The Great Pyramid

Referring to a period following this initial migration, but long before the building of the great pyramids, Blavatsky says that there are records which show that initiated Egyptian priests journeyed from one land to another in order to supervise the building of colossal zodiacs and other stone monuments, and earthen mounds (SD 2:750-4).* Carnac in Brittany and Stonehenge in England are two of the monuments whose original structures date from this period. (It should be borne in mind that towns, temples, and other monuments were commonly rebuilt or restored on the same sacred sites.) An Egyptian influence in still discernible in the modern name 'Carnac', which clearly resembles 'Karnak', the site of the largest and grandest surviving Egyptian temple. The name of Thoth, the Egyptian god of wisdom, survives in hundreds of Toot or Tot hills all over England. The system of measures embodied in the great pyramids of Egypt, a system based on the dimensions of the earth, is reflected in ancient monuments in many different parts of the world. For example, the sarsen ring of trilithons at Stonehenge is the same size as the Egyptian 'year circle' [5].

*This took place during the 'second subrace of the Aryan family'. Our present Aryan or Indo-European humanity is said to have evolved into a distinct root-race in Central Asia approximately one million years ago. If we divide its history into a series of subraces, each lasting 210,000 years (SD 2:435), then the third subrace began some 370,000 years ago. Since the first of these subraces was still distinctly 'Atlanto-Aryan', the third subrace can also be called the 'second subrace of the Aryan family'.
Note that the largest pyramid in the world is Cholula Pyramid in Mexico, a flat-topped structure 210 feet high, covering 45 acres. According to legend: 'In the beginning, before the light of the Sun had been created, this land (Cholula) was in obscurity and darkness . . . and immediately after the light and the Sun arose in the East, there appeared gigantic men . . . who built the said pyramid, its builders being scattered after that to all parts of the Earth.' (SD 2:276fn) This could refer to the ending of the last 'age of horror', and the return of a normal succession of day and night, which, in the latitude of Cholula, took place about 310,000 years ago.
