Then, next question: why build such a thing ?
It was a symbolic mechanism used for the metaphysical transportation of the pharaoh's soul to the stars. You probably already know of the existence of the two small inaccessible tunnels going in and out of the king's and queen's chambers, well this was the pathway.
Good enough reason?
In Egyptian mythology, Ptah (also spelled Peteh) was the deification of the primordial mound in the Ennead cosmogony, which was more literally referred to as Ta-tenen (also spelled Tathenen), meaning risen land, or as Tanen, meaning submerged land, though Tatenen was a god in his own right before being assimilated with Ptah.

While looking into the angle of the air shafts I happened upon the fact that the great pyramid is build on the geographic center of all earths landmass. THe Great pyramid is built upon the primordial mound.

The earth is not a flat plane, it is a sphere. Therefore the center of mass and/or gravity cannot be on the outer layers. Plus you are forgetting Antarctica, so that logic is flawed. The reason that lower Egypt 'appears' to be at the center in some of the images that have been posted in another thread on this board is due to the projection being centered on Egypt's meridian.
So please don't call it a fact.
Only a solid stone mountain could endure the Pyramid's immense weight. And indeed, a flat solid granite mountain happens to be located just beneath the surface of the ground directly under the Pyramid.
It is built to face true North.
The Pyramid is located at the exact center of the Earth's land mass. That is, its East-West axis corresponds to the longest land parallel across the Earth, passing through Africa, Asia, and America. Similarly, the longest land meridian on Earth, through Asia, Africa, Europa, and Antarctica, also passes right through the Pyramid. Since the Earth has enough land area to provide 3 billion possible building sites for the Pyramid, the odds of it's having been built where it is are 1 in 3 billion.

I didn't say that the center of the earths gravity is in Giza. I said that Giza is the geographic center of the earths land mass.
Therefore the center of mass and/or gravity cannot be on the outer layers.

Or it could be that the flood myths originate from humanity's flight from another star system or transition through a space time gate.

Can you prove that the great pyramid is not located in the geographic center of the earths land masses?

No, i cannot. I don't need to. They built their monuments (the Pyramids) there because that is where they lived.

Exactly. If the Egyptians would have built the Pyramids 3000 miles from their homes, THEN I would be impressed. But, as it is, they built them where they lived.

Ptah created Atum (Depicted as a snake) (Adam?) (The first man) to rule over the primordial mount. Ref: en.wikipedia.org...
As early as 1910, Dr. William Hayes Ward discovered that symbols similar to the classical caduceus sometimes appeared on Mesopotamian cylinder seals. He suggested the symbol originated some time between 3000 and 4000 BCE, and that it might have been the source of the Greek caduceus.[4] A.L. Frothingham incorporated Dr. Ward's research into his own work, published in 1916, in which he suggested that the prototype of Hermes was an "Oriental deity of Babylonian extraction" represented in his earliest form as a snake god.

You should look into the Ben-Ben stone.
Originally posted by In nothing we trust
Apparently the Ben-Ben stone (Great pyramid?) was the first thing that arose out of the waters. The Ben-Ben stone sat upon the primordial mount (Which appears to be solid bedrock).

Just adding to my last post.
Ptah is depicted as holding a rod.
Is this part of the DNA code of humanity?

Why would Atum (Adam?) the father of humanity be depicted as a snake (Serpent)?
The father of humanity = DNA?
Two snakes wrapped around a pole (Which evolved from a single snake wrapped around a pole) now depict medical knowledge which has derived from the greeks. It has been suggested that the greeks derived the snake as a symbol for medicine from the babylonians. Is it possible that Hermes has his roots in anchient egypt as Ptah?

I think I'm happy with believing that the Benben stone was constructed by the Egyptians themselves to support their own myths. The 'risen', that is the 'Benben' [alluded to as the phoenix and/or the Sun] and the mythological associations that were made to it alone shows you what its purpose was and why it was crafted. I don't see what its got to do with the center of landmass theory.
Benben or Ben-ben, in Egyptian mythology, or more specifically in the Heliopolitan tradition, was the mound that arose from the primordial waters, Nu, and on which the creator god Atum settled.
In Egyptian mythology, Nu ("Watery One") or Nun ("The Inert One") is the deification of the primordial watery abyss. In the Ogdoad cosmogony, the name nu means "abyss".
Nu, being a concept, was viewed as not having a gender, but also had aspects that could be represented as female or male as with most Egyptian deities. Naunet (also spelt Nunet) is the female aspect, which is the name Nu with a female gender ending.
Naunet is represented as a snake or snake-headed woman.

HOWEVER, the point is that he did show that one man could develop a way to move large stones without complex machinery

Almost all major civilizations have had Deluge myths, from Noah's Ark to the tales of Utnapishtim, Manu, Deucalion, Shanhaijing, the tale of Jormungandr, etc, etc. These are not 'global' deluge's, it's just each civilization thinking their own land is all there is and it was further sensationalized through story telling.
