Well, let me break it down a bit. From the past we have learnt that dates, other than birthdays and anniversaries, can hold a significant amount of importance to many people in the world and not simply because something important happened on that date in the past but because of what the date is. 11-11-11 is one of those dates. 

Those who believe in the Mayan prophecies are pretty sure this day points towards a significant event in the future, say, like the supposed 2012 Doomsday. The U.S Naval Observatory has now listed the time of the winter solstice to be 11:11. This definitely has people planning their important events to take place before the 21st of December, 2012.

The more social people have left no time to waste and have created groups on social networks like facebook and twitter and created websites to further enlighten people like the one that tells people that checking their watches or clocks at exactly 11:11AM would bring them luck and love from the 1,111 guardian angels.

The more rational people have taken a rather useful approach to the date like getting married on this exact date so that the future wives would never have to remind their loving husbands the date of their anniversary. Expecting parents too are hoping and even planning on conceiving their babies on this date so as to give their birth day a special meaning.

Some strange news related to this date is the Kabbala event supposedly taking place at the largest pyramid of Giza (Khufu pyramid). Egyptian officials such as the head of antiquities, Mustafa Amin,  have told the media that the pyramid has been shut down for visitors till the day (11-11-11) passes due to “maintenance” but some sources of mine that i met through the vast social media have told me that there are a few odd things happening like the strange noises coming from the great pyramid after night of the 10th. They also have reported seeing a pentagon being drawn on the sand around the entrance of the pyramid. If all this is true then we sure need to worry about the hold this Kabbala group has on the officials of the antiquities in Egypt and the hold they might have on many other countries in the world as they are thought to have.

A website of the Universal Kabbala further mystified their pracitices and the importance of this date to them by sending out an open invitation to their people. Here is a link: http://www.universalkabbalah.net/Egypt1111

Great Pyramid of Giza
Hanging Gardens of Babylon
Statue of Zeus at Olympia
Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus
Colossus of Rhodes
Lighthouse of Alexandria

The list known today was created in the Middle Ages by which time many of the wonders were no longer in existence. Today, the only ancient world wonder that still exists is the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Great Pyramid of Giza -

Built 2560 BC, it is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis.

Initially at 146.5 metres (480.6 ft), the Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years.

Hanging Gardens of Babylon -

The gardens were supposedly built by the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II around 600 BC. He is reported to have constructed the gardens to please his homesick wife, Amytis of Media, who longed for the trees and fragrant plants of her homeland. The gardens were destroyed by several earthquakes after the 2nd century BC.

Statue of Zeus at Olympia -

The Statue of Zeus at Olympia was made by the Greek sculptor Phidias, 432 BC on the site where it was erected in the Temple of Zeus, Olympia, Greece.

Temple of Artemis at Ephesus -

Was a Greek temple dedicated to a goddess.

It was situated at Ephesus and was completely rebuilt three times before its eventual destruction in 401.

Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus -

Mausoleum at Halicarnassus or Tomb of Mausolus was a tomb built between 353 and 350 BC. For Mausolus, a satrap in the Persian Empire, and Artemisia II of Caria, his wife and sister.

Colossus of Rhodes -

The Colossus of Rhodes was a statue of the Greek Titan Helios, erected in the city of Rhodes on the Greek island of Rhodes by Chares of Lindos between 292 and 280 BC. It was constructed to celebrate Rhodes victory over the ruler of Cyprus, Antigonus I Monophthalmus, who unsuccessfully besieged Rhodes in 305 BC. Before its destruction, the Colossus of Rhodes stood over 30 meters (107 ft) high, making it one of the tallest statues of the ancient world.

Lighthouse of Alexandria -

The Lighthouse of Alexandria, also known as the Pharos of Alexandria, was a tower built between 280 and 247 BC on the island of Pharos at Alexandria, Egypt. Its purpose was to guide sailors into the harbour at night time. With a height variously estimated at somewhere in-between 393 and 450 ft (120 and 140 m), it was for many centuries among the tallest man made structures on Earth.

Khufu

The Pharaoh was commonly known as Cheops. He ruled in the 4th dynasty (2551-2528 B.C) He was the second Pharaoh of this period and he ruled for 23 years. According to archaeologists, not much is known about Khufu’s personal life or his accomplishments. Many assume that this period was a highly structured society and that he must have gained great wealth. His most known and famous construction was the Great Pyramid of Giza. The Pyramid is about 481 feet tall. 

The pyramid has so much fame, more famous than the builder, Khufu. Although he was the one who organized the construction, not much is known about the Pharaoh due to the fact that his remains have never been found. There was only an empty sarcophagus in the center of the King’s Chamber located inside the pyramid. And a very small statue of 9 cm of Khufu has been found. This statue was not found in Giza or near the pyramid, it was found to the south at the Temple of Osiris at Abydos. Many believed that his tomb was robbed.

Many archaeologists believe that Khufu led military into the Sinai, Nubia and Libya. Khufu was believed by some to have been a ruthless and cruel Pharaoh. He commanded a tremendous ability to organized and mobilized workers to build the Great Pyramid. Khufu was the son of a pyramid builder, King Sneferu. He probably learned a lot from his father. 

There are many theories surrounding the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The lamest theory, suggested by many, suggests that aliens built the pyramid. The second theory, experts suggest that slaves were forced to work daily until the task was finished. The other theory, however, suggests the pyramid was built by thousands of skilled workers who camped near the pyramids everyday and worked for a salary.

The correspondent of “AIF” has tried to unveil the mysteries of ancient Egypt, and made an unexpected observation.

For example, the pyramid of Cheops – the rock obstroennaya plates inside the lake, where on the island and is a true mummy of the legendary Cheops. Boat on which he sailed away to the underworld, the Giants have built, they also erected a pyramid, but not 4.5 thousand years ago, and 8-10, ie, before the flood. A female pharaoh Queen Hatshepsut was in his “fleet” time machine, which traveled into the future (see the publication, “Did the ancient Egypt time machine?”, As well as materials in the subject of the article). This hypothesis is confirmed by scientists.

Decryption is not far off
This photo shows the valley of the pyramids from space, it was possible to discern the contours of second Sphinx, located symmetrically in relation to the famous figure of a lion with a human head. Egyptian archaeologist Bassam al-Sham Rudvan believes that hidden under a layer of sand second Sphynx – female, he collapsed in the old days. If excavations confirm the assumption of the scientist, our understanding of the complex of the great pyramids can change dramatically. The second sphinx also proves that its creators could not have been the ancient Egyptians.

Christopher Dunn, an engineer, a specialist in instrumentation for many years worked at NASA, and investigated manufacturing technology installed in the Great Pyramid sarcophagus. By remaining on the inner surface trail Dunn concluded that the tubular drill was used at a rate of penetration 1 / 10 inch (quarter inch) per second. Even the best modern drills can be held in Granite (a sarcophagus made it out of this hard stone) at a rate 10 times smaller. To use such advanced technology, the pyramid builders, according to Dunn, used drilling using ultrasound: vibration shattered granite, simplifying the driving of the drill. But the primitive civilization of pyramid builders, according to official historians, could not have such tools. Further research by Christopher Dunn stones of Ancient Egypt reinforced its opinion that the builders of the past owned high-technology materials processing.

Candidate of Technical Sciences, Dmitry Pavlov, examining patterns of non-linear geometry, shows that the pyramid – the key geometric image, simulating the universe. Therefore, the great pyramids of Egypt – a coded message to descendants. Deciphering the meaning of the pyramids and comprehension of the laws of nonlinear geometry – two sides of the return to the lost knowledge of cosmic civilization of the past. So far, that the official date of construction seem to be a falsification.

Savages do not know how
American researcher, John Anthony West first drew attention to the vertical groove on the side of the sphinx. Attracted them to research geologist Robert Schoch, affirmed that the gutters could only appear as a result of torrential rains, washing the body for years sphinx. But over the past 8-9 thousand years in Egypt was not as heavy rains. It turns out that the age of the Sphinx – not 4.5 thousand years, has taught us classical Egyptology, and at least twice. But this means a complete revolution in historical scholarship: we used to think that in ancient times lived as semi-wild men, not knowing the other instruments, except for stone axes.

Belgian architect Robert Bauval found that the proportions of the three great pyramids of Giza in the valley and the ratio of their masses correspond exactly to the parameters of the three big stars in the constellation Orion, and flowing at the foot of the Pyramids Nile displays the Milky Way. Relevance of celestial objects and their terrestrial counterparts was an ideal 12 500 years ago, when, according to Bauval and pyramids were built. If so, the Sphinx was built, apparently, at the same time, looked at the rising of the vernal equinox the sun is in the constellation Leo. That is why the body of the Sphinx is a lion. Hypothesis Bauval forcing another look at the history and correct dating of key events in history.

In search of traces of the mysterious civilization, our correspondent went to Mexico and Central America and found compelling evidence of its existence.

Pyramid of Cheops or also known as the Great Pyramid at Giza.  You can call these monuments as one of the Seven Wonders of the World.  Pyramid is the oldest and the three found in Egypt.  According to Egyptologist, believes that the pyramid was built over the grave of the dynasty of four Egyptians.  To perform this construction took about 14-20 years, which was built in 2560 BC.  This is an impressive monument and a landmark for Egypt, where millions of people come to see this spectacular site.  Believe it or not, the fact that this pyramid is a structure that is male and measured at a height of 480.6 meters.  This is the tallest structure made by man, which is recognized as one of the wonders, even in the world.  Pyramid of Khufu is the oldest monument in the world that was built three years ago in 1800.

Basically, this pyramid was closed down by the stones on the outside forming a smooth surface.  Even today, if you visit you can see the original structure is not destroyed.  To build this one of the Seven Wonders of the World has taken millions of rock known as limestone material.  Many Egyptians were used as workers for the construction of this site.  They were forced to lift, move and drag the huge stones in place to be.  In this pyramid, there are three well-known cameras.  The lower house is registered in a layer of solid stone pyramid was built.  For kings and queens of the two cameras were placed on top of the pyramid.

When you see the pyramid can be noticed that the passages are made in ascending and descending, which is found only in the Great Pyramid of Giza.  The most important part of Giza are the two mortuary temples in honor of Khufu.  Between the two temples, one near the pyramid, the other near the Nile.  In this area there are three small pyramids that were made in honor of the wives of Cheops.  These small pyramids were known as “Satellite”.  In addition to the two temples, there is a small pit that surrounds the pyramid is called a mastaba.  For the construction of this site baeutfil found among the Seven Wonders of the World, used the stone facing sloping roof, flat on top of white limestone and refined.  The stones were so heavy box that was not easy to lift one person, but that’s about 193 centimeters.

A group of archaeologists led by head of the Supreme Council for Antiquities Zahi Hawass of Egypt discovered in the necropolis near Cairo Sakkarskogo fragment of the famous avenue of sphinxes.

Has also been found yet another foundation of the pyramid – the so-called “pyramid number 29,” the statement said the Council received by RIA Novosti.

All in Egypt was erected about 100 pyramids. The exact number is still the subject of debate among Egyptologists.

According to Hawass, discovered references to the eastern part of the famous avenue of sphinxes, better known under the name Anubeuma found in ancient Greek texts, as well as in the documents found by famous French archaeologist Auguste Mariette 19th century, excavated the western part of the avenue of sphinxes and the Temple of the Serapeum.

The avenue of sphinxes that begins in the temple complex of the god Anubis and death linked him to Serapeum, where the Greco-Roman period was the temple of Serapis, and where in the underground gallery of huge granite sarcophagi were buried the mummified body of sacred bulls of Apis.

Anubis temple complex, according to archaeologists, was to receive the funeral procession of Apis, who met the priest, wearing a mask of Anubis, the god of death. Then, presumably, the procession moved along the road towards Anubeum Serapeum temple complex where the body is a sacred animal was eternal rest in the underground gallery.

In addition to the avenue of sphinxes, Egyptian archaeologists have discovered at Saqqara pyramid as the foundation number 29, the exact location of which until now was unknown.

Information about this pyramid were discovered in the 19th century German Egyptologist Richard Lepsius, who gave her number and determined its approximate location – a huge complex, poorly-preserved pyramids pharaoh Teti VI dynasty (2325 – 2295 years BC). Egyptologists have long been able to determine what Pharaoh dynasty belongs to this tomb.

During recent excavations, archaeologists have discovered the entrance to the tomb, identified the location of all of its walls, as well as the location of the burial room and shelter. According to Hawass, the pyramid are likely to Pharaoh’s dynasty Menkauhoru V (2396 – 2388 years BC).

The era of the pyramids in ancient Egypt began in the reign of Pharaoh III dynasty (2635 – 2561 years BC), when the tombs of monarchs became the embodiment of divine pharaohs, a continuation of his earthly life in heaven.

In this sense, the first pyramid can be considered as the famous step pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara. Over time, the art of pyramid building was improved and reached a peak in the era of the Pharaohs IV Dynasty (2561 – 2450 years BC), when they were erected by the great pyramids of Giza, extant, among which is one of the “Wonders of the World” – the pyramid of Cheops.

• These huge stone structures in Egypt are called Pyramids. Famous kings of Egypt were buried inside then in a secret room after they died.

Each pyramid took at least 20 years to build!

The great Pyramid at Giza (Egypt) was built between 2551 and 2472 BC. This once 147 meters tall but is now 140 meters.

The great Pyramid at Giza was made of 2.3 million tones of limestone. Each block of limestone was 2.5 tones!

• These are the remains of the Colosseum. It is over 2000 years old! It was a stadium where people come to see fighters called gladiators. It is situated in the city of Rome. Rome is the capitol of which country? – Italy.

Take Cheopso disassembly was already in early 2001. Then, during which 16 years to dismantle the pyramid, all numbered and put back. So what can be found in the pyramids? Egyptologist Sergei Silajeva read the pyramids, and more – what is inside them could be used for moves in space, or interstellar communications. What and how there is – it is not clear. American Menersas Raimond is convinced that the Great Pyramid had sagged and the edges were covered with a mirror finish. Every year the pyramid fiery enclosures, and over the top of the pillar of light appeared. Raimond Menersas – an engineer, not a historian. But his description of events supposedly necessary stars transportation. Incidentally, the 60th pharaonic Egypt as the ruling and found (or rather, their mummies). Indian rulers in the Americas, too, by the way, it was somewhere on leave. And also help the pyramids …

And a number of serious scientists believe that there can be hidden inside the pyramid many wonderful things. Only this is what is this thing? In one Egyptian temple dedicated to the goddess Hathor, there are interesting paintings on the walls. Then represented by priests, in line with the enormous power in the hands of the bulbs. Those things went down in history “title.

Image via Wikipedia

The fact that the Egyptians used the electricity, the researchers talked a long time, but somehow not quite serious. And lo, this topic is left up to the surface again, because the paintings on the walls very thin and are free from any sign of soot. Like drawing them, the premises were not lit a fire, but “Ramesses lights. Moreover, Egypt has been found during excavations dish with some metal residue inside plokčių. Not so long ago raised the version that is – man-made sources of electrical power components, it is easier to say – batteries, rechargeable batteries. Some people think that this is evidence of Egyptian contact with the aliens, while others believe that the Egyptians themselves were much more developed than we are now, they are portrayed.

And yet – what are the arguments for dismantling? Is it possible to find something beneath the pyramid? TO BE from the fact that scientists have a very vaguely imagines Cheopso internal structure. We are well-known facilities, galleries, and there is still way low. However, the Egyptologist suspect stone colossus that lies in a number of widely branched labyrinth. They can lead us back to the premises known not only within the pyramid, but deep beneath it. The witness and the ventilation holes, which lead who knows where and who knows what ventiliuoja. Renowned archaeologist John Kinamanas before his death in 1961 told of an exciting adventure in which he endured at a young age. His words, in 1924 he was visited by a previously unknown pyramid in the tunnel. Input is completely random with Egyptologist discovered Flindersu Sir Peter. The scientists say that the tunnel after he got into the room full of unknown purpose machinery. Kinamanas one of them described as “anti-g machine.

There are other similar cases. In 1945 the Prince of Egypt Faruk šlaistėsi around the pyramids. He accidentally clicked on some sort of card-based Sphinx. Suddenly, a hidden mechanism was activated and opened the entrance to the tunnel that led down into the large room. There, as Prince says, standing in robots. Great Pyramid of Giza vidujeMatė it real or išsigalvojo them? Faruk, and thus did not show the entrance. Supposedly gone inside at night and  back the next time has not managed to find a hole. Therefore, despite the significant name in his speeches in scientific circles is viewed with skepticism. And yet, as far as to suggest Labyrinth really have not been demonstrated to exist in the depths of the pyramids. 10th again in the early scientists tried to find unknown tunnels. German engineer Rudolf Hantenbrinkas let A small robot into one of the vents pyramid. The robot, named Apuautu (old Egyptian – discoverer) had cameras. Pasisukinėjęs the ventilation shafts on the distance of 60 meters, he found himself in a tunnel, covered with polished panels and then įsirėmė into the wall. Camera showed that the wall is a door with two massive yellow metal handles. It seems that the doors had to open up. They like something has been opened: along the floor you could see a small hole. But what lies behind those doors? So far, no one can say that.

Image via Wikipedia
Japanese researchers decided to investigate the pyramid wave aid. Their instruments came across at least three known sites. Up next was able to drill a hole and then lower the camera. And what then? Hall appeared on the screen that size – 30×5x3 meters, it was partly sand siltation. The sand protruding from some kind of unknown metal construction. Detailed inspection of their failed due to poor lighting. American geophysicists Thomas Joseph Dobek and millet spy recently that the Sphinx is actually several rooms. It has been found, and entrance. But it is flooded and not so easy to reach, when he who discovered Prince Faruk half a century ago. As evidenced by the Americans toward a narrow canal leads Sphinx, located 30 m deep well. It is a veil of massive plate. It may be that the premises are connected to the Sphinx with the pyramid located in galleries and halls.
Orion
However, the biggest hothead among the researchers are convinced that the pyramid – it is nothing more than an alien secret cosmodrome. Eg., An American Egyptologist, and Robert Graham Henkokas Bovelas claims that the pyramids were built 10,500 years BC. Cr. I.e. Eight thousand years before the adoption of believing. With these fantastic claims agreement, some Japanese and Russian researchers, who found the approvals of the old texts. Special computer programs, aid they received information that the pyramid stands out as the stars are located in Orion’s 10,500 years before Christ. And then comes that they are not built by Egyptians, and aliens. They flew in from Syria, which is precisely the constellation of Orion. By building the pyramids, aliens led by residents of the Earth builders. They do, probably, and taught the Egyptians to worship in Syria. Not in vain the Egyptian new year begins with the appearance of heaven BRIGHT Syria. Thus, it is alien secrets and hidden depths of the pyramids. Irba the pyramids.

And another interesting fact. Few know that the Great Pyramid of Giza spin. Phenomenon, the mechanism is unknown, but the device records at the time of incident sound. It consists of four notes, forming fa maggiore Diez chords, inaudible to the human ear.

First stop: Giza . The world’s oldest structures, the three great pyramids of Cheops, Khefren and Mykerinos, you throw in time apoape 4,000 years ago. Great Pyramid, that of Cheops, one of the 7 Wonders of the World, hide themselves in the middle of the pharaoh’s burial chamber. The pyramid has a height equivalent to that of a 50-storey building, forming the basis of an almost perfect square, with sides aligned with the four cardinal points of the compass. 

A strange creature nemiscatoare with lion body and human head, the Sphinx, guarding the three “Giant.” Lost on the Giza Plateau, the world seems so big and I (even in an imaginary journey) I feel so small I feel like a dwarf that desperately running from a pyramid to another, who fears lest Sphinx to breathe and you do get lost among the grains of sand. 

With small steps, just like a pititc, I’m going to the second destination, Cairo . Called the city of a thousand minarets due to the large number of mosques, houses the capital of Egypt in the Egyptian Antiquities Museum, among many other treasures from Tutankhamun’s tomb and the body of a child king Tutankhamen. 

A strange landmark is the world’s most visited cemetery, known as City of the Dead. Cemetery is not only shrine of the dead, but of the living, as hundreds of Egyptians homeless find their home in the tombs of the cemetery.Who would have imagined it could ever say about a cemetery that is populated, without using quotation marks? 

Another tourist attraction is represented by the Egyptian temples, the grandest and most impressive is the Temple of Abu Simbel built by Ramses II. The largest religious monument in the world, called ipet-isut (especially the best place on earth), is the temple of Karnak, built to serve the Sun King Amun-Ra. 

City of Alexandria is another mini-treasure of Egypt, one of the largest ports of the ancient world and the place that housed one of the 7 Wonders of the World, the ancient lighthouse. 

Besides the splendid attractions of Ancient Egypt, Misr (Egypt’s official Arabic name) hides and modern tourism destinations. Red Sea diving locations have also been recently voted as the best places in the world for scuba diving. The diversity of water sports in the country is a land of pharaohs dream vacations. With a well-armed pocket, as for a journey into a land of possibilities, you can jump with skydiving, you can water ski, jet-skiing, windsurfing, surfboarding, you can compete with friends, kayaking or you can swim among wild dolphins. 

A country of contrasts, where past time struggling with this, but in which, paradoxically, time seems to stand in loc.Cu every step you through the sands of Egypt do you deepen more in the history of the pharaohs and do not take much to quicksand when you include everything, because you’re a small little soul in those 4000 years that pyramids wind enveloped in mystery.
