December 6th took us into the desert southwest of the pyramids. With the GPS as our guide and horses as transportation, we went in search of the structure that would truly represent the star Bellatrix. After no more than two hours, the GPS began to sound. Like clockwork, the predicted coordinates were precise.
We were just within the boundaries of an Egyptian military compound when we found a pile of the familiar yet distinctive rocks; isolated and standing out from the surrounding desert stones. Approximately 13 meters in diameter and scattered across the desert floor were hundreds of pyramidal stones. These rocks were unquestionably of the same material as the Giza pyramids as they displayed the distinctive numlites and were white in color. It was far too great a coincidence that these particular stones be located in this desolate region. The celestial-terrestrial connection was once again affirmed. But where was the structure?
Local Egyptians had used pyramid stones to construct Cairo and other buildings in the area. It was remotely possible they had used all the rocks in the "Gesh" (meaning "Military" in Arabic and Wilson's name for the area containing the ruins of Bellatrix) for construction purposes. Yet this seems unlikely when one considers the remoteness of the Gesh site. It would make little sense for the Egyptians to have completely dismantled this pyramid, while leaving other more accessible pyramids, like Abu Ruwash, partially intact. In addition, if it had been dismantled, one would expect to find a larger scattering of rocks, perhaps an exposed entrance or chamber (as are commonly found), and/or evidence of human tampering, but none of these were apparent.
It seems likely that whatever remains at the Gesh is subterranean. One likely explanation for its burial are the high desert winds. The desert sands are notorious for burying buildings in a single storm (It is common knowledge that the Sphinx's enclosure has been cleared of sand many times in recent history). However, the only way to verify whether or not such a subterranean structure exists is with ground-penetrating radar; which has yet to be done.
Additional evidence for the pyramid's underground presence comes from an Egyptian named Ahmed Abdel Romain Shire. Ahmed lives in the village of Nazlet Al Samman and was an antiquities watchman at Giza for over thirty-five years. He says that he accompanied an Egyptian archaeologist to the Gesh site some twenty years ago. The doctor, he says, was looking for an entrance to the north side of a buried pyramid.
Despite the fact that no obvious structure was apparent at the Gesh site, the isolated presence of the limestone deposit, on the exact terrestrial location for the star Bellatrix, was too uncanny for coincidence. Additionally, the testimony of Ahmed Abdel Romain Shire further supports the possibility of subterranean remains at the Gesh site. These factors strongly indicate the validity of the Orion connection. Concrete confirmation is only as far away as the nearest set of ground-penetrating radar equipment.
