Zawyet El Aryan: Proof The Egyptian Government is Hiding History

Despite vast amounts of open desert and undeveloped land around Cairo, the Egyptian government built a military base directly on one of the country’s most impressive ancient sites – an underground facility just north of the unfinished pyramid at Zawyet El Aryan. They chose the location and started construction directly following the international attention drawn to the site after the release of the movie “Land of the Pharaohs” (1955). This decision instantly shut down the ability of scientists and archaeologists to inspect the site and study it more in a publicly accountable fashion. The site was dismissed as an unfinished pyramid, however, no entirely constructed pyramid contains stairs leading to its underground chambers, and nothing about it matches the underground chambers of any other pyramid in the area.

The decision came right after the best marketing an ancient site could ask for – a long feature in a Hollywood film guaranteed to stir up interest. Its ideal location, only a few miles away from the Great Pyramids, places it right next to the most popular attraction in the country. Absent any outside influence with ulterior motives; the incentives align to market this site as a tourist attraction because so much of the country’s economy depends on tourism. According to the CIA Front Organization, USAID (2), tourism accounts for about 15% of the Egyptian economy. On their website, the Front Organization openly admits:

“Through the Integrated Management of Cultural Tourism project, USAID partners with the Government of Egypt to streamline laws and regulations and develop public private partnership models that incentivize private sector investment in cultural tourism. The approach seeks to not only restore physical structures, but also add economic value by incorporating business opportunities, such as entertainment and event spaces. The program builds the capacity of micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises to capitalize on cultural tourism. Focusing on Historic Cairo and Luxor, the program will increase Egypt’s tourism revenues, benefiting the local communities that live in and around historic sites.” (3)

According to teleSUR contributor Thomas Mountain, “The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) was created by Pax Americana to provide a cover for CIA agents under the pretext of helping the 3rd World. U.S. Imperialism has to do some good or its potential targets would not open their doors to intelligence agents posing as do-gooders, so USAID was created.” (2)

Given this context, one has to wonder if the private-sector investment in Egypt mentioned on USAID’s website is selectively used to control the narrative by funneling money to people and programs that push their desired talking points and hide the parts the front organization’s benefactors do not want to be known. On the same page, the front organization also admits it has directly invested millions of dollars in the country, and the U.S. Government has invested over $100M to protect (or, in my opinion, influence the narrative of) Egypt’s extraordinary cultural heritage (2).

It is worth noting that “two recent books on the CIA show, religion — in particular, Roman Catholicism — colored the Agency from its earliest days to its greatest crisis, the spectacular 1970s revelations that it had tricked and lied to the public.” (6) Coincidentally, the birthplace of Catholicism is also home to the looters of the Library of Alexandria as it was burned down (7).

According to mainstream archaeology, they claim the underground facility at Zawyet El Aryan must be an unfinished pyramid. However, their only evidence for this seems to be because it is close to an unfinished pyramid. However, there are no other examples of pink granite being found underneath any pyramids, and it was only used for select sites of great importance as it’s one of the most challenging types of rock to work with due to its malleability. In addition to it being extremely heavy and brutal to work with, the closest quarries were over 500 miles away, so transportation would have been highly laborious given our current understanding of how they moved their building materials.

Pink granite is incorporated into this underground site in peculiar ways, including a 30-ton block at the center of the pit (1). Below that, there are additional layers of gigantic granite block – why would the creators use such a hard stone here, which drastically increases the difficulty of construction?

The hieroglyph inscriptions, proved indecipherable by Egyptologists, who still cannot agree on how they translate, add to the site’s mystery. The site’s discoverer (Italian archaeologist Alessandro Barsanti) also found a unique solid pink granite “oval vat” – a formation never found anywhere else in Egypt. Regarding this oval vat, Barsanti notes:

“the Egyptian architects had taken their measures carefully to protect it. They had spread over the lid a layer of lime, and over the lime a thick bed of well-spread clay, which entirely prevented it from contact with the limestone blocks stacked over it. These had, moreover, been placed regularly on the clay side by side, so as to enclose the precious form with a kind of insulating protection. The lid was luted in the vat with plaster, and it was with real emotion that I put myself in a position to lift it. All precautions taken made me hope that the contents would be most precious, but I was once more deceived: when the inside of the tank appeared, I found it completely empty. I only noticed that the side walls were lined with a black band that was 0 meter and 10 centimeters in height. It is probably the very light deposit of some liquid enclosed in the vat as an offering or libation, and which would have evaporated over the years. It has been hypothesized that this tank was an unused sarcophagus, but I do not think so. The care with which it was protected, proves that it contained something, and the blackish deposit indicates the nature of this content. One would not have taken the precaution of concealing it under an enormous mass of blocks if it had been empty at that time.” (5)
