THE TERM PYRAMID. GREEK: The first thing to learn from a “PYRAMID” is the significance of the word itself. The word “PYRAMID” originates from Ancient Greek, coined by Herodotus (484 – 425 BC) using the words pyr-, meaning “FIRE” and -miden, meaning “IN THE MIDDLE.” EGYPT: The Great Pyramid of Giza was given the special title of pr.ntr, or “HOUSE OF NTR.” The ntr, a flag or axe, is a hieroglyph of great controversy. In context, it describes the power of a “GOD” or “DIVINITY.” However, its phonetic similarities to the English word “NATURE” reveals an aspect of cause-and-effect, necessary in understanding the role of the gods and their influence over the natural world. Therefore, the Great Pyramid is literally a “HOUSE OF NATURE.” So, the first thing a pyramid can teach us is the value of a single image, symbol or word. It can teach us that interpretation and imagination are inherent qualities of mankind that should be exercised alongside the pursuit of knowledge. From the perspective of the Ancient Egyptians, AN IMAGE SPOKE A THOUSAND WORDS. What do you think? (Source: pyramidtime.blogspot)
