WHY THE ANCIENT PYRAMIDS EXISTED ALL OVER THE WORLD.

THE ANSWER TO THIS

MYSTERY MAYBE BE JUST AS SIMPLE AS KNOWING WHAT MAKES US HUMAN.
By PAUL GLUMAZ

There exists great controversy over the construction, origins and reasons why we
find, incredible to us, ancient pyramidal structures all over the world. We find them in
Peru, Chile, Mexico, Egypt, China, Bosnia, and many other places as well. The societies
associated with such constructions have long ago passed by. As someone who looks at
these matters not just from some engineering or mere scientific point of view, there
appears to be a missing conception in all in all the documentaries and reports on the
pyramids that I have seen. That missing conception is that we are human beings.
What does being human mean? It means above all else that we do not live by
bread alone. It means that as humans we are not utilitarian. Our primary drive is not
the will to power, or the desire to be greedy, or the drive to satisfy the appetites of sex,
thirst, or hunger. Our primary drive is to be human. Our primary drive is to enjoy a
cognitive existence despite the vicissitudes of survival. That is why, in one degree or
another, all societies have science and art.
Humans exist in a culture. It is the culture that transports the person beyond their
mere material existence. It is the culture that tells a person who they are. The progress
of that culture is the expanding boundary of what is conceptually possible for the
members of a society. The progress of a culture, artistically and scientifically, must
however of necessity be physically demonstrated in the alteration of nature for the
individuals of a culture to be lifted above the backwardness of their day to day sense
perception.
This same idea can be stated from a slightly different angle in the following way:
How can a civilization which has come into being, be maintained over time, through the
development of its members? Or, how can a group of brilliant individuals create a
civilization and recruit and transform the identity of extremely undeveloped individuals
who are living in brutal conditions of mere survival? Or, how can the knowledge that is
locked inside the minds of a few people be transferred to the mass of individuals of the
society as a whole, when this mass of Individuals would have otherwise insurmountable
difficulty in understanding anything that they were not familiar with?
What are the pyramids? In essence, one, the pyramids are the physical
representation to the society of the demonstration of all the scientific knowledge available.
Two, the construction of the pyramids is the basis of organizing the development of a
disciplined and competent labor force that has the skills, the knowledge, the work habits,
and identification with the building of the pyramids which is essential for a productive
identity. Three, the existence of the pyramid radiates a powerful influence among less
developed peoples hundreds if not thousands of miles away from where the pyramids are

located. Four, the awesomeness of the pyramids would have a the effect as the singular
expression of a unifying physical principle that stands above the family, the clan, the tribe,
different dialects, and any other local division that might exist. Fifth, the pyramid, in its
religious aspects, connects the individuals of the society to what exists beyond mortality
and the mere ephemerality of human existence. And Sixth, the material requirements for
building the pyramid would cause, as well as require, that the town or city surrounding the
pyramid be the major commercial center for the entire area.
It is the construction of the pyramids that defines and unifies the human identity of
all members of that society, and of other societies beyond. The pyramids are not an
epiphenomenon of something; rather they are the basis of what makes it possible for an
antecedent civilization to exist. Without the pyramids or something like the pyramids
there would be no organizing principle to maintain a civilization. Since pyramids have
been found all over the place, and are not necessarily contemporaneous, one can
hypothesize from the point of view stated above that the construction of the pyramids in
the pre-ancient world would represent the constructable extent of the scientific
knowledge known on the planet during that period. A proper study of the pyramids from
this perspective could achieve a general hypothesis of what kind of science existed at that
time, and what kind of science did not exist.
In trying to achieve any kind of reconstruction of the scientific capacities of the
civilizations that built these pyramids, so that we could come to understand the societies
that the pyramids created, the predecessors of who we are today, we run into some
serious political problems within our current society and its rulers regarding the
accepted views of how civilizations emerged on our planet. Tremendous obstacles have
been placed on discovering any evidence that is contrary to the accepted views of a
gradual evolution of Neolithic villages to river valley civilizations such as in Egypt,
Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, and China. This situation is not helped by the
archaeological problem that most of the evidence of the earliest pre-ancient civilizations
and how they would have developed would most likely today be found under water and off
the coasts due to the fact that the ancient sea levels 10-12 thousand years ago were
anywhere from 200 to 400 feet lower than today.
Given the incredible evidence of the orientations of all the pyramids in their
astronomical aspects, one of the more obvious things that one could say about the
builders of the pyramids is that they had a very sophisticated understanding of the
motions of the heavens, up to and including the roughly 26,000 year cycle of the
precession of the equinox. Such astronomical knowledge would have great application in
astronavigation. This means that these societies would be capable with such knowledge
to be able sail the open seas without the aid landmarks. The very idea that it is possible
that pre-ancient cultures were masters of the sea is something that deeply shakes the
foundations of the accepted views of prehistory.
If 12,000 years ago there were peoples of the seas traveling all over the world, the
accepted views on the origins of pre-Columbian societies in the Americas would have to

go out the window. How could all the diversity of cultures, languages, levels of
development, and appearances of the inhabitants of the pre-Columbian Americas all be
the descendants of a group of nomads who crossed over from Siberia allegedly in search
of a diminishing supply of mastodons some no more than 12,000 years ago? If sea
peoples existed then the world was much more connected in prehistory than the
accepted views could ever imagine. In other words discoveries in art and science that
were being made in one part of the world, could by sea, be transmitted to other parts of
the world. These are just some of the profound issues that are raised surrounding the
issue of the pyramids, and what level of scientific knowledge was demonstrated in their
construction.
Image you were alive during a period when such a pyramid was current. Imagine you
lived a very marginal existence a significant distance from the pyramid. One day you
encountered one of your acquaintances who had traveled outside and met someone in a
neighboring area who In turn had traveled to the area of the pyramid. Imagine the
fantastic story of what was seen and how it worked. In that conversation you are plunged
into a crisis. Do you believe or do you disbelieve your acquaintance and the person your
acquaintance claimed to have met? If your acquaintance and the person met by your
acquaintance are not lying, then what kind of world are you living in? This is a serious
cognitive crisis. How could something like that have been constructed? No it is not
possible! If it is possible, then how is it possible? This is how the impact of civilization
works. It is not just technology; it is even more the cognitive crisis and change that occur
in the identity of individuals that drives the development of a civilization, as well as open
the door to the greater assimilation of that technology.
Imagine the same scenario in Europe. The same individual now is a peasant serf in a
village far away from any town. Imagine the effect on that person of walking into a major
cathedral. Why were cathedrals built in Europe? Cathedrals in Europe were built for the
same six reasons noted above on why the pyramids were built. Cathedral building in
Europe was the essential vehicle for building and expanding civilization throughout
Europe. Cathedrals like the pyramids were the concrete manifestation of the scientific,
artistic, religious, and productive powers of a society in its efforts to proselytize and
awaken the awareness of the existence of such powers to the broader population which is
not aware. This developing awareness is the basis for the existence of a civilization and
its definition.
So we now come to the original question of why ancient pyramids existed all over the
world? The simple answer from the perspective being presented here is first of all, we are
all human. Second; that the pyramids, wherever they were constructed, were the best
representative of what could be done with the existing knowledge at that time and place
to create a civilization. In other words, pyramids were built all over the world because that
was the means by which you created a civilization in its concrete form. That is you
couldnt create a civilization without something like the pyramids. As far as the existing
knowledge at that time, it appears that that knowledge was primarily the knowledge of

astronomy and constructive geometry. Third, this knowledge was not generally contained
in one place, or kept secret, but was relatively shared across the oceans.
So from this perspective one could look at pyramid building as the physical unification
and boundary of science, economics, art, and religion of a given period of history. From all
appearances that period of history ends in a dark age with remnant survivals here and
there. What kind of catastrophes were the causes of this needs to be discovered.
Civilizations do not survive or prosper on their own. Human beings have to create them,
promote them, and build them.
Pyramid building is an expression of our desire to be human. Perhaps it is too obvious
and answer to say we are human and that is how we create civilization for humans
