Archeologist Claims To Have Finally Solved Pyramid Mystery

Although mummies can be found in a number of museums around the world, the mummy remains of the Pyramids of Giza have remained something of a mystery over the years. It is believed that the vast majority of the remains and treasures were stolen by looters not too long after many pharaohs were buried in the tombs. The pyramids became a prime location for looters. As a result, the Egyptians chose to bury later pharaohs such as Tutankhamen in the Valley of the Kings.

One of the most prevalent theories in Egyptology is that there is a direct correlation between the positioning of each Giza pyramid and the three stars that make up Orion's Belt. This is due to the idea that these stars were heavily linked to the Egyptian deity Osiris, the god of rebirth and afterlife. Although many have debated over the years the validity of this theory, Glen Dash seems to have settled the debate once and for all...

In order to get to the bottom of this age-long mystery, archeologists are required to know what the ultimate purpose was of the Pyramids. It is widely believed that these structures are about 4,500 years old and Ancient Egyptian civilization built them in order to provide elaborate tombs for their pharaohs. That's not all though. The pyramids were also where their mummified remains once lay, as well as the afterlife tools. But where exactly are those remains now?

Ultimately, it is possible that the Indian Circle Method eventually made its way into northern Africa, into the hands of the Ancient Egyptians. It is believed that it was once Indian's Harappan civilization who first performed the method. Moreover, archeologists also speculate that even older Indian communities used the method. Dash's theory includes the notion that travelers brought this method west of India and eventually into Egypt. But what exactly is the Indian Circle Method and how does it work?

The Indian Circle Method involves a gnomon, which is a traditional wooden rod, and some string. The user takes the rod and places upright when the sun is out. As a sun "moves," the shadow of the rod also changes position. The user then marks the shadow's progress every half an hour and once the day is over, they draw a line through the half-hour marks on the ground. However, there is one more step to this method...
