Writer and documentary filmmaker Ken Klein(1) shared his research into ancient Egypt and the Great Pyramid. The Pyramid was not built as a tomb for the pharaoh Khufu as is commonly thought, but was constructed at least 600 years earlier-- around 3,000 â€" 3,1000 BC, he stated. It was designed to withstand the Great Flood, with special organic material used in the mortar in the joints.
Thoth, the Egyptian god was imparted with supernatural abilities, and Klein believes that he was the same person as Enoch (from the Bible). Messages were stored in the pyramid to be retrieved by a future civilization, and "we are that civilization," Klein declared.
The Pyramid was built to memorialize a great event, said Klein-- humans are imprisoned on this planet, but our destiny is to travel into space, and to transcend into higher consciousness. He also discussed the Egyptian's mummification practices, and suggested they were performed in order to prevent people from reincarnating, so they could evolve in the next realm.
