pyramids: models of the spacetime matrix
by will hart
when we look at pyramids and try to comprehend why ancient cultures built them, why they chose this particular shape and what it means, it is usually not through the lens of science. we seem to assume or have been conditioned to presume that the depths of the pyramid civilizations are too mysterious for us to penetrate and too alien for our logic to unravel. but is this mindset warranted? might it be that it is our attitudes that are preventing comprehension and not the pyramids or their ancient builders?
at this point we are going to take a clinical, architectural approach to the shape of the physical structure and leave out symbolism or metaphysics. a pyramid or step-pyramid has several obvious structural features: 1) a square or slightly rectangular base and 2) four sides that have a tetrahedral shape that slope inward toward an apex or a truncated platform instead of an apex.
right away we note that there is nothing mystical or occult about a quadratic structure, which the pyramid surely is. most buildings have a square or rectangular base or foundation today and far back into the past as well. this 4-cornered foundation and four-sided building is so common we take the structure for granted and never examine the phenomenon. however, there is every indication that the ancients conducted serious studies of this issue. they appear to have determined that the earth and cosmos have a quadratic foundation at least in the material realm.
