Isaiah
700 BC
In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the center of the land of Egypt, and a pillar1 to the LORD near her border. It will be a sign and a witness to the LORD of Hosts in the land of Egypt. Isaiah 19:19, 20
Josephus -Priest/Historian
66 AD
They also were the inventors of that peculiar sort of wisdom which is concerned with the heavenly bodies, and their order.
And that their inventions might not be lost before they were sufficiently known, upon Adam’s prediction that the world was to be destroyed at one time by the force of fire, and at another time by the violence and quantity of water, they made two pillars2 the one of brick, the other of stone: they inscribed their discoveries on them both, that in case the pillar of brick should be destroyed by the flood, the pillar [monument] of stone might remain, and exhibit those discoveries to mankind…Now this remains in the land of Siriad [Egypt] to this day.3
Location of Siriad
From Gemini AI:
According to Josephus, in his “Antiquities of the Jews,” Siriad is the land where two pillars were erected by the descendants of Seth. These pillars, one of brick and one of stone, were inscribed with knowledge of the heavenly bodies and their order, intended to preserve this wisdom in case of a future destruction of the world by fire or flood.
Josephus states that the stone pillar “remains in the land of Siriad to this day.” While his translator, William Whiston, initially linked “Siriad” to Syria, scholarly consensus now identifies “Siriad” with Egypt. This is because the Greek word “Seirida” (from which Siriad is derived) was used in late antiquity to refer to Egypt, the land associated with the worship of the star Sirius.
Many interpretations and theories exist regarding these pillars, with some connecting them to the Great Pyramid of Giza. However, the core point from Josephus is that Siriad is located in ancient Egypt.
The Temporary Fall Of Pyramidology
The Christian pyramidologists, despite earning significant recognition for their findings, made predictions that proved incorrect, causing the concept of the Great Pyramid as a “Bible in Stone” to lose credibility. This perception shifted when discoveries revealed a deeper connection between this Bible in Stone and the Bahá’í Faith.
Religion In The Great Pyramid
The Edgar Brothers
The Edgar Brothers found that rotating the pyramid diagram and laying it on a map shows the pyramid passageway angle of 26.3 degrees pointing to Bethlehem. An onscreen protractor also verifies this accuracy.
We are indebted to Captain John Mackeag’ue, Ex.M. T for kindly acceding to our request to verify the above result ; and also to Captain William Orr Warden, Ex.M., for further proving the calculations.
Concerning this matter, Captain Mackeague wrote : “When I saw the figures shaping themselves so as to bring out the result sought, I was more than astonished, and could hardly finish the problem for joy that the Lord had at last revealed the true significance of this angle, as an addition to all he has so kindly shown us since we have come into the truth.”
These results were communicated to C. T. Russell, author of Scripture Studies. The following appreciation was received in reply : “Your application of the angle of the passages in the Great Pyramid, is a new thought, and as it points out so exactly the city of Bethlehem, we regard it with favour, and are inclined to accept it as a proper application and further verification of the testimony of the Pyramid. — Yours in the love and service of our Redeemer and King, C. T. Russell.”4
