28 years. I published an article. I published an article about, you can find this article.
Egyptologists has a problem when they count the name of the king. Because when the ancient Egyptians counted the cattle, they counted the name of the king. Sometimes they count the cattle every year. Sometimes they counted the cattle every two years. Then we make mistakes. But now we have year 27 of Kofi's reign.
And we have on the second boat bed that the Japanese are restoring now, we know when the king died, his son buried him. Then Kufu's son, his name is Jerry Frey, who did not respect his father. And I will tell you why. He buried his father in year 28. Then we know now for sure that Kufu ruled for 28 years. Now, Miller said something that made me very happy.
Because 25 years ago, I wrote an article to say that Memphis was not the capital of Egypt. I said that the king ruled Egypt from the pyramid. If the pyramid is in Abrawash, the king ruled Egypt from Abrawash. If the pyramid is in Giza, Giza, Abusir, Saqqara. Then Meir said something many people did not believe me when I wrote this article. But Miller said Khufu lived in his palace at Giza.
If he lived in a palace at Giza, means with the royal family, the public and the government. And he said that the area that Khufu lived in it, in the pyramid called Ankh Khufu, in hieroglyphic, means Khufu lives. This is the name of the city that Khufu lived in it. And Miller said, we came to Giza in an area in hieroglyphic called Rashe. And Rashe means literally mouth of the lake.
This could be the entrance of Giza Plateau. But what's really strange, he said, it took me almost one day for me and my workmen to come to the pyramid. Why? Because Giza entrance was busy. Every stone coming in has to be counted. Every workman has to sign the first letter of his name. And this is why if you go today to the Port of New York, it will take you five hours to enter because it's busy.
And this is what happened at Giza Plateau. This papyri, in my opinion, is really one of the most important discoveries that tells us for the first time about building the pyramid. And now... We come to the reign of Kofu 28 years and now the stones of the Great Pyramid. I looked everywhere to find out how they counted the stones that people said it's 2 million and 300 salsa blocks, right?
I found no evidence. It's only when the Arabs came. You know, all the theories that the New Age people say now, it came from the Arabs. When the Arabs came and they entered the pyramid, they said all this nonsense stories about the pyramids. Then I never found any place to tell me how they cut the stones.
But now we have evidence that the base of the pyramid is 20 feet high of solid rock, no stones. In 2010, I brought a team of scientists from every field, and we recounted the stones based on the new evidence, and we found out that the stones of the pyramid are only no more than 1 million. And the average height of the limestone is half a ton to two and a half tons.
No, I want to come to when you told me about this capstone, because we did not complete the capstone.
Because of the new discovery that we found that the base is made of the solid rock. So before they thought the base was individual stones.
Every king in Egypt is buried underneath the pyramid. Every king except Kufu and his father Senefro. The only two kings, they are not buried underneath, is Khufu and his father. If you look at the one chamber underneath, it was cut and built. If you go down, it's left unfinished. Left unfinished in what way? It was planned to cut it, but they did not complete it.
You can see when you go down that the burial chamber is not finished. Why? Why? Because I found out in our research, every king is Horus on earth. When the king died, he become the sun god. Okay? Okay. Khufu, in year five, he said, I am the sun god. And he abandoned the construction of the first sun god. Barrier chamber. And he built his chamber within the pyramid because he's the god.
No. The first one. I'm going to come to this chamber later. Okay. And the second evidence that he called his pyramid Akhet Khufu means the horizon of Khufu. And the only one in the horizon is the sun god. And the third evidence is something... that only occurred at Giza, the Sphinx and its temple.
I found that the Sphinx represents Kephren, the son of Khufu, giving offering with his two bows to his father, the sun god Khufu, who rises and sits in this temple, the first sun temple. And this is why Khufu's pyramid is unique among the 120 pyramids. And I will tell you what I discovered inside the pyramid now.
Now, Before I tell you about what I discovered, I have to complete the scene that I told you, that I found workmen dragging a capstone. You remember? You asked me that. We stopped on that. Above the capstone, there is a hieroglyphic word called Ja'im. And Ja'im means white and yellow gold. A second scene I found, ladies dancing.
and they call them the henner and the henner are the dance troupe of the king. My interpretation of these two scenes, when the pyramid was finished, the king asked the workmen to put the cobblestone in the top of the pyramid. When they put the cobblestone in the top of the pyramid caged with gold, the whole country dance and sing because the king became a god.
That's what I call the national project of the whole nation. The three millions who lived in Egypt in the time of the whole kingdom, all of them participated in building the pyramid to make the king as a god. This is your theory. Not a theory. No? It's fact. It is a fact.
It's not a theory. It's based on evidence. I found the scenes. The papyri. No, the papyri is something else. What are the scenes? It's blocks. Limestone blocks. One scene, working and dragging a capstone. with the word Jaim. Is this written in limestone blocks? Is this what you're saying? No, it shows the workman dragging a stone. Shows it where? In the stone that they discovered.
So it's carved into the stone. Exactly. And the word Jaim in hieroglyphic above that. Where is that at? It's an Abusir. I found it. But are there photographs online? Yes, in my book. I don't go online. Why do I have to go online? I go to my book. No, I understand. But for everybody else that doesn't have immediate access to your book. Did you find them online? It's called the Abusir Blocks.
