I can not confirm or deny this, but there is something inside the pyramid that is ‘not of this world.’
— Professor Dr. Alaaeldin Shaheen, Dean of the Faculty of Archeology, Cairo University.
Is the quote controversial? Yes. In fact, the whole subject of aliens—or ‘ancient astronauts’ as Erich von Däniken would call them—is controversial.
But the quote stands.
Professor Dr. Alaaeldin Shaheen on Egyptian TV
Admitted knowledge that the pyramids contain something alien
The quote caused a flurry of conversation around the world and many UFO enthusiasts and alien watchers took note—especially since Shaheen was presumably next in line to become Egypt’s Antiquities Minister, a powerful and prestigious post that oversees the protection and research activity of every historical site that spans the ancient Egyptian dynasties.
Former Minister Zahi Hawass
The minister at the time was Zahi Hawass , a strong and opinionated man dedicated to the protection of Egypt’s priceless treasures.
A slip of the tongue—and sharing of personal knowledge during a social gathering at a conference— endangered Shaheen’s chances to take over the coveted post when Hawass stepped into retirement. And the professor realized that after the fact.
Not long after readily admitting to a fellow colleague that the pyramids contained something alien, a firestorm ensued that threatened Shaheen’s reputation and his chance at the brass ring.
As the controversy grew, Shaheen went into full denial mode.
Aliens over ancient Egypt?
Damage control
Andrew Collins, a self-described friend of Shaheen, contacted the Egyptologist by email and asked the harried doctor if he really made such a comment.
In his reply, Shaheen vehemently denied everything.
Collins writes in his article, The Great Pyramid was not Built by Aliens: It’s Official, about the response from Shaheen:
“I received the following email from Dr. Shaheen on December 1, 2010: ‘Kindly be informed that I did not gave such stupid statement[s] about aliens and Pyramids. As [I am] Egyptologist I could [not] say such stupid words and ideas.'”
So who is this debunker, Andrew Collins? Is he a learned professor, a great investigative researcher, a world famous explorer?
No.
It seems he’s a self-styled, psychic researcher who wrote a book with his own theory about the pyramids that he’shawking online.
But wait—maybe his claim about the Shaheen email is still true? After all, what one’s personal predilections are does not necessarily reflect on the validity of the truth.
Well, even if it is true, it makes no difference.
The denial becomes suspect when considering that other attendees at the conference state Dr. Shaheen did address the idea of “outside assistance” to ancient Egypt. And a Polish delegate attending the conference named Marek Nowak of the Institute of Archaeology, Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland did ask a follow-up question about the possibility of the Great Pyramid containing the remains of an alien technology.
According to a number of other attendees of the conference Shaheen did respond, “I can not confirm or deny this, but there is something inside the pyramid that is “not of this world.”
Is that quote verbatim? Unknown, but close enough to easily understand the gist of the doctor’s statement: Alien technology is buried inside the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Sheehan loses chance at Ministry
After the global outcry—and colleagues raising their eyebrows—of course Shaheen back-peddled rapidly. But to no avail.
The Arab Spring erupted across Egypt, Mubarack was deposed, and Zahi Hawass was eventually removed from his lofty post.
In place of Hawass, Mohamed Abdel Fatah was appointed the head of the Supreme Council of Antiquities. Shaheen was pushed to the side.
But events are fluid in Egypt and the dust is still a long way from settling.
On September 20, 2011 Fatah quit, under fire from street protestors. So at the moment no one holds the position.
If Professor Dr. Shaheen keeps quiet this time about what great secret the Great Pyramid harbors deep inside its silent walls, he might be appointed as head of the Supreme Council of Antiquities.
If he is awarded the position, he better not be caught digging up any ancient alien technology…
‘aliens’ are just another word for fallen beings, angels or demons. ” nothing new under the sun.”. why is this so mysterious? it really isn’t. The battle is between the fallen angel, Lucifer and his minions…and Jesus Christ who created the angels, life, the universe and everything else, with his Father and Holy Spirit. The ‘church’ its people have been kept in the dark for ages and have not been told the truth. Read the book of Enoch, Gen 6, before the flood when fallen angels had sex with woman and than came the giants. no wonder the flood…it will be worse coming since Jesus said, that the” last days will be as the days of Noah”. terrifying…The Bible is coming to pass…and no one can stop it for we blew it and spit on our Creator of heaven and earth and God’s creation of the host in the heavens, man etc. Jesus is the ‘captain of the host of the heavens” also…as well as now sitting on the Right Hand of God, the Father until He makes the earth, his enemies his footstool. Jesus is bigger than any pyramid anyway…nothing but stone and was probably there before the flood,created by the fallen angels, why are the water marks there? We have been lied to by history as well. God is greater than any pyramid or monument made by man or angel.
Why can’t they just see that the pyramids are nothing more than tombs for the vanities of a bygone era, and those ego eccentric ruling Pharoahs built them as a folly to their beliefs of an afterlife, and nothing more. Those pyramids are like passing clouds to the imaginative mind, and big enough to give a “Professor” or two some notoriety on the world archealogical merry go round, and as a bonus, to make a good living to. Nothing is just a simple yes or no anymore, everything is questioned beyond reason, and we then enter the fantasy world that is our present day, causing confusion, uncertainty, instability, and hostility and war as never before.
For what does a man need to satisfy his soul? For whatever this world has to offer has proven totally unacceptable to billions as global discontent gives evidence of, showing we are looking in the wrong direction, as those propagating Pyramid pundits of mystery have demonstrated.
