I personally demonstrated the dolerite pounder technique that mainstream Egyptology points to as the primary method for carving granite at this scale. The obelisk itself is estimated at 137 tonnes and was never completed, which raises legitimate questions about whether the project was abandoned or whether something else was happening at this site. Watch the clip and bring your analysis to the thread. I want to hear your reasoning, not just your gut reaction. What does the evidence actually support?

I was meditating at Philae Temple in Egypt and had an out-of-body experience ✨️

Every genuine initiatory tradition, from the Egyptian mystery schools to the Hermetic lodges to the early Rosicrucian orders, began with a version of the same question. Who are you beneath everything you have been told you are? The Kybalion calls this the Principle of Mentalism. The All is Mind. The universe is mental. What you take yourself to be at the deepest level determines what you are capable of experiencing and creating in the world. The ancient Egyptians understood that the subconscious mind was the foundation. The part of you that is already connected to everything. The part that dreams, that creates, that knows before the analytical mind catches up. The question they were training initiates to answer was practical. Who is actually operating your life? The conditioned personality? Or something older and deeper than that? This week, I want to ask you the same thing the mystery schools asked. What is the one belief about yourself that, if you let it go, would change everything? Drop it in the comments. This community is a space where that kind of honesty is safe. Read The Kybalion here: https://www.sacred-texts.com/eso/kyb/index.htm Which part of you is actually running your life right now?

I want to be transparent with you about what this community is and where it is going. Right now, it is free and early. Every one of you found this place before it was promoted, before it was built out, before it had a content library. That matters to me. You are the foundation of what this becomes. Here is what is coming over the next few months. Weekly deep dives that go further than the YouTube videos can go. The videos plant the seed. The community is where we actually dig into the soil. A reading list built from the library behind me. Schwaller de Lubicz. Manly P. Hall. The Kybalion. Jonathan Black. John Anthony West. We will work through these texts together and apply what they contain. Practical content. Ritual, sigil work, subconscious reprogramming, the application of Hermetic principles to daily life. Ancient wisdom made functional for the modern mind. And eventually a paid tier for those who want to go deeper still. That comes later, and when it does, the people who were here at the beginning will be looked after. For now, I want to hear from you. What specific topic do you most want to go deeper into within this community? Egypt? Magick? The subconscious? The mystery schools? The Hermetic principles? Please tell me what you came here to learn, and I will build toward it. What brought you to Ryan's Knowledge Room?

The Sphinx faces east. Every morning for thousands of years, possibly tens of thousands, it has watched the sun rise. Mainstream archaeology dates its construction to around 2500 BC. But geologist Robert Schoch of Boston University published peer-reviewed research demonstrating that the vertical weathering patterns on the walls of the Sphinx enclosure are consistent with prolonged rainfall erosion. The last time that region received that level of rainfall was before 7000 BC at the earliest. Schwaller de Lubicz was the first modern scholar to draw attention to this. John Anthony West brought it to a wider audience. Robert Schoch provided the geological credentials. The esoteric tradition places the Sphinx at the dawn of the Age of Leo, approximately 11,500 years ago. On that date, the Sphinx's eastward gaze would have met the constellation of Leo rising on the horizon at the spring equinox. The lion looking at the lion. Whatever date you accept, the monument is older than the civilisation that inherited it. The builders of the later pyramids at Saqqara and Meidum were attempting to replicate something they could see but no longer fully understood. The quality of construction degrades progressively. The stones get smaller. The precision drops. Those structures have not survived intact. Whoever built the Giza complex possessed knowledge that was already ancient by the time the dynastic Egyptians arrived. The Sphinx is a monument to a teaching. The human face above the lion's body encodes the central principle of every genuine mystery school. The animal nature is your foundation. The work is integration. Manly P. Hall called the Sphinx the armed guardian of the Mysteries, placed between man and his divine possibilities. You are the man standing at the threshold. Drop a comment below. What is your personal instinct on the age of the Sphinx? And what does the teaching of integration mean to you in your own life right now? https://robertschoch.com/
