Who Built The Pyramids?

HELLO FOLKS — Pronounced by the ancient Greeks as one of the seven wonders of the world, and about the only one of the seven wonders remaining in existence today, are the pyramids of Egypt. Who built them is a question that has been asked many times but never answered. It is of course assumed that they were under the supervision of the Egyptian rulers but the pryamids themselves were probably constructed by slave labor.

For many years it was assumed that the great knowledge needed about astronomy was the product of Egyptian culture, However today the majority of students of the pyramids seem to think that the Egyptians received their knowledge from some outside source, as they do not seem to have had the basic culture to have developed it themselves.

Encylopedias state that the pyramids were the product of the fourth dynasties of Egypt and that they were built about 2500-2600 B. C. In this they must be wrong, for that would place their history be-fore the flood. The flood occurred approximately 2400 B.C., according to biblical cronology; which must be pretty accurate as an exact record was kept of mankind since the creation.

Egyptian history is strictly post-diluvian. Were it pre-diluvian there would be no Egyptians today. As it is they are very much alive.

Being post-diluvian they are the product of one of the families that escaped the flood (probably Ham). It takes centuries to establish a nation from one family no matter how prolific they are. Therefore the pyramids could hardly have been built before 2000 B. C.

That takes us down to the days of Abraham, who was born about 300 years after Noah's flood, and most likely before the pyramids were built.

We know from scriptures that Abraham was taught great truths about the stars by heavenly messengers. Abraham being highly respected by the Egyptians and also having been told that his descendants would be held captive by the Egyptians 400 years, could possibly have given them the needed knowledge needed to erect the pyramids. Then with the descendants of Abraham bing slaves in Egypt for (as it turned out to be) 350 years, is it not highly probable that they could have been the ones who furnished the man-power for the pyramids?

We don't know, of course. But it is interesting to speculate and what could be more appropriate than for the children of Israel to have had a hand in the building and their great-grandfather having supplied the knowledge. I believe that some day we will know. Then we won't need to wonder.
