=Who built the pyramids?= | |||
William Branham believed that Enoch built the pyramids. However, there is absolutely no evidence of this. | |||
Giza is the location of the Pyramid of Khufu (also known as the "Great Pyramid" or the "Pyramid of Cheops"); the somewhat smaller Pyramid of Khafre (or Kephren); the relatively modest-sized Pyramid of Menkaure (or Mykerinus), along with a number of smaller satellite edifices known as "Queen's pyramids"; and the Great Sphinx. | |||
Based on a mark in an interior chamber naming the work gang and a reference to fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu, Egyptologists believe that the Great Pyramid of Khufu was built as a tomb over a 10 to 20-year period concluding around 2560 BC.<ref>Vyse, H., ''Operations Carried on at the Pyramids of Gizeh in 1837: With an Account of a Voyage into Upper Egypt, and an Appendix.''

The Pyramid of Khafre is the second-tallest and second-largest of the ancient Egyptian pyramids of Giza and the tomb of the Fourth-Dynasty pharaoh Khafre (Chefren), who ruled from c. 2558 to 2532 BC.<ref>Shaw, Ian, "The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt", 2000 p.90</ref> | |||
The Pyramid of Menkaure's date of construction is unknown, because Menkaure's reign has not been accurately defined, but it was probably completed in the 26th century BC. | |||

''There was a '''pyramid after that, Enoch''', which testified exactly. We wouldn't have time to go into it, but, someday, by God's help, I'll show you, just '''exactly draws the dimension of the hour we're living'''. See? Notice, but this geographical measure now that we have, who dimensions are the same, doesn't necessary mean that it has to be a--a cube. Notice, this would answer Egypt's... or the Enoch's sign in Egypt.<ref>THE FUTURE HOME OF THE HEAVENLY BRIDEGROOM AND THE EARTHLY BRIDE JEFF.IN 64-0802</ref> | ''There was a '''pyramid after that, Enoch''', which testified exactly.

:''Like '''Enoch, who built the pyramids''', that we believe. And the capstone never was put on top of them, '''because the headstone was rejected'''. And we taken now, not as Doctrine, but as to understand, just for the church here.<ref>62-1104M BLASPHEMOUS.NAMES JEFFERSONVILLE.IN</ref> | |||
