Wrong Paw and the Wrong Place by

The interesting THC bulletin "
Is A Hall Of Records In Any Of The Caves Beneath The Pyramids Of Giza, Egypt?",
gives a good illustration of why many researchers, who look for a "Hall
of Records" would do well to actually study what the Cayce readings
say. Andrew Collins, author of The Cygnus Mystery, is quoted in the ViewZone article as stating that he,
...suspects
that the caves extend beneath the Second Pyramid, where ancient
tradition puts the legendary Tomb of Hermes, Egypt's legendary founder.
This is significant because Hermes is known as the Great Wisdom Bringer
and Collins suspects that the chambers could possibly reveal something
left behind by Hermes -- something like the legendary Hall of Records.
This
has never been found. So perhaps it is still there, awaiting
discovery......I do believe that the caves that we have entered are
part of a much larger complex that stretches right beneath the entire
Giza plateau....
The author of the article goes on to speculate,
From
the entrance of the caves it appears that you can travel towards the
Second Pyramid and directly under the spot where the Cygnus star,
Deneb, would be aligned with the three pyramids and the wings of
Cygnus. Is this where we will find the famed "Hall of Records"? Will
the Egyptian government allow the world to know about what's really
there? Why are they being so secretive?
What do you think of this?
The
answer to the last question is easy: not much! But let's begin with the
first question, Is this where we will find the famed "Hall of Records"?
Apparently Collins seems to think the Hall of Records is located under
the star Deneb in his Cygnus constellation overlay of Giza. My first
observation is the manner in which Cygnus is pictured. The way the
first two illustrations are sequenced (Orion overlay first, then
Cygnus) you get the impression that Deneb (and therefore the Hall of
Records) is located in front of the 2nd pyramid. This is accomplished
by inverting the follow-up image. I have circled the Sphinx in both
pictures to illustrate the reversal: |

Without
realizing the location of the Sphinx, the second picture gives the
impression that the pyramids are aligned in the same manner as the
first picture, because they are attempting to illustrate that Cygnus is
a better "fit" than Orion. However, by locating the Sphinx in both
pictures, one can see the reversal. Deneb is behind the 2nd Pyramid,
not in front of it. I'm not sure if this was intentional but the effect
is for your mind to think that Deneb is located between the 2nd Pyramid
and the Sphinx and this is not the case.
The author also
describes various snippets of Cayce readings about the Hall of Records
but never actually quotes one detailing its location. For example, we
read that,The records extend through the first
destructions of that ancient civilization, the exodus of Atlanteans to other
lands, and the final destruction of Atlantis. They contain a description of the
building of the Great Pyramid, as well as a prophecy of "who, what, where, would
come [to make] the opening of the records."
The last phrase, beginning
with "who, what, where....", is from Cayce reading 378-16 and it's a shame that
the rest of the reading was not quoted because here we find a description of
where the Hall of Records is located:
...with who, what,
where, would come the opening of the records that are as copies from the sunken
Atlantis; for with the change it must rise (the temple) again.
This in position lies, as the sun rises from the waters, the line of the shadow
(or light) falls between the paws of the Sphinx, that was later set as the
sentinel or guard, and which may not be entered from the connecting chambers
from the Sphinx's paw (right paw) until the TIME has been fulfilled when the
changes must be active in this sphere of man's experience.
Between, then, the Sphinx and the river.
(378-16)
Other Cayce readings also
support this location:
In the information as
respecting the pyramids, their purpose in the experience of the peoples, in the
period when there was the rebuilding of the priest during the return in the
land, some 10,500 before the coming of the Christ into the land, there was first
that attempt to restore and to add to that which had been begun on what is
called the Sphinx, and the treasure or storehouse facing same, between this
and the Nile, in which those records were kept by Arart and Araaraart in the
period.
(5748-5)
The entity aided in
those activities, being among the children of the Law of One from Atlantis;
AIDING the Priest in that preparation, in that manner of building the temples
of records that lie just beyond that enigma that still is the mystery of
mysteries to those who seek to know what were the manners of thought of the
ancient sons who made man - a beast - as a part of the consciousness.
(2402-2)
In the one then before
this we find in that period in that land now known as the Egyptian, when there
were the divisions in the land, and when there were those turmoils.....the
entity remained as one not active in the affairs either political or the affairs
of the State, yet with the RETURN - and the re-establishing of the associations
of the land and the peoples with those that land would aid, the entity then
builded the FIRST of the pyramids that are yet not uncovered..... (Q) In referring to the
uncovered pyramids in the Egyptian land, near what present place are these
pyramids?
(A) Between that as is known as the Mystery of the Ages and the river.
(2124-3)
.....for the later
pyramids, or those yet not uncovered, that has been spoken of, are
BETWEEN the Sphinx (or the Mystery) AND the Nile, or the river.....
(993-3)
Without question, one can
plainly read that the Hall of Records is located somewhere in the rather large
area between the Sphinx and the Nile River. It is also obvious that there are
apparently many pyramids that are yet to be uncovered, not just one as is
commonly believed.

|
| Although the readings quoted above do not specify an exact location, we can at least surmise that records are located in front of
the Sphinx. The caves that Andrew Collins has located are behind the
2nd Pyramid which is already well behind the Sphinx itself (see red
arrow): |

The placement of Deneb in
Collins' star-map overlay of Giza, precludes it from being anywhere
near the location of the Hall of Records according to readings quoted
above.
A more interesting constellation possibility is Lyra which contains the star Vega, the second brightest star in the northern hemisphere. Using the star-map overlay of Cygnus, but expanding the map to include Lyra, one can see how it lines up due east of the Sphinx where the "sun rises from the waters" and is located "between....the Sphinx and the river".
Cayce reading 5748-6 states that the Great Pyramid was built from
10490BC to 10390BC and this just happened to be the time when Vega, through precession, was the northern polestar.

Same as the previous image, except that the constellation of Lyra is added to show its position to the east and in front of the Sphinx.

The Hawass-Lehner team also
seems to be in the business of discrediting the Cayce readings at every
opportunity without actually reading them. In their latest adventure
Drilling
Under the Sphinx, our heroes are busy drilling holes under the Sphinx
left paw:
Dr. Lehner tells us
that, despite the hopes and sometimes insistence of some members of the New Age
community, no secret tunnels, hidden rooms, or Halls of Atlantean Records were
located, despite many holes drilled from a multitude of angles. In fact, it is
probably no accident we were allowed to witness the drilling under the left paw,
as one of the more popular legends has a secret compartment hidden beneath the
Sphinx’s paws.
As noted in reading 378-16,
it is the Sphinx right paw that has the connecting chambers, not the left
one. This is also repeated in reading 5748-6:
When there was the
entrance of Arart and Araaraart, they begin to build upon those mounds which
were discovered through research. With the storehouse, or record house (where
the records are still to be uncovered), there is a chamber or passage from
the right forepaw to this entrance of the record chamber, or record
tomb. This may not be entered without an understanding, for those that were left
as guards may NOT be passed until after a period of their regeneration in the
Mount, or the fifth root race begins.
(5748-6; July 1, 1932)
It is really astonishing
that Dr. Lehner is unaware of what paw the connecting chambers are located
beneath the Sphinx. All the Cayce reading quotes that I used in this bulletin
were gleaned from an invaluable resource of Cayce readings: The Egyptian
Heritage, published in 1974 by the ARE Press and authored by none other than
our very own Mark Lehner.
