Why a trip to Egypt? Why now?

Egypt has been on top of my bucket list since I was a child. Of course, I would be drawn to it as an old soul, conspiracy theorist, old-school bookworm and a spiritual nerd at that… The place is intense and heavily woven with a history that 'experts' can never seem to agree on.

The timing never seemed right, so I could never visit. Life has a strange way with us. So I have ended up going now in the midst of everyone again advising against it due to the current situation right on Egypt's border, the Israel/Palestine heartbreaking disaster.

But I would not postpone this time.

I have been obsessed with investigating the pyramids since childhood, much like Nikolai Tesla, the brilliant scientist at the centre of many not-so-conspiracy theories. (Not that I deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as him, with my humble research.)

Tesla believed that the pyramids were more than just tombs for the pharaohs. He thought they were energy generators capable of producing free, limitless energy. His theory was based on the fact that the pyramids were placed strategically and made of conductive materials, such as granite and limestone, which could transmit the electromagnetic energy of the planet. These materials are not that conductive, but he achieved enough in his experiments, and most of our technology today is owed to his work. Was he crazy? One thing is sure: the more you read about how these landmarks were created, the more mysterious they become.

Luxor, my next stop, is a city on southern Egypt's east bank of the Nile River. It was the pharaohs' capital at the height of their power during the 16th–11th centuries B.C. The temples and the royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens form what some consider the world's greatest open-air museum. There is much debate on why the Ancient Egyptians stopped building the pyramids and started burial in the Valleys of Kings and Queens on the other side of Egypt.

As I'm writing this and putting a reel together for my Instagram followers and friends with the highlights of Luxor, a chosen song by Sting is playing in the background: The Desert Rose.

"This desert rose

Whose shadow bears the secret promise."

How fitting, I note.

Did you know that ancient sites like Easter Island, Nazca, Ollantaytambo, Paratoari, Tassili n'Ajjer and the Pyramids of Giza are all somewhat aligned on a single great circle? Was this, like Tesla assumed, the magnetic equator of planet Earth? Why do these places have so much in common, including stone-cutting techniques and similar hieroglyphics?

I wanted to stand at the feet of the Great Pyramid of Giza and feel for myself. There was no groundbreaking epiphany, but the entire place felt somewhat intense.

"I realize that nothing's as it seems", Sting points out melodically as I type.

Visiting The Egyptian Museum certainly provides no answers. You find the commonly agreed-on but long-disputed account of our history. As the Pentagon openly admitted the existence of the UFO during COVID-19, I wonder when a more inclusive version of our actual history will emerge.
