I and I.

"Zahi Hawass:You know, the Egyptians really thought about mystery and initiation. At Giza plateau there are many tunnels. Underneath thepyramids there are tunnels. Giza plateau was known as Neb-RASTAU. RASTAU means ‘cemetery’, but literally it means ‘the under-ground tunnels’. The Giza plateau was known in the New King-dom by the name ‘The place of Osiris’. Giza is the place of the god Osiris, who is lord of the underground tunnels.

Michael Baigent, author:

Initiated into the mysteries of silence and stillness, the one thing you were never allowed to do was to talk about it. And oddly enough, no one ever did. All we know is that they passed through the portals of death. If you like, a preview of death that was being taken through anything which involves the emotions. Both fear, panic, love, simply to push this person to the point where they break through all that is not truly them. So that the true person beneath the social overlay, can emerge. A place where people became eye to eye with their god. Thousands of years before Christendom the ancients Egyptians were already familiar with the concept of a Last Judgement. Man before his god.His sins are weighed. With what he has made of himself, his es-sence. The feather of Truth. The lightness that remains after shed-ding everything else. A civilization that searches what is hidden intothe deepest core of man?

Robert Bauval:You know today, our world view by our scientists tells us that the truth is out there and we have to search outside. But to the ancient Egyptians, they said that the truth was in here and thesearch was within, inside. They believed that inside the individual is the spark of divinity."
