OKLAHOMA CITY – A few days after talk-show host Alex Jones posted a classic video “rant” against “The Pyramid” in Memphis, Tennessee titled *"Devil Pyramid Rotting in Memphis."  Jones had been in Memphis after returning from bullhorning the globalist Bilderberg gathering in northern Virginia and was on his way back to Austin, Texas.

This Internet video received a lot of attention, including a segment on Memphis WMC-TV 5 several days ago where the news anchor blandly counters Jones’ rant agains the “Devil Palace,” hoping it falls down and says, “Memphis leaders, of course, hope the Pyramid does not fall but it instead rises as a beacon for outdoor enthusiasts and good family fun when Bass Pro sets up shop."

You heard it right. Bass Pro Shops is giving the now-closed Great American Pyramid a new lease on life when the former concert and sports arena opens as an enormous, pyramid-shaped Bass Pro Shop, scheduled for an August 2013 opening, according to the Memphis Business Journal.

The Springfield, Mo.-based company, which has a large store here in Oklahoma City, signed a 55-year lease for the Pyramid, which the company hopes is transformed into a “retail, entertainment and tourism destination,” notes the Memphis Commercial Appeal. We should add that the photo accompanying this story features the Memphis Mayor AC Wharton and Bass Pro Shops President Jim Hagale standing next to an artist rendering of the Pyramid with other buildings around. From the Pyramid a beam of light is shown shooting from the capstone, not unlike the recent images of pyramid energy beams photographed in Mexico and Bosnia.

Currently, the interior of the Pyramid, which hosted everything from a Grateful Dead concert to a Cher concert , a Christian "Promise Keepers" rally and more is being cleared out for Bass Pro. Years ago, even Michael Jackson showed up for an Elvis-related event with Lisa Marie Presley. The structure opened in November 1991 and was shut down in 2007 following a concert by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band. Driving east along I-40 it stands out as one crosses the Tennessee state line over the Mississippi River into the city of Memphis. Great barbecue at the Rendevous!

But it is its curious history that garners the most attention from people looking beyond municipal infighting, money woes and lack of forward-looking leadership.

Some say the Pyramid is cursed. Flooding problems, a person died, bad acoustics and a county official going so far as to call the structure “evil.” Of course one would expect such reactions from someone unfamiliar with the sacred geometry and ancient knowledge that the ancient Egyptians used to build the original pyramids. 

That view would likely be shared by Isaac Tigrett, the Jackson, Tenn.-raised businessman and New Ager who founded both the Hard Rock Café and House of Blues. Of course the Hard Rock Cafe incorporates a sun image, indicating sun god worship. And in Texe Marrs's informative book Mysterious Monuments: Encyclopedia of Secret Illuminati Designs, Masonic Architecture, and Occult Places (2008, RiverCrest Publishing) a picture of Tigrett, sitting in the lotus position in front of the Pyramid, is featured from the November 1990 cover of American Way, the American Airlines in-flight magazine.

Tigrett, son of Pyramid founder John Tigrett, was heavily involved in seeing to the building of the Great American Pyramid near the Memphis’s Mississippi River riverfront. John Tigrett and Sidney Shlenker were initially the men behind the “Grand Plan” of the Pyramid, although Shlenker was not keen on the crystal skull angle.

Deeply involved in eastern mysticism, eastern religious beliefs and esoteric beliefs, Isaac Tigrett (who married Beatle drummer Ringo Starr’s ex-wife, Maureen Cox Starkey, who would die in 1994) became a follower of Indian guru Sathya Sai Baba.

Tigrett, it should be noted, worships this “secret swami” and he has publicly acknowledged that Sathya Sai Baba “gave him a crystal skull at an interview where the object just appeared in Sai Baba’s hands,” as noted at Sai Baba critic Robert Priddy’s website. Priddy also notes that Tigrett “believes in the supernatural power of this skull and that cosmic balance depends on it (somehow) and that it carries a cosmic curse which can destroy the earth.”

So, during the construction of the Pyramid (1989-91), Tigrett secreted away a crystal skull and other items in metal box which was welded at the apex (top) of the Pyramid.

As Memphis Flyer reporter John Branston noted in 2010, “In late 1991, The Pyramid was new and exciting. Befitting the weird building, there was a weird rumor that, during construction, workmen were paid to weld a metal box inside the apex. The installation supposedly took place late at night, with the mysterious box carried by persons dressed in black and carrying a transit pointed the North Star.”

Branston writes that the box, high in the Pyramid, was retrieved by workmen and Shelby County officials and later opened. “There was a wooden box inside the metal box and a black velvet box inside the wooden box. Inside the velvet box was a crystal skull about the size of a man’s fist, with sunken eyes, a sunken nose, and elongated teeth.”

Tigrett would acknowledge placing the skull in The Pyramid “as part of a time capsule to generate future publicity for the project. The skull was eventually returned to him. He said it was intended to be part of a promotion called ‘The Egyptian Time Capsule.”

Isaac Tigrett was not pleased about the removal of the crystal skull, telling city officials that “You don’t have any idea what you have done” and saying htat the “cosmic balance” of the Earth could be disturbed. Native Americans warned the operators of the Pyramid that things were askew and a Texas New Ager said taking the crystal skull would prevent the Pyramid from becoming fully operational. It is suggested by one writer that “Masonic-leaning politicians … believe tha the remaining crystal skulls in the Pyramid are still ‘working’ energetically.”

And despite accusations of sexual abuse and other crimes against Sai Baba, Tigrett comes to his guru’s defense, explaining that he “had a special debt to the Indian mystic, who protected him during a devastating car wreck in California.” The story is that Sai Baba appeared in his car as he hurtled off the road in his sports car and that Sai Baba “put his arms around him and protected him from harm” while the car was destroyed. So, when Sai Baba made a crystal skull appear in his hand, it made perfect sense to Tigrett to place it in the apex of the Great American Pyramid.

Working with Tigrett was a well-known California architect named Jon Jerde. In a 1992 Commercial Appeal series called “Pyramid Dreams, Pyramid Schemes” by Louis Graham, notes how Jerde had been successful in design work for the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles (the Olympics that ended with the eerie appearance of a large “UFO”) and had come up with dark, ancient Egypt-themed rides that were called “Rakapolis” and “a dark ride named ‘The Netherworld.’” Both Tigrett and Jerde had recently been in Egypt observing the Pyramids at Giza and on The scary “Netherworld” ride, Jerde suggested “a god looms on the other side. He holds two living eyeballs in his outstretched hands.” High costs prevented the ride from coming to fruition.

The Smart City Memphis blog addressed the Pyramid controversies and crystal skull mystery back in 2008 noting how maybe "the truth is that The Pyramid is just cursed ... The Pyramid has been a reliable tomb of doom for any big ideas for its use." The site also notes that maybe the city should have capitalized on the crystal skulls, considering that during 2008 you had the release of the film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, directed by Steven Spielberg and more talk of crystal skulls in relation to the Mayans and 2012 being the supposed end of the Mayan calendar.

Memphis decided not to embrace the skulls back in the early 1990's, as we all know. Talking to a friend who lived there at that time she told Red Dirt Report: "There was a general theory making the rounds that the Pyramid was a Masonic conspiracy. I had heard about the skulls. I saw a lot of ballgames and concerts there - never seemed to have any mystical powers."

Memphis Mayor AC Wharton said, in a WMC-TV article that no local tax dollars are being spent on the Bass Pro project. Still, the city council has authorized the city to “get bonds to fund the project, including 25-million for seismic retrofitting,” since there are earthquake concerns in the area.

One website critical of the city’s involvement with the Pyramid asks “How effective will the retrofit be in resisting an earthquake. Will the Pyramid really be safe or is this just an expensive band-aid fix?”

And those bonds? They will be repaid with state sales tax dollars generated by the project.

Of course Bass Pro expects to draw as many at 3 to 4 million visitors to Memphis. WCM-TV reports that inside the Bass Pro Pyramid will be "a cypress swamp that goes to about 9-feet in depth in some places ... along with a network of bridges and wharf-like docks." The interior of the Pyramid has been hollowed out now, leaving the skin, primarily. 

Speaking of pyramids, Red Dirt Report just received a copy of Nick Redfern’s new book The Pyramids and the Pentagon. We hope to have a review of this exciting new book posted very soon.

Germany plans
'cemetery pyramid'

 

By Tristana Moore
BBC News, Berlin 
 
It sounds like an absurd idea. The plan is to build a massive pyramid, filled with human remains, on a windswept field near the city of Dessau, eastern Germany.

But the organisers of the project are adamant that this is not a PR stunt. There were pyramids in ancient Egypt, so why not in modern-day Germany, they argue.

"We're doing this because the world wants it," said Jens Thiel, one of the initiators of the project.

 
 
 

"The new Great Pyramid would be a very efficient cemetery. It would have a huge capacity. A 150m-high pyramid could contain five million stones, it would be the size of six football fields and millions of people could be buried there." Mr Thiel, an economist, has teamed up with a writer, Ingo Niermann, to develop the project and they have managed to secure a government grant. They say more than 700 people from all over the world have already reserved a stone, keen to have their ashes kept in the giant structure.

 

 

"It's the first cemetery for people of all nationalities
and all religious beliefs."

--  Jens Thiel Friends of The Great Pyramid

 

In the future, these people will be able to buy a stone, which would cost up to 700 euros (£535; $1,070) each. "Lots of people don't like normal cemeteries. In Britain, 50% of people want their ashes to be scattered, in the US it is about 40%," said Mr Thiel. "The new Great Pyramid is a global monument. It's the first cemetery for people of all nationalities and all religious beliefs. It is a very beautiful, peaceful idea." Each concrete block would house an urn containing ashes, or memorabilia of the deceased.

Architectural competition

The organisers say the pyramid would grow gradually over the years.

 
 
 
 
"It's a very graphic way of dealing with the topic of death"  
 
--  Rem Koolhaas architectural competition chief  
 
 


"I've reserved a stone in the new pyramid because I want to be part of the project. It's very simple, I want to be cremated and I want my ashes to be buried there," said Jonas Obleser, a neuroscientist from Leipzig.

"The new pyramid is not a monument built for one king, it will be there for people of all faiths, for atheists, for everyone. It will grow for thousands of years. I would like to be one of the first people to be buried there."

The organisers launched an architectural competition for the construction of the pyramid last September.

Architecture firms submitted their plans. and the Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas headed the jury to select the final concept.

On Monday, several hundred people attended a gala evening in Berlin to hear the latest developments.

"We have seen four different interpretations of the pyramid - they are all interesting concepts," Rem Koolhaas said.

"In the West, we have been very phobic about death, but because of demographics, death will be imposed on all of us.

"There is a constant ageing process - it's important that this issue is addressed and it's a very graphic way of dealing with the topic of death. I'm curious to find out what happens in the end," Mr Koolhaas said.

'Taboo'

Originally, the plan was to build the pyramid on a derelict site near Dessau.

The organisers say the pyramid would act as a catalyst for job creation and economic growth - but many local residents are not so enthusiastic about the project.

"Death is such a taboo," said Mr Thiel. "We're looking at different sites. We could build the Great Pyramid anywhere in the world. It would be a kind of theme park about life and death."

Supporters are hoping the pyramid will find its resting place in Dessau.

"It would be beautiful if the pyramid could be built here in Germany," said Mr Obleser.

Sceptics will argue that this is a far-fetched idea and opponents are bound to come up with a reactionary "not-in-my-backyard" response.

The odds seem to be stacked against them, but organisers are determined to prove that they can fulfil their dreams.

Blood Offerings. If there is one constant in human history, it's the practice of ritual sacrifice. Priests of power within any system, be it tribal or otherwise, have been in the habit of "satisfying the gods" with some kind of offering placed humbly at the deity's feet. Without plunging into an endless anthropological exposé, archaeological excavations from Germany to South-America and ancient Mesopotamia have revealed that such practices were very much commonplace. Just as commonplace, incidentally, as the clapping-in-irons of free men.

Were the "gods" in the old days still an untouchable outside force, and the priests but mediators communicating their commands, today the elites have replaced them by their own countenance. But the contrast is superficial. Regardless of the question who occupies the god-seat at any one time, the offering has remained the same throughout the ages.

"Let there be floods of the blood of the bourgeois", Vladimir Iljitsj Lenin confided to a Bolshevik newspaper in 1918. " More blood, as much as possible."

It is this quiet, unspoken belief that by bringing about mass-death, the members gain divine powers, their claim to rule safeguarded. This has nothing to do with the environment. It's the ancient principle of the hunter, acquiring the life-blood of the hunted projected onto the globe. Now how to accomplish this lethal objective. Well, first let's answer the who-question. What entity has the ability and capacity to exterminate life on a massive scale? And who has proven to do so according to the historical record? Asking the question equals answering it. Government, of course.

Now, what sort of government could exterminate the most amount of people? National or global? Again, there is no question. And there you have it. But global government, however feverishly it is being pursued, it still only a means to an end. By accumulating political and economic power, coordinated on a global scale, those in the god-seat acquire not only sovereign rule over the planet, they can rule with the powers attributed to a god: power over life and death. And that means: life for them, death for us.
