Introduction
The mission of the Mataha-expedition was, besides preservation, to
research the quarry theory by Petrie based on his finding of a great
artificial stone surface (304meter on 244meter). Petrie interpreted the
enormous artificial stone plateau he discovered at the depth of several
meters, as the foundation of the labyrinth, concluding that the building
itself was totally demolished, as a stone quarry in the Ptolemaic period.
However, the “foundation” impenetrated by early expeditions, never lost
the possibility of being the roof of the Labyrinth, described by Strabo as
a great plain of stone. The Mataha – expedition research goal was to
confirms the presence of archaeological features at the labyrinth area
south of the Hawara pyramid of Amenemhet III.
The Mataha-expedition discovered the lost
labyrinth of Egypt at Hawara.
A colossal temple described by many classic authors like
Herodotus and Strabo, to contain 3000 rooms full
of hieroglyphs and paintings. A legendary building lost for 2 millenia
under the ancient sands of Egypt. Bringing the highest level of technology
to unlock the secrets of the past. The sand of Hawara was scanned earlier
this year (February-March 2008) by the Belgian Egyptian expedition team.
Although ground penetrating techniques have been used by archaeologists
for years, the Mataha-expedition (Mataha = labyrinth in Arabic) was the
first to apply this technology at Hawara, to solve the enigma born in the
Renaissance for once.

The conclusion of the Hawara geophysic-survey is officially released by
the Egyptian authorities at the workshop in Cairo organized by the NRIAG
on 11 of August 2008. This took place in the presence of some members of
the Supreme Council of Antiquities, a representative of UNESCO,
professors of international Universities, researchers of Cairo based
archaeological institutes and a small selection of specialized
archaeological press.
Before taking off with the conclusion, it needs to be said that the
presented geo-archaeological results about the Labyrinth were received
with positive scepticism by archaeologists and alike, who still prefer
to believe actual excavation as confirmation of the discovery, without
touching the integrity of the geophysic team professionalism. This
feeling of doubt was expected like geophysic technics are new in the
field of archaeology. Till very recently geophysics were namely only
used by the military and oil industry. All geophysic results regarding
the groundwater and the geologic situation, are in contrast fully taken
for granted by all parties, and even formed the actual start of the
existing preservation master plan for the Hawara archaeological site, by
the Egyptian government and the Supreme council of Antiquities.
The mission of the Mataha-expedition was, besides preservation, to
research the quarry theory by Petrie based on his finding of a great
artificial stone surface (304meter on 244meter). Petrie interpreted the
enormous artificial stone plateau he discovered at the depth of several
meters, as the foundation of the labyrinth, concluding that the building
itself was totally demolished, as a stone quarry in the Ptolemaic
period. However, the “foundation” impenetrated by early expeditions,
never lost the possibility of being the roof of the Labyrinth, described
by Strabo as a great plain of stone.
The Mataha – expedition research confirms the presence of
archaeological features at the labyrinth area south of the Hawara
pyramid of Amenemhet III. These features covering an underground area of
several hectares, have the prominent signature of vertical walls on the
geophysical results. The vertical walls with an average thickness of
several meters, are connected to shape nearly closed rooms, which are
interpreted to be huge in number. Consequently, the geophysic survey
initiated with the cordial permission of Dr. Zahi Hawass the president
of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, and conducted by the National
Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics (Helwan, Cairo) with the
support of Ghent University, can now officially verify the occurrence of
big parts of the Labyrinth as described by the classic authors at the
study area. The Labyrinth data are acquired mainly from 2 scanned
surfaces at the labyrinth area south of the pyramid. One scan survey of
150m by 100m on the right site of the Bahr Wahbi canal, and one on the
left site (80m by 100m). Two considerations regarding the conclusion.
Seen the survey provided only two big puzzles, the total size and shape
of the labyrinth can not yet been concluded. Secondly, the data of the
labyrinth are accurate, because of the exceptional dimensions of the
structure, but the geophysic profiles still need some filtration to give
more details. Groundwater affected the consistency of the survey. The
partial defacement of the data is due to the high salinity of the
shallow subsurface water and the seasonal fluctuation of this level. So
we recommend also another episode of geophysical survey after the
dewatering project to enhance the outcome to great extent.
In the upper ground zone above the water level, walls appear at the
shallow depth ranging between 1,5 to 2,5 meters. These decayed mudbrick
features are very chaotic and show no consistent grid structure and can
be comfortably related with the historic period of the Ptolemaic and
Roman times. A period in which is known, that the labyrinth area was
used as a cemetery, and probably also changed to a living area in the
Byzantine period. Underneath this upper zone, below the artificial stone
surface appears (in spite of the turbid effect of the groundwater) at
the depth of 8 to 12 meters a grid structure of gigantic size made of a
very high resistivity material like granit stone. This states the
presence of a colossal archaeological feature below the labyrinth
“foundation” zone of Petrie, which has to be reconsidered as the roof of
the still existing labyrinth. The conclusion of the geo-archaeological
expedition encounters in a scientific way the idea that the labyrinth
was destructed as a stone quary in Ptolemaic times and validates the
authenticity of the classical author reports. The massive grid structure
of the labyrinth is also out of angle by 20° to 25° from the Hawara
pyramid orientation. An analysis shifting the contemporary idea of the
labyrinth as funerary temple and its supposed construction age, but on
the other hand it hardens Herodotus accuracy, who described the nearby
pyramid to be at the corner of the labyrinth. It might even be
considered that the remains of the labyrinth run unaffectedly underneath
the canal, which crosses the total Hawara area. Like the scanned
Labyrinth sections on both sides of Bahr Wahbi canal have similar and
parallel grids on the geophysical results.
From a preservative view of the Hawara archaeological site, humanity
is now facing a great challenge. The water level, which raised
dramatically since the last decades, is detected at a depth of about 4-5
meters below the ground surface at the labyrinth area. Drowning the
whole site completely in the corrosive salty water, which agressively
destructs the stones of the labyrinth on a great scale. Making
environmental protection directly the utmost necessity. UNESCO committee
members publicly considered after the official release of the research
conclusion at the workshop in Cairo, to mark the total Hawara site
“world heritage”, as the first UNESCO step towards the launch of an
international safeguarding campaign. This should be a great honour en
help, like Hawara not only contains important Middle Kingdom to late
Roman antiquities, but also the greatest wonder of the classical world.
With the words of Herodotus “surpassing even the great pyramids of Giza”.
In contrast to many sites, which become vulnerable to illegal
excavations and theft after the release of their discovery, the
Labyrinth is contradictory protected from illegal human activity by the
saline water that destroys it. A situation we can not push towards a
next generation without presenting an empty box, like all hieroglyphic
texts as described by the classic others will be very soon lost forever,
eaten out by salt crystals.
An archaeological rescue operation as never seen before will
therefore have to be organized, to raise the necessary media attention,
experts, technology and funds to start the drainage, protection and the
total excavation of the labyrinth of Egypt. The Egyptian Supreme Council
of Antiquities expressed their great devotion and responsibility by
announcing the start of the actual renovate master plan for the site,
but as a the labyrinth affects the whole world, we are responsible to
work together with this great country that bears already the heavy
weight to preserve and protect the remains of a giant civilization. A
fantastic country with great people, that is reaching a warm hand to the
rest of the world to share this new discovered global human heritage.
The Mataha-Expedition team therefore directs the need for any kind of
support to all man. We believe that humanity reached the point of
civilization to be able to work unconditional together at high
efficiency with the honorary aim to protect and discover the colossal
stone book that the ancients built with an unimaginable effort of love,
to communicate with us from the deep black of time.

Herodotus' Egyptian Labyrinth
Even more generally, labyrinth might be applied to any extremely
complicated maze-like structure. Herodotus, in Book II of his Histories,
describes as a "labyrinth" a building complex in Egypt, "near the place
called the City of Crocodiles," that he considered to surpass the pyramids
in its astonishing ambition:
It has twelve covered courts — six in a row facing north, six
south — the gates of the one range exactly fronting the gates of the
other. Inside, the building is of two storeys and contains three
thousand rooms, of which half are underground, and the other half
directly above them. I was taken through the rooms in the upper storey,
so what I shall say of them is from my own observation, but the
underground ones I can speak of only from report, because the Egyptians
in charge refused to let me see them, as they contain the tombs of the
kings who built the labyrinth, and also the tombs of the sacred
crocodiles. The upper rooms, on the contrary, I did actually see, and it
is hard to believe that they are the work of men; the baffling and
intricate passages from room to room and from court to court were an
endless wonder to me, as we passed from a courtyard into rooms, from
rooms into galleries, from galleries into more rooms and thence into yet
more courtyards. The roof of every chamber, courtyard, and gallery is,
like the walls, of stone. The walls are covered with carved figures, and
each court is exquisitely built of white marble and surrounded by a
colonnade.*

During the time of Sir William Smith, the remains of the "Labyrinthus"
(as he calls it) were discovered "11 1/2 miles from the pyramid of Hawara,
in the province of Faioum." As professor Smith states in the Dictionary of
Greek and Roman Antiquities (1870), the Labyrinthus was likely modified
and added upon "at various times. The names of more than one king have
been found there, the oldest" name being that of Amenemhat III. "It is
unnecessary to imagine more than that it was monumental, and a monument of
more than one king of Egypt."
In 1898, the Harpers Dictionary of Classical Antiquities described the
structure as "the largest of all the temples of Egypt, the so-called
Labyrinth, of which, however, only the foundation stones have been
preserved."

The Orion Prophecy
Will the world be destroyed in 2012?
Prophecies from the Maya and the Old Egyptians
In the year 2012 the Earth awaits a super catastrophe:
its magnetic field will completely reverse in one go. Phenomenal
earthquakes and tidal waves will destroy our civilization. Europe and
North-America will shift thousands of kilometers northward and end up
in a polar clime. Nearly the whole Earth's population will perish in
the apocalyptic events.
These predictions stem from the Maya and Egyptians. They
are descendants of the legendary Atlantis, which is currently buried
under the South-Pole.
|
|
The Atlanteans had highly evolved astronomical
knowledge and were able to exactly predict the previous world-wide
flood in 9792 BC. They built tens of thousands of boats and escaped to
South-America and Egypt.
The authors launch this world-shattering message after
having cracked several ancient star codes (that are over 10,000 years
old) of crucial importance to civilization as we approach the year
2012. In that year Venus, Orion and several other stars will take the
same 'code-positions' as in 9792 BC, the year of the previous
cataclysm!
But there is more. For thousands of years historical
sources have told of a forgotten time-capsule of ancient wisdom
located in a massive labyrinth. They speak of secret chambers filled
with artifacts and documents from the previous flood. This 'Hall of
Records' was created by this antediluvian race and the Old Egyptians,
who held strong apocalyptic beliefs and wanted to preserve their
accomplishments and wisdom for posterity.
Geryl & Ratinckx have established to locate this famous
labyrinth. The authors prove their points with extensive scientific
and archeological research. The excavation of this time-capsule will
have enormous implications, archeologists and scientists will see it
as an invaluable insight into the technologies of a hitherto
undiscovered race... if they proceed in time!

The World Cataclysm in 2012
In my previous book, "The Orion Prophecy", I came to the
staggering conclusion that the earth will be subjected to a huge
disaster. The cause: the magnetic field of the earth will reverse in
one go, resulting in catastrophic consequences for humanity. Immense
earthquakes will sweep away all buildings on earth; while continents
will shift thousands of kilometers and an all-demolishing tidal wave
will leave billions of dead people behind. |
|
In this book I scientifically reveal the millennia-old
codes of the Maya and the Old Egyptians, which refer to this
super-disaster. The reader gets carried away in an astonishing series
of discoveries about the secrets of a long lost past -- of an
antediluvian civilization, which was able to calculate the previous
polar shift, and its late descendants, who have calculated the next
reversal for 2012. What I discovered is incredibly shocking and of
such crucial importance, that it concerns everybody without any
exception.
The Dresden Codex of the Maya, for instance, contains the
secrets of the sunspot cycle, about which our modern astronomers know
nothing yet! The conclusions that follow, are even more staggering.
At a certain moment, when the sun's magnetism reaches a
crucial point, the sun's surface will be subjected to immense storms.
They will cause a super-catastrophe on earth, without equal. The
astronomical Zodiac of the Egyptians described the exact dates of the
previous disasters and their consequences for our planet.
When you combine the facts of these phenomena, you are
able to prove the source of the number 666, known from the Bible as
the number of the Apocalypse. It is taken from the Egyptian
civilization and indicates an aberration in the sunspot cycle, which
lays the foundation for the forthcoming world cataclysm.
Furthermore, both cultures had made incredibly precise
calculations for the orbit of the earth around the sun. They are so
accurate, that they exceed our present values! Completely astonished
by this discoveries, I could do nothing but acknowledge these ancient
particulars as exact, and with that, concede that our end is imminent.

How to Survive 2012
by Patrick Geryl In 2012 the next polar reversal will take place on earth.
This means that the North Pole will be changed into the South Pole.
Scientifically this can only be explained by the fact that the earth
will start rotating in the opposite direction, together with a huge
disaster of unknown proportions.
Immense earthquakes and kilometers-high tidal waves will
torment the surface of the earth. At the same time a pole shift will
occur. In just a couple of hours the earth's crust will shift
thousands of kilometers. In this short period the United States and
Europe will be completely destroyed. |
|
Billions of casualties will occur worldwide; only a few
human beings will have a chance to survive.
These are the horrible facts. But how do you survive this
"Armageddon", this ultimate "End of Times" scenario?
Everybody will ask this question. This shocking book will
give you the answers, and they are not very encouraging: those who do
not prepare themselves will die in a terrible way. When you do prepare
yourself, your survival chances will quickly rise. The problems we
will have to overcome are immense, but not insurmountable.
I wrote this book because I want to be one of the
survivors. It is a blueprint for all of you who want to re-live the
story of Noah. I explain thoroughly all the problems we are going to
encounter and which precautions we need to take. I expect to inspire
enough people so that together we can resume life on earth in a new
civilization.

About the Author
 |
Patrick was on a diet of fruit and vegetables, believing
this would make him live long, very long. Ironically enough, his own
discoveries about the "End of Times in 2012" shocked him so deeply
that it put him on a worldwide quest.
Patrick Geryl is the author of 9 books, written in Dutch
of which one was published in Germany, called "Topfit mit Sonnenkost".
All of them became bestsellers.
Since his childhood Patrick was also very interested in
astronomy and up to now he studied hundreds of publications and books
on this subject. |
|
In his first published book on astronomy ("A new
Space-Time Dimension", 1979),
he launched an attack on the world famous relativity theory: he
predicted several spectacular things that were connected to the
universe. His predictions were confirmed in the last ten years,
getting a lot of publicity in the Belgium press and television.
Within three years time he hopes to present his book in
the USA, but first he has more important things to do. Through his
astronomical knowledge, he discovered a trace leading to a
high-developed civilization that was destroyed by a polar reversal.
The descendants of this civilization, the Maya and Old Egyptians,
predict a similar disaster for the year 2012. Noticing the urgency of
this warning, Patrick started an intensive research and wrote three
books on this subject.
The first book, "The Orion Prophecy", was published in
1998 in Belgium and Holland. It was translated and published at the
end of 2001 in the USA. After this, translations followed in Polish
(Edit. Amber), Spanish (Kier), Bulgarian and Portugese (Pensamento).
In the meantime the book became a bestseller in Poland. "The World
Cataclysm in 2012" was published in 2005 in the USA. It also became a
bestseller in Poland. "How to survive 2012" was published at the end
of 2006.
After these publications, Patrick will mainly spend his
time on forming a survival group. |
