GEOMETRY SECRETS of the BENT PYRAMID.

The Bent Pyramid, located at the royal necropolis of Dahshur, is the most enigmatic of the approximately ninety pyramids to be found in Egypt. A unique example of early pyramid development, c. 2596 BCE, it is also unique in that its original polished limestone outer casing remains largely intact

The lower part of the pyramid rises from the desert at an inclination of 54º44′. But the top section is built at the shallower angle of 43º22′, lending the pyramid its very obvious “bent” appearance.

Orthodox archaeologists postulate that due to the steepness of the original angle of inclination the structure may have begun to show signs of instability during construction, forcing the builders to adopt a shallower angle to avert the structure’s collapse. In essence, what the peopel are suggesting is that this beautiful edifice was a mistake, even if their theory is unproven.

Given the track record of Egyptian monuments, errors were not part of the temple builders’ vocabulary. Throughout this ancient land of Al Khem vast temple complexes were designed and encoded with advanced mathematics, sacred geometry, astrological and astronomical alignments, mirror imaging of entire constellations, and the list goes on. Errors simplydid not factor into such precise observations.

Another popular theory expounded by orthodox egyptologists concerns the initial slope angle: the construction would simply take too long, and Sneferu’s death was nearing, the builders changed the angle to complete the construction in time. However, neither the BEnt pyramid nor any other major pyramid has produced burial remains or signs of having been designed for funerial purposes. In the case of the great pyramid of Giza, the entrance leading into the alledged burial chamber is too narrow to accomodate a sarcophagus. Needless to say the theory of pyramids-as-tombs is as absurd as the story that builders simply wished to hurry a job along. Even today anyone building a house will tell you that builders never rush a job! Let’s take another look at those enigmatic slopes and see if there was purpose behind the design.

The ancient formal name of the Bent Pyramid is generally translated as (The)-Southern-Shining-Pyramid. And in terms of mystery, it certainly shines. In ancient times, names and myths were generally metaphoric by nature, and concealed several layers of meaning. In Egypt, ‘shining’ is also a reference to the creator Gods , the ‘Els’ or Shining Ones. If we follow this line of reasoning then the structure is in some way involved with ‘creation’, ‘form’, ‘manifestation’, or all three.

The ancient Egyptians knew how the Universe worked. The ratios of the dimensions of the Earth, as well as the dissection of planetary geometries is hidden in the temples they erected. In a way the temples are mirrors of the perfection of the Earth and teh solar system, hence why their designs are pleasing to the eye: they are perfect, just as the solar system is built on a precise relationship betwen geometry and its numerical miror, mathematics. And the Bent Pyramid is no exception.

Using a simple mathematical equation (see left) the lower slope angle of the structure reveals itself to be the angle of a hexagon. The upper slope unfolds into a pentagon. These are two of the most over-used geometric shapes found anywhere, but seen together they have a profound meaning.

Temples were designed as a mirror of the Earth, and the Earth is made of its own geometry. Take the axial wobble at the Earth’s Pole (it’s Precessional Cycle), which takes approximately 25,770 years to complete. Divide this by the Earth’s equatorial circumference of 21,638 nautical miles. The ratio between the two is 5:6.

Since geometry is the expression of number in space, this ratio is equivalent to the pentagram:hexagram. Thus the Bent Pyramid is a reflection of the dynamics of the Earth, and it is this precise ratio that enables life to exist here, for the 5:6 ratio is only found on this planet.

But there’s more. You’d expect this 5:6/pentagon/hexagon relationship to be reflected on all things that emanate from the Earth. In truth, all organic life is based on pentagonal crystalline structures— think starfish, seed arrangement in an apple core, etc. On the other hand, inorganic compounds, such as crystals, the structure of beehives, etc, are hexagonal. But there’s one life form that emanates from the Earth which carries both geometries in its crystalline make-up.
When looking at human DNA under the microscope we see its amino acid crystals bind one to another in alternating pentagonal and hexagonal blocks. In other words, we are a reflection of the form that gives us life.

Since temples were designed to influence the behaviour of people who entered them, the purpose behind the Bent Pyramid’s ‘angles of error’ now become obvious: the temple was designed as an interface between humans and the Earth. When you consider that the entire building sits atop a magnetic node, the implications of its position and its function are startling.
