Tilted Equator?

Irna — 2013-08-29T18:40:48Z

As readers who have seen the film documentary, The Revelation of the Pyramids, will be aware, one of the principal ideas presented by the authors, Patrice Pooyard and Jacques Grimault, is that of the existence of a "tilted equator" that, inclined at 30° to the equator, links up some of the most important "sacred sites" on the planet.
We will not spend too long on detailing all the problems associated with this idea: links between sites of completely different ages; vagueness of criteria on (…)

Guardians of the Sky
It is now time (1h 34 min 12s) to leave the Earth behind for a while, and turn our eyes up to the heavens, and the Zodiac. The narrator announces (without citing any source) that:
Four signs of the Zodiac are associated with four of the brightest stars of the sky, once dubbed "the Guardians of the Sky." The stars are Aldebaran in the constellation Taurus; Regulus, in Leo; Antares, in Scorpio; and Fomalhaut. Following modern-day changes to the (…)

Pyramidion
We come now to the second part of the film, which contains much more extensive information about Jacques Grimault's bibliographic references.
First, at 58 min 43s, we are shown a glimpse of a book that includes a paper by Rainer Stadelmann to which I've already referred in another article (fr), since it is this work that Jacques Grimault relies on for his claim that, at one time, the capstone of what is known as the Red Pyramid of Dahshur was exactly one metre (…)

Jacques Grimault, the author behind the film Revelation of the Pyramids, is often described as a scholar who spent no fewer than forty years researching the pyramids of ancient Egypt. In the film itself, everything serves only to strengthen this impression: the author, wearing his “anonymous researcher" hat, is shown (at about 1h 00 min 10s) in a magnificent library, repeatedly handling antique tomes.
On another front, the author is very critical of Egyptologists, whose conclusions he is (…)

"Revelation of the pyramids": At the center of the landmass

Irna — 2013-04-04T23:27:37Z

Film "The Revelation of the Pyramids", Jacques Grimault and Patrice Pooyard: 53 mn 27 s Giza is the very centre of the world The idea of Giza as the "centre of the world", or "centre of the landmass", is hardly confined to this film. It is also to be found on Jacques Grimault's blog, and frequently crops up in articles by other authors. Questions such as this one, for example: "How is it that this déifice [sic] (possible misprint for “edifice” – Translator) is in the middle of (…)

"Revelation of the Pyramids": Sitchin, or not Sitchin ?

Even if never explicitly stated (although it did become clearer in subsequent interviews with the authors and Facebook discussions), the theory underlying the Grimault and Pooyard documentary (“Revelation of the Pyramids”) is that the Great Pyramid of Cheops: 1° does not date from the IVth dynasty, but from a time long before, and was therefore not built by Cheops / Khufu; 2° was not a tomb, but had some other function. However, as with every author who has ever tried this line of enquiry (…)
