         The pyramid texts are poetic writings. The oldest of them
         inform us about the pharaoh’s wish to join his god Atun-
         Re in space. Egyptologists say that one must view these
         texts in a spiritual manner. But why? The pharaoh and his
         priests had detailed knowledge of traveling in space, even
         if it seems childish to us. They did not travel as ghosts;
         they traveled in a ship.

         of the sunship who will ask for help in the darkness of

         If it was not Cheops who constructed the

         Cheops very precisely and there is no room for another
         pharaoh after Cheops unknown to us. So if there is
         nobody after him, then somebody before him built the
         pyramid. But even this is unacceptable to Egyptologists
         - it is a kind of sacrilege. Maybe the historians from the
         Arabic world can help us. What do they know about the
         construction of the Great Pyramid?
