. The oldest known legends connected with the large pyramids in Giza are not 50 or 100 years, but approximately 2500 years old. At that time the Greek traveler Herodotus wrote down legends about the tyrant pharaoh Chufu, his whore-daughter Henutsen and many other horror stories. The peak of the "old" mysteries was reached about 1400 years ago, shortly after the Arabs had conquered Egypt. They found the gigantic ruins, but nobody could give them information about purpose or originator of these buildings. Because even the conquered people had no more knowledge about their ancestors. Legends and rumors soon sprouted: they were artificial mountains, made for ancient kings to survive the Flood. Or built by Noah, in order to protect the word of God and the knowledge of the universe there against the tides. Treasure chambers should be in them, filled with gold, jewels and secret knowledge. They should contain weapons from the Gods, together with conserved people in luminescent coffins and much more. These first pyramid mysteries were summarized in the 15th Century by the historian and religion scholar al-Makrizi in his most famous work, the Hitat.

In the meantime our knowledge about Egypt and the pyramids has advanced dramatically. Since we now can read the letters of the ancient Egyptians again (the so called hieroglyphics, which means "holy signs") we don't have to believe in mythical stories made up long after the downfall of the Egyptian civilization, we can get first-hand information from the Egyptians themselves! We can read the intentions of the originators right from the walls of the temples and tombs.

Of course we can only read what is written. Unfortunately no writings have been found in the large pyramids of the 4th and 5th Dynasty (between 2600 and 2400 BCE). And so We have nearly the same situation as 1400 years ago. And the same questions are asked: How old are they? What was their purpose? Who built them? Are there secret messages in them? While the "established" science claims, that they have reasonable answers for all these questions, a large group of alternative historians have doubts. They developed their own ideas. But how do they compare with what the "orthos" have to offer? Have they better arguments than Graham Hancocks "I have the feeling that it must be older"?
