Of course. It was obvious since the beginning. Now we know. At last. The true purpose of the Great Pyramid : to serve as a music stage for pop stars.

Here are three examples of the strange delirious ideas in the minds of some of the most popular musicians of our time. They truly understood the aim of the builders of the old monument : not a tomb or a place of initiation. Not at all. Just the higher stage to sing; or the best hype place to record your next hit; or a nice design for the cover of your album. How could we have missed it?

* “I looked at the Great Pyramids and I almost broke down… I crawled to the top of the pyramid and I just sang at the top of my lungs. People walking in acted like I was crazy; I didn’t care, it was so poignant for me.” Alicia Keys,in the Complex magazine of October, about her “pilgrim“ in Egypt just before the recording of her last album worldwide sold since November 13th, “As I am”…

 

* ROBBIE WILLIAMS, the old bad boy, will record part of his next album in the Great Pyramid.
The Millennium singer said he will take advantage of the acoustics inside the pyramid of Giza and is preparing to fly out to Cairo in December the 07th, according to the magazine ViP. An insider gave some amazing details : ”Robbie has heard the chamber of the Great Pyramid has the best acoustics in the world.
“He’s going to go and sing a few notes in there to see if the sound is as impressive as expected.” No comment….

*Even Daft Punk is hype : on the cover of their last album “Alive”, sold since the 19th of November , as well as during their last tour, the design of the “truncated pyramid” which reminds the Great Pyramid (whose the sharp-cut top, called the “pyramidion”, is in fact missing since unknown times ) is everywhere. Consider the theme of two robots/musicians leading the show from the heart of the pyramid and make your own guess about the meaning for such a synchronicity…..

But, in fact, all this pop frenzy around the Great pyramid is not new : remember how the band “The Grateful Dead” already recorded in the seventies a weird videoclip on the top of the monument

and how the french electro musician Jean-Michel Jarre set a highly-symbolical arabic-techno opera, using the Giza pyramids as a part of the show during the big concert to celebrate the New Year 2000

So , for now, a question remains…

Who’s next?

Oh….no….the metal band Iron Maiden has just relased- the 30th of November- the main picture for their 2008 world tour….Just have a close look….

Esoterism is the art of veiling what is essential.

The “father of History”, Herodote, whose nickname should rather be “the first occidental reporter” , had visited the monuments of Giza and interviewed the high-ranking officials around : he got some flawed informations after giving his word to keep secret a few precious revelations he heard about the underground structure of Giza and the nature of the Sphinx….First example of self-censorship?

Whatever, the place is supposed to keep secrets. From the Greeks and the Romans to the Arabs, we can’t count anymore the number of books, stories, chronicles, rumours and legends surrounding the plateau of Giza about “dangers” and “wonders”, especially about the underground  corridors, the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid so close. That idea went beyond the time of Renaissance and would be given a new life with spiritual organizations, aiming to trace back theirs origins to Ancient Egypt. Therefore, from the Rosicrucians of the sixteenth century to the Freemasons of the twentieth, not forget the Theosophists of the nineteeth, there will be many to believe in the ideal of a primordial time linked to Egypt, its initiations and its heritage.

The end of the last century gave a new bith also for what is called by the german researcher Erik Hornung, “egyptosophy”, or the perpetual quest through centuries and cultures of the “first and last Wisdom” known by the scientist-priests of the country. The genesis of a socio-spiritual movement in California during the sixties, called the “New Age”, has given strenght to an occultist theory of a labyrinth under the Giza plateau, especially deep under the Sphinx, in which would be found one day a divine heritage, coming from a lost civilization.

Nowadays, you can find on the Internet any belief or theory about the Great Pyramid that was before under scrutinity inside secret groups. It’s not unusual to see a teenager “playing the teacher” with weird ideas about Egypt that were before only heard in the mouth of an old excentric aristocrat.

The core of the belief? There is in Egypt, somewhere under or inside the Great Pyramid, some “material” so special that it would give shock and awe by showing surprising facts about the past, nature and destiny of mankind. No less no more. For these dreamers, mad or seer, the time for the discovery draws nigh.

That’s why any investigation, even a small one, of the Great pyramid, awakens some excitement or fear much more deeper than any archeological exploration. Like the black monolith of “2001″, the monument is waiting to release its signal for some brave readers of the signs. Whether you believe in the “psychic” force of the place or whether you need hard facts to see, “pyramidiots” or laughing ones, future will tell. Without your consent.

The dual strategy to cover any event around the Great Pyramid : Fox Tv and National Geographic Channel.

He’s famous for his megalomaniac tendency. To be sure, Rupert Murdoch, a simple australian journalist in the sixties, has become a big boss in the media field during the eighties. A secret character, he always refuses an interview about his life or connections in the political or cultural areas.

The man is quite eclectic : press, radio,TV, internet. Everything is good. That’s the way you have to react to cover the event. When Egypt wanted to use the mass media to gain some audience for economic reasons, Murdoch armada was ready. In march 1999, a first try was shot with a special tv broadcast called “opening of the lost tombs”. The show was supposed to reveal a live opening of some sarcophagi in the Giza site but it was mainly a succesful way for people in charge, like Zahi Hawass, to make themselves known and to test the results of thiskind of operation.

Another try in 2002 : this time, the stakes are higher. A so-called live discovery of a secret room inside the Great Pyramid through an exploration of the shafts of the monument by a tiny robot-camera. More medias to cover the story and therefore more money to eran for the makers. But above all one conclusion : the mystery of the Great Pyramid is still efficient . That’s why any media cover would be benefical for the one to be there, at the right place, at the right time.

Rupert Murdoch has understood the key to success for it with a clever innovation : a double broadcast with two channels he owns, Fox Tv and National Geographic Channel. A popular show guaranteed for one hand, a scientific caution for the other. Therefore, negociations are underway, according to insiders, to cover again the end of the exploration of the shafts which is planned for 2007/2008. With the invading commercial on the Net since 2002 and the technic of streaming (non-stop broadcast on the web), economical profits would be tremendous for any media to gain the scoop.

Murdoch is waiting to accomplish his last “coup”. Not sure that the turn of events will let him achieve his plan.
