Australian researcher throws light on mystery.

 

The chance find of a crucial map,[i] pinpointing the location of the mysterious “symbolic tomb of Osiris” (an ancient Egyptian god), has verified an Australian researcher’s 1989 predictions and the hitherto unrecognised role she played in it.

 

As allegations of subterfuge and intrigue plague the world of Egyptology, with current talk suggesting this is actually the tomb of Khufu (the Pharaoh who built the Great Pyramid), Alison Moroney (Kelsey) can now cast light over the sequence of events.

 

In August 1989, “In Search of the Arc” was published in the September issue of the Australian publication, Astrological Monthly Review, detailing Alison’s master plan for Giza, which was sent a year later to the Egyptian Antiquities Organisation in Cairo, and again via the Egyptian Embassy in Canberra in early 1994.

 

Not only does the geographical position of Alison’s map coincide with the position of this tomb, but also to the three-tiered nature of the water shaft/tomb.

 

The three tiers correspond to Alison’s predicted multi-dimensional aspect of the map (found in the cross-section plan of the Great Pyramid: the subterranean pit, Queen’s chamber and King’s chamber).

 

At the very least, Alison’s research and predictions have proved to be accurate.  But is there more to the story?

 

On 16 February 2000, Dr. Zahi Hawass, Undersecretary of the State for the Giza Monuments,[ii] announced he had uncovered the “symbolic” tomb of Osiris underneath the Giza plateau.[iii]

 

Previously, during the August 1998 A.R.E.[iv] convention, Hawass commented that he believed the third level of the "water shaft" to be, at least symbolically, the "Tomb of Osiris".[v]

 

This announcement followed:

 

• the 1997 “discovery” of a forgotten water shaft near the causeway to Khafre’s pyramid,
• the “abrupt halt in 1997” to Dr Joseph Schor’s mapping and excavation expedition when “its licence was officially revoked”; [vi]
• and the restriction of archaeological activity on the Giza Plateau in late 1990.

 

“Some have suggested that Hawass is being less than candid about all he knows in general, and reluctant to discuss anything of significance about these matters when even directly queried by them. The motives for this on-going reticence can only be surmised.”[vii]

 

When asked by Suzy Kolber during the production of the 1999 Fox documentary “Opening the Lost Tombs”,

 

“And what made you think there was anything beyond this?”

 

Hawass’ reply was merely, “You have to look for the other level.  This is the adventure.”[viii]

 

In February 2000 he said, “I never excavated this shaft because it was always full of water.  But when the water went down a year ago, we started the adventure.”[ix] 

 

 

Alison Moroney, who is also one of Australia’s leading astrologers, a syndicated columnist and Queensland radio personality, has a keen interest in these matters.

 

In August 1990 and February 1994, copies of her Giza master plan pinpointing this area as the site of an important archaeological cache were forwarded to authorities in Egypt.

 

The first of these was addressed to “The Secretary, Department of Antiquities” in Egypt; the second one was sent via the Egyptian Embassy in Canberra, after an assurance from a staff member that the information would be translated and passed on to an appropriate archaeologist. 

 

In both instances, Dr. Hawass was General Director of the Giza Pyramids & Saqqara & Bahria Oasis. 

 

The information was also made available to the Edgar Cayce Foundation (A.R.E) in July 1993, and subsequently through a 1995 manuscript submitted in 1996, which successfully passed two rounds of review on the road the publication with A.R.E.; ultimately being rejected when Alison pushed for a publication date after being informed they wanted to keep it on hold indefinitely.

 

In this manuscript, “The Atlantic Seed”, Alison cited that this location was the burial place of Khufu in Chapter 4: “Khufwey’s Legacy”[xi]. 

 

Alison’s reasons for passing on her research work were altruistic, partly laying in the basis of her own inexperience in archaeology and also the keen desire to share knowledge with the world. 

 

Towards this end, she gave her permission to the Edgar Cayce Foundation and to Egyptian Antiquities for use of the material, asking only for recognition of her contribution. 

 

Yet this lack of recognition appears to be at the heart of the intrigue, especially in review of crucial dates and subsequent developments.

 

In May 1997 Alison published her information on the Giza master plan on her website “Archaeoastronomy, Astrology and Ancient Egypt”,[xii] once again stating this was the burial place of Khufu.

 

This information was self-published in September 1998, in her book “Pathway to Atlantis”,[xiii] which was previously the manuscript “The Atlantic Seed”.
