pharaoh's glory
Chapter 5
The man said after wiped
his tears, "Then we shall go to the pyramids hall. let's go, please"
Margaret said,
"That is great. We will see the pyramids."
Charles said, "I will
climb it till the top"
Andrea said, "I will
try to see every room inside it"
Samy said, "Oh my
nation! I wish they will return their civilization. I feel with shame."
They moved in the front of
the big door. When they stood, they found the door was opened and they went in.
They were amazed.
They all entered the hall.
Then, a big white board is ascended and they saw men acted how they built the
pyramids.
Andrea said, "Uncle,
how did they build the pyramids? Did they use the cement or any substance to
tie between each stone?"
The man said, "First
let's know what the pyramid is?"
Samy said, "The pyramid is a
shape of square base and has a triangle in its four faces"
The man said, "That
is good and then! Why did we build them? I mean our grandfathers built these
pyramids?"
Margaret said,
"As they believed in a life after death. They built them to be their
graves and…"
The man interrupted her
saying, "Bravo, good!"
He asked "And
why?"
They didn't answer.
The man said,'' They
became believe in primordial mound from which the Egyptians believed the earth
was created. The shape of a pyramid is thought to be representative of the
descending rays of the sun, and most pyramids were faced with polished, highly
reflective white limestone, in order to give them a brilliant appearance when
viewed from a distance. Pyramids were often also named in ways these referred
to solar luminescence. For example, the formal name of the bent
pyramids at Dahshur. The Southern Shining Pyramid and that of
Senwosret at el-Lahun was Senwosret is Shining. The Egyptians
believed the dark area of the night sky around which the stars appear to
revolve was the physical gateway into the heavens. One of the narrow shafts
these extend from the main burial chamber through the entire body of the Great
Pyramid points directly towards the center of this part of the sky. This suggests
the pyramid may have been designed to serve as a means to magically launch the
deceased pharaoh's soul directly into the abode of the gods."
Charles said, "Uncle,
we don't know and understand what you say!"
The man laughed and said,
"As my son said," Now! The pyramids are the tombs for pharaoh."
Samy said, "Good,
bravo and then!"
The man said," The
pyramids is thought to be representative of descending rays of the sun. So most
their faces were polished."
Samy said,
"Good"
They said "o.k."
He continued, "They
believed also that the dark area of the night sky around which the stars appear
to revolve was the physical gateway into the heavens. So the main entrance of
the top of the pyramids faces this star. It sends its rays to the burial
chamber"
Samy said, "That is
for the king. I mean pharaoh!"
The man said,
"Yes!"
Samy said,
"This is unfair and the rest of the people!"
The man said, "When
pharaoh entered the heaven, he will take us with him but he will have a high
degree than us!"
Andrea said, "So,
they built it facing some particular star"
The man said, "Yes,
and we rebuilt it. The big pyramid was rebuilt for Kufu four times to
face the star accurately. It was changed quarter degree of the angle!"
They were astonished and
said, "Oooh! It changed quarter degree!"
He said, "And who
built it?"
Margaret said,
"The Jewish?"
The man amazed and said,
"Who is the jewwwwwishhhhh?"
Margaret said
"the people who believed ..."
Samy interrupted,
"The relatives of Josef"
The man said, "Good,
good. That is awful and a big lie. They became our salves after Josef had dead
and we made them as a servants and slaves of us. They didn't share us at our
wars or even building the important pyramids or tombs. They are only servants for
us. How can we make our slaves building the important buildings? How can they
share us at our wars and important buildings?
He continued, "If you
have a friend not a salve and he hates you from deeper heart. Do you imagine,
he will share you at your important things without put his bad thoughts at your
project to show you and others you are stupid and lazy?
We, at the first thought
we can use them to give us the things for building these important monuments
and tombs. We finally discovered that those tombs must be Egyptian from head to
tail. Understand?
So how can they share us?
How can we take the slave as the builder? And how can you as you an advanced
man hear to petty persons?"
Samy laughed and said,
"Yes and that they did with us. I mean America with Arab!"
The man said "I don't
know what you talk about!"
Andrea said, "They
mentioned the continent Atlantis' people helped you to build them!"
The man laughed. He said,
"No, no! That is a big lie"
Margaret said,
"They gave you or they put the, the, the …"
The man interrupted her,
"Yes the secret of their civilization. How was its begin and its end, why
it was destroyed and how the amount did the civilization have approached?"
Charles said, "So,
they helped you!"
The man said, "No, no
we built it by ourselves ..."
Andrea interrupted at
loud, "Even with help of some creatures of the sky"
The man amazed and said at
loud, " Who? and from sky or star. We actually reached to some stars, met
some other creatures of the sky and had a deal with them, but we don't
cooperate with them to build our pyramids. It is after that a big awful lie and
who said it, he must be punished by pharaoh!'
Samy said,
"But they said they put in it some of their civilization and secrets"
The man said, "Yes,
as a paper not as in building!"
Samy said,
"And why did they choose us? I mean you!''
The man said, "Oh!
Boy, as we are the advanced country in that world over the earth. We actually
built pyramids over some planets and in some outer civilization out of our
planet!"
Samy said with happy and
astonished face, "Actually!"
The man said,
"Yes!"
Andrea said, "But
how?"
The man said, "What,
what?"
Andrea said, "How did
you approach there?"
The man laughed loudly and
said "it iiiiiiiis a big secret, but I will tell you. We built an outer
shape for traveling in space"
They said at the same time
and voice, "What? At your time! You used it to travel to outer
space!"
The man said,
"Yes!"
Charles said, "It is
the big and awful lie!"
The man said, "No, it
is true and a big faith"
Margaret said,
"Then what do they look like?"
The man said, "The
shape, how can they move or stop? It is the big secret!'
Margaret said,
"They gave to you old Egyptian……"
The man interrupted her
and said, "What? We are the modern Egyptian, and it is the big secret,
believe or not that is your business"
Samy said, "If you
have like these, why don't you use it in traveling at least?"
The man said, "We had
a meeting with every king and governor of our earth and we had a deal! We
don't deal to use these methods even at wars, why? You will ask me why? And I
will answer to amuse our life to see our world as it is virgin. But if
we use them at the time, our age will run fast!"
He looked to Samy and
said," You are responsible for making these friends not to believe us. You
must make a big mistake. Are you lazy? Do you become talkers not workers? Do
you open your hands for a help? If you do, you will not be an Egyptian. You are
not sons of this good land”
Samy cried loudly. His
body was vibrated strongly. That made Andrea holds him and tried to stop his
crying. She looked to the man and said, "Try to say something to help him
stopping that crying"
The man
smiled and said, "Stop please!"
He wiped the boy's tears
by a hander kerchief. He holded him till the boy stopped crying.
The man said," The
crying will not return what you lost, but the work, only the work, will return
it."
The man said, "What
are the benefits of pyramids?"
They said "we do not
know"
The man said," I will
tell you!"
The man said, "Its
degree in winter and in summer is moderate"
Andrea said, "Yes it
is 24 degrees centigrade in summer or in winter"
The man said "the
pyramids is to keep the food for long time and any matter was feared to be
spoiled by put it in the two thirds of the pyramid higher and the same thing if
you want to return the sharp of the knife of the blade tool by put it in the
same level. The pyramids still have big secret for keeping our holy pharaoh to
meet his God safe and good."
Samy said, "That is
mean it is still have big secrets"
Andrea said, "But
uncle, we heard that Atlantis put their secret there!"
The man said, "I
heard from my grandfather's something as that and they want us to help them
when their land appeared again"
Charles said, "But
how did it disappear?"
The man said, "That
is not our matter now. That is mean we didn't study how does that big
civilization disappear. Now, can we go to the hall of Egypt's land. It shows
all the land of Egypt. Now let's move."
They had entered it with
great amazing and they opened their eyes. Samy opened his eyes and said,
"Oh! Uncle all green lands are planted and get crops."
The man said, "Yes of
course, we exported most crops as we planted them. The Rivers run at every span
here. The weather is good and the man has power and he is honest. Can't we be
the best?"
They all said,
"Yes!"
The man said, "We can
see the birds here. All birds can or even can't you imagine. Beside pharaoh and
his daughters and sons take some of birds as pet or holy birds."
Margaret said, "Dear
sir, there are many kind of birds"
The man said,
"Yes!"
Then, a strange man
appeared. He hurried and said, "We must hurry. There is an important thing
will be occurred. Now let's move, but without talk or speak"
Charles said, "But master who
told you?"
The man said there is a
message came from Memphis from north to move now!"
Samy said, "What is
the important thing?"
The man said, "I
don't know!"
Andrea said, "You
don't know or it is a secret"
The man said, "I
don't know!"
Charles said, "How
can we move?"
The man said, "By the
holy ships thorough the holy river the "Nile""
They got on the ships
which moved towards the north.
They saw the ancient
Egyptian men cultivate their lands and how the women helped their husbands at
their works by riding cows, by cultivating the lands and preparing the foods
which wanted to eat. They showed the cows, the sheep, and the camels.
The sun was ascending its
golden hair to Nile's river hanging it making the mean of deathless. They were
amazing with that shape. The night was ascending slowly, making the birds,
collected themselves and calling each other's. The sounds of birds were so
beautiful and the sun was disappeared as slowly as it felt with shame to go
away from this kind land. They thought they were at heaven.
They saw the wolf chasing
a sheep and the sheep was running with fear filling its heart and the farmer
saw him and calling the others who chased the wolf and trapped him. They hurt
it till it was dead. There was no shape of civilization. No cars, buses, no
electrical light, no TV or radio only ships or transports by animals. The Nile
waves were striking the ships in strong strike or in kind strikes. They were
amazed by hearing and seeing beauty shape of mercy and kind and violence at the
same time. They sang once, or telling a stories once until they reached the end
where they heard one calling, "Stop hear, there is a port!". The ship
stopped and the bridge of wood was put and they were crossed over it"
Margaret asked,
"Uncle, where are we?"
The man said, "At the
holy and good land near Memphis"
The big four horses were
stood and they rode them to Memphis.
The man told them that
they will stay here till the other parts come.
Andrea said, "Uncle,
who is this great people?"
Meanwhile the four
families were at the police station to ask for help to get their children.
The police officer said
"where were they at the last time?"
