CANNOT IMPROVE PERFECTION
I sometimes wonder why the fabled "pyramid age" of ancient Egypt (Kemet) reached a peak in the Old Kingdom? 4th and 5th dynasties?
Implicit in pyramid conception and construction is a spiritual mind set.
One that acknowledges divinity . One that celebrates connectivity. One that is perfectly organized and perfectly oriented in space, time, matter, energy, gravity, intuition.
The mind set ascended down and percolated up from the Nile River.
Such an extraordinary attainment represents, indeed embodies the perfection of a United people: in their mathematics, engineering, quarrying, transportation, building techniques and technologies, food production , processing, storage, preparation, distribution, and the command, housing, compensation of tens of thousands of skilled and common laborers over decades of building under the hot desert sun.
And what of the Sphinx? It is even thousands of years older than the pyramids? Its enigmatic image of an African ruler's visage encased in the body of a lion. Its high cheek bones, broad nose, thick lips, the ideal of beauty having been too much for later invaders, occupiers.
These cultural truants were they who bombarded the face of the eternal Sphinx with cannon fire in an attempt to obliterate its "ugly" glares, accusingly staring at them.
Who were these cultural truants? The French blame the British. The British blame the French . And yet earlier than either of these truants were the 13th century's Muslim rulers who blasted away as well. It may be that they all have blasted!
Perhaps, to answer many earlier question, the pyramids peaked in the 4th and 5th dynasty because: "To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose to under the heaven" Eccl. 3:1-8; that scripture itself is from ancient times. The Sphinx and the pyramids were built to remain to stare , to glare as indelible witnesses of African excellence to any future cultural truants, whosoever, be they indigenous or invader truants !
One cannot improve upon perfection!
