ABSTRACT
That the Great Pyramid was planned and raised in the course of four overlapping reigns would appear to corroborate the evidence supplied by an examination of the structure itself, and its unique characteristics, that it owes its erection to the members of some civilization foreign to Egypt—probably Asiatic in origin—and was not the conception of any particular monarch, though since it was mainly carried out during the sole reign of Khufu, it would naturally become associated with his name. Tradition, also, as in the case of the Great Pyramid being pre-Deluge, supports the view that it is not Egyptian in origin, but was erected under the supervision of some immigrant race which entered Egypt peaceably, various individuals—including Seth, Enoch, and Shem—being credited with its design.
