Wayne May
Special Guest • Speaker
An introduction to Pyramidology and the Great Pyramid of Giza: Diffusion in the Western Hemisphere has always been a major topic for discussion. Such as, “who was here first, is this the New World or the Old World.” Our Universities and secondary education supports Isolationism. What happens when you find out the Great Pyramid of Giza has its own Diffusion story to tell? Is it older than the established 2,500 BC date now accepted by academia? Why do the most ancient of records in existence, call the Great Pyramid the “Bible in Stone?” This presentation will present known pieces of ancient history mingled with the Bible, and with emphasis upon the Antediluvian Patriarchs of the Old Testament. You will never look upon the Great Pyramid the same way again.
