I recall one of the texture packs displaying them as hanging chains, which is what I then interpreted them to be.

Well we can all agree that it is definitely some method of pushing or pulling the stone block, be it holes, chains or missing handles

One of the most interesting controversies about the above door, is that if you look above the door (in the above photo) you can see chunks out of the small roof, (or is it etchings?), and that it depicts a star map that was chiseled out of the roof rock and then placed there in situ.
The following youtube video goes for the theory that a star map was made by the pyramid builders in this inaccessible shaft. And with precession of the stars it is possible to estimate the time of the building of the pyramid. Was it Khufu in 2500BC the builder?, and my own personal opinion is that he was not the builder, as there is no mention on the pyramid of him building it except for a bit of old graffetti, (this graffetti is located in one of the spaces above the kings chamber). Now if I had made that pyramid, I would have put my name in very large letters (hieroglyphics) all over it, etched in stone for eternity Hence, do we accept what Egyptologist's tell us as face value, is correct, without looking into it further? The other date option on the star map would be 9200BC, around 10,500 years ago, the time of the legendary sudden ending of Atlantis, who's survivors supposedly moved out of their destroyed lands and taught pyramid building to many races throughout the planet, so they could build pyramids. So nowadays we see pyramids built all around the world. When you check out this video, the star map lines up with what was seen in the sky in 9200BC, hence the pyramids could far older than they tell us. And I tend to believe that they are. Its a very interesting subject indeed Last edited by The Great Chi; 18-02-18 at 11:09. |

I believe the pyramids were already dated using methods like radiocarbon dating method which result in absolute dating? If that is the case then what archaeologists say is probably true since these methods are the most accurate so far.

The problem with carbon dating is that it must be on organic material, and the pyramids are made of stone. Some organic materials like pieces of wood have been found, but it is questionable when they were placed there.

Yes, the push/pull blocks in TR1 are modeled after "Gantenbrink's Door," which was discovered in the Great Pyramind by Rudolph Gantenbrink a few years before the first Tomb Raider game.
Here's a detailed thread from 2013 that fully covers the topic: http://www.tombraiderforums.com/show...ht=gantenbrink Last edited by Patrick Shannon; 24-02-18 at 22:58. |
