- I've got a small booklet at home (actually in storage since we're in the
- process of moving) published in the 1930's that discusses the Great Pyramid.
- One section of the booklet analyzes, in excruciating detail, a series of linear
- markings found along one interior passageway. By the author's interpretation
- this is some sort of cosmic timeline: a center point locates the present (the
- time the pyramid was built). Going backwards up the line are marks for major
- events in history (reign of different phaorohs, the flood, the creation, etc.).
- Going forwards along the line has marks for sundry major events until we get to
- the end of time.
-
- At the time the booklet was published the author used the length of the line
- and spacing of the marks to predict that the end of the world would be some
- date (I forget exactly when) in the 1980's. I suppose that that was a pretty
- safe prediction to make in the 1930's.
