Synopsis
Excerpt from The Great Pyramid of Jizeh: The Plan and Object of Its Construction
Any assertion as to a discovered solution of the plan and object of this huge mass, so venerable, so covered with the mists of primeval time, must be made with very much of reserve. If it has, in its stony strength, been through the long centuries replete with instruction, easily to be read and understood by one understanding the significancy of its symbolization, he who at last solves the riddle of its language must, in self-defense, attribute the cause of solution to anything but himself, or any faculty which he may possess. It is, perhaps, the better part to consider the ability as a temporaty gift for a special purpose. The doing so has at least a merit in the possession of one well-recognized truth, viz., That many more important discoveries are made by persons of very little pretension to learning.
All that the author has in the way of information about this pyramid is contained (I) in an article in the American Quarterly Church Review for April, 1869, and (2) in the work of Professor C. Piazzi Smyth, called Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid of Jizeh.
It seems it has been thought, by many, that the pyramid was built to perpetuate a standard of measure, or, rather, standards of measure. The thought was suggested by M. Jomard, of the French expedition; afterward by the Rev. Mr. Taylor, of England, and later by Professor Smyth.
