Preface – An Introduction to Giza

The three large pyramids in Giza (also called Gizeh), along with their sentinel, the Sphinx, are breathtaking wonders of the ancient world that are wrapped in mystery. These structures were built upon a slightly raised plateau on the edge of the present-day Egyptian metropolis of Cairo. Constructed with incredible precision, they are precisely aligned with the four cardinal points—specific stellar alignments—and are based on mathematical formulas and geometric shapes that still astonish modern science. Though contemporary Egyptologists attribute the building of these structures to the Pharaonic dynasties, beginning around 3000 B.C., there are many indications that they are essentially older, originating from a civilization before our time reckoning.

Today’s academic literature still offers no credible explanation of how these ingenious buildings could have been constructed in the Pharaonic era around 2500 B.C. Moreover, to the present day, there is yet to be found one shred of evidence or record that the pharaohs Cheops (Khufu), Chephren (Khaf-re) or Mykerinos (Men-kau-re) were responsible for the building of these unique structures for which they are generally given credit. Why do Egyptologists across the board insist that they did? Sources outside of traditional Egyptology postulate that they were built by an even older, more advanced civilization that possessed greater knowledge.

Whether you approach this question as a sober scientist or as a spiritual seeker, anyone who studies Giza will come across the imposing figure of the ancient Egyptian god Thoth (Djehuty)— the legendary Atlantean. That is what happened to me. The more I learned about him and the stories told about him, the more I became fascinated with Thoth. Who was he? What do we know about him? What significance does Thoth have for present-day Giza research? These may be bold questions, since we naturally often tend to discount the ancient tales. By doing so, we trivialize them right from the start. But are we missing out on great opportunities in the process? What if these records and legacies contain messages that remain valid today? Thoth does not make it easy for us. He specifically provokes us with a claim that may seem presumptuous to many.

In Michael Doreal’s translation of the Emerald Tablets of Thoth-the-Atlantean, Thoth said: “
“I, THOTH, the Atlantean, master of mysteries, keeper of records, mighty king, magician, living from generation to generation, being about to pass into the Halls of Amenti, set down for the guidance of those that are to come after, these records of the mighty wisdom of Great Atlantis… Builded I the Great Pyramid, patterned after the pyramid of earth force, burning eternally so that it, too, might remain through the ages. In it, I built my knowledge of ‘Magic-Science’ so that I might be here when again I return from Amenti.”

Could Thoth be the builder of the pyramids? That would mean that the pyramids are thousands of years older than researchers have ever estimated! I decided, in the unbiased spirit of Heinrich Schliemann on his quest to find Troy, to rule out nothing.
This enabled me to massively expand the foundation of our explorations in Giza. We could now also make use of ancient tales, myths and legends as sources and inspiration. The more I searched, the more the inconsistencies between the sources showed me that the secrets of Giza could only be decoded if I allowed myself to literally be inspired by the spirit of Thoth and other great figures from ancient days, like Plato. When I allowed this to happen, the results were quite impressive. All my senses grew sharper and I was able to perceive the structure of Giza in an entirely new light. Only now was I prepared to descend into the depths. I learned that to say “Thank Thoth” was not an exaggeration.

With this book, we intend to specifically draw attention to three facts. First, we document that the megalithic structures in Giza and the subterranean complexes found there are proof of a Pre-dynastic culture and that in all probability are a legacy of the Atlanteans. Second, we take a look at the latest discovery of chambers in and below the pyramids and the Sphinx. Third, we determine that a massive new wall is being built surrounding the Giza complex (in the direction of Saqqara).

While the wall construction has been referred to as “nothing special” or as a “protective measure” by the authorities in Giza, this book clearly shows that this is a superficial argument intended to deflect attention from the wall’s actual purpose. After all, it leads far out into the desert, which can only mean one thing: those building it know that the subterranean complex is much larger than the structures on the surface.
The building of the new Giza wall shows that certain powers are attempting to bring back the past, while also trying to design the future according to their own concepts. For the past several years, these interest groups have attempted to reach the underground complexes, halls and artifacts. Their secret diggings threaten to break into what may very well be significant underground areas. Nevertheless, at least part of the legacy remains waiting to be discovered and recovered with far less effort than is currently being applied (with the wall construction and the official and hidden research and excavations).

According to the ancient tales, the legacy can only be accessed if the discovery is made in the interest of all humankind. It makes sense that we discovered part of this subterranean complex unintentionally before the “secret treasure hunters” were able to find it. Giza Legacy is intended as a contribution to the improved understanding of the wonders of the ancient world at Giza. We seek to inform the general public about the building of the Giza wall and call attention to the interest groups behind it in order to prevent the damage being done from becoming too great. This holy place and its buildings must be treated very carefully, because this is where the Giza legacy, left to us by our ancestors, lies waiting for us all…

I have sought to confirm that the ancient tales about Memphis are true. Through my own experiences in Giza and Saqqara, I discovered that there are other world wonders to be found beneath the surface in underground complexes! I saw part of this complex myself. We also know that others are trying to unearth this information as well and some have already progressed quite far.

Clearly, inside and beneath the pyramids in Giza there are many more passages and buildings than have been previously discovered and officially reported by the Egyptologists. We provide detailed descriptions of our visits in this book. Construction of the aboveground structures began approximately 14,000 B.C. and was completed about 1,000 years later.
One section of the underground structure is even older and can be traced back to the Lemurians, an advanced civilization who preceded the Atlanteans.

In Giza Legacy, we lead you deep beneath the surface of the desert to the legendary Hall of Records and through our “human history on Earth.” We begin with the structures to be found both aboveground and belowground, and reach back to before recorded history— as far back as 30,000 years before Christ—to provide the key to the understanding of Giza by exploring history and science in the past and up to the present day.
It is astonishing to read how harmonically the various chapters and fields of knowledge come together to form a new, updated and holistic picture.

The cultures that were able to perform such feats of construction in the distant past were anything but primitive and must have had an even deeper understanding of physics than we have today. This knowledge meant and still means power; therefore, certain interest groups have joined and agreed—at least it would seem, based on the scientific research conducted in the Giza district in recent years—that something important is to be found there.

In Giza, as well as in South America, the legacy of the ancient advanced cultures is visible in the form of giant pyramids. However, what if the essence of the megalithic complexes were to be found beneath the ground, and what if the pyramids are just the tip of the iceberg? Then it could be proven once and for all that prehistoric advanced cultures really did exist and that our history must be fundamentally rewritten.
The ancient Egyptian schools of mystery say that the world wonder of Giza is not limited to what can be seen above the surface. This secret remains alive even after thousands of years, and increasing numbers of experts from a variety of scientific fields are coming to believe it.
So what we view today as an ancient civilization may actually have been preceded by even earlier, more advanced cultures. This fact alone would have far-reaching consequences for archaeology, changing our understanding of pre-Sumerian history (which is officially viewed as the first civilization), as well as for the way we see ourselves, because it means that humans are not just the result of evolution, or merely just well-developed descendents of primates. Our existence would receive a new, higher meaning, because spiritual enlightenment, which runs through all the world’s religions, would start from a new perspective of reality.

With this book, we seek to document the wondrous place called Giza along with the current state of discoveries and findings from various scientific fields. We describe the subterranean structures and, probably for the first time, the additional chambers to be found in the Great Pyramid and the underground complex. This results in an enhanced picture of Giza and our history, which we explain in detail, and in the outlook, we shed light on the new, interdisciplinary Giza research.
We do all this with the greatest respect both for what is one of the most mysterious places on Earth and for the Egyptian people. Our friends and acquaintances there have often asked us to share what they know and what we have learned—particularly about the wall construction, which represents a great problem for the local residents because the entrance to the Giza district is being relocated.

With this book, we hope to make it impossible to continue hiding the historical and scientific findings in and about Giza in order to ensure that the vital legacy to be found there cannot be kept secret or misused. Under the right circumstances, we would be prepared to contribute to the further investigation of Giza with our findings and experiences.
