It has been here longer than any can remember, and for as long, it has been the sacred duty of the village witch to explore its depths. ‘ HAKIM’ (for short), was a wisdom-keeper of the Ancient Egyptian Mysteries, and was born and lived in the village beneath the Giza Plateau he grew up with the great pyramids of Giza as his playground.At the edge of the sea, a vast labyrinth waits. He was a Khemitian, or Khemite – a man from Khem (Egypt), which means the ‘black land’. This didn’t mean that the people were black, or that they had anything to do with dark, or black practices – it meant quite simply that the land – the earth itself – was black, because the soil was enriched and fertile from the annual flooding of the river Nile. Hakim could be described as a wise elder: a man who had not only been born into a family where knowledge was passed down from generation to generation, but had travelled afar and studied engineering and archaeology. While speaking and teaching to his many students, his heavy accented English was regularly broken with a broad grin and a knowing chuckle. Sadly missed by all, he passed into the spirit world in 2008, as an octogenarian. His daughter, Shahrzad Awyan, has taken up her father’s work with his blessing. I came across Hakim while searching for answers. My own journey towards finding the mystery and knowledge of Egypt started in 1998, and I arrived in Cairo for the first time in 2010, twelve years later. I now understand why it took me twelve years. Hakim spoke with that certain confidence which I found I could naturally trust. So much has been said about Egypt, by so many, it was hard to plough through it all, and easy to get confused. Myths, legends, scientific so-called facts, opinions, speculations, imaginings and lies, all made the work of finding the answer to my own quest’s questions long and frustrating – although I have found it fascinating. I have certainly made up for the short-fall of my knowledge in history.įinally, I came across a documentary serialised on You Tube called ‘The Pyramid Code’ (see video at the bottom of this article). It is not a new film, but it is more contemporary than others that glossed over the same old standard ideas. Hakim was a guest speaker in this excellent expansive and comprehensive study of Egypt’s monuments and their purpose. Innovative ideas, backed by real scientific research, and some lateral thinking instead of the focal viewpoint, brought a new light to Egypt’s astounding technically advanced and enlightened past. Here, for posterity, in grateful memory to a great and humble man, I give you my transcribed notes of Hakim’s words from that documentary. (May he smile from his place of knowing!)Īpologies for any mis-heard words my words are in (.) and missing words are in Read and imagine his accent and sometimes broken English. Hakim, whose native language is the ancient ‘Souf’ The Egyptians call the area which contains 22 pyramids, running from north to south and parallel to the river Nile, the ‘Band of Peace’. “In 1936, 1937, the Sphinx was covered up to the neck in sand my playground – there were tunnels I used to walk, crawl in, in water. At Abu Gareb we have a altar, a symbol of ‘four’ and ‘ hotep’ (peace and food) around it, a shaft, about 180 feet deep to the level of the ocean and there is still running water in there and you can feel it in the area. These instruments (huge quartz crystal bowls), nine of them, were found in the area, not as you see them now (moved and put together by the E. and A.) and there are still more to be found. And then we have the oldest obelisk in Egypt, next to the altar – what’s left of the obelisk – in ‘ souf’ hieroglyphics, and the disc of the Sun, and words saying the of the Sun: ‘ ibra’. Saqqara – the ‘ Step Pyramid’ of Zoser is 2,900 B.C. – say the books! Pyramid, in a courtyard, much older than pyramid itself. You can compare it yourself – if you look at the pyramid and look at the wall (of the courtyard) you can see the difference. The Sun will reflect on this crystal tile (which is lying on the ground now) – this is what’s left of it – it is quarried by the natives in the area from the C17th. Now I’m pointing to the ‘ gyptera’, which is a symbol of the ancient god – Osiris.
