Summary
A unique and original discovery of a previously unkown man made site in the Sinai found through astronomy and geographical information in the text known as the Book of the Dead. The location correlates with a map-overlay using the internal structure of the GREAT PYRAMID at a scale of 1:4800. The text further describes a hidden cavern at this location which may be the fabled Hall of Records.
In the middle of the Sinai Mountains, 32 Kilometres from the nearest modern road, is a man made structure consisting of a rectangular raised mound with a flat top, approximately 250 metres long, 27 metres high and 70 metres wide. Its sides are constructed of large boulders but its top is smooth with only a scattering of small rocks. on the side of the mound is a cleared inclined triangle pointing into the rectangle.
The whole construction blends in with the mountain in such a way that those who walk by along the wadi (a rocky watercourse, dry except in the rainy season) would not observe any difference in the surroundings. It is only when viewed from above, from the ridge to the south, that the mound becomes discernable against the rugged background as shown below.

There is no archaeological history for this mound as it is not a distinguishable ruin and there is little to it to mark it out for attention. It is in a remote area and not shown on the survey maps. Without knowledge of its location the only way you would find it is with a detailed guide. There is such a guide and it is the compilation of text known as the Book of the Dead. Along with this text I have found that the internal structure of the Great Pyramid can be used as a map overlay. For those that wish to see for themselves I used, the text translation by Raymond Faulkner - published by British Museum Press, and an ordinary large-scale tourist map.
There are several well-funded groups and self-financed individuals searching for an ancient Egyptian chamber referred to as the Hall of Records. This chamber is supposedly the repository of an Egyptian god called Thoth (the greek god Hermes) who set down his knowledge and hid it away, protected from the ravages of time. References to such a repository come from the Hermetic text Kore Kosmu (as translated by G R S Mead in Thrice Great Hermes):
Such was all-knowing Hermes, who saw all things, and seeing understood, and understanding had the power both to disclose and to give explanation. For what he knew, he graved on stone; yet though he graved them onto stone he hid them mostly…The sacred symbols of the cosmic elements (he) hid away, hard by the secrets of Osiris… keeping sure silence, that every younger age of cosmic time might seek for them.
O Holy books, who have been made by my immortal hands, by incorruption’s magic spells… free from decay throughout eternity remain, and incorrupt from time. Become unseeable, unfindable, for every one whose foot shall tread the plains of this land, until Old Heaven doth bring forth meet instruments for you ...
The generally held belief of those searching for the chamber is that it will be found at the Giza Plateau. I will show a wildly different location some 340 km from Giza, linked to the Giza Plateau by Egyptian text and the Great Pyramid.
The Book of the Dead describes a Mountain called Bakhu and refers in the same section of text to a cavern ‘sacred to the gods and inaccessible to the dead’. The text mentions Giza under the name Busiris. According to the Head of the Supreme Egyptian Antiquities, Dr Zahi Hawass, Busiris was a village next to the Khufu Pyramid. The opening section of text (Spell 1) actually states that part of the text is being read at Busiris, and throughout the text there are references to Thoth (the god who hid his knowledge).
Egyptologists will point out that the texts were not all found together, but were compiled from sequences of funerary writings found on material of differing age and therefore assumed they do not have a unitary source.
Several books are mentioned in the text such as the Book of the Soul, Book of Thoth, Book of the Mistress of the Hidden Cavern. These ‘books’ are not separated in the text but the existence of their contents can be shown such as in Spell 110:
‘Here begin the Spells of the Field of offerings and Spells of going Forth by Day .’
Egyptologists gave a single title to this collection, i.e. The Book of the Dead. There are however links between these books, indicating a common source and also a common purpose other than funerary.
As a guide the subject matter can be grouped as follows:-
The fact that Spells may be found on materials and tombs dated from different periods does not preclude a single source. Blocks of Spells may have been copied from each book without the common priests having an understanding of the text. It appears the separation of the text may have been a priestly quest to acheive enlightenment.
Egyptologists have speculated over Bakhu. They were not able to determine a precise location and placed it somewhere in Eastern Egypt. The site then appears to have been left as a mythical location. This may have been due to the available knowledge or the access to the relevant knowledge at that time. Today, even the man in the street has access to excellent translations, astronomy on computer, and accurate maps of previously unsurveyed locations. Without the endeavours in these areas the solution is a mammoth task. Luckily the hard word has been done and the key to solving the puzzle lies in linking the information together.
