It is our contention that we are now well past an Indigo Point of exothermic core-mantle decoupling, and that we have incorrectly interpreted the heat presented by this transpiration as being caused by man’s activity alone. We now face the urgent need to detect the approach of a subsequent Tau Point Dzhanibekov oscillation in Earth’s rotation.

For decades, I was taught to view such a rotation and its resulting inundation as impossibilities, and I believed it. However, we lack the ability to distinguish a Dzhanibekov rotation from a geomagnetic pole excursion or flip. How, then, can we be so certain? My confidence in this long-held dogma has been shaken to its core.

Please note: This is a novel hypothesis. It does not involve crustal displacement, galactic or solar effects, tectonic plate shifts, fountains of the deep, floods, cosmic particulate climate change, or geomagnetic pole reversals. Unlike speculative ideas like those in the CIA’s ‘Adam and Eve Story’, this is an actual hypothesis, grounded in epistemology and the author’s decades of professional work. It should not be equated nor conflated with similar-sounding or fanciful notions.

Decades ago, as a junior consultant still wet behind the ears, I was tasked with a project to boost the profitability of a men’s apparel retailer based on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue. This brand had been a staple for nearly a century, the type of establishment likely frequented by characters from the series Mad Men during their lunch-hour shopping sprees or a surgical strike to replace a stained or substandard shirt before an important board meeting.

The retailer was facing brand erosion due to decades of stodgy bureaucracy and competition from more agile newcomers on Fifth Avenue. Men’s business shirts, particularly in blue and white, served as the anchor product or loss leader (when on sale) for this retail class. These shirts drew customers into the store from 10 AM to 4 PM, however the retailer was losing ground inside this segment. Sales of these staple shirts were declining, signaling broader challenges as customers took their money elsewhere.

Dressed in my best Hugo Boss suit, I spent several hours over multiple days in apparent nonchalance observing the men’s apparel department. I noticed shoppers’ frustration with finding the right combination of sleeve length, collar size, and button details within the brief time they allotted themselves for shopping. Typically, they had only 5 to 8 minutes to make a purchase. If they couldn’t find what they needed quickly, they left without buying anything else—and more importantly, they didn’t return.

To address this, I devised a nightly recovery process within the men’s dress shirts department. Every night at 10:30 PM, a stocking associate used a cart I had specially designed (one offered still in retail supply catalogs to this day) to remove all shirts from the sales floor and take them to the basement stockroom—part of the problem as well being shirts hidden out of customer sight as a result of this very recovery issue. There, the associate would restock each 10-shirt bin in the cart, organized by size, style, and color, heel-toed, and squared to perfection. No torn bags, no jumble-folds, no out-of-place or missing product tags. At around 8 AM the next morning, the shirts were returned to the sales floor, ready for the next sales day. Every fixture filled to perfection.

Rarity can drive price, but abundance drives interest. This system ensured that every customer could find the exact shirt they needed within seconds, purchase it, and leave within 8 minutes. This change realized several key benefits: high-wage sales associates were freed up to assist customers rather than reorganize stock, customers knew they could rely on finding what they needed in short order, affording them time to think of other things they needed, and the store saw less requirement for overstock sales due to improved presentation and less hidden inventory.

A year later, the Vice President of the retailer, who had initially dismissed the idea as ‘crazy,’ called to thank me. The project had not only tripled sales and doubled store traffic during critical hours but had also increased department profitability five-fold. He had won the company’s annual award for the initiative. This experience underscored the crucial distinction in brand management of comprehending value versus cost, or seeing the forest despite the trees standing in the way.

Tree Dwellers and Tactical Fixation

Much of science operates under a practice I describe as ‘linear’ (incremental) induction.’¹ We start by formulating an answer, which we then mislabel as a hypothesis. From there, we assemble a collection of observations which might support this preconceived notion, while also attempting to discredit competing theories or parties without substantial evidence. This constitutes a severe form of confirmation bias called in military parlance ‘tactical fixation’. Such a process is particularly vulnerable to manipulation by external influences (agency as opposed to mere bias), leading to what we referred to in a previous article as the ‘Nelsonian Ignorance Trap.’ It is for precisely this reason why we often rely on Kuhn-Planck Paradigm Shifts to drive scientific advancement.

However, there exists a less common yet much more potent method of discovery, which conceives of science as an evolutionary process rather than a collection of immutable truths, inductive incremental validations, and entrenched syndicates. I refer to this approach as deductive critical path science, akin to ‘working the problem’ as known in detective work or military contexts. It begins with falsification of various notions and constructs supported by weak inductive evidence, and culminates in a living, breathing, sometimes threatening, theory – as opposed to standing dogma. This version of science does not require hordes of ‘science enthusiasts’ in order to maintain the faithful inside a state of belief.

Throughout my career, I have often been summoned to leadership roles in research and laboratory environments precisely because of this distinction: the prevalent focus on subject fixation to secure science funding contrasts sharply with the objective-driven strategy of working the problem to achieve specific goals.

The science of evolution was developed through critical path deduction for instance, while in contrast Covid-19 and climate science were promulgated through the awesome insistence of linear induction. These latter sciences have most recently failed us catastrophically.

Archaeologists’ unwillingness to develop any research that might remotely suggest a biblical flood or ancient aliens hypothesis has led to a compromise in the integrity of science itself. In reality, a religion is defined not by what it accepts as true, but rather by what it embargoes as unworthy.

In the example of the early-career retailer scenario I described above, my role was to work the problem, not incrementally improve the tactics. My purpose was not to produce more inductive evidence as to how correct standing theory indeed was. Standing theory had already failed miserably, and the participants therein did not perceive this. I was tasked with assessing the broader picture—the forest—rather than deepening my expertise and securing additional funding by fixating narrowly on the trees.

When Working the Problem, First Seek to Falsify

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

~ Sherlock Holmes, “The Sign of the Four” by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Within this article, readers will be introduced to a hypothesis derived from the critical path deductive process outlined above. This hypothesis represents the last idea considered, only after all other possibilities have been falsified (see Image 1). It is the alternative one has to be dragged kicking and screaming into objectively assessing, after every other idea has failed.

I want to make it clear that I dislike this alternative. At its heart, the hypothesis involves what is called in philosophy, an ‘unfalsifiable prediction through indefinite timing’ (Point Tau below). I dislike such notions – favoring context-and-control testable predictions as one of the elements of true hypothesis. In fact, I opposed this idea vehemently for decades. Like many of my colleagues, I had grown weary of hearing Noah’s flood theories, and had attained a level of cynicism regarding the matter as well (not skepticism).

However, I was wrong – finally setting my mind to develop its probative construct (not a ‘final answer’) only after having falsified every single previously favored notion or alternative I or others could muster.² Thereafter, this hypothesis exists as a probative construct – as there is no possible way for it to be 100% correct out of the box. It is a working and evolving set of ideas—thoughts that have been doggedly embargoed from the collective consciousness of science.

The majority of archaeologists lack extensive seafaring expertise and are not versed in materials science research. As someone with deep experience in both domains, the significance of what is shown in Image 1 is readily apparent to me. Moreover, if a standing hypothesis fails to address the deductive evidence shown in Image 1, it is not a scientific hypothesis – rather a political technology.

As well, this hypothesis encompasses several predictive elements, which are substantiated upon detailed examination, as will be demonstrated in the subsequent sections of this article. Initially, I considered this theory extremely unlikely, comparable to the improbability of conjecturing a murder. Yet, my perspective underwent a dramatic shift after inspecting the exterior of the Khafre Pyramid. The evidence I observed there was as compelling as the discovery of a dead body, motivating me to now pursue this most improbable path. Despite its initial apparent implausibility, this hypothesis presents the most robust ‘probative construct’ I have encountered regarding this topic, particularly in its description of the ‘function’ of the four ‘air shafts’ within the Khufu pyramid. This construct will continue to be modified into the future of course – but more importantly, it constitutes a paradigm shift, one which allows science to move forward and no longer wallow in appeal to authority and prior plausibility.

One can scream all they want about how ‘experts have concluded’ that this is not a case of murder. But I am sitting here staring at a dead body (Khafre ocean submersion introduces a deductive critical path construct), and absolutely everyone is ignoring it.

The Heat Between Indigo and Tau

Points Indigo and Tau are inflection and tipping points that I often utilize when analyzing strategies, campaigns, problems, or deceptions. The Indigo Point is a critical juncture where plans are quietly set in motion, potentially irrevocably, steering towards a predetermined Tau strike point. Although not an exact match, functionally, Point Indigo aligns with Ray Bradbury’s concept of the butterfly effect, where minor, early changes serve to precipitate significant later outcomes. Conversely, Point Tau resembles Malcolm Gladwell’s notion of a tipping point— a moment when the issue of outcome becomes apparent and it is too late for direct intervention to alter the course of events.

Between points Indigo and Tau, the underlying process may often be concealed, with its elements considered normal, irrelevant, or mistakenly attributed to other factors. At point Tau, all hell breaks loose.

For the sake of comprehension therefore, I have chosen to present the hypothesis described here in terms of both its Indigo and cryptic inception—where actions are subtly set in motion and might even be misinterpreted or misattributed—and its inevitable Tau strike point, the culmination of the entire set of events.

A culmination of events that ancient civilizations have endeavored to communicate as they understood them, through symbols, stone circles, and monuments across the millennia.

Indigo-Point Exothermic Core-Mantle Decoupling – Tau-Point Dzhanibekov LLVP Oscillation (ECDO)

Point Indigo (Construct and Critical Path) – Exothermic Core-Mantle Decoupling and Heat Transfer Inflection

This sequence of events, that we refer to as the Indigo Point set, initiates with a weakening of the core magnetic moment and the associated core-mantle magnetic coupling, which currently influences the position of our geographic North Pole (N_p) (what we call ‘priority’). Following this, there is a transfer of exothermic heat from the core into a network of Large Low-Velocity-Shear Provinces (LLVPs) within the Earth’s mantle, with the most notable being the ‘South Africa Cusp’. This activity contributes to consistent and sometimes dramatic ocean warming, as we all observed in 2023, and also leads to the heating of the northern hemisphere tundra – with the resulting forced methane release thereby causing methane ppm’s to significantly exceed forecasts of climate models.

1. Weakening of the core-mantle magnetic coupling (Earth’s geomagnetic moment) and North Pole (N_p) priority.
2. Contribution of exothermic kinetic energy (heat) into a pair of axially-located Large Low-Velocity-Shear Provinces (LLVP) in the Earth’s mantle – heat which serves to further dilute their density relative to the surrounding mantle.
3. Causing dramatic ocean and northern hemisphere tundra warming, along with a resulting forced carbon dioxide and methane release.

Most of this Indigo Point chain of events is outlined in our article The Climate Change Alternative We Ignore (to Our Peril). It is also summarized in this graphic.

Point Tau (Prediction) – Gyroscopically Mediated Dzhanibekov Decoupling Tip-In (104º flip along the 31º E meridian)

In our continued expansion of the ECDO theory, a critical tip-in, or Tau Point, manifests with a significant geological event. This pivotal occurrence involves the substantial contribution of heat from the phase state change of hexagonal close-packed iron (HCP-Fe) into the South Africa Cusp, a part of the Large Low-Velocity-Shear Province (LLVP) group of mantle formations (left side of Exhibit A above). This infusion of less dense, metallic mass at a key geodynamic nexus is hypothesized to catalyze a gyroscopic moment. The geographic North Pole (N_p) is theorized to realign to a new position, designated as N_p’ in Exhibit B to the right, which is projected to occur along the 31° East Meridian—a line of longitude notably shared with the ancient and enigmatic Khufu Pyramid. This realignment, shifting approximately 104 degrees, represents a dramatic reorientation of the Earth’s rotational axis, underpinning the transformative implications of the ECDO theory at this Tau Point.

D. Once past a specific threshold of reduced magnetic moment, the core-mantle magnetic coupling gives way to a gyroscopically mediated form of Dzhanibekov rotation from N_p to N_p‘ (104º along 31º E longitude – the same meridian as the Khufu Pyramid).

The H-layer of the core accelerates its exothermic sloughing, and this material-shedding effect serves as a kind of ‘infinite lubricant’ between the core and the mantle, allowing the two bodies to rotate independently (as shown in Exhibits J and J2).

It is our contention that we are now well past Point Indigo in this process, have incorrectly interpreted the heat presented by this transpiration as being caused by man’s activity alone, and now face a need to detect the approach of a Point Tau Gyroscopically Mediated Dzhanibekov rotation.

This broaches the question, How does one go about detecting the onset of such an event?

Dzhanibekov Dynamics and Rotation

The Dzhanibekov Effect, also known as the tennis racket theorem, refers to a phenomenon observed regarding rotating bodies in space, where an object with three distinct momenta of inertia (axes of rotation) behaves in a counterintuitive way when rotated. Discovered by Russian cosmonaut Vladimir Dzhanibekov while in Earth orbit, the effect became particularly famous after he observed a wingnut flipping unexpectedly when spun.

The effect occurs because the intermediate axis theorem states that rotation around the object’s intermediate axis (neither its maximum nor its minimum inertia axis) is unstable.⁵ When an object such as a tennis racket or a wingnut is tossed with a spin around this intermediate axis, it eventually flips around, rotating about the other axes, leading to a sudden and unexpected shift in orientation.⁶ This surprising behavior highlights unique stability characteristics in rotational dynamics, particularly in the microgravity conditions of space.

While our theory references the Dzhanibekov Effect, it is crucial to understand that our application diverges in part from the classical definition observed in space. Our model does not strictly adhere to the traditional Dzhanibekov Effect definition, where an object flips 180 degrees due solely to rotational instability around its intermediate axis (Exhibit C above). Instead, we explore how similar principles could influence Earth’s rotational dynamics under different conditions, specifically,

1. a reduction in the geomagnetic coupling between the Earths’ core and its mantle as the core’s geomagnetic moment fades, which helps to keep the present polar rotational axis as priority,
2. destabilization caused by the heat-generated dilution of the Earth’s hotter and less-dense Large Low-Velocity-Shear Provinces (LLVPs), and in particular the center of mass in the South Africa Cusp LLVP. This dilution can potentially polarize the Earth’s rotational momentum, leading to significant shifts in the planet’s rotation around its maximum axis (the remaining dense mantle), and
3. a gyroscopic 104 degrees (relative to the current polar axis, see Exhibits H and J) mediation of the Dzhanibekov effect—not the 0 to 180 degrees typically illustrated in simpler physical models (Exhibit C).

This adjustment in our theoretical approach highlights the unique application and adaptation of rotational dynamics principles to the geological and magnetic complexities of Earth’s interior. The theory thus introduces the terms ‘dynamics’, ‘mediated’, and ‘rotation’ to describe these complex interactions rather than a direct ‘effect’ in terms of Dzhanibekov’s observation with regard to rotating 3-axis bodies.

Large Low-Velocity-Shear Province (LLVP) – Earth’s Hidden Gyroscope

Large Low-Shear-Velocity Provinces (LLVPs) are significant geophysical features located deep within the Earth’s mantle, particularly at the boundary with the core, ranging upwards towards the asthenosphere of the Earth, to around 2,900 kilometers below the surface. These regions are differentiated by their seismic properties; specifically, seismic waves travel through these structures at slower speeds as compared to surrounding materials. This anomalous behavior suggests that LLVPs are both hotter and less dense than the majority of the Earth’s mantle.

There are two primary LLVP structures, which we refer to herein as ‘SAC’ for South Africa Cusp, and ‘PAC”, for Pacific. Both are rather massive, about twice the size of our moon, and constitute a sizeable differential in terms of georotational mass moment.^{8 9}

Bear in mind that the Earth’s mantle is anisotropic, while most of our tomography and science concerning mantle density and specifically Large Low-Shear-Velocity Provinces (LLVPs) has been developed within the last decade.

The two LLVP structures are found beneath Africa and the Pacific Ocean – acting like poles along a kind of gyroscopic axis of their own within the Earth’s mantle. They are massive in scale, each covering a substantial portion of the lower mantle. These formations are regarded to be hotter and potentially less dense than the surrounding mantle matrix. We conjecture that the heat comes from the presence of phase changing core hexagonal closepack iron (HCP-Fe) in the matrix.¹¹ The formations serve to introduce a minimum axis, with the rest of the mantle forming a maximum axis, which when combined, gyroscopically compete with both the magnetically coupled axis as well as a pure 180 degree Dzhanibekov rotation.

As can be seen in Exhibit E, the central part of the African Large Low-Shear-Velocity Province (LLVP) lies beneath south tip of the African plate, with hotspots appearing to concentrate along the LLVP’s boundary. In the mid-mantle, seismic tomographic models reveal broad slow seismic wavespeed anomalies beneath the African craton,¹² commonly interpreted to be heat plume upwellings from the outer core.¹³

Take note that the African LLVP tapers with both the Rift Valley, as well as the 31st East Meridian through the Giza Plateau. This is significant.¹⁴

Exhibit F below shows a conceptual depiction of this minimum/maximum gyroscopic axis formed by the two LLVPs. It is extracted from the referenced Cottaar, et al. study, with our annotations shown in yellow and blue text/lines.

However, in the interest of precision, let’s examine a more objective and recent (2021 tomographic) measure of the geographic position of the South Africa Cusp – Large Low-Velocity-Shear Province (SAC-LLVP). In the extracted Exhibit G below, from the referenced Tsekhmistrenko, et al. 2021 study, one can observe the intersection of the cusp’s radial centroid and the 31^o E Meridian.

The reader should note that, while the longitude of point 4 (green ball) on the chart shown in Exhibit G above is arguably the 31st Meridian, the same one upon which Giza is located, there exists a range of latitude inside which a center of LLVP lower density might be assigned. The north-south placement could range from 8 to 18 degrees south latitude. We chose 104 degrees (14 degrees south latitude) for consistency in the specific scenario of conjecture here. As well, this angle corresponds to 90 degrees of cardinal rotation through Dzhanibekov effect, combined with a very reasonable and common 14 degrees of gross (not longitude dependent) magnetic pole variation (angle between core magnetic and rotational poles – under the same definition convention used in celestial navigation). Thus, one should note that this in no way constitutes a petitio principii appeal.

Furthermore, regarding the argument of a ‘lack of recorded history’ for such Dzhanibekov shifts, consider this: if the Earth’s geomagnetic core maintained its current orientation while a Dzhanibekov rotation occurred in the mantle and crust (Exhibit I below), such an event would be interpreted as a geomagnetic pole excursion in the field of paleomagnetism. This is due to our current methods of measurement. Over a prolonged period, we would not have the means to distinguish between a Dzhanibekov rotation and traditional geomagnetic pole shifts (see note¹⁷). Moreover, during a short Khafre-styled reversal of say 10 to 50 years, we might not be able to detect such a Dzhanibekov rotation at all.

We posit therefore, that the centroid of the South Africa Cusp serves to act as the minimum gyroscopic-Dzhanibekov axis point during a decoupling of Earth’s mantle and core, serving to potentially rotate the Earth’s gyroscopic mass along a new axis of Earth rotation (N_p‘), with the center of less-dense mass of the South Africa Cusp now pointing directly at the celestial North Pole (Polaris, Ursa Minor, etc.). The gyroscopic plane of higher mantle mass therefore would reside perpendicular to the LLVP axis, as depicted in Exhibit G above.

Of a most curious note, 31 degrees East, 38 degrees North, the bisecting latitude location in Exhibit H above, which matches the Queen’s chamber on the right side of Exhibit L below – was regarded by the ancients as The Geographical Center of the World (until update by computers in 1973).¹⁸ This explains why the two sets of star shafts in Exhibit L are depicted for this location in central Turkey, and for Giza. This is not a coincidence.

The principle shown in Exibit H above is developed in terms of the physics of rotating bodies below. The special form of rotation proposed by this article, we call a Gyroscopically Mediated Dzhanibekov Rotation (last scenario on the right in Exhibit I below).

Key inference to be taken from the rightmost two images of Exhibit I above: The science of paleomagnetism possesses no method to detect a Dzhanibekov rotation, as distinct from a geomagnetic pole excursion or flip. So an appeal to ignorance here, is worthless.

Now, let’s take the modified scenario at the right end of Exhibit I above, and arrange it into the graphic extracted from the Cottaar, Lekic, et. al study which we examined in Exhibit F earlier.

With ‘The Solution’ identified now in Exhibit J, forgive me, dear reader, as I must ask you to endure one more complex graphic. This graphic describes the entire set of physics behind the oscillation (repeating cycle) of Dzhanibekov rotation. Exhibit J2 below presents the pair of Earth rotational conditions and further outlines the physics involved in each state: Geomagnetic Priority and Gyroscopic Priority.

State 1: Geomagnetically Induced Mechanical Equilibrium (Core-Mantle Coupled)

• Description: In this state, the gyroscope’s axis of spin is aligned with the applied magnetic field, and the weighted wheel is not rotating around the spin axis. The system is stable due to the magnetic forces, resulting in a balanced, equilibrium state.

State 2: Conservation of Angular Momentum by Rotation Axis (Core-Mantle Decoupled)

• Description: When the external magnet is removed, the gyroscope wheel returns to its plane of rotation (which has not changed in either State). In this state, the gyroscope conserves angular momentum through its rotational axis, with the magnet decoupled, allowing the rotational motion to resume.

The Prescience of Giza

Thus in the period of eleven thousand three hundred and forty years they said that there had arisen no god in human form; nor even before that time or afterwards among the remaining kings who arise in Egypt, did they report that anything of that kind had come to pass. In this time they said that the sun had moved four times from his accustomed place of rising, and where he now sets he had thence twice had his rising, and in the place from whence he now rises he had twice had his setting;

~ Herodotus, An Account of Egypt¹⁹

Scientist and amateur investigator alike have long wondered why the Khufu Pyramid has been positioned so tantalizingly close to the center of Earth’s landmasses²⁰ and the 30th North Parallel (reader please be aware that, in the vernacular of celestial navigation, a latitude is called a ‘parallel’ and a longitude is a ‘meridian’). Khufu’s positioning so as to inherit its location at the nominal 31st East Meridian is of course simply a matter of Greenwich, England having been selected as the demarcation point for the Prime Meridian, so that was deliberate.

However, Khufu’s specific positioning at the very longitude which just happens to also be named the 31st East Meridian is not an accident, in that this meridian is the very line of progression between the current North Pole (N_p) and the proposed alternative SAC-LLVP based North Pole (N_p‘) – anchored upon the axis of gyroscopic dynamics depicted in Exhibits F, I, and J above.

The Curious Case of the Khufu Dual 104 Degree Anomaly

In the image shown in Exhibit K above, regarding the ‘air/star shafts’ which run outward and up at specific angles from each of the King and Queen’s chambers, one pair of these shafts points directly north, while the other points directly south. Such precision in alignment suggests a purpose beyond mere ventilation, as the substantial cost and engineering effort involved in these particular designs would be unjustifiable for simple air shafts – more easily run (and more importantly, removed so as to deter robbers) in a vertical orientation. (Please note that within this article, 7N and 7S for example are referred to as a ‘set’ of shafts, whereas, 7N and 10N are referred to as a ‘pair’)

Additionally, the low placement of these shaft openings within each chamber would be ineffective for promoting airflow as warmer air rises. This considerable investment in engineering and labor seems too deliberate to constitute or tolerate an inept airflow design. Furthermore, the significance of these ‘star shafts’ may not lie solely in which stars they align with, but rather in the angle they form as a set—104 degrees—supplementing the angles of each chamber’s horizon to 180 degrees.

More importantly, the two angles defined by these sets of shafts (King and Queen’s shaft sets), match an alignment to the Dzhanibekov rotation as viewed from the the two critical locations defined in Exhibit H2: The Giza Plateau and the Geographic Center of the World (see where The Eratosthenes Experiment applies a similar heuristic). These two intervening differential angles, rather than the direct measurements or match to specific stars, carries the critical message of this monument.

The Secret of the Shafts
Each pair of shafts is affixed upon the same astronomical reference,
the celestial north pole in two different Earth-conditions and from two different geographic locations.
The eight degrees of geographic latitude variation is employed as part of the key to authenticate the message.

What the duplication in shafts and offset chambers serve to communicate, is an authentication of the change in celestial north pole location, during two different time periods. An intelligence which cannot be communicated by a single set of shafts, nor certainly by shaft combinations which do not agree.

The builders of the underlying observatory inside the Khufu pyramid depicted this principle from two differing geographic locations (Giza, left and Turkey, right), indicating a very sophisticated knowledge of the Earth’s diameter. What the duplication in shafts and offset chambers serve to communicate, is an authentication of the change in celestial north pole location, during two different time periods. An intelligence which cannot be communicated by a single set of shafts. Moreover, this coded message is something that cannot be defaced or dismantled by holy armies or their jealous God, cannot be rendered silent by righteous knowledge, nor consumed by fire or buried, nor eroded away by the elements.

I did not erect this structure as a monument to my own grandeur, nor to glorify my realm, nor even as a resting place for my remains. How could such immense vanity neglect to inscribe its name even once within its own colossal tribute? No, we are your forebears. Know, oh man, he who has unlocked these innermost secrets, that you journey now beyond this realization into an era akin to the days of Noah.

We entombed this observatory beneath millions of stones, at the cost of vast fortunes and countless lives, that this legacy may never again be washed away, erased, or stolen. For we understood the sloth, avarice, and cunning of your captors, those who pretend to the throne of gods. This monument was not crafted for our sakes—oh dear children of ignorance, blinded by your gadgets and sophistry—it was crafted for yours.

Of course, it would have been helpful had the builder marked one of the shafts to clearly indicate its polar direction at the time of construction. Surely, someone of this sophistication would have anticipated the need for such an informative relic. One set into a location where it cannot be erased by The God^TM or debunked by The Science^TM. Be patient, dear reader, as it may very well be that such a clue exists.

If Stones Could Speak

In one of the star/air shafts extending upward from the Queen’s Chamber, there resides a curious set of non-hieroglyphic markings which were photograped by the Upuaut Project.²¹ On the ceiling, just at the final stone before the block that terminates this shaft, a depiction of the night sky is carved. This artistic representation includes the constellations Ursa Minor and Ursa Major, Draco, Lacerta, Bootes, Cepheus, and Cassiopeia, unmistakably identifying this specific section of the sky and its orientation.

The stone depiction itself is centered on true north, with the celestial north pole anchored at the very bottom center of the stone framing – almost as if this specific stone was employed to select a time and set of stars to ‘shoot’ (navigator’s term for obtaining a line of position from a given star) each night, in order to align the next day’s workload to true north (when no alignment guide would be available). Exhibit N below outlines this functional practice. This I found to constitute a rather clever practice on the part of the construction foreman.

What remains in question is the timeframe represented by this depiction of the northern sky. Notably, the rendering centers on a celestial north pole that is significantly offset—not only from the current North Star, Polaris, which is expected due to the precession of the equinoxes, but also surprisingly far from the celestial north pole as it would have been positioned around the time of Khufu (circa 2550 BCE) – inside the end of Draco’s tail (as depicted in the bottom panel of Exhibit M).

This depiction suggests a construction timeframe for the star shaft of around 9000 to 9600 BCE, as evidenced by Exhibit M. Many of the stars represented in this carving would have been below the horizon in 2550 BCE and thus invisible in this depiction, to observers of that era. A Starry Night^TM rendering of the northern sky as it appeared in 9200 BCE, which precisely matches the arrangement carved into the stone shown in Exhibit M, can be viewed by clicking here.

The fact that all four of these shafts initially run at odd angles to the celestial north pole, thereafter reattaining the altitude and azimuth discipline in each case, indicates just how important this alignment was to the function of these shafts. They were not air shafts (despite our employment of that name at times herein). The copper fittings in the sealing stone were not for dropping the stone into place, as every stone in the pyramid had to be dropped into place, yet none of them used such labor intensive through-stone-fittings. Nor are the fittings placed at the right center of gravity to afford such a function. These were copper cables, the purpose of which we do not yet comprehend.

This form of evidence is indeed inductive, and I do not believe that the builders constructed one of the shafts while underwater during the counter-alignment. That issue is tactical and has yet to be resolved. However, the star stone argument remains highly significant. Dismissing such data as ‘irrelevant’—when in fact, the stone depiction is salient—perpetuates the linear induction or Nelsonian Ignorance Trap approach to science that we criticized at the outset of this article. Science is stuck in that trap regarding the Khafre and Khufu pyramids, in desperate need of disruption and paradigm shift.

However, setting aside the debate over the possible date range for the stone star depiction, one fact remains unmistakably clear:

The shaft that was aligned by means of this celestial north star map
today points toward Giza’s southern sky.

An Epilogue in Epic

I encourage the reader to contrast the below material with the biblical recount of Noah. In the Noah tale, one may observe a story heavily rewritten so that the targeted population could understand, as opposed to comprehend, the evolution of events.

The biblical flood narrative reduces that set of events into familiar tropes: it was ‘man’s fault’ (sound familiar?), it ‘rained’ (for a familiar esoteric number of days), then there were these magic ‘fountains’, and finally all that massive excess oceana (over triple the volume of all oceans which exist today) just disappeared in a couple months – poof! Finally, a fully mature olive tree mysteriously reappeared in 47 days²² – when it takes an olive pit 6 months to germinate and produce its first leaf even under optimal conditions.²³ Give me strength…(ChatGPT-4o comments accordingly)

This illustrates the problem with ‘explain it like I’m 5’: a technique that often leads to critical inaccuracies. As a result, the biblical version is unreliable as compared to more ancient accounts (such as below) that offer a more nuanced and physically plausible depiction of events. Generations of mankind miss an important geophysical principle because someone wanted to make the story ‘easy to understand’. This is what happens when you dumb things down – everyone gets dumb as a result.

Curiously, in the Epic of Gilgamesh’s Tablets IX, X, and XI, King of Uruk, Gilgamesh, set out upon a quest to find his ancestor Utanapishtim. Utanapishtim had been granted immortality by the Gods after he had followed one God’s (Ea/Enki) direction to build a large boat. He then loaded the vessel with his kith, kin, and domesticated animals, and successfully survived an epic inundation. Gilgamesh, being two thirds God himself, desired to understand the mystery of immortality (my commentary: why someone would wish to live forever in this realm is beyond me).

Accordingly, Gilgamesh crossed the Mountains of Mashu, and marched for days eastward. Thereafter, his team portaged and powered by poles up a river for three days (hundreds of miles, or a month and a half’s normal journey according to the text), whereupon they attained their objective.²⁴ This journey could only equate to the mouth of the Indus River and upriver passage to one of the oldest cities in the world, Mahenjo Daro (3 days at 4 knots = 327 miles, Mahenjo Daro is 325 miles upriver). There, Gilgamesh encountered Utanapishtim, who was running a river trading and fishing business.

Utanapishtim recounted to Gilgamesh how his world was lost in a mere day’s sudden turning, not “40 days and 40 nights” of rain – a catastrophe not wrought by sustained storms, celestial impacts, or solar coronal mass ejection, but rather by a displaced sea, kinetically mixed with displacing atmospheric winds, swiftly surmounting the mountains in one sudden, overwhelming inundation. This combination of water borne upon high winds (not the same as rain), the shattering of the land, and sudden encroaching of the ocean – constitute georotation phenomena – and nothing else.

Utanapishtim thus related to Gilgamesh:²⁵

I will reveal to you, Gilgamesh, a thing that is hidden, a secret of the gods I will tell you!

Ea, the Clever Son of Anu, was [bound by] an oath with [the Anunnaki]
so he repeated their [knowledge of the coming deluge] to [my] reed house [wall instead]:
‘Reed house, reed house! Wall, wall!
[Were you to speak with him, say to] the man of Shuruppak, son of Ubartutu:
“Tear down [your] house and build a boat!”

That stated time had arrived.
In the morning [Shamash] let loaves of bread [tephra volcanic bomb] shower down,
and in the evening a rain of wheat [tephra ash/lapilli].
I watched the appearance of the weather–
the weather was frightful to behold!
I went into the boat and sealed the entry.

Just as dawn began to glow
there arose from the horizon a black cloud.
[Thunder] rumbled inside of it,
before him went [a dark squall] and [lightning],
[with a large maelstrom] going over mountain and land.

The Anunnaki lifted up the torches,
setting the land ablaze with their flare.
[The stunning] shock [of the maelstrom] overtook the heavens,
and turned to blackness all that had been light.

[Then all the land suddenly] shattered like a [clay] pot.
All day long the South Wind blew …,
blowing fast, submerging the mountain in water,
overwhelming the people like an [attacking army].
No one could see his fellow,
they could not recognize each other in the torrent.
The gods were frightened by the Flood,
and retreated, ascending to the heaven of Anu.

Six days and seven nights
came the wind and flood, the storm flattening the land.
When the seventh day arrived, the storm was pounding,
the flood was a war–struggling with itself like a woman
writhing (in labor).
The sea calmed, fell still, the whirlwind (and) flood stopped up.
I looked around all day long–quiet had set in
and all the human beings had turned to clay!
The terrain was as flat as a roof.

Before we close, let’s walk down this pathway for just a moment. Of course, this entire construct raises the key existential question: Why would a responsible entity of any kind purposely place or develop a large sentient civilization like humanity on an ECDO planet prone to frequent flipping, knowing the immense suffering this would cause? This argues poignantly for an atheist viewpoint.

If such an entity had indeed done this, and if this was something which could be judged as wrong by an outside party, would this entity not want the evidence of such maliciousness obliterated, buried, obfuscated, or even blamed upon the victims themselves? Concealment by every reasonable means – scientific, rhetorical, religious, interment, or imperial conquest, it would not matter.

Such exhibits the elegance of publishing ideas like this inside a private blog article. I do not have to adopt the pro forma and magisterial edicts of those who embargo questions, ideas, and evidence. Wallowing in the quagmire of linear inductive Nelsonian ignorance, while adorning the ironic priestly robes of inquiry.

Perhaps of an even more curious final note, the seal of the first King of Mahenjo Daro,²⁶ despite its being located a couple hundred miles up the Indus River, depicted a large ocean-going vessel, along with a raven and a dove.
