We are in the last days of this age. Year 2013 is the turning point.
After Buddha Sakyamuni and Jesus Christ,Xuefeng (Deiform Buddha) ,the messenger of the Greatest Creator,followed Revelation founding Lifechanyuan to give the last course for human beings to learn and follow since year 2003 and before 2013:
Pyramids were not built by man and nor built by the ancestors of man. It is the Greatest Creator who inspired God to build the pyramids and it is God who then dispatched angels (celestial being and Buddha) to build the pyramids. If it is difficult to understand this, it can also be said that they were built by aliens.
There is only one purpose:receiving and accumulating the energy from the universe and supplying the energy for the making of life and man on earth. It can be said that pyramids are the laboratories and cultivation sites for the making of life and man.
The pyramids of Egypt were designed and built for the creation of man. Other pyramids were built for the creation of other life-forms. Since different life-forms need different energies, the foundations of pyramids are not all squares. Some are triangles, pentagons, and hexagons.
The pyramids of Egypt have only a history of 12,000 years, while other pyramids are two billion years old.

People had long traveled over land to trade spices and cloths from Asia, but the routes became dangerous. Christopher Columbus proposed sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean to reach Asia, known then as the Indies, as the traditional land routes had closed. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain agreed to fund Columbus' expedition, providing ships and money so he could embark on his journey westward in search of a new trade route to Asia.7 wonders of the World.

In 1963, a man in Derinkuyu, Turkey discovered a secret room hidden behind a wall in his house, which led to the discovery of an expansive underground city. Archaeologists have since uncovered 20 levels that could shelter up to 10,000 people. The city was used by early Christians and others to take shelter from frequent invasions, with passageways that could be blocked by large circular stone doors weighing up to 500 kilograms. The underground city had amenities like stables, dining areas, a church, kitchens, and more, benefiting from an underground river and ventilation system.The Fertile Crescent

Early settlers developed irrigation systems and built cities with walls to control floods and access water. The Sumerians established independent city-states each with their own government and gods around 3000 BC. They developed writing, the wheel, plow, and use of bronze.

The document provides information on the geography and climate of ancient Egypt. It describes how the Nile River was the lifeline of Egypt, flooding yearly and depositing fertile soil. Egyptian civilization was based around the Nile, which was used for transportation, irrigation, fishing, and more. Egypt was divided into the fertile "Black Land" along the Nile and the surrounding "Red Land" desert. The document also summarizes the history of ancient Egypt, including the early dynasties, pharaohs like Djoser and Narmer who united Egypt, and architectural achievements like pyramids, mastabas, and the Sphinx.The Fertile Crescent!

The Fertile Crescent, also known as Mesopotamia, is a crescent-shaped region located between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers that saw the rise of early civilizations. The area had fertile soil from annual flooding but lacked natural defenses. To overcome these challenges, settlers developed irrigation systems through channels, dams, and ditches to control floods and water crops. They also constructed city walls out of mud bricks. This led to the emergence of the Sumerian city-states in southern Mesopotamia around 3000 BC, which established systems of government, religion, social class, and innovations like the wheel, plow, and the first written language known as cuneiform.Egyptian Civiliazation

Ancient Egyptian art refers to art produced in ancient Egypt between the 6th millennium BC and the 4th century AD, spanning from Prehistoric Egypt until the Christianization of Roman Egypt. It includes paintings, sculptures, drawings on papyrus, faience, jewelry, ivories, architecture, and other art media. It is also very conservative: the art style changed very little over time. Much of the surviving art comes from tombs and monuments, giving more insight into the ancient Egyptian afterlife beliefs.
The ancient Egyptian language had no word for "art". Artworks served an essentially functional purpose that was bound with religion and ideology. To render a subject in art was to give it permanence. Therefore, ancient Egyptian art portrayed an idealized, unrealistic view of the world. There was no significant tradition of individual artistic expression since art served a wider and cosmic purpose of maintaining order (Ma'at).
The Early Dynastic Period of Egypt immediately follows the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, c. 3100 BC. It is generally taken to include the First and Second Dynasties, lasting from the end of the Naqada III archaeological period until about 2686 BC, or the beginning of the Old Kingdom.[8]
Cosmetic palettes reached a new level of sophistication during this period, in which the Egyptian writing system also experienced further development. Initially, Egyptian writing was composed primarily of a few symbols denoting amounts of various substances. In the cosmetic palettes, symbols were used together with pictorial descriptions. By the end of the Third Dynasty, this had been expanded to include more than 200 symbols, both phonograms and ideograms.[20]
The Middle Kingdom of Egypt (a.k.a. "The Period of Reunification") follows a period of political division known as the First Intermediate Period. The Middle Kingdom lasted from around 2050 BC to around 1710 BC, stretching from the reunification of Egypt under the reign of Mentuhotep II of the Eleventh Dynasty to the end of the Twelfth Dynasty. The Eleventh Dynasty ruled from Thebes and the Twelfth Dynasty ruled from el-Lisht. During the Middle Kingdom period, Osiris became the most important deity in popular religion.[24] The Middle Kingdom was followed by the Second Intermediate Period of Egypt, another period of division that involved foreign invasions of the country by the Hyksos of West Asia.
After the reunification of Egypt in the Middle Kingdom, the kings of the Eleventh and Twelfth Dynasties were able to return their focus to art. In the EBurial architecture

It describes the development of pyramids from Zoser's stepped pyramid built by Imhotep, to later versions like the Bent Pyramid and the three major pyramids built by Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure at Giza. It also discusses the construction techniques used to build pyramids and provides details about interior chambers. Additionally, it covers rock-cut tombs like the examples found at Beni Hasan with colonnaded entrances and burial chambers.More Related Content
