5? THE GREAT PYRAMID.
.what the astrologer would require in order to get
the horoscope correctly.
Another consideration remains to be mentioned
which, while strengthening the astrological theory
of the pyramids, may bring us even nearer to the
true aim of those who planned and built these
structures.
It is known that the Chaldseans from the
earliest times pursued thè study of alchemy in
connection with astrology, not hoping to discover
the philosopher's stone by chemical investigations
alone, but by carrying out such investigations
under special celestial influence. The hope of
achieving this discovery, by which he would at
once have had the means of acquiring illimitable
wealth, would of itself account for the fact that
Chèops expended so much labour and material in
thé erection of the Great Pyramid, seeing that, of
necessity, success in the search for the philoso-
pher's stone would be a main feature of his
fortunes, and would therefore be astrologically in-
dicated in his nativity-pyramid, or perhaps even
be secured by following mystical observances
proper for ruling his planets.
The elixir of life may also have been among
the objects which the builders of the pyramids
hoped to discover.
