In my last piece, I pondered over why the pyramids were left out of the Bible. An omission I found astounding. I also expressed my amazement when I discovered no one else seemed to have explored this puzzling fact. Did no one else care about a highly verified ancient text that was void of these wondrous edifices? I found the word “pyramids” mentioned in a few ancient texts, but they not only did not appear to be referring to the “Great Pyramids of Giza” but there was no suggestion of their magnificence. I concluded the omission wasn’t accidental, as everything in the Bible is very intentional and divine.
One of the places I discovered the word “pyramids” was in the almost unknown Apocrypha, in 1 Maccabees, text that was at one time included in the Bible. I would have expected the pyramids to have been more prominent, even described, in one of the first five books of the Torah that Moses is credited with writing. I wouldn’t have expected to find it in the middle of the book, between the Old and New Testaments, where the Apocrypha was positioned before it was officially removed from the Canon in 1826.
