experts and lacks any evidence other than you would like it to be true.

Do you suffer from some inferiority complex? There is no real reason to feel so!

No one is inventing rubbish on this topic,you are the only one that is uncomfortable with a possible link here. Comparing two cultures or history does not in any way invoke inferiority complex.

There is really no point looking for ways to insult me for holding on to my opinion. Just hold onto your socalled expert views,it's not that serious. Can't you have a simple dialogue without being rash?

Dialogue yes but when people say something wrong it must be pointed out. Pyramid development was independent. To argue otherwise is to argue from ignorance so please don't blame me for pointing it out. Nor does calling world experts 'WESTERN MASTERS' edify any argument. It merely inform us of your mind-set and motivation.

Yes it is the possible link that is rubbish. This idea has been put forward long ago (primarily by Europeans) but discarded as invalid. Proper reading (in academic journals and textbooks rather than the net where anyone can publish anything) will be fruitful for you.

Sorry if you feel offended (I really am) but you must realise others read this and do not deserve to be led astray. Also if you attempt to argue against academic consensus when you know nothing about the field (other apparently from wild flights of fancy on the net by non academics) then you expose yourself!

In your words 'pyramid development were independent' ,nobody said these cultures were isolated and had no contact in pre history. Is that difficult to understand? Why hang on to every half truth from your experts.
Motivation? Yes,it's very sensitive for people like you.

Who says i must read from the net? Why do you choose to make things up. To hell with your expert opinions. I am smart enough to have mine independent of whatever they say! I already know the motivation behind squashing the possibility of a connection. It's very obvious. Go and find a pyramid in your region.
