Antediluvian Background

Ten Miles west of the modern city of Cairo at the end of an acacia, tamarind, and eucalyptus avenue stands a rocky plateau. A mile square, it dominates the luxuriant palm groves of the nile Valley from a height of 130 feet. On this man-leveled plateau, stands the Great Pyramid of Cheops.

Thirteen acres, or about seven midtown New York city blocks encompass the three pyramids on the Giza plateau. There, more than two and one half million inner limestone core blocks leveled and milled to 1/50 of an inch fit with immaculate precision rise some 480 feet to the unfinished cornerstone.

If all the stone work in churches chapels and cathedrals in England since the time of Christ were calculated, it still wouldn't equal the volume of stone that was used in the building of the Great Pyramid

Both the enormity and the astounding precision involved in the design and construction of the Great Pyramid astonishes modern engineers today. Not only was there the difficulty in assembling into place of the inner core blocks but the Great Pyramid was coated with a dazzling finish of white limestone casing blocks.

There is no recorded history of what the pyramid looked like after its completion: nor for over two millennium. In addition there are no wall paintings depicting this most prolific activity
