I never once claimed the Egyptians copied ziggurats,

Some people wrongly argue that Egyptian pyramids evolved out of nothing and represent a sudden leap in architecture that can only be attributable to aliens; but the truth is that they owe to the extensive development period of the Sumerians.
pyramids are manmade sacred mountains
I also never said there was a connection between the Inca and Egypt,

Consider the Incan why is it built in such a ridiculous location? Simply because it is situated in the centre of the 4 highest mountains in the region
And you say im reaching for arguments.
This explains why so much of their mythology revolves around the forces of order (maat) defeating chaos.
Incidentally, the waters from which the mythic primeval Mound of the Universe emerged were called the Waters of Chaos. So their pyramids represented the Primeval Hill that rose from the waters of the receding Nile.
Case in point, the mound of Order was emulated by a synthetic mound of unifying order over tribes of farmers.
Accordingly, the Sumerians built Ziggurats as representations of their Sacred Mountains

The ENTIRE point of this thread is the composite symbol, which you havent addressed, havent dissuaded, havent offered a better interpretation. Eye in a separate golden capstone floating over a pyramid.
Many religions have used the image of an eye in their religious symbolism. One of the earliest known examples (from Egyptian mythology) is the Eye of Horus.

If they just wanted to depict a simple 'eye of providence' then why did they add all the other symbols to it? THAT is the point!
If they based it off of a real life black capstone with 2 eyes then WHY did they depict it neither black nor 2-eyed? THAT is the point!
If they just wanted a cool pyramid why disconnect the capstone to be floating above? THAT is the point!
My conclusion was that they had no direct connection to ancient egypt and they simply combined ideas that suited their aims into a logo. That is the friggen point. Interpretation of their chosen combined symbols.
The entire purpose of the thread is to explain the composite symbolism that they chose and how it relates to actions/events at present. Im starting to think you just like to hear yourself talk.
For the reverse, Barton used a pyramid of thirteen steps, with the radiant Eye of Providence overhead, and used the mottos "Deo Favente" ("With God favoring") and "Perennis" (Everlasting). The pyramid had come from another Continental currency note designed in 1778 by Hopkinson, this time the $50 note, which had a nearly identical pyramid and the motto "Perennis". Barton had at first specified "on the Summit of it a Palm Tree, proper," with the explanation that "The Palm Tree, when burnt down to the very Root, naturally rises fairer than ever," but later crossed it out and replaced it with the Eye of Providence, taken from the first committee's design
A ziggurat was a temple, which was used in life, a pyramid was a tomb
that was used in death, they are completely dissimilar
Then you compare that with Machu Pichu, which is Incan, a civilisation
that developed long after the Ancient Egyptians were gone,
there is no connection at all
The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, royal power and good health. The eye is personified in the goddess Wadjet (also written as Wedjat,[1][2][3] or "Udjat",[4] Uadjet, Wedjoyet, Edjo or Uto[5]). It is also known as ''The Eye of Ra''.[6] The name Wadjet is derived from "wadj" meaning "green", hence "the green one",
In one myth, when Set and Horus were fighting for the throne after Osiris's death, Set gouged out Horus's left eye. The majority of the eye was restored by either Hathor or Thoth (with the last portion possibly being supplied magically). When Horus's eye was recovered, he offered it to his father, Osiris, in hopes of restoring his life. Hence, the eye of Horus was often used to symbolise sacrifice, healing, restoration, and protection.

he ENTIRE point of this thread is that a group of people use a symbol of an EYE IN A GOLD UNFINISHED PYRAMID which does NOT exist in history.

I definitely agree that it's impossible to ignore, at least when everything is compiled together. I think one of the main reasons is because it's primarily deeply religious people spouting about satanism and possession and it sounds kind of absurd. Im not going to claim demons arent behind it but, the problem with that is isolating non-religious people from it. So I wanted to show the earthly reasons for a new world order conspiracy, without using the words satan or illuminati myself.
People are so convinced that a conspiracy could not be centuries in the making without some paranormal backing but, they just dont understand the draw of wealth, and more importantly, power. People are offered fame and fortune in exchange for compliance (selling your soul metaphor). Those who choose to leave will see their careers crumble, and maybe even be killed (remember how Amy Winehouse alluded that she refused the triangle?)
This isnt even the part where im collecting all the photos but it still shows a lot of connections. Here's a teaser of part 2

On 29 July, in the twelfth indiction [1014, Xiphias and his men] descended suddenly on the Bulgarians, from behind and screaming battle cries. Panic stricken by the sudden assault [the Bulgarians] turned to flee, while the emperor broke through the abandoned wall. Many [Bulgarians] fell and many more were captured; Samuel barely escaped from danger with the aid of his son, who fought nobly against his attackers, placed him on a horse, and made for the fortress known as Prilep. The emperor blinded the Bulgarian captives -- around 15,000 they say -- and he ordered every hundred to be led back to Samuel by a one-eyed man.

Hello and welcome to my very first full thread, denizens of ATS! If you have found your way here then you are surely well acquainted with the antique symbol of the Eye in the unfinished Pyramid. It has been prolifically abundant throughout all forms of media, particularly in hollywood movies, among wealthy music artists, and even in children's cartoons.
It is not my intention to document every instance in movies, music, and television, but the curious mind will find hundreds of examples. No one can deny the Eye in the Pyramid is hidden everywhere - which is all the more curious because despite being Egyptian symbolism... there has NEVER been any actual archaeological discovery depicting it!
When it comes to groups desiring power, symbolism is best. You can explain it one way to the initiates and a different way to the average person. Tell each what they want to hear! And that's how psychological warfare runs smoothly - if you do it right, you will create allies but no enemies, and no one will be wise to your real intentions.
Using psychology and history I am going to delve into the archetypal symbolism of this icon to break down its true meaning. This is going to be as much a history lesson as it is a psychology study, with some tinfoil hat at the end to alleviate boredom.
I'm finally here to expand on ideas I have been saying for a while. This is the result of over 30 hours work, including 17 hours straight writing from midnight to 7pm on 10 Sept 2015, and many more on top of that reading and compiling.
As there are many pages of content, 3 hours of video, and dozens of source papers, please do not comment until I am done posting. Enjoy
The pyramidion must have already fallen off by that time, or it was never placed on the pyramid apex. It may have even been a symbolic pyramid on the complex grounds.
