The moon was never worshipped in Egypt. Thoth was originally a moon god, but by the time of dynastic Egypt (when the Jews, presumanbly would have come into contact with them), there was no such thing as a "moon god" or "moon worship." People worshipped the Pharoah as the divine god.
It was for the builders. Their tools and their writings and their tombs are there at Giza. You may have your suspicions, but they do not match the facts.
The Egyptian towns have names and temples and on the temples are the hieroglyphics that spell out the name of the town. There are staggering amounts of records about these towns, including descriptions of where they are and rudimentary maps as well.
There are no Hebrew writings there, the names are not Hebrew in origin. They are all Egyptian.
Furthermore, there are historic records (Greek, Roman, etc) locating those Jewish towns near or in Israel.
So explain why you doubt the Romans, Greeks, Sumerians, Egyptians -- and the Israelites themselves? Surely they knew where they were. There's a huge difference between Israel and Egypt.[
So, tell us... why don't you think that the MODERN day Jerusalem, with its ancient monuments (archaeological sites as old as 3,000 years can be found there) which has ALWAYS been called Jerusalem -- isn't the real Jerusalem.
Jericho was destroyed in ancient times, so its location can be questioned. Jerusalem hasn't been wiped away since its founding.
So how do you justify that the city which has been in the same site for over 3,000 years with the same name is not Jerusalem?

Glad to see you switched most of your markings to the temple in front of the pyramids and not to the pyramid itself being the temple....like you did last time. At least this way, you have some slmall chance of winning such a "debate", lol
I disagree. (Cyrus)
quote: he Great Pryramid was refered to as the "Great And Wonderful House"
It Had 26 Lions (Sphinx) in front of it, and was far larger than 60 x 20 Cubits.
The only scriptural reference to God's house being great and wonderful is in 2Chronicles 2:9. It reads-
"Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build [shall be] wonderful great."
Where was timber used in the Great Pyramid?
2 Sphinx by the sides of the Great Throne and 24 on the steps around the Throne. 12 Sphinx on the left side+12 Sphinx on the right side
Hugh? This description of Solomon's throne has nothing to do with the Great Pyramid.
quote: And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem
If you look at an aerial map of the long stretch of once gated land north of "Menkaure" and directly west or behind "Khafre", you'll see a comblike array of narrow slits going along the west side. These could be some of the stalls mentioned, not all 4,000 though, there were more in other cities.
The Materials used to build the Great and Wonderful House would not fit in a 60 x 20 cubit Space, Would not take 20 years to build and would not require a workforce of 153,000 workers.
The long causeway alone, if covered with gold could have easily compensated for half of the gold mentioned. There were the priest parlours also, in which they prepared the sacrifice. It took 7 tears to build, not 20. 13 for Solomon's house, which also can be included with the material.
Yes I find this difference compelling since to me the obvious answer is right under their noses.

Somewhere,
I have little doubt that it was the site sacked by Shishak, when Rehoboam reigned. There seems to be speculation however, if the Sheshonk 1 of the 22nd Dynasty is actually the Shishak of Scripture. Velikovsky thinks Shishak was Thutmosis III, Rohl thinks Rameses II, Michael Sanders thinks Rameses III.
Where Egyptologists are perplexed as to why some of these sun temples are missing, the mistake may be their looking for replications of the two already found.
I'd draw the initial conclusion that these were other high places where the Lord was worshipped and animal sacrifice was offered. Ephraim?Bethel? Carmel? Hebron? Before the construction of the House of the Lord, the Jews worshipped the Lord in many different high places.(1Kings 3:2)

This one point alone throws out the theory that the Egyptians built the Great Pyramid for it is no way anyone could know the diameter of the earth unless God revealed it to them.

The Sphinx itself is not an Earthly Creature, it is a statue of a Heavenly Creature, more than likely a Cherubim.

It is awaiting the ?DAWN OF A NEW DAY? in which the Giza Plateau will be transformed into a ?GREATER GLORY? than that of the Days of King Solomon.
In my opinion it was the Egyptians that built the pyramids. Acient Egyptians couldn't have possibly accomplished that without supernatural, extraterrestrial help. Or whatever else you want to call it for that matter. Is it the work of the Biblical God ? Obviously not.

Very simply jupiter, 144,000 is a multiple of 144. God could not have built the Sphinx 144,000 cubits long, so he "SCALED" it down.
