What did Napoleon say after spending a night inside the Great Pyramid?
He was young but already very popular. After his successes in Italy, Napoleon Bonaparte pointed out manners but above all great ambition. And the French Republic entrusted him with the conquest of Egypt in 1798, a campaign that ended in military failure. Instead, he achieved a great cultural victory.
Napoleon did not embark only with soldiers whom he harangued in front of the Pyramids: “From these monuments forty centuries of history contemplate you.” He also brought with him a troop of about 150 wise men in charge of investigating the history, nature and geography of the Nile country.
The result was the great “Description de l’Égypte”. In addition, fate would have one of his lieutenants discover the Rosetta stone, the key piece for Champollion to later decipher the hieroglyphs.
That is, the passion for modern Egyptology was born at that time and also captured Napoleon himself. Before leaving, he surprised his men. He wanted to spend a night completely alone inside the Great Pyramid , the last resting place of the great Pharaoh Khufu.
No one was talking about Tutankhamun‘s curse yet. It was still more than 120 years before Howard Carter discovered his tomb. But the stories of mummies had been common knowledge for millennia.
On a hot night on August 12, 1799, the Corsican general apparently entered the Great Pyramid accompanied by his entourage and a Muslim religious.
The group walked down the low, narrow passageways until they reached the king’s chamber, the very heart of the only one of the seven wonders of antiquity that still stood (and still does). And there they left him. A whole night.
The young soldier had time to analyze in detail the rectangular room, built with smooth granite slabs, without any decoration or inscriptions.
Pharaonic minimalism. In the entire noble room, some thirty feet long by a little over five feet wide, there was a single item, a sarcophagus of red granite carved in one piece. Empty.
The motives
Why did Napoleon shut himself up for a few hours in such a peculiar place? As Peter Tompkins explains in his famous work “Secrets of the Great Pyramid”, he intended to emulate two other great military strategists who would also have decided to live this experience, Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, with the aim of finding themselves.
Or perhaps also to receive a kind of mystical or initiatory revelation linked to the symbolism of rebirth inherent in the pyramids, as Egyptologist Bob Brier speculates in “Secrets of Magical Ancient Egypt”.
After seven hours, when the sun was already lighting up the Giza funeral plateau, Napoleon emerged pale and disconcerted.
His men wanted to know what had happened to him, to which the general only replied: “Even if I told it, you wouldn’t believe it.” And he never wanted to talk about it again. The secret was between him and the thousand-year-old stones of the pyramid of Khufu.

Read the book by John and Edgar Morton from 1910. They figured it out.

The Shepherd Kings came from the north circa 2200 BCE and conquered Egypt without a fight. The Egyptians were forced to close their temples and put away all their idols. Then, once this was done, the Egyptians were forced into building the Great Pyramid according to the design of Shepherd Kings. The Egyptians were paid for their work and they rotated the 25000 person work force every 3 months, so the worker could return home for the other 9 months of the year.

Once the Pyramid was completed the Shepherd Kings returned to the north. The Egyptians resumed their worship and sacrifices but now they had the skill to build pyramids and their future as an empire was certain.

Who were the Shepherd Kings?
The Egyptians symbolized the Shepherd Kings that ruled over them as a Lion Sphinx.
They were the kingdom that came from Shem, son of Noah. Shem lived to be 600+ years and he died during Abraham's life. Shem would be the last to live so long and have so much knowledge from before the flood.

Egypts future
After a few generations, the Egyptians lost their secrets in building pyramids and they became inferior in size and quality over time. Joseph was recognized as the Pharaoh's right hand man and was trusted because of his relationship with God. He saved the world of starvation and made Egypt a great empire.

What is the purpose of the Great Pyramid of Giza
The Pyramid is the word of God in stone. The passages detail the afterlife (terrifying) and the rest of the pyramid has other things to say about the past and future. For example: The missing capstone Represents the rejection of two kings born to Jacob's bloodline: Joseph who is rejected by his brothers and rules over Egypt and Jesus who was rejected by Israel and will rule over Jerusalem in a Kingdom from Heaven. The prophecy tells us that no man can get past the law (granite plugs) but by taking the path of the well (Holy Spirit) then you are saved by faith. But first you must find the well from the descending passage and it is hidden. Only Jesus can show you the way.
