The Great Pyramid Is A Replica Of Mt. Meru





The above analysis discloses a fact of fundamental importance. The Great Pyramid is, itself,
a replica of Mt. Meru as a representation of the Holy Mountain of Paradise.



FIGURE 1
The Seal of Shamash represents
the Holy Mountain seen from above

This Holy Mountain is located at the center of the world, right at the spot where Atlas — or,
more exactly, the Serpent Shesha, his Hindu archetype — supports up the skies, as a sort
of tent above the earth. Hence, the Holy Mountain is indeed Mt. Atlas. More correctly, this
mountain is identical with Mt. Meru, the Holy Mountain of Paradise of the Hindus from which
all such replicas were originally copied.

The pyramids and, particularly, the Great Pyramid, was called M'R in Egyptian. As the Egyptians
never wrote the vowels of the words, very likely the word M'R was indeed pronounced MeRu,
precisely the name of the Holy Mountain that was its archetype. Likewise the temples and
even the Christian churches and cathedrals — built right on top the stake driven into the
head of the Naga that represents Shesha — also represent the Holy Mountain, that is, Mt.
Atlas or Meru. Since this serpent is no other than Atlas, the temple built above the Standing
Serpent represents the Holy Mountain of Paradise which, in turn, symbolizes the world being
supported by the Titan Atlas. Anyone who takes the trouble to study a little bit closer the
Hindu symbolism of the Holy Mountain Meru and that of the world-supporting naga, the Serpent Shesha, will immediately recognize its fundamental identity with the ones pointed out here.

The Great Pyramid had its four faces indented at the middle, so as to form a Cross or a four-
sided star as seen from above. These indentations formed a sort of giant troughs theoretically
intended to concentrate and drain the rain waters that fell over the Great Pyramid. As it seldom
(or never) rains in the region of Egypt (a desert), the real function of these troughs is purely
symbolic, and is obviously quite another.

In reality, pyramids represent the shape of Mt. Meru, itself pyramidal and indented at the center
of its four faces like the Great Pyramid. These troughs and their waters correspond to the Four
Rivers of Hindu Paradise which flow from the top of the Holy Mountain along the four Cardinal Directions. This shape is also the classical one of Eden, as described in the Bible and in works
such as these of Flavius Josephus.

The Judeo-Christian Paradise was visibly copied from Indian traditions, which are identical, but
are far older than Judaea itself. The same symbolism is found even more explicitly in ancient Mesopotamia, where the so-called "Seal of Shamash" represents the Holy Mountain of Paradise
as an indented pyramid seen from above, with the wavy lines of the four rivers descending
along troughs indented on the middles of the four faces, as shown in Fig. 1. This figure repro-
duces a very ancient Sumerian seal, and the motif originally dates from about 3,000 BC or
possibly even earlier. The indentations in question transform the pyramids into stars, and
indeed allude to the Pole Star rather than the Sun. They are a feature not only of the Egyptian pyramids or their Babylonian counterparts just discussed, but also figure, say, in the Chinese
pyramids which we discuss elsewhere.
