Salima Ikram on the “Floating Pyramid” of Pharaoh Senusret II

“Egypt’s ‘floating’ pyramid mystery solved with 4,000-year-old ‘treasure trove’ discovery

Pyramid of Lahun: Expert explores Egypt’s ‘floating’ pyramid

In the 12th Dynasty of the ancient civilisation, Pharaoh Senusret II ordered for the construction of the Pyramid of Lahun. The fourth ruler of this period in history took a great deal of interest in the Faiyum Oasis region – south of Cairo – and began work on an extensive irrigation system from Bahr Yussef through to Lake Moeris in Middle Egypt. The purpose of his project was to increase the amount of cultivable land in that area and, as a result of his efforts, it would remain the political capital of Egypt through to the 13th Dynasty.

When he died in 1878 BC the pharaoh was buried in his monument and now, the Science Channel’s ‘Unearthed’ documentary has unravelled the secret to his incredible architecture.

The series explained: “Built around 1870 BC, it’s a mighty monument clad in gleaming limestone that rises 160 feet above the desert.

“At the top, a black granite capstone makes a connection to the heavens.

“Next to it, a smaller pyramid – for the pharaoh’s queen – and eight stone mastaba memorials.

“It was all enclosed by a huge mud-brick wall. The complex was said to be surrounded by water, seemingly floating in the desert.

“It stands in Egypt’s vast western desert. This is a fertile area of the desert known as the Faiyum Oasis.”

Leading archaeologist Dr Salima Ikram revealed her theory on how the pharaoh created the illusion that his pyramid was floating.

She said: “What a sight it must have been for people, to look at something like that – this mountain of a pyramid encircled by water.

“We’re in the middle of a desert, but in the distance, you can see there is lots of greenery and vegetation.

How the ancient site may have once looked (Image: YOUTUBE/SCIENCE CHANNEL)

“The fact that there is a lush oasis here means there is a constant supply of water.”

During the documentary, experts used drone footage to track what they believed to be the route of the ancient waterways.

The narrator explained: “The pyramid is built about 10 miles from the River Nile.

“In ancient times, the annual floods inundate the barren land with life-giving water and minerals.

“A huge canal constructed by an earlier pharaoh also channels water from the mighty river to the Faiyum.

“Salima thinks that the Nile and the canal are not the only sources of water.”

Salima Ikram identified a modern dam (Image: YOUTUBE/SCIENCE CHANNEL)

Dr Ikram then put forward her theory.

She added: “This large water channel that connects to the Nile is one of the main sources of water for this whole area near the pyramids.

“I wonder what it would have been like 4,000 years ago when it was much wetter, it rained much more and there were even powerful floods.

“The amount of water here makes it a bit curious that someone should choose their site to build a pyramid.

“Senusret II could have been buried with his father several miles to the north of here, but he actively came and sought out and chose this place so he must have had a very good reason to do that.”

Visiting a nearby dam, Dr Ikram explained the crucial role she believes it played in ancient Egypt.

Dr Ikram said the pharaoh’s work played a crucial role (Image: YOUTUBE/SCIENCE CHANNEL)

She added: “What’s really interesting is if you go all the way down, this dam is built on the foundation of Senusret II’s dam.

“This is the first dam ever built in the Faiyum and he used it to tame this region and turn it into an agricultural treasure trove.”

And the series detailed how it played a key role thereafter.

The narrator continued: “The pharaohs before Senusret dug out a waterway from the Nile to the Faiyum, creating a massive lake and oasis.

“Senusret himself builds dikes and irrigation channels to distribute water to the surrounding desert.

“Drawing water from the oasis, Senusret creates 17,000 acres of new farmland near the lagoon and he builds his pyramid right next to it to commemorate his achievement and life’s work.” “

BLACK WARRIORS, KINGS AND GODS | AfricanAmerica.org

BLACK WARRIORS, KINGS AND GODS

AUSAR (OSIRUS)

Ausar is one of the most important figures in the history of world civilization. According to ancient knowledge, Ausar (Osirus) contributed to the creation of Khemitic (Egyptian) civilization through a series of new programs that began long before the Great Flood. The prehistoric civilization of Ta-Seti was more advanced than Egypt and existed before Egyptian civilization by three thousand years (TIME MAGAZINE, 1999).

Ausar also travelled to the East and established settlements in India including a City called Nysa after the Nysa of Egypt (read "African Presence in Early Asia," edt. by Runoko Rashidi and Ivan Van Sertima, Transaction Publications. Also read "Susu Economics," pub. by 1stbooks Library, www.1stbooks.com

Ausar is credited for the inventiontion and improvement of forms of arts, sciences, literature, culture and many other arts and sciences.

KHEKPERE SENUSRET (CECROPS)

Khekpere Senusret known as "Cecrops" by the Greeks is said to have founded the City of Athens and contributed to the creation of Greek civilization before the Greek tribes migrated from Central Europe among a number of Europeans who migrated Southerward between 1700 B.C. and afterwards.

Senusret was also a warrior who established a colony on the Black Sea and maintained thousands of African troops from Egypt in the region. The Greek writer Herodotus describes these Africans as Colchians and compares them to the original Negro Egyptian people.

As recently as the 1940's, there were still remnants of African people living in the region of Armenia and the Black Sea region.

AHMOSE 1, THE PHARAOH WHO LIBERATED EGYPT FROM THE HYKSOS INVADERS

Ahmose 1 liberated Egypt from the Semitic Hyksos invaders after about two hundred years of brutal and oppressive rule. The Hyksos, who were pastoralist Semites from the Southwest Asia region invaded Egypt. After proper planning and military skill, Ahmose drove out the Hyksos armies. Yet, more Semites and others including the Assyrians, Babylonians, Libyans, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs and Europeans entered into Egypt as the centuries went by, changing the very gene pool of Egypt from Negroid African to being today more mixed in the North and purer Black Egyptian in the Southern part.

Tarharka Nubian Pharaoh of the 25th Dynasty, about 650's B.C.

ODE TO TARHARKA

The God has come from the lands upriver to liberate and rule downriver, the God so blessed by Re the Sun, tall and well built, hue as the night so strong, all the userpers fled out west, these petty kings were not our guests, for centuries invaders ruled in Khem, ravaged our motherland, all them.

Chorus

Tarharka mighty God and King, Swept from the South with lightening sting, his armies destroyed all the invaders, from lands beyond the sand and of mauraders, who placed themselves on our throne, claimed our history and claimed our homes, but we the sons and daughters of Nubia-Cush, no one shall make us slaves, not us.

And so he looked out to the Khuru Sea, the barbarians assembled in the Polynese and so his men they came from East, and said be ready for the Nenivese, The Sons of Asshur plan to attack, and its our duty to push them back, and keep Nubia-Cush safe from all of them, and spread our power beyond Khem.

III

Year thirty-five thirty-nine after Solar Calendar, we heard the thundering of the invader their horses swept through the Sea of Sand came across the Sinai one million, but we Nubian-Cushites of the Gods, used our minds and defeated the hordes. and let our descendants know as well in or lands no Shemites shall dwell.

Tarharka and the Nubians ruled Egypt during the 25th Dynasty. Tarharka was one of the most important Pharaohs in Egyptian history because he and those in his Dynasty restored Egyptian culture and greatness back to Egypt after Egypt had been dominated by a numnber of foreign rulers and the pure Egyptian culture and religions were being lost. Tarharka was a powerful Pharaoh who was controlled the Mediterranean region. He also established a Nubian presence in Spain and the Nubians maintained trade into the Atlantic during the 25 Dynasty. See more on the Nubian Dynasty at http://community.webtv.net/nubianem

NARMER, UNITED THE TWO KINGDOMS OF EGYPT ABOUT 3500 B.C.

Narmer was one of the early Egyptian Pharaohs and played a major role in uniting the Delta region with the rest of Egypt as early as 3500 B.C.

Tiny tots with minds to know, saying Daddy, Daddy, is it so, is war for real, is war, is real? now Daddy, Daddy what's the deal? and what's a Dad to tell his own, so many suffer, so many have gone,

Tiny tots with minds of their own, why do the tv (media) treat the people less grown, asking Daddy, Daddy is war for all? so to save the oppressed and heed the call? Sudan, Mauritania and West Papua, destroying, enslaving those who are other, religious expanders on the go, seeing a religious empire, but some say no.

And so today the braves they fight, no one will enslave them, its their right, Dinkas, Nubas, Papuans, Mandinkas fighting against the northern invaders, and do we wonder if its just, those who want freedom from this thrust? Nubia-Cushites (South Sudan) driven down to the dust Shall rise again with our help they must.

NUBIAN QUEEN AND SON SEES DESTRUCTON OF ROMAN FORT AT ASWAN BY NUBIAN SOLDIERS

A number of Nubian-Cushite queens called Ka'andakes (Candaces) ruled Nubia-Cush just before the birth of Christ. This queen and her son along with the Nubian-Cushite Army kept the Romans out of Nubia-Cush. In this scene, they are witnessing the burning of the Roman Garrison in Aswan. The Roman army were defeated in Nubia and never attempted to invade that nation again.

Today however, the Nubian-Cushites (South Sudanese) are dealing with a similar situation of foreign cultural and religious control and domination of their lands from a culture and people who also now dominate Egypt. Nubia-Cush was also the first nation on earth to be the victims of Semitic terrorism through the use of constant attacks on their territory, enslavement, destruction of their cities and persistant warfare. Emperor Kalydosos of Nubia-Cush defeated the Arab armies during the 600's A.D., yet later on the Semites were able to infiltrate Nubia-Cush in trickles and in waves and established themselves in the North and using the scheme of taking African women, while declaring the children part of the Semitic culture. This policy is totally against the African idea that no foreign race or group can claim a child or children born to African women on African soil as part of the invaders ethnic or racial group.

Today, the Nubian-Cushites continue to fight for their lands and to maintain their religions and cultures.

ANCIENT WARRIORS FROM BENIN, WEST AFRICA WITH CORAL HELMETS, SHIELDS AND JAVLINS

West Africa was and still is one of the core areas of prehistoric civilization on planet earth. The prehistoric Zingh Empire of the Southwestern Sahara was located in the region of Mauritania, Mali, Burkino Faso, Senegal and the vincinity. The Zingh Empire was the first regional empire to use the red, black and green standard. According to sources, the Zingh Empire existed about 15,000 years ago and included a region from West Africa to Turkey. This empire existed at a time when the Sahara was still covered with lakes, had plant and animal life, vegetation and teamed with human cultures. (Read about the Zingh Empire in the book, "Susu Economics: The History of Pan-African Trade, Commerce, Money and Wealth, " pub. by www.1stBooks.com

Senusret: Okay I want my pillar to have a picture of me making out with another dude on it. That way 2000 years from now, everyone will know what I'm about.

Artist: ...So you want the other man to be Ptah, the Craftsman God of Creation?

Senusret: ...What? Uh. Yeah. Sure. Whatever you want. Just make sure he's stroking my belly. MAKE SURE THEY CAN SEE IT.

Space Strike

“James? James come in.”

The fennec fox searched around for his radio. Answering, “Command, I read you.”

“There’s too many hostiles, we’ve decided to retreat.”

“Damn it!” He thought. This would’ve finally been his way to get out of this assignment, and onto a better ship.

“Alright, I’ll fall back.”

As he headed to the pick up spot, resentment built up. He was going to have to go back and report this to command. He saw the engineers setting up the flares.

“Too many hostiles?”

“Yeah, so command says. Maybe if we didn’t have to ration our ammo we would be able to deal with them.”

“Yeah, well I think if we had more attention given to engineering we’d be able to circumvent rationing more easily.”

The engineers always complained, as did the medics, and the gunners, and the chefs, and custodial staff and everyone else on the ship. The Monroe wasn’t a particularly important ship, and as such it was only allocated a small amount of resources.

James saw the ship come into view. It was an older ship, manufactured around 30 years ago. He’d originally wanted to serve on the Marshall, but he was relegated to this ship instead. The ship landed with a thud, and the hangar door opened as he walked towards it. Getting inside, he took off his helmet as the ship lifted off the ground again.

Making his way to the armory, his friend, a skunk, happened upon him. “Hey James, how’d it go?”

“Oh, hey John. It went alright, wasn’t able to get much done since I couldn’t expend ammo that much.”

“Huh, that sucks.”

“Yeah, think the worst part though is that Captain Andrew’s going to somehow justify it as being necessary for some stupid reason.”

“Yeah, he’d do that. Oh, by the way, you got time later? I’m making pasta and I know you like it.”

“Where’d you get the pasta from?”

“Last starbase, I picked some up. It’s premade and all, but I’m not exactly a pasta expert.”

“Well you should have brought me along then.”

“Yeah, I probably should’ve. Still, you got time?”

He pondered. “Yeah, I should.”

“Great! Thanks!”

“Yeah, no problem.” He’d have to contribute to the battle report, but that could wait for a little.

…

James sat in his chair, trying to consider how to finish his testimony. The “pasta” that John had gotten was actually just macaroni and cheese, not bad, but not actually pasta. Obviously, the reason he wasn’t able to get anything done was because he couldn’t engage with hostiles. But he didn’t want to directly call out the rationing policies, that would earn the ire of the captain, and you never wanted that. He’d just leave it out, best not mention it.

As he walked into the bridge, he saw most of command around the transmitter, including captain Andrew. The grey wolf looked stern and imposing in his official uniform. He went to leave so as not to disturb them, but captain Andrew called out to him.

“Hey! You there! We could use a little help with this!”

James walked up to them.

“Look, you know Arabic, right?”

“First off, nice profiling.” James thought. But then again, he wasn’t wrong. “Yeah, I do.”

“Great, we got a transmission from an Egyptian fleet, but GT’s acting up or something, so a Native speaker’s necessary.”

“Alright, guess I can be useful for once.” He put the headphones on and leaned to the mic.

«This is the Monroe. Please identify.»

«This is the Senusret. We have a high value political prisoner on board, and we are requesting you take him off our hands. We’re willing to offload our cargo in exchange.» James relayed this to command.

“GT worked for that part, but when we asked to identify, it acted weird, so if you could get clarification, we can make a decision.” Andrew responded.

«Understood Senusret. Please clarify the nature of this prisoner.»

«The prisoner is Martin Richards, convicted of sabotage and disruption.»

Relaying this, Andrew asked “Why do they need him offloaded so badly then? What’s the big deal?”

«Senusret, what is the reason for offloading being necessary?»

«Solitary is necessary, but we have no such facilities.»

“Solitary? We have those in the brig, bring him aboard.” Andrew answered.

«Understood Senusret. We’d be willing to take them aboard.»

«Appreciated, we’ll get into range. Be careful though.»

…

James observed the prisoner being led into the bridge. A relatively young leopard, he looked mostly harmless, so he wasn’t sure what was so dangerous about him.

“So, Mr. Richards, what’s so dangerous about you?” The captain asked.

“Well, I’m not dangerous alone. No no no, as a mere man I am nothing.” he answered. “But together, we can be stronger than anyone else.”

“Ok, are you part of a cult? What’s going on with you?”

“I am a union organizer, I inform the workers of their present situation, and organize them into a proper union. I can unionize anything, this crew included.”

“Ok, great. Now I get why you’re needed in solitary. You, James, take him to the brig.”

“Yes sir!”

As James escorted him to the brig, Martin started talking. “So, you’re a soldier, huh?” James didn’t respond.

“You know, you should be able to get a better lot than this. I mean, think about it, you have all the guns, don’t you? What’s command gonna do once you all storm the bridge, huh? You know how they work, don’t you? So why haven’t you already?”

James wasn’t meant to converse with prisoners, but this perked his interest. “Well, Starfleet would just requisition our ship. Besides, my gripes not with command, it’s with Starfleet.”

“Fuck Starfleet. What have they ever done for you? I mean, really. All they do is give you meager rations, and send you on banal missions. I guarantee youse could do a much better job if you weren’t chained down by them.”

James led Martin to the solitary confinement, where he walked right in. “Well, I’ll be staying here for now, but think about what I said, alright?”

Shutting the door, James walked away. Yet, something about that leopard stuck with him.

…

“Hey, John, wanted to talk about something.”

“Oh, James. Hey, sorry about the macaroni, I should’ve taken you along with me.”

“No, it’s not about that, it’s something else.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yeah, listen. What’s Starfleet doing for us? I mean, honestly, what are they doing for us?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“I mean, what do they want us doing? They want us to go to random-ass planets and fight random-ass inhabitants. Why can’t we do stuff on our own? Why do we have to listen to them?”

“Cause… they give us ammo, and food, and stuff.”

“Yeah, tiny amounts of it. I guarantee if we just traded on our own we’d get far more supplies than they could give to us.”

“Huh, you’re right, I think.”

“Just something to keep in mind.”

…

“So if we didn’t have to listen to Starfleet, we could conduct much more independent research.”

…

“We’d be able to offload our cargo at coalition starbases.”

…

“We could get our hands on some real weapons.”

…

James woke up the next morning to a noticeable commotion in the cafeteria. He noticed John in the crowd. “What’s going on?”

“Apparently everyone’s on strike, no one’s working.”

“Huh, really?”

“Yeah, protest against Starfleet demands. Want to be independent.”

“Heh, not exactly opposed.”

He noticed the captain walking into the cafeteria. “Hey, there’s Captain Andrews!”

“Oh yeah, wonder what’s he doing?”

“Excuse me, everyone! Please, remain calm! I understand you have some grievances, but please, we need to remain calm and organized!”

“Indeed, we do need to be organized!” someone shouted.

James looked towards the source, and noticed a leopard walking from the stairs.

“You should be organized! You have power together!”

“Martin?” James shouted.

“Indeed, now let me ask you, how many of you approve of your captain.”

No one raised their hands.

“Now then, who wants someone other than your current captain in command?”

Everyone raised their hands.

“Great, it’s decided. Now, who do you want to be captain instead?”

Everyone started shouting, but one option rose above the rest.

“YOU!”

“Well, I’m flattered. Now then, by voice vote, I believe I am now captain. Now, where do you want to relegate your former to?”

“Wait! You can’t do this! I’m in command!”

“Well, I believe you’re outnumbered here, so I recommend you commit to a peaceful transfer of power, lest things go awry.”

…

James met John in the cafeteria again, in a slightly better mood.

“Hey John, how are things going?”

“Oh, pretty good. I have some more money now, so I plan on getting some pasta at the next starbase, with you coming along this time.”

“Heh, sounds about right. Who knew that cutting the salaries of command could be so effective?”

“Heh, oh by the way. Now that you’re head radio operator, what’s Starfleet’s reaction?”

“Eh, something of a ‘your loss’ type of response.”

“Sounds about right, heh. Man, good thing Captain Martin came along, huh?”

“Yup, say, where’s Andrew now?”

“Oh, he’s working in the galley, washing dishes."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sesostris

Sesostris (Greek: Σέσωστρις), also transliterated as Sesoösis, or Sesonchosis,[1] is the name of a legendary king of ancient Egypt who, according to Herodotus, led a military expedition into parts of Europe. Tales of Sesostris are probably based on the life of Senusret I , Senusret III and perhaps other Pharaohs such as Sheshonq I[1] and Ramesses II.[2]

Herodotus also relates that when Sesostris defeated an army without much resistance he erected a pillar in their capital with a vulva on it to symbolize the fact that the army fought like women.

What Gives the Temple of Karnak Its Fame?

The Karnak temple complex as a whole took more than a thousand years to complete. It formerly served as the most important and largest religious complex in all of ancient Egypt. The most important structure inside is the Temple of Amun-Ra, which was believed to be the god's home on earth, where he resided with his wife Mut and son Khonsu, all of whom have temples created for them inside the Karnak Temple. The Temple of Amun-Ra, which is regarded as the grandest temple ever built, has a significant feature called the Hypostyle Hall, which was built during the reign of Seti I.

Sights Inside The Karnak Complex

The Open Air Museum ( to start)

The Amun-Re temple complex alone is so huge that you could spend an entire day wandering through the numerous courts, pylons, and sanctuaries of the main temple without having the opportunity to see the open-air museum, making it a must-see even though you may easily miss it.

The White Chapel of Senusret I and the Red Chapel of Hatshepsut are the highlights of the Open-Air Museum. In addition to these two, the museum offers a breathtaking view of columns of magnificent blocks and figures made of stone.

The Khonsu Temple

The most comprehensive element of the Karnak temple complex is the Temple of Khonsu, son of Amun. The Third Intermediate Period, which began at the end of the New Kingdom, is described in historical information from the temple. Once upon a time, the temple's walls and ceilings were brilliantly painted in gorgeous hues. However, the majority of it has either been sun-bleached or covered with soot. Even though the ceiling is fading, gazing at it and the artwork on the walls transports you back in time. The ceiling is still in good condition. Want to learn more?
