The pyramids that follow the Great Pyramid of Giza, the three pyramids on the Giza Plateau, the pyramids that follow them, the fifth dynasty pyramids, are really poor. They're very, very poor quality workmanship. They're falling to pieces. You can hardly recognize from the outside that they're a pyramid at all. When you get inside,

You do find wonderful chambers and you do find what you don't find in any of the Great Pyramids, which is huge numbers of hieroglyphs and accounts of the person who was supposedly buried in that pyramid.

I think it's a theory which deserves to be taken seriously along with other theories as to what it is. One thing I know for sure is that the theory that it was just a tomb and nothing else is bust. That is not a satisfactory theory anymore. So we should be open to a number of possibilities. And Chris comes to this from a background of machine tool making. He's a very precise guy. He's an engineer.

He understands this kind of thing. And when he looks at particularly the At Saqqara, you have this thing called the Serapium, which is an underground labyrinth. And it's got wide corridors through it and then off each side are rooms. And in each room are these gigantic basalt chambers. which appear to have held the corpses of bulls.

They're like sarcophagi for human beings, but they're on an enormous, gigantic scale, weighing hundreds of tons and cut out of the hardest possible rock, precisely engineered. Everything is exact. And it's that, amongst other things, that is attracting Chris's attention to the possibility of... A lost technology in ancient Egypt.

And then he asked himself the question, well, what was the Great Pyramid if it wasn't a tomb? What might it have been? And he's come to the solution that it was some kind of energy generator, some kind of power plant.

Oddly enough, there's just a recently published archaeological paper. concerning the step pyramid at Saqqara, which is suggesting that they used hydraulics to lift the big stones up inside there. And that begins to come close to the kind of technology in some ways that Chris is talking about. I think it's worth taking very seriously. I've always had great respect for Chris.

I've traveled to Egypt with him. And I think he's done very important work contributing to this. And also... Looking at the stone vases from ancient Egypt, I remember the first time I was drawn to this mystery, which was… You gave us one of them.
