pyramids as surival arks 1st and religous shrines 2nd?

[curious george]

Simple question arose in my head after playing on the beach with my kids. We built a sand castle pyramid and as the tide came in to destroy it; I noticed how the sharp edges acted as the bow of boat as the water rushed into the beach and as a bow of a boat when the water rush back out to sea. The pyramid just so happened to be built with the angle pointed towards the ocean and the land. It was made of sand so it eventually feel apart but it held up much better than most sand castles.

It drove my imagination to wonder if the true purpose of the pyramid was to survive cataclysmic tsunamis that may occur cyclically over thousands of years. With our ancient ancestors great knowledge of celestial movements; you may wonder if the elite elders of yesterday and today would withhold the true purpose of the pyramids as they could only hold a maximum number of people and couldn't hold the servants who actually built the thing.

My understanding(correct me if I am wrong) is that the pyramids were water tight and had multiple underground rooms and tunnels. So after the cataclysmic event would occur; the elders(Noah?;etc?) would exit the pyramid and start a new civilization and over time the only people who would know the true purpose of the pyramid would be the elite and the general population would use the pyramid for religious purposes and to continue worshiping the elite.

The two major fault lines that mark the earth are 180 degrees apposing each other. One is just off the coast of South east of the US near Puerto Rico and the other is just off Japan. Scientist have noted that if the fault line of the US were to truly rupture; then 500 ft waves would ravage the entire eastern seaboard of the US. You every wonder why only traces of Nomadic settlements exist off the coast of the US with maybe the exception of small stone structures that the Vikings left behind.

I just googled "pyramids and tsunamis" and this was my find:

Interesting!...Pyramids off the coast of Japan at least 8000BC!

With survival always being the first need of existence; then why haven't scientist looked at the pyramids from that standpoint?...Sure the evidence points to religious purposes as they had to have some intense reason to force there slaves to build the things as they would tell the slaves "built it or the God of "so and so" will torment you here and into eternity". While Mountains are earths natural pyramids with there heights and caves; yet if you wanted to secure a prosperous location like the Nile river basin then you could have your slaves build a mountain on location and come out as Gods when the storm is over.

Pyramids have always been so mysterious in purpose and when you find out that pyramids exists all over the globe it's begging me to probe further....Ireland had pyramids, Egypt, South America, Japan,Eastern Europe....did i miss some?

With the recent Tsunami in Japan I was reminded of this thread I posted one year ago.

One year later...I again did a google search for the words "Tsunami and Pyramid" and the 1st line on google pulls up a poem from a forum. This the poem:

Tsunami - A Pyramid Poem
Tsunami
A sea ninja
Slowlysucking energy
Waiting to attack Miami
Miami the town it still hates
It is still waiting - still thinking
Thinking of all the things they have said
Finally it attacks the town it really hates a lot
The people are so ashamed they don't talk ever again
by Damon Ansell

Haiku might be more appropriate, considering the location

Tsunami arrives
Death and Destruction as well
Hubris teaches Man

Glaciation would be a significant "equalizer" in terms of removing ancient artifacts and ruins. That nothing is found in fluvio-glacial deposits and in terminal moraines, eskers and other bull-dozed surface accumulations says that conditions were likely too variable to support more than transient development.

With huge swings in sea-level, anything from ancient times would be well-scoured even without a tsunami-generating event.

Racial memory and the locus of important "events" are part of the picture. Now, memory is part of our astral heritage and time is cyclical so, it is quite likely that many of our "common" suppositions and deductions about past life experiences, as well as past civilizations, may well be real but astral in origin.

Reality and the dimensional nature of our presence leads to the conclusion that we are part of a greater, and cyclic, existence that includes many manifestations as well as many types of manifestations.

Perhaps even repeat appearances, going over the same territory, desperately trying to fix what went wrong...."the last time".

It is also a question of consciousness as catalyst.

Just how does reality condense?

The observer's awareness imposes a singularity (not that kind of singularity!) within the continuum that serves as a point of nucleation for the condensation. Like any supersaturated solution (the sea of consciousness is chock-full of possibilities) all that is needed is a seed upon which rings of growth can radiate from that one point and impinge upon the fabric of moment and presence. Those radiating waves are subtle variations on the vibe and allow the transformation of possibility into probability. It is the pressure of those infinite possibilities that drives the formation of the lower energy and more stable valley of reality.

An infinite universe subtends and supports our knowledge of reality and its components. We were just the eyepiece of the universal mind but we are becoming its mouthpiece as well.

Sort of climbing out of a hole to become a whole.
