The Great Pyramid of Giza
The Great Pyramid of Giza is the largest and oldest pyramid of the Giza plateau’s necropolis, the city of the dead.

Over the years, dozens of estimates have been developed, all trying to explain how such a large building could be constructed with huge stone blocks, and so quickly!

The post The Great Pyramid of Giza appeared first on Richard Cassaro.
Richard Cassaro is a journalist, speaker and author of “Written In Stone: Decoding The Secret Masonic Religion Hidden In Gothic Cathedrals And World Architecture.” The book uncovers a lost Wisdom Tradition that was practiced globally in antiquity, found memorialized in pyramids, Triptychs, and identical images worldwide. The central tenets of this tradition have been perpetuated in Western Secret Societies. The most visible of these is the so-called “Masonic Fraternity,” an age-old chivalric Order whose ranks have included Europe’s Gothic cathedral builders and America’s Founding Fathers.
