To the Heavens by Pyramids

Teotihuacan Step Pyramids

Gigantic pyramid structures may have an alternative, simplified explanation, a concept overlooked for thousands of years. It is possible, in a time history designates as long before air travel, that pyramids were a means of reaching into the heavens. This idea suggests pyramid builders aligned the structures with celestial bodies in attempt to unlock an multidimensional doorway, a place where the sun, moon, stars, and comets reside.

Building upwards may also have spiritual significance from a religious perspective, as the structures bring one closer to the heavens even to the point of offering the soul a pathway to follow into the afterlife. One might look at the pyramids in this way and think, what if the true purpose of a pyramid was not only to offer the soul a channel of passage, but what if literally they're a stairway to the heavens, and during a time science understands people were not flying. One of the greatest curiosities back then, without flight, had to be discovering what resides in the space above Earth. Perhaps building one pyramid was not enough to reach the edge, so another was built taller, and then another.

It's a great motivation to thousands upon thousands of pyramid builders around the world, to say they are helping to build a pathway into the heavens, to touch the sun and the moon. Looking up into the sky is deceiving and even with modern technology it's difficult to truly comprehend those 248.514 miles between the Earth's surface and space, let alone trying to reach the moon, sun, and stars. Giza is 0.0863706 miles tall, meaning the Egyptians needed to build a structure 2,877 times the size; then only to discover a seemingly endless vacuum of space. Maybe structures around the world first met with primitive attempts to travel into the heavens, and without flight capability this sounds quite plausible, though perhaps in time we may discover an alternate means for traversing the universe directly from Earth's surface.

Number Connections - 3 and 7

An ancient aliens documentary thoughtfully examined the significance of the number 3; how this number is not only respected in ancient belief systems, but also that understanding its meaning may help us to unlock some of the greatest mysteries known to mankind, as through the third eye.

Concepts of the number 3 and its meaning to ancient people are reminiscent of an earlier research effort conducted several years ago involving the number 7 and its relationship to spirituality. The thought-provoking questions presented by ancient alien theorists managed to rekindle its prominence and suggest the idea of an even deeper understanding. These two numbers meet up on several mysterious levels when exploring scientific and religious realms of our history.

A question proposed in ancient theorists asks in relation to the number 3, why it is the three Biblical Magi (wise-men) chose to bring Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh as gifts to baby Jesus. They followed the Star of Bethlehem as a guiding light from the heavens to find him.

One note here which is not normally mentioned in relation: The arrival of the Magi is still celebrated today by some Western Christians, on Three Kings' Day, the Epiphany, or the Twelfth Day as it's believed the event occurred 12 days after Christmas. Eastern traditions claim there were actually 12 Magi, instead of three who visited Jesus. In either case, twelve days or twelve Magi using numerology may be written as 1+2, or again, 3. 

Mentioning of the star is important from a spiritual perspective, but it also helps pin-point the exact birth of Jesus according to Biblical scholar, Simo Parpola. By his astronomical calculations, Parpola is able to show the triple conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, occurred three times in the year 7 BC, as Saturn and Jupiter were in the constellation Pisces in close conjunction during the time of December 23, recorded on a Babylonian clay tablet.

Parpola's research primarily focuses on the actual date of Jesus' birth by means of archaeological evidence and astronomical data, reasoning the triple conjunction as the only possible explanation of the Star of Bethlehem from an astrological standpoint. The same triple conjunction alignment was observed twice since 7 BC, as Parpola explains, occurring every 800 years; marking 2,383 as the next year it may be witnessed.

Another note:  Pisces is the twelfth (1+2 = 3) sign of the Zodiac and is represented also using 3 lines, 1 straight and 2 curved. 

Perhaps the most intriguing relationship between the number 3 and the number 7 is presented to us when examining at least 3 written languages, Greek Γ, and Arabic ٣, and Urdu ٣. Written forms of the digit 3 appear graphically similar as a reversed number 7, which all are believed to stem from Gimel, the third letter in ancient Phoenician and Aramaic writing systems. Asking ourselves how the number 3 could unlock unexplained mysteries in mankind's distant past is a question met with certain difficulties; especially considering how closely numbers factor into our everyday lives.
