This is a c. 1910 poster illustrating the interior of the Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt. The poster results from the 1909 studies of Morton Edgar and his brother John Edgar. Bother Edgars were dedicated pyramidologists who believed they could, through studies of the Great Pyramid, discern essential theological truths. Morton was obsessed with the theories of Jehovah's Witness founder Charles Taze Russell (1852 - 1916), who advocated the theory that the Great Pyramid was a mystical artifact deeply connected to the End of Days and the events predicted in Revelations.
Inside the Great Pyramid The broadside presents a cross-section of the northern side of the Great Pyramid, detailing the complex network of passages, galleries, tombs, and air channels. It is rich with meticulous observations taken from both earlier archeological studies and Morton Edgar's own 1909 measurements. The image is mostly factual, offering a wealth of data regarding the interior passages of the Pyramid as well as their relationship to celestial bodies. |
