THE PYRAMIDS of the COLD • Chapter 55 The Churning of the waters of the Ocean of milk (Hindu mythology) is about the endless pounding of the waters of the inclined well

In summary: we've seen in previous Chapters that the Great Pyramid of Giza was (most probably) designed to cool down overheating chemical manufacturing of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate, using the power of water that first needed to be pressurized by an impactor, over and over, most probably for days, maybe weeks or even months. At the time, sodium carbonate was called natron, and it was the salt used for the mummification of the pharaohs. Manufactured 100% pure natron, made by magic science gave to pharaohs eternal life. Natron made them immortals.

The amazing thing is that every single aspect of what I've just described here, is actually the core of one of the most important myth of the ancient World. The problem is that it is not originating from ancient Egypt, but from the Hindu mythology: it is the myth about Shiva and the "Churning of the Ocean of Milk" that ends up with the production of the Amrita, "the nectar of immortal life".

55.01  The Churning of the Ocean (Hindu) and the Sema Tawy (Egypt) are the same representation

We'll come back later on this subject, but honestly, how comes nobody is mentioning the fact that the two above illustrations are actually not just similar, but identical in their structure?

55.03  The 1800's Romanticism misguided and fantasized vision of the ancient World

I hesitated a long time before writing down this Chapter, because the more things I discover about the ancient World, the most opposition I'll get. Everything we know of the ancient times has to be revisited, completely revisited. The problem about this period is that everything that has been written on the subject, is only based on the first assumptions made in the early 1800's: nothing had been proved wrong, nothing had been modified. Every historian simply added his own layer over the initial description of the ancient World.

The original sin about historians from the 1800's is that they fantasized an entire vision of the ancient World with very few data but with the boundless Romanticism ideology of their time. This fantasy has been in progress for more than 200 years now and it is still in effect today.

How could the Great Pyramid be a tomb for a pharaoh when there is absolutely no decoration and no hieroglyph anywhere in the structure? How the granite "sarcophagus" could have been designed for the pharaoh's body when there is, again no decoration nor hieroglyph anywhere on it? How could Nut be the goddess of the sky when her emblem is a water pot?

If the Great Pyramid would have been designed as a tomb, there would have been a town built all around it, so that people could worship and protect the pharaoh anytime. Nobody will ever have accepted to let pharaoh all alone in the dark at night when everybody else would stay together, secured inside the town boundaries, something like one kilometer away from him. Paraphrasing a popular expression "The church must be at the centre of village life".

55.04  What kind of structure do we build away from the city center?

Production plants and industrial zones. And that is precisely what the Great Pyramid was: a Solvay plant for sodium carbonate (natron) and sodium bicarbonate manufacturing. Today, we are in 2025 and the vision of the ancient World is the exact same one that has been fantasized in the 1800's, when at the same time, every other field of Human knowledge has been corrected and improved about a thousand times. What are we waiting for to truly pay tribute to our ancestors?

55.02  A profound Change of Civilization Event that impacted the whole ancient World

We've already seen in previous Chapters about ancient Egyptian god Bes, that the Great Pyramid had a tremendous impact outside Egyptian borders: modern Maori rugby players performing the Haka ceremonial dance are actually reproducing everything about Bes: 1/ His unmovable posture, 2/ His tongue out (the spitting metaphor), and 3/ His controversial cutting of the head gesture, because Bes was a metaphoric representation of the wedging block that immobilized the Taweret block, the sealing block at the bottom of the inclined well when the pyramid was in operation before the draining of the well shutdown procedure.

What ancient Egyptians accomplished during the first four Dynasties was a profound Change of Civilization Event: the whole world heard about it. It must have been so powerful and inspiring that it would have impacted ancient mythologies all over the world, like it has in what is now New-Zealand and the Maori culture.

But ancient Egyptian accomplishments in physics and chemistry also had to inspire other civilizations in the ancient World, and it really is what happened in ancient Asia: the "Churning of the Ocean of Milk" and the Shiva Lingams of the Hindu mythology are directly inspired by the Great Pyramid of Giza, and they are still worshiped today by hundreds of millions of people.

55.06  The copy-paste similarities between ancient Egypt and Hindu mythology #1: the Thousand Lingas river

The impact and influence of ancient Egypt spread all over the world, as demonstrated by the above flooded carving in the "thousand Lingas river" in Cambodia. The similarities with the Egyptian "offering table amulet" are striking, even the 5 discs inside the structure are a perfect match. If we look closely, the 8 items on the "table" (2 baboons, 2 "masts", 2 dogs, one frog and one man) are also corresponding to the 8 outer discs on the Hindu interpretation.

The creation of Brahma. In Vaishnava Puranic scriptures, Brahma emerges on a lotus from Vishnu's navel as Vishnu (Mahavishnu) creates the cosmic cycle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahma#/media/File:Sheshashayi_Vishnu.jpg

55.07  The copy-paste similarities between Hindu mythology and ancient Egypt #2: Vishnu sitting onto a great snake that form some kind of a protective cavern and with water all around, just like for Egyptian god of the Nile Hapi

On the above image, this is Vishnu who is kind of sitting onto the body of a great snake and positioned like he is protected by it inside some kind of a cavern, with water all around. It is a very specific representation, but Egyptians have already used the exact same one with Hapi, the god of the Nile, in a relief in the Isis temple at Philae. The god, the protective cavern made of snake, and the water. Again, this is the exact same scene that is depicted here, whether it comes from the Hindu mythology or the Egyptian religion. The only difference, is that Hindu mythology is showing a lot more than its original Egyptian counterpart: water is indeed represented just like it really is, without the use of any metaphor. That is something we've already seen many times now: ancient Egyptians tried very hard to represent everything metaphorically, when the other civilizations around us didn't try that hard.

In short, because of this extraordinary image representing the creation of Brahma, we can posit that Hindu god Vishnu is nothing but the reinterpretation of Egyptian god of the Nile, Hapi. Vishnu = Hapi.

Everything about the "Churning of the Ocean" Hindu myth is inspired by ancient Egyptian God of the Nile Hapy, who was creating a snake out of his own water. The snake in the Churning of the Ocean is Vasuki, Lord Shiva's snake. "Vāsuki took part in the incident of Samudra manthana by allowing both the devas and the asuras to bind him to Mount Mandara, so that they could use him as their churning rope to extract the Amrita from the ocean of milk". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasuki

55.08  The copy-paste similarities between ancient Egypt and Hindu mythology #3 in the Churning of the Ocean of Milk: the Egyptian Sema tawy iconic scene is at least partially about the churning of the waters of the well

We've seen that the entire ancient Egyptian religion was only about the glorification of scientific and technological accomplishments in physics and chemistry, and that the whole story could be summarized as follows: natron was manufactured for the mummification of the pharaohs in order to assure him eternal life, and the key point of the process was the cooling of the chemical manufacturing reactions. Water was used for the cooling, but not directly: evaporative cooling was created after the pressurization of the water of the inclined well of the Great Pyramid, using an impactor, endlessly pounding the waters.

The fact is that everything I've just said here, actually does appear in one single myth that every historian knows about. But there is a catch, a little twist: this myth doesn't come from Egypt, but from Hinduism, and it is the Churning of the Ocean of Milk, the Samudra Manthana.

And that is the most important part of this chapter: because the Egyptian Sema Tawy (with Hapi) and the Hindu Churning of the ocean are the exact same scene, then it means that the Sema Tawy itself is also (at least partially) about the endless pounding of the waters of the inclined well. Most probably, the full meaning of the Sema tawy is much more complex than just being about the churning of the waters of the well wit the impactor, but at least it is a beginning of its full understanding.

55.09  The Churning of the Ocean of Milk: summary of the myth

"Hindu history also contains a story about the churning of the Cosmic Ocean in order to obtain Amrita – the nectar of immortal life. At the suggestion of Vishnu, the devas and asuras churn the primeval ocean in order to obtain Amrita which will guarantee them immortality. To churn the ocean they used the Serpent, Vasuki, for their churning-string. For a churning pole they used Mount Mandara placed on the back of a Great Tortoise – the Kurma Avatar of Vishnu. As the gods and demons churned the sea, the terrible poison Halahala issued from its depths and began to envelop the universe with its choking fumes. Gasping for breath, the devas and asuras sought the help of Shiva, who valiantly took the poison into his throat and swallowed it. Shocked by his heroic act, the Goddess Parvati grasped him by the throat, trapping the poison there and preventing it from spreading; but, such was the strength of the poison, that it turned his neck blue, thereby earning him the name of Neelakantha (blue-throated one)."   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kshira_Sagara

The lotus flower, in Hindu mythology and Egyptian religion, isn't about the flower of the lotus, but it's seed head that resembles to a shower head. This is why Brahma is emerging from the lotus flower, and why the Dendera Light is emerging from the flower as well. [illustrations] "In Vaishnava Puranic scriptures, Brahma emerges on a lotus flower from Vishnu's navel as Vishnu (Mahavishnu) creates the cosmic cycle. Shaivite texts describe that Shiva told Vishnu to create, Shiva ordered Vishnu to make Brahma": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahma. Dendera Light photograph thanks to kairoinfo4u and posted on flickr:   https://www.flickr.com/photos/manna4u/14525094039/in/photostream/

55.10  The lotus flower is actually about what it becomes: the lotus seed head that resembles to a shower head

Again, because everything leads us to believe that the Hindu mythology is nothing but a complete reinterpretation of what happened in ancient Egypt at the time of the very first pharaohs, Hindus have also incorporated the lotus flower into their own mythology. Egyptians had used the lotus flower to glorify metaphorically the fog nozzle of the Great Pyramid, not because of the flower, but because of the lotus seed head that resembles perfectly, in pretty much every aspect you can think of, in a very modern shower head; simply because, well what do you think? 4,500 years ago the same exact shower head was already used, whether it’s use was restricted to the rulers of the country or available to everybody. What do we really know?

So here, Hindus have represented the lotus flower as well, and if it is Brahma who is emerging from the lotus flower, it is because Brahma is nothing but the Hindu reinterpretation of the Dendera Light. In short, Brahma is the fog of microdroplets. This is only water that is emerging from the lotus flower; just not any kind of water.

"Brahma (Sanskrit: ब्रह्मा, romanized: Brahmā) is a Hindu god, referred to as "The Creator" within the Trimurti, the trinity of supreme divinity that includes Vishnu, and Shiva. He is associated with creation, knowledge, and the Vedas. Brahma is prominently mentioned in creation legends." Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahma

God Brahma emerging from the novel of Shiva, through a lotus flower. The veneration and obsession of Hindus about the lotus flower isn' about the flower, but about it's seed head, just like for ancient Egyptians: it is about a fog nozzle.

55.11  The Churning of the Ocean of Milk: the overheating and sequential cooling with water drops

"When gods and demons started churning the Ocean of Milk to obtain the elixir of life (Amrita), the first thing that came out of it was Halahala or Kalakuta. It is a very lethal poison. This poison is so dangerous that it could annihilate all the creation. Therefore, gods and demons requested Lord Shiva to drink it, as he was the only one who could do it. Lord Shiva granted their request and drank the poison, but if the poison had spread in his body, it would have been very painful for him. Therefore, Goddess Parvati stopped the poison at his throat before it entered his body by placing her hands over. Even though the Halahala is in the throat of Lord Shiva, it produces a lot of heat in his body. Therefore, Lord Vishnu ordered gods to pour water on Lord Shiva to reduce the heat in his body. Therefore, to reduce heat in his body and soothe his pain, a vessel full of water is always hung over a Shiva Linga, and water drops 24×7 on it." https://www.hinduismfacts.org/why-are-water-drops-made-to-drip-on-a-shiva-linga/

This is a perfect metaphoric description of the overheating Solvay process that ancient Egyptians had to face off: to produce the substance that would give immortal life to pharaoh (like the Amrita elixir of life), they designed the Great Pyramid to create cold, using the power of water in a magical way: evaporative cooling. It is important to note that the cooling was not continuous: it was a sequential process. Maybe every 15 minutes or so, the impactor pressurized the waters of the inclined well and created the cold, probably for weeks or months.

What is incredible is that the Churning of the Ocean myth is perfectly accurate also on this particular aspect: it is not said that water had to be constantly poured on a Shiva Linga, but only drop after drop and 24x7.

55.12  The 'uprooted Mount Mandara' is about the Great Pyramid that is made of quarried and transported blocks of stone

There is another one of these fantastic metaphors that ancients have used, whether they were originating from ancient Egypt or ancient India: the ‘uprooted mountain’ metaphor. Because one beautiful way of glorifying a building made of blocks of stone, whether it is the Great Pyramid or not, is precisely to describe this building as made of an uprooted mountain: you cut the mountain down in multiple blocks, and you rebuild it elsewhere.

In the following excerpt, "Mount Mandara was used as the churning rod" indicates that Mount Mandara is actually about the Great Pyramid, the 'uprooted mountain' that had been used to perform this fantastic act of 'churning' the waters of the inclined well. This is the exact same idea that is illustrated in the above image, depicting god of the Nile Hapi in his cavern, again made of a snake. Hapi and the snake, they are both about water, whether it is water from the Nile or not that was used in the Great Pyramid (see previous Chapters).

"The Samudra Manthana (Sanskrit: समुद्रमन्थन; lit. 'churning of the ocean') is a major episode in Hindu mythology that is elaborated in the Vishnu Purana, a major text of Hinduism. The Samudra Manthana explains the origin of the elixir of eternal life, amrita. The churning of the Ocean of Milk was an extensive process: Mount Mandara was uprooted and used as the churning rod." Also: "While carrying the massive mountain, several devas and asuras fell to their deaths and some perished due to sheer exhaustion." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samudra_Manthana

55.13  The creation of a fog is the culmination of the most important Hindu ritual: the ash ritual

If you haven't already seen a traditional Hindu ritual, well I guess you're probably gonna be stunned, almost shocked, amazed and fascinated, like I was the first time I discovered this kind of ritual were still performed today. The above screenshot comes from a video where ash is thrown upon a Shiva Linga, so that a cloud of ash is created and fills the entire sanctum.

I may be wrong here, but I think that this cloud of ashes, that is the culmination of the entire ritual, is produced in the sole purpose to recreate the mist of microdroplets that was created into the Horizontal passage of the Great Pyramid to create evaporative cold. In other words, the meaning of the Ash Ritual, is not to put any ash onto the Shiva Linga, but to create the ash cloud in the air. That explains why the Shiva Linga (or Shivlinga) is veiled with a cloth for that part of the ritual: the ashes are only meant to fill the air.

The whole point of the Churning of the Ocean / Churning of the waters of the inclined well, was to produce that mist, that fog, that cloud. Ancient Egyptians have represented this fog in the Dendera temples in its original oblong shape, the Dendera Light bulbs, and Hindus are reproducing it the best they can, with ashes. Please, watch the video (this is a very short one, about one minute).

55.14  "Bhasm Aarti at Mahakaleshwar, Ujjain. A Divine Experience not to be Missed"*

"Ujjain, located on the banks of river Shipra is a beautiful temple town and home to one of the 12 jyotirlingas- Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga. The word Mahakaleshwar means 'the lord of time' and according to Hindu beliefs, Lord Shiva is the God of time. A unique ritual associated with the temple is Bhasm Aarti which begins every day at 4 am. People from all walks of life visit Ujjain with a desire of beholding this lifetime experience. The early morning peaceful and calm environment at the temple is what fills you with immense positivity. In the past, Bhasm Aarti was performed with ash from the first funeral pyre cremated at night. But with the changing times, this practice has changed and fresh ash is prepared from cow dung.  

The process begins with the 'Abhishek' or the ritual bath of the shivling then smearing it with multiple offerings like curd, honey, sandal paste and finally cleaning it with milk and water. Further, the Shivling is decorated with elaborate arrangements of flowers and especially the Bel leaves that are considered to be very dear to Lord Shiva are also offered. The process however doesn't end here. There is more to witness even before the ash ritual is performed. Through the application of various substances, the shivlinga is transformed into a divine face and then further embellished with garlands.

After this hour-long process of bathing and decorating the idol comes the most-awaited and interesting part associated with this first aarti of the day. The entire shivlinga is veiled with a cloth in a manner that the decoration is not disturbed. Thereafter, the head priest swings the ash-filled pouch on the shivling. The entire sanctum is filled with clouds of ash covering the shivling in the grey dust. This process of sprinkling ash on the Shivling lasts a minute. This is followed by performing Aarti with lit oil lamps, the clanging of bells, and the chants of 'Om Namah Shivay' and 'Har Har Mahadev'. When you are able to witness this entire process and the aarti starts, you just feel that you have experienced one of the most beautiful things in life."

55.15  The Bhasm Aarti at Ujjain's Mahakaleshwar Temple*

"Mahakaleshwar temple at Ujjain, in the Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh, is an important pilgrimage place for Hindus as it's said to be one of the 12 Jyotirlingas (most sacred abodes of Shiva). It's also regarded as one of the top 10 Tantra temples of India, and has the only bhasm aarti (ash ritual) of its kind in the world. The unique thing about this aarti is the inclusion of bhasm, which is ash from funeral pyres, as one of the offerings. Mahakaleshwar is a name for Lord Shiva and means the god of Time or Death. This may be one of the reasons for the inclusion of the funeral ash.

The entire aarti lasts for about 45 minutes to an hour. The first part of the aarti, while the shringar is done, is sublime and well worth the scramble. However, the actual bhasm part — which is often hyped to no end — lasts only about a minute and a half. During this crucial minute and a half that you wait to watch from 2 a.m., women are asked to cover their eyes. It's important to note that the bhasm being used is no longer from funeral pyres but actually just vibhuti – the sacred ash used in most temples, sometimes made from powdered cow dung. After the Lord is adorned in the bhasm, the actual aarti begins, with the offering of the lamps. The aarti is usually accompanied by chants of praises to the Lord."

55.16  Are the four holy months of Chaturmas referring to the operating time of the Great Pyramid?

If everything about Hindu mythology has been built on the ancient Egyptian operating of the Great Pyramid, maybe it is gonna be possible to find some clues on how long and when was the pyramid really operated, in other words, how long and when was the evaporative cold created.

Contrary to ancient Egyptians, Hindus didn't hide things so much : they didn't hide the fact that everything was centered on water. In Hindu mythology, everything is about water. During rituals, including the Bhasm Aarti at Ujjain's Mahakaleshwar Temple, water is poured on the Shiva Linga many times and some Lingas had even been carved in the rocky bottom of some sacred rivers.

Hindu mythology is also perfectly describing the functioning of the inclined well with the Churning of the Ocean metaphor. So, when I stumbled on the Chaturmas thing, I got pretty interested.

Beginning the day of Harishayini Ekadashi in June/July, Hindus in Nepal and India mark a special period dedicated to Lord Vishnu and his embodiments for the next four months until the day of Haribodhini Ekadashi in October/November, and it is known as the Chaturmas (literally, four months). Source : onlinekhabar.com

What if these 4 holy months are referring to the actual operating time of the Great Pyramid? From a strict calendar point of view, it would be possible, because we know that the pyramid was supplied exclusively with the water of the Nile during the annual inundation, and that this inundation started in July, like the Chaturmas does today.

55.17  How long and how many times was the Great Pyramid functioning?

The question now would be to know if the Great Pyramid was used just one single time for a period of about 4 months, or on the contrary, if it was operated for many years. Personally, and because the pyramid had such an enormous impact on the ancient World (the Maoris and the Hindus, at least), I'll tend to rule out the unique operating time hypothesis. In my opinion, it is even possible that the pyramid was used over many generations. It doesn't imply that the operating occurred every year, but why not every single pharaoh, had to operate the pyramid at least one time during his kingdom, to prove that he was legitimate to rule Egypt?
