MORE Secrets Discovered in Giza Pyramid

A robot camera has revealed markings inside tunnels beneath the Giza Plateau that have remained unseen for at least 4,500 years. The hieroglyphic symbols are in red paint and may have been made by masons when the chamber was being built, as sort of a "blueprint" written right on the stones.

Similar markings have been found elsewhere in Giza.

William Henry and Nikki Scully are teaming up to lead tours to Egypt this winter, and here they discuss the esoteric meaning of Egyptian alchemy and religion. When touring, they will be utilizing exclusive private visits to the sacred places in order to perform group ceremonial without big crowds. Here, they discuss the powerful reality and real meaning of the Egyptian gods and the power of the sacred science that the Egyptians used to access the vividly alive level of reality that they inhabit.
William Henry talks to Robert Bauval from a hotel room in Egypt, where Robert is exploring changes in the Egyptian government, and how they might affect the future of the monuments and the magnificent artifacts stored in Egypt. Many members of the Egyptology community felt that Zahi Hawass, the Egyptian Director of General of Antiquities under Hosni Mubarek, would resign and perhaps even leave the country. However, a short time after he left his post, he returned to it, saying "I can’t live without the antiquities and the antiquities can’t live without me."
