'According to Abd el Kader ben Mohammed el Makrizi: "King Surid, son of Sahluk, who lived three hundered years before the flood, once dreamt that the earth was twisted round, the stars fell from the sky, and all mankind took refuge in terror. He gathered his interpreters of dreams and asked them what his dream meant. The most distinguished of them, Philemon, said: "I shall tell the king a dream, I had a year ago, and of which I spoke to no one. I dreamt that I was sitting with the king on the tower of Amsus. Then, suddenly, the sky came down and surrounded our heads like a dome; the stars fell down over us and all mankind fled in horror to the royal palace, crying out to the king for help. He lifted his arms against the sky and ordered me to do the same and we were terror-stricken. Suddenly we saw the heavens open, and a gleaming light sprang forth and the sun rose above us. Then we cried to it for help, and it spoke to us saying: "The firnament shall return to its former site", and I awakened full of horror". The King answered "Examine the position of the stars and look if anything new is going to happen". They did their best, as accurately as possible, and told that a great flood would come and afterwards a fire, from the constellation Leo burning up all the world. Then the King said, "look if this disaster is going to befall our country?". They said, "Yes, the flood will befall most of the country". Then he said, "Look if it will flourish again or will it remain inundated"? They answered, "No, our country will again be as it was and flourish". Then he ordered the pyramids to be built and the Nile to be led into certain canals, and he filled the Pyramid with talismans, wonders, treasures, and idols, and with mummies of kings, and according to the Kings order the soothsayers recorded all that the wise men had to said. On the walls and ceilings of the pyramid all the secret sciences of Egypt were recorded, and pictures of the starry sky were painted thereupon, and the names of curing and harmful things, and besides all they knew of arithmetic and geometry, understandable to anyone who knows the language and its writing. And when the building of the pyramids was about to begin, he had huge columns and stone flags carved and granite fetched from Assuan…"

In Abou Balkhi is to be read: "The wise men, previous to the flood, foreseeing an impending judgment from heaven, either by submersion or fire, which would destroy every created thing, built upon the tops of the mountains in Upper Egypt many pyramids of stone, in order to have some refuge against the approaching calamity. Two of these buildings exceeded the rest in height, being four hundred cubits high and as many broad and as many long. They were built with large blocks of marble, and they were so well put together that the joints were scarcely perceptible. Upon the exterior of the building every charm and wonder of physic was inscribed".

Finally Hohlenberg names another Arabian author, al Beruni, who tells that the great flood "stopped at the mountian-range on the eastern side of the Nile just opposite of the Pyramids. They were built by people from the West who foresaw the coming flood and were covered with water till the middle of their sides".

Outside of the fact that Cheops name was found engraved there was also another engraving of a certain name that Brunton points out of "Khnem", and know one knows who this Khnem is? Hohlenberg deduced the names on the stones are related to quarry marks or identification marks after having cut the elements out of the Mokattam hills. Cheops name has appeared at the mines of Sinai as well as on Elephantine Island, and on a rocky Island in the Nile by the first cataract. Also, Cheops was never declared in inscriptions to be buried at the Great Pyramid!!!!! In regards to what Herodotus says on this, that "There are neither subterranean chambers under it nor has a canal from the Nile been led into to it as it has been into the other pyramid in which Cheops himself is said to have been buried and where it flows through a brick ditch round and Island where the tomb itself is situated". It would seem the Herodotus or his source never visited the pyramids by this description? One statement completely ignored is this comment by Herodotus about, "Cheops closed the temples". Nevertheless, the temple of the cat goddess Bast in Bubastis was first built by Cheops and Chefren. Here is the crux of the question, how can ferocious Cheops who closed the temples, at his death be busy building a temple!? The comment seems only to get a sound meaning if the temple in question is the great pyramid? The one of Cheops was actually closed, by a solid wedge of granite put into the entrance of the ascending corridor, leading to the grand gallery of the Great Pyramid of Giza? This may bring questions upon Kephrens as well of his lack of connection to the second pyramid? "Mr. Sykes, who has made careful investigations on this point, came to the conclusion that there may well be hidden chambers in the Pyramids not yet found, and there is no reason at all why the one of Cheops should differ from its twin in having an upward system of corridors, a system which seems a most important feature in the building plan." Is it possible to say, when this blocking up of the pyramid took place? He asks then can there be a date when the great pyramid was built. Two, theories have been put forward, both of which use as a starting point the bases of astronomical facts, taking a starting point in certain constellations of heavenly bodies distinctly referred to in measures and angles of the great pyramid. . The first theory, basing its results on the former positions of Alcyone and Draconis and in relation to between these stars and certain lines in the pyramid, arrives at the year about 2,140 B.C. While the other one-and far most probable (as among other things some of the Arabian authors directly mention the stars in question when speaking of the age of the pyramids)- treats the stars Sirius and Vega in the same way and thereby arrives at about 12,000 B.C. Furthermore, the statement of the year 2140 B.C. is backed chiefly by some lines that cut the walls of an inside corridor pointing to these stars, which marks could easily have been put in after the pyramid was built. Hoffman goes onto say that the 12,000 B.C. is the more likely date, and basing on the statements of other writers that the Planet Luna capture was before the building of pyramids. Hoffman goes onto say that with this information about the warnings in dreams by the king and priests of Atlantis. That this may have been what Plato's unfinished next verse would have been about the foreseeing of Atlantis destruction or their preparations for it, then the pronouncement by god of its heavenly doom. Especially in Critias section by Plato that ends when Zeus was about to make a pronouncement.

Hoffman goes on to say, "Moreover, is it not most probable, that these pyramids were themselves almost exact copies of the corresponding edifices in the Lost Atlantis? It would be a natural thing to the Atlanteans to copy their most sacred buildings, in a comparatively safe place, perhaps the sun temples themselves, and thus it may be in direct continuation that the Egyptians used them in the service of the sacred mysteries as a place of initiation. Why Cheops, probably thousands of years later, closed the temples, we can not say, but Egyptologists, a little more willing to co-operate, should certainly be able to give some most valuable hints to this matter."

He goes on to say, "that from King Mykerinos the aboriginal type of Egyptian pyramids is abandoned and the copying of the Giza Pyramids begins. " He then mentions, "We usually forget that the sentence: "The bigger the pyramid, the greater the power" is illogical and should be replaced with: "The bigger the pyramid, the greater the decadence". Mykerinos tried to make his pyramid come up to the two mysterious Giza-pyramids, and his attempt turned out so miserably, that his successors desisted from placing their pyramids in the shadow of their patterns. They built them elsewhere in Egypt, not step pyramids, as the predecessors of Cheops, but "simple pyramids" like those of Mykerinos. The Meydum and Sakkhara edifices, attributed to Snefru and Zoser, most intimately corresponds with the American pyramids as shown by Mr. Sykes (compare respectively the temples of Tikal and the central pyramid of Chichen-Itza), but every later building in Egypt is a different type."

He concludes with a question: "Where are the inscriptions so often referred to, but obviously not to be found on the pyramids today? According to Manetoh, they were copied in books and "deposited in the penetralia of the temples of Egypt". These maunscripts must have been the source from which the priests of Sais had their knowledge, telling Solon that "whatever happened either in your country or in ours, or any other region of which we are informed-if any action which is noble or great or in any other way remarkable has taken place, all that has been written down of old and is preserved in our temples".

Hoffman contends that Manetho assertion that "Egypt before Menes was ruled over by "Gods" is veritable history seems to need no discussion. There is no reason at all why the Egyptian gods and goddesses should not be historical persons as well as the Greek ones, and it is one of the marvels that Egyptologists after having found Osiris' tomb at Abydos, reject his existence)". "As to the inscriptions themselves, they were seen for the last time by Cantor, who lived not very long after Plato. It is not very difficult to find out what happened to them afterwards. An earthquake took place in the year 908 A.D., and badly damaging the pyramids, and there is no reason why there should not have been others before then. The gleaming white cover of the pyramids, referred to by classical authors and doubtless bearing the said inscriptions, fell down. The Siriadic columns were said to have been lost. Many of Cairo's 700 mosques were built of this ruin-material, and an investigation of these buildings, if it could ever be made, should give interesting results." Lastly, about the Sphinx: "well accords with tradition telling of an underground passage connecting it with the great pyramid", and "I am perfectly convinced that the solution of a good deal of our present problems concerning the Egyptian-Atlantean connection lie buried here."
