The Interstellar Lighthouse: A twenty first Century Synthesis of The Nice Pyramid of Giza by Ryan Nagy
“The Nice Pyramid wasn’t constructed merely as a tomb for a pharaoh however as a classy engineering venture that offered historical Egypt with agricultural stability, electrical energy, a timekeeping machine and even the power to speak with the celebrities.”
The tv present Historic Aliens has been a supply of leisure for me during the last decade or so. Its mixture of archeology, historical past, science and wild leaps of logic (“I’m not saying it was aliens … but it surely was aliens”) vary from the intriguingly believable to the totally ridiculous. The enjoyable of it’s within the suspension of disbelief, by no means figuring out the place you’re going to land in that spectrum by the tip of every present. And it’s in that spirit that I started my learn of The Interstellar Lighthouse: A twenty first Century Synthesis of The Nice Pyramid of Giza by Ryan Nagy.
From Historic Aliens to Enlightening Insights
I used to be already acquainted with most of the theories and ideas mentioned on this thick, gorgeously illustrated quantity however I shortly realized that tv reveals like Historic Aliens, podcasts like The Why Information and even long-form documentaries don’t go into the sort of element or make the sort of large-scale connections that Nagy lays out in such a methodical and complete method on this ebook.
Maybe it has to do with making the fabric interesting to a common viewers. Maybe it’s the constraints of the medium or the media platform the place such reveals are distributed. Regardless, I got here away from The Interstellar Lighthouse with a a lot better grasp of not solely the theories and ideas I’ve encountered in these reveals but additionally the proof from which they arose. And a few of that proof, because it seems, is extra compelling than I beforehand thought.
Nagy’s venture is an bold one — it’s a survey of many faculties of thought arising from the fringes of present scientific inquiry and the deep wells of knowledge inherent in religious traditions. It’s also an try and “synthesize” these right into a cohesive narrative that additionally leaves room for his or her variations and contradictions. The result’s enormously spectacular: an expansive view of cosmological cycles and their results on Earth’s civilizations, utilizing the instance of the feats achieved within the constructing of The Nice Pyramid of Giza as a jumping-off level.
Bridging Science and Spirituality
The Interstellar Lighthouse is absolutely a number of books in a single. Roughly a 3rd of the ebook is dedicated to the proof that The Nice Pyramid wasn’t constructed merely as a tomb for a pharaoh however as a classy engineering venture that offered historical Egypt with agricultural stability, electrical energy, a timekeeping machine and even the power to speak with the celebrities above. Nagy takes us by way of all the system, each inside and out of doors the pyramid, explaining intimately the science and engineering ideas behind these claims. He additionally demonstrates how Egyptian religious beliefs intersected with expertise in its operation. He attracts upon and integrates many sources of analysis, offering deep perception into the subject.
Nagy then turns his consideration to the affect of the constellation of Orion on not solely the place and function of The Nice Pyramid but additionally on varied different historical and indigenous cultures around the globe. Right here begins the true “synthesis” promised within the subtitle of the ebook, as he tackles theories of how the pyramids and different nice megalithic websites around the globe had been constructed through acoustic levitation and dives into the speculation that the traditional Egyptians had been the custodians of expertise developed by an earlier, superior civilization we check with in Western mythology as Atlantis. And sure, he additionally covers “historical astronaut theories” popularized by Historic Aliens.
From right here, we discover the wide-ranging mythological narratives supporting the rise and fall of not only one earlier, superior civilization however probably many. In analyzing these cycles of destruction and creation, historically attributed to acts of divine intervention, just like the Nice Flood, Nagy goes past religious beliefs to take a look at the geological data left behind by such cataclysms. Past human historical past, Nagy takes us by way of prehistorical epochs of life on Earth and the doable affect of the Solar and different celestial forces on the climactic and terrestrial adjustments that mark every period.
Lastly, Nagy turns his consideration again to the cycles of human civilization and gives a historic overview of world occasions from the angle of astrology and its foundation within the Earth’s axial precession by way of the zodiac. It’s notably fascinating to see how the historical past you discovered in class lays out on this construction and the way this method of understanding gives new insights into patterns that underly our cultural and religious evolution by way of the ages.
Cosmic Cycles and Civilization
In case you are feeling that Nagy has strayed too far afield in his efforts to supply context for the importance and function of The Nice Pyramid of Giza, take into consideration this: all of his exploration of cycles, no matter their trigger or their scale, boils right down to the concept that this megalithic construction stands at this time not solely as a historic file however as a logo of hope for the long run. Simply because it represents an amalgam of misplaced religious knowledge and expertise, it additionally represents the top of human achievement.
If the cyclical nature of civilizations and life on Earth are indicative of our future, it’s as much as us to study from the cycles that got here earlier than us, avoiding the errors of earlier civilizations and drawing upon their knowledge to achieve new heights of societal evolution, technological prowess and, sure, religious enlightenment. And, Nagy argues, that begins the place we’re proper now, in realigning our political and cultural programs to those objectives.
