geometrics, and my theory of the incorporation of the obelisk and pryamid

First off.... It's late right now, and I'm pretty tired. I'm having a hard time writing, so I'll have to edit typos and run on sentences later on. So, if you read this and it's hard to understand, I probably haven't edited it yet. So...


Fun With Geometry


I was sitting here playing around with a ruler, making geometric sketches of cubes. By using the center points, you can create all sorts interesting shapes which float at the center of the cube. I thought to make as many geometric shapes as possible using the confines of a 3d cube. After making a series of these, which were simple shapes to create, like a sphere which sits inside the cube touching the center of each of it's 6 sides. (one that sort of came back to me, as I remember making it back in art school. A Major in Interior Design requires alot of drafting, and technique, like learning the correct ways to use t-squares with angled rulers, etc. which isn't hard to do at all, but after hours of using these tools you go into a sort of mantra, where as these geometric tools almost take a second nature, becoming as important as the paper you are drawing on, or pencil you are using.

One of the shapes which I didn't complete, though I saw the possibility in it's creation if I'd had the patience to sit and figure out; a sort of spherical hypercube, which I thought might be more easily done if I'd gone to google it and recreate it by observation - but that wouldn't have been part of the little game I was making up. I wanted to realize the process myself. But right now, I'll go ahead and dig it up. The hypercube might have looked something like this (though not as elaborate, I'd think that once you understood it's basic mapping, and which points and lines to make, you'd repeat the points from the center of the cube, on outward. Or, possibly from the two outer most squares, which make an octagon.)

If anything it sure is a fun object to stare at... different base forms pop up as a possible root to the plan... (not sure if I'm using the correct terminology) Additionally, it seems that almost every possible angle within the cubic form can be seen, there are octagonal forms, pentagonals, and ... all the other 'gonals. :) There are probably tons of other hypercubes out there that are much more elaborate than this. I think the more intricate they get, the more spherical they become. And going into the more advanced spherical hypercubes, brings us back again to the simple sphere and cube. It's probably why the sphere fits so perfectly into the cube, as long as they are of the same dimensions.


The Pyramids And Obelisk


I took a break from sketching for a second while still having the simple 3d cube in my mind. I thought about a flat 2d square, if when crossed at its diagonal sides finds it's center. With that center point in mind, if you were to take to point and pull it straight up and out into 3d, you'd have a pyramid. Then I thought that if you then pull the base of the pyramid out making a long rectangle, you get an obelisk. This brought to mind, which is quite obvious now that I'm writing it - that the obelisk is made of the same geometry as the pyramid. I guess this is really obvious.


But then I realized something. How were the pyramids built? I know it's just one of those questions, and it's stupid to even begin trying to understand. But really, wouldn't you need the center point of that base square as a starting reference? It would be absolutely necessary in order to create a perfect pyramid to have that center point. The center point should feature a pointed top, and four sides of a perfect square. You'd lay the obelisk into the ground deep enough for it to stand, (or on a platform, or which ever way is best) and then start at that center working around the base of the obelisk and building upward, basically starting out with a small pyramid (which would have a giant obelisk sticking out of it's top) and as you build it up the pyramid would grow larger and larger until you have the finished design touching the edge of the four sided edge and then coming to the point.


Now... I've heard many times that the Egyptian obelisk was a phallic symbol of the god Osiris. His body was cut into 13 different pieces and thrown into the Nile, (or scattered across the desert, I don't remember) and the Goddess Isis salvaged all of the parts of him, except the 13th which happened to be his severed phallus. So the obelisk according to what I've learned so far is an ode to the Male God Osiris, while there is also a female monument which should be familiar to us US citizens, but I forget right now which that is.


If we think of the obelisk as a tool in which a pyramid can be built with, it asks the question of what we in this modern era are intending to say with it as part of so many of our monumental structures. Is it an ode to Osiris, (and the maybe dominance of the male gender in general), or are we actually saying - (applying the obelisk as a tool) that our forefathers are Masons now, and were the same Masons to have built the ancient pyramids? Or maybe both? Who knows. I know I'm tired of writing, though so ...


I've been waiting to get to the end of this blog to finally run a google search to see weather this has ever been postulated. (The real mystery lies more in the fact that the stones weigh too much to have been moved by culture of this ancient timeline and aren't supposed to have been capable of something like this, according to the agreement of our modern historians.) Just after the time I thought of this, I also thought to myself, "It's actually really obvious, and has probably been said a million times over." And so I'm going to go google it right now and see. More than likely I'm not the first to realize this.


Okay "draft auto saved by blogger"reads 18 minutes ago, so I searched about that long. I'm not lyin'.... I didn't turn anything up that remotely related the use of the obelisk as being part of the construction of the pyramids. I looked on several pages, and ran several searches... I expected find at least... one. Not finding one makes me think it might not be that great of an idea after all. Maybe there are many reasons why this could never work (though I can't think of any reasons why not.) If anything all the sites agree - the obelisk certainly is a monument that holds great significance to our history, but seems to honor the monument in such a fashion that implies it is a monument of importance unto it's self, with far too much significance to have ever been a mere tool used to build pyramids with.


But, what isn't important about a tool, especially one of this nature? The things we use to construct any physical objects could be thought of as Divine. Applying this realm of thought to the obelisk, it could represent a "core", or "core building block" with which both the pyramid and obelisk are used as a symbolic representation of humanity itself.


Often pyramidal structures are used to describe the hierarchy of classes and echelons, which decrease in populous, becoming more important as you reach the very top capstone; we could look at the capstone now thinking of what it may actually be... something that has been there from the very beginning, and was an essential, singular piece of stone - spanning the structures length from ground up, first to be erected, and of great importance in order to build the entire structure.... Booyaka!


If anyone reading thinks this might be of any relevance, and wants to run some googles looking for any claims of the same nature - be my guest.
