AH: The hotels are full of groups coming here to do rituals in the pyramid during these eclipses. Also the same during the equinoxes and solstices. There was no blood rituals going on. No murders at the pyramid. "I had many people contact me to say this was impossible because the pyramid would be full of tourists at that time." AH: No it is very possible for groups to do their rituals here with tourists around. Groups doing rituals with the tourists present is extremely common. You know why? The group, prior to entering, is too locked into their ritual 'opening a stargate' type of fantasy to think about the reality of what goes on here. So they end up inside the pyramid to do their rituals and suddenly tourists start coming in. "I was at the public entrance to the Great Pyramid myself today and I intended to go in during the eclipse to see what would happen. At one o'clock in the afternoon, around an hour and forty minutes before the eclipse reached it's peak over Giza, the inside of the pyramid was CLOSED to the public. " AH: I was in the pyramid most of the night. Went back to the flat to do some work. I was at the Sphinx to take photos for the Project Duat website at this time Icke mentions. Then headed up to the Great Pyramid later to do the same. Yes, the pyramid was closed... but I didn't have any trouble getting inside, although no more tickets were being sold. I simply know the watchmen and what it takes to get in. But considering that I help the watchman's son pass his English exam..... "Inside... standard run-of-the-mill newage group. No doubt opening up the next dimension for all of us. But somehow life goes on as normal after they leave." An Arab guide I had with me who has lived and worked at the pyramids for 70 years, said he was bewildered at what was happening. It was new to him." AH: Who was this... Hakim? Don't confuse "bewildered" with "not telling the tourist before-hand hoping to score the business somehow". "I was later told that just THREE weeks ago a new policy was imposed in which only 150 people a day are allowed inside and once that number have gone in, no more are allowed inside." AH: The monuments go through a hard-time with this vast amount of tourists. Many like to blame Egypt. I don't see too much Arabic graffiti carved into the walls or rocks. Mostly English. Even a group doing rituals with candles will leave the wax on the floors. Or fill the chambers with insence. A while back I found empty KFC fast food containers in the Tomb of Osiris. Does Osiris eat at KFC? I know that watchmen and workers are eating kofta, fuul, tamayaa, koshery... etc... Egyptian food, not touristic priced fast food. "What a coincidence that this number was reached at one o'clock today and the last people left the pyramid at 2.10pm, half an hour before the eclipse reached it's peak here." AH: Limit of 300 people per day. 150 in the morning... 150 in the afternoon. Although some people still like to think there is secret stuff going on and people are not allowed to go in, I think 300 is far from nothing. And what about at night? Permission is still available for groups to go into the pyramid for night-time meditations. But you say that access was closed early? Are you considering the following: - 150 or 300 is a small amount of tourists. These tickets can get bought up pretty quickly considering the amount of groups that want to be here during these special days. After that... no more tickets sold. The little booth is closed. Two more watchmen added and the ticket man either goes home or back to the office. I recall once going to a movie in California and the tickets were all sold out. A conspiracy no doubt, eh? - Ticket prices are 20 LE (approx $5) for foreigners. 1 LE for Egyptians. Now consider this logic, for it is reality. If there is a limit on the amount of tickets sold for day access to the pyramid... what does this mean for tour companies who are dealing with bus loads of groups? They haul the groups up there and no tickets are available. So what is stopping Mr. Tour Leader from going to the ticket office first thing in the morning and buying 50 tickets to ensure his group will get in? Why not buy the whole lot of tickets even if your group is small? Then you get private access without the high cost of antiquity permits. In other words.... the fact that the GP was closed off from any further access means the ticket count reached its limit. Either a lot of tourists on their own coming, or travel groups buying up before hand tickets for their groups. Although the limit might be 300 a day.... what if you counted 500 tourists in and out on this day of the eclipse? Is the conspiracy related to the Illuminati? Go through the proceedure of getting official antiquity permission for your group and you too can get in even though the ticket limit has been reached. " A couple from the Netherlands who were the last members of the public to come out told me that they were left in no doubt whatsoever that they had to leave then and would be allowed to stay no longer." AH: Ok.... this is normal. There very well might be a group who has official permission to go in. Like when you go to a restaurant and see the table are reserved. You cannot sit there. A group who has official permission to be in there alone is very common. And other tourists are asked to leave. The term "official permission" makes some think "cahoots with the Egyptian govt". Really, it is a common and standard procedure of getting permits and paying a fee. Even if the group has important people in it.... I could myself get the name list from the Antiquity office if I choose to. There are no secrets. "There are ancient water tunnels under the pyramid and the official entrance is not the only way in." AH: Well I have been hearing this for years from famous researchers and published authors - people who have resources, contacts and funds. But still none of them can get any evidence. Very strange. "Now all this is one mighty co-incidence given what Arizona Wilder has said elsewhere on this website." AH: The only coincidence that is going on is that logic and reality seems to alway fill these rumor voids. Are you a rumor mill walker Mr. Icke? Or an investigative doer? If the Illuminati was inside the GP at the time of the eclipse when it was closed, then why didn't you stroll over to the big buses that brought them there and find out from the driver which hotel they came from? All it takes is usually smoking a cigarette with the driver with the excuse that you need the shade of the bus for a while. Later, you can find out a lot sitting in hotel resturants listening to the groups talking while they eat. If you are a real doer... you get here a month before, rent a flat for $200 near the pyramids (not the village - perhaps El-Ramaya). Setup your zoom camera on your balcony and systematically photograph each and every person that comes in day and night. But I forgot... they are coming into the pyramid from underground tunnels right? "I spent the time of the eclipse as far inside the pyramid as I could get at the closed door to the tunnel that takes you deeper inside. The energy during the eclipse there was just incredible. -David Icke" AH: Why puzzles me more is why David didn't contact me if he wanted to get in. Then he would of not been sitting at the gate. There is a reason why I respond to such reports. I feel it is very negative to present rumors to the public without facts. Especially the harsh rumors that secret murders were going to occur here inside the pyramid. I find that this focuses a lot of negative energy towards this peaceful and wonderful country... as Icke and Arizona instill the mental image of blood and guts being spilled all over the chambers in this sacred pyramid in some sadistic illuminati death hunt. Icke is quick to post such rumors on his web, and speak about such things to large groups... but once here his investigative skills involve sitting at the entrance of the pyramid gate and trying to come up with a conspiracy for tickets being sold out. These words are not meant to discount, but rather challenge. Ok... there are the rumors... here are the facts. Either spend the time thinking I am a dis-information agent in some X-file scenario.... or challenge yourself to upgrade your investigative skills.
