The Pyramids of the Cold v2 (May 2023) • Part B: the inclined well of the Great Pyramid

Section 12 • The beating Heart of the Pyramid

In summary: the way ancient Egyptians have represented, glorified and deified the  operation of the inclined well of the Great Pyramid, and the metaphors that have been used, really are mind blowing: not only the inclined well had been referred to a beating heart, but another metaphor had been added onto this first one, to associate this beating heart with love itself. Many metaphors about the operation of the Pyramid are about human physiology, and the "Love" metaphor is one of them, just like we've already seen with the "masturbatory hands of Atum" (the endless movement of the two parts of the Hauling beetle that are creating Atum himself: the small amount of pressurized water ejected from the well), this is the endless movement of the impactor Horus, in and out of the waters of the well, which had been associated with sexual intercourse; hence to Love making and Love itself.

Because of the heart shape in the Sema Tawy representations, it is precisely this very shape in which is originating the Heart symbol; but it is also about all these Heart and Love metaphors of the inclined well, that Cupid himself is shooting arrows in the Heart. Cupid really is about ancient Egyptian god Horus: Cupid really is about the inclined well's operation and the endless up (golden arrow: attraction) and down (lead arrow: repulsion) movement of the impactor.

12.01  The loss of knowledge of the Heart symbol's origin

Many theories are trying to explain the origin of the Heart symbol by its resemblance with the shape of ivy leaves, Silphium seed pod, breasts, buttocks or other parts of the human anatomy.

But it can't be that simple, because if it was, nothing would explain why the knowledge of the origin would have been lost over time, and on Valentine's Day, we wouldn't offer roses to the loved one but ivy leaves or Silphium seed pods.

If it was that simple, the real meaning of the heart symbol would have easily been transmitted from one generation to another.

12.02  The ancient Egyptian anatomical point of view of the inclined well functioning

What is striking about the above images that inspired Hindu mythology for the Churning of the Ocean representations, is that there is what looks like a perfect Heart symbol.

The fact is that if it looks like a Heart symbol, it is only because it really is the origin of the Heart symbol.

The Churning of the Ocean representations are the key to understand the ancient Egyptian initial version: the churning is about the pounding of the inclined well waters by the impactor. It is about the inclined well. Hindu mythology is looking at the well from the outside point of view, and they included the impactor, but the ancient Egyptians didn't: they looked at the well from an anatomical point of view.

Ancient Egyptians looked at the inclined well like it was a functioning living heart; a heart that was beating every 15 minutes; a heart that was ejecting about 200 liters of pressurized water towards the evaporative cooling passage of the Great Pyramid.

12.03  The inclined well functioning true origin of the Heart symbol

I may have written in previous posts (before "The Pyramids of the Cold"), that the Grand Gallery was seen as the heart of the Great Pyramid, because it was in the gallery where all the physical work was done: the Grand Gallery was the place of the so-called "Underworld sacred act of towing". The Grand Gallery was the "Hauling cavern of the Underworld".

But if I did, I was obviously wrong: the Heart of the Great Pyramid, as seen by ancient Egyptians themselves, was the inclined well. And that is the origin of the Heart symbol.

If the knowledge of the origin of the Heart symbol was lost somewhere in time, it is because the knowledge of what really was the Great Pyramid was lost in the first place.

12.04  The true nature of the ancient Egyptian Heart symbol look alike

I don't know what really is representing what looks like the heart symbol here, it could be as simple as 2 pouches of water that are just here so that the 2 characters could show they were pressurizing water with their feet, but it could also be a representation of a real important part of the well, I really don't know.

12.05  Was 42 the daily Heart rate of the Great Pyramid of Egypt?

We'll see in The Weighing of the Heart Section that when ancient Egyptians were talking about the Heart, they were referring to the heart of the Great Pyramid: the inclined well that functioned like a beating heart.

In the crucial Spell 125 of the Egyptian Book of the Dead it is mentioned that the deceased person has to make a Negative Confession: "The Negative Confession (also known as The Declaration of Innocence) is a list of 42 sins which the soul of the deceased can honestly say it has never committed when it stands in judgment in the afterlife."

https://www.worldhistory.org/The_Negative_Confession/

Knowing that the whole Heart thing is about the inclined well, this number of 42 could be a very important data.

For some time know I evaluated the entire operating cycle duration of the Hauling beetle at something between 10 and 15 minutes, most of that time used to haul the impactor from its resting floating position in the well, up to the upper part of the Grand Gallery next to the top platform.

Let's say the entire team of the Grand Gallery was working 10 hours a day, from 8 am to 6 pm. With a 10 minutes cycle, it would have been possible for them to complete 60 cycles; and with a 15 minutes cycle that number comes down to 40 cycles.

It means that working 10 hours a day, the Hauling beetle could have been able to complete 42 complete cycles of a little less of 15 minutes each, assuming the Beetle was never stopped being operated and that the crewmembers would have been regularly relayed.

In short, 42 cycles could have been the daily objective of the Hauling beetle crewmembers.

42 could have been the daily Heart rate of the Great Pyramid of Egypt (highly hypothetical).

12.06  The creation of the myths about the inclined well

It is very hard to imagine what really looked like the pyramid when operated, but certainly as I've already discussed many times in posts previous to 'The Pyramids of the Cold', the Great Pyramid wouldn't have been completed; it would have pretty much looked like the lower part of the Bent Pyramid, and if this Bent Pyramid is precisely in 2 parts, it must certainly has to be related to that lower Great Pyramid part for cold production.

But if the impactor hit the waters of the well every 15 minutes and if the Grand Gallery was somehow close to be in midair, the sound of the whole thing would have been heard probably kilometers away.

Everybody in ancient Giza would have been able to hear it, 10 hours a day, every 15 minutes for months or even years. Residents of Giza would have heard it but also everybody coming to Giza from foreign countries : visitors, merchants, domestic and foreign dignitaries, etc.

Of course, the biggest impression would have been caused by the breaking of the Bes wedging block and the release of the Taweret block resulting in the tremendous shock with the Savior block (granite plug #2).

Everybody heard it, and everybody talked about it. This is how the inclined well inspired so many myths in the ancient World.

12.07  Amazingly, Cupid is directly related to ancient Egyptian god Horus (the impactor of the Great Pyramid)

"The Harpokrates-Cupid figure illustrates the Roman appropriation of certain aspects of Egyptian religion during the Republican and Imperial periods. In Roman religion, Harpokrates, the child of Horus and Isis, was conflated with Cupid while his mother was conflated with Venus. This representation shows Harpokrates-Cupid wearing the crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt and lifting his finger to his lips, iconographic elements that recall his Egyptian origin.

His posture and plump child-like body resemble Roman depictions of Cupid. In the Egyptian tradition, Harpokrates’ raised finger was meant to convey the god’s youthful qualities. When this deity began to be worshipped by the Romans, his gesture was misinterpreted as symbolic of silence. The presence of Harpokrates-Cupid in the lararium would have solicited fertility and abundance within the household."

12.08  The intercourse metaphor is the reason why the Heart symbol has been associated with Love

We've already seen two metaphors about the inclined well functioning, but there is a third one that is most probably explaining the fact that the Heart symbol has been associated with love, passion and romance: the intercourse metaphor.

The endless pounding of the impactor into the waters of the well had associated it, and the curious shape that looks like a modern Heart as well, to the Love making.

Maybe this "sexual" vision of the impactor endlessly ramming into the inclined well waters wasn't conceived by the ones who designed this whole ancient Egyptian "religion", and people would simply had appropriated themselves the idea and made the Heart-like shape of the religious representations into the real Heart shape we know today.

12.09  Cupid's arrows are only about attraction and repulsion: two opposite ways of movement

Because Cupid is just another metaphoric representation of the operation of the impactor of the Great Pyramid, everything about him is about a particular point of the operation:

• the up and down movement of the impactor: the arrows represented in opposite directions in the painting, and their "attraction/repulsion" functioning

• the fact that the impactor was unseen from the outside (and with no eyes from the inside): the blind on Cupid's eyes

• the impactor aiming for the inclined well that functioned like a beating heart: the arrows pointed towards the heart of a person

"Cupid carries two kinds of arrows, or darts, one with a sharp golden point, and the other with a blunt tip of lead. A person wounded by the golden arrow is filled with uncontrollable desire, but the one struck by the lead feels aversion and desires only to flee. The use of these arrows is described by the Latin poet Ovid in the first book of his Metamorphoses. When Apollo taunts Cupid as the lesser archer, Cupid shoots him with the golden arrow, but strikes the object of his desire, the nymph Daphne, with the lead. Trapped by Apollo's unwanted advances, Daphne prays to her father, the river god Peneus, who turns her into a laurel, the tree sacred to Apollo. It is the first of several unsuccessful or tragic love affairs for Apollo."  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupid

12.10  Ptah constantly referring to the Heart is the glorification of the Heart of the Pyramid: the inclined well

We've already seen many times that the inclined well was metaphorically represented into a functioning beating heart, so when creator god Ptah is constantly referring to the Heart, he is referring to the inclined well.

In the following excerpt, Ptah is being linked to some of the ancient Egyptian gods that are referring to the evaporative cooling process: Atum and Tefnut ('tf' meaning to spit).

"He created the universe by speaking words through his Tongue (linked to the god Thoth and the goddess Tefnut) and by thoughts coming from his Heart [...]. There came into being as the heart and there came into being as the tongue ... in the form of Atem (Atum)." http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/ptah.htm

12.11  The creation of the myths about the inclined well

It is very hard to imagine what really looked like the pyramid when operated, but certainly as I've already discussed many times in posts previous to 'The Pyramids of the Cold', the Great Pyramid wouldn't have been completed; it would have pretty much looked like the lower part of the Bent Pyramid, and if this Bent Pyramid is precisely in 2 parts, it must certainly has to be related to that lower Great Pyramid part for cold production.

But if the impactor hit the waters of the well every 15 minutes and if the Grand Gallery was somehow close to be in midair, the sound of the whole thing would have been heard probably kilometers away.

Everybody in ancient Giza would have been able to hear it, 10 hours a day, every 15 minutes for most probably a period of 4 months (Section 20). Residents of Giza would have heard it but also everybody coming to Giza from foreign countries : visitors, merchants, domestic and foreign dignitaries, etc.

Of course, the biggest impression would have been caused by the breaking of the Bes wedging block and the release of the Taweret block resulting in the tremendous shock with the Savior block (granite plug #2).

Everybody heard it, and everybody talked about it. This is how the inclined well inspired so many myths in the ancient World.

When in operation, the elevation of the Great Pyramid was not finished, and it is only after the shutdown procedure and the draining of the inclined well, that the 3 granite plugs were finally close to one another.
