Egypt– October 14th to 26th 2012:
Wisdom of Ancient Khemit
Join your hosts Bianca White & Shule Houlihan, along with
Speakers Yousef & Patricia Awyan on a Journey of Egypt that
promises to transform the way you experience your life forever!
Prepare to discard much of what you’ve been told about ancient
Egypt, and open your eyes, minds and hearts to an entirely new
perspective
The ancient sites were created with an impeccable precision of
mathematical and sacred geometrical architecture combined with a
specific combination of natural elements over the earth’s most
powerful ley lines. We will guide you through the ancient sites in
such a way as to awaken your senses to higher levels of awareness
and self empowerment!
October 14th –Day 1 Cairo
A transfer representative will meet you at the airport to assist
you with entry formalities, and escort you to the luxurious Mercure
Cairo Le Sphinx Hotel in Giza, less than 5 minutes from the Giza
Plateau.
We will enjoy a relaxing Welcome Dinner in the early evening and
gather together afterwards for introductions and more! Overnight
Mercure Hotel (D)
October 15th –Day 2 Dashur & Saqqara
After an early breakfast we’ll leave in our air conditioned
motor coach to the ancient site of Dashur where we will visit the
Red and Bent Pyramids, attributed to the King Sneferu. It is no
accident that the title Sneferu translates as ―double harmony‖ and
refers to the different tones of frequency that these pyramids
vibrate with. We will collectively awaken and activate the energies
of the Red Pyramid when we enter the resonance chambers within,
with their corbelled walls that were built for harmonics. We will
talk about why and how the dynamic design of these pyramid
complexes was significant as we explore the area around the Bent
Pyramid, known to the locals as the “healing pyramid”.
After we enjoy an Egyptian style lunch at a local restaurant, we
will depart for Saqqara, home of the Step Pyramid attributed to
King Zjoser. We will experience the still active healing energies
of the ancient “Hospital” at this site and experience the balancing
of the sacred feminine and masculine energies. Yousef will lead us
on an exploration of the area that surrounds the Pyramid of Unas,
which contains all the elements of ancient ―Per Neters‖ or energy
devices. Here we will have the opportunity to view the beautiful
Pyramid Texts, mystical and magical incantations created during the
Old Kingdom. We’ll return back to the Mercure Hotel for an evening
on your own. (B,L)
October 16th –Day 3 Giza Pyramids & Sphinx
After an early breakfast, your motor coach will bring you to the
famous Giza Plateau. Experience the magnificence of these powerful
monuments and see for yourself, the anomalies that confirm that
they are far more ancient then text books suggest, and were never
created to be tombs! You will have the opportunity to ride a camel
starting from the top of the Plateau, where you will enjoy a
beautiful panoramic view of the Pyramids, to the Sphinx, who the
indigenous call Tefnut. Next, we will explore the very ancient
Valley Temple, with its alabaster floor and huge, intricately laid
blocks. We will discuss how and why this Temple was built to
withstand major vibrational shifts.
Afterwards we’ll enjoy lunch together, at our favorite
restaurant in the village, and visit the Awyan home at the base of
the Giza Plateau.
Overnight Mercure Hotel (B,L)
October 17th –Day 4 Abu Sir & Abu Ghurob
There will be a morning option after a buffet breakfast at the
hotel, to be advised.
After lunch, we will drive to the Awyan home, from where we will
leave in taxis to the amazing sites of Abu Sir and Abu Ghurob. Abu
Sir, whose ancient name was Per-Wsir (Bu Wizzer) or ―Place of Auser
(Osiris)‖, with its seven pyramids reflecting the Pleiades, is
strewn with amazing anomalies. Yousef will lead us on an
investigation of this site—pointing out the many ―smoking guns‖
that defy logic, and confirm that the ancient Khemitians used
superior technologies 10,500 -50,000 years ago---or more
We will discuss several theories on what alchemical purpose the
giant alabaster basins with strange gear-like designs found at Abu
Ghurob may have been used for. Egyptologists call this the place of
the Sun Temple, however, the indigenous claim Abu Ghurob may be the
most ancient ceremonial site on the planet! Our afternoon will
culminate with a sunset meditation around the giant calcite crystal
“Hotep” that Hakim suggested was an ancient landing pad for
inter-dimensional or intergalactic journeying. Yes, this was/is an
ancient vortex or Stargate! This crystal platform, with its sacred
geometrical design, creates a harmonic resonance achieved by means
of sound vibrations to raise levels of awareness. Our Taxi’s will
drive us back to the hotel for an evening on your own. Overnight
Mercure Hotel (B, L, D)
October 18th –Day 5 Valley of the Kings & Ramesseum
After breakfast, we will fly to Luxor, in Upper Egypt and check
into the deluxe Maritim Jolie Ville Kings Island Resort, situated
on its own private island, surrounded by the majestic Nile
River.
This afternoon we will explore the sites on the West Bank. First
we will visit the Valley of the Kings where we will view some of
the ancient tombs filled with beautifully symbolic artwork.
Afterwards, we go to the Ramesseum, the mortuary temple of Ramses
II, where you will see the incredible remnants of huge megalithic
monuments.
Your evening will be free. Overnight Maritim Jolie Ville Kings
Island Resort (B )
October 19th –Day 6 Abydos and Dendera Temples
After an early breakfast we will embark via motor coach on a
journey north to the ancient pilgrimage site of Abydos and the
Temple of Seti I, dedicated to Osiris (Ausar), the consort of Isis
(Auset), associated with Orion and the divine masculine principle.
He represented the male creative force and was known as ―Lord of
the Duat‖. Beautiful images that are multi-dimensionally symbolic
cover the walls of this magical temple.
Behind the Temple of Osiris sits the very ancient Osirieon
Temple, which may have been built more than 50,000 years ago,
according to the indigenous tradition. Although, there is no
writing on the temple walls, there are several Flower of Life
symbols found perfectly etched on the giant pillars. Many stories
have been told of the miraculous healing properties of the water
that has risen to surround the pillars of this lower temple.
We will walk a short distance to the Temple of Ramses II, also
filled with an array of beautifully symbolic images. The Holy of
Holy’s that we will visit here was encased in a chamber made of the
very energetic alabaster crystal! We will enjoy boxed lunches, made
for us by our Hotel, at the outdoor cafe here.
Dendera
Our next stop is the fascinating Temple of Hathor at Dendera.
Star maps depicted on the ceilings in this temple, and the replica
of famous Dendera Zodiac (the original is displayed at the Louvre
in Paris) point to the ancient origins of astrology and superior
knowledge of our cosmos. Hathor (Het-Hert), the Netert who
personified motherhood, beauty, sexuality, love, joy, harmony,
dance and music was often associated with the planet, Venus. She
was known as the Lady of the Stars, and also represented the
nurturing solar food of the Sun’s rays, required for birth, growth
and renewal
There are many mysteries to be uncovered and experienced at
Dendera, which we will point out and discuss as we explore the
temple and crypt below. Historians still can’t agree on what the
fascinating images (possibly of advanced technologies) found in the
crypt represent. We will have free time for dinner and an evening
on our own. Overnight Maritim Jolie Ville Kings Island Resort (B,
L)
Optional evening activities while in Luxor include shopping at
the souks and bazaars, visiting the Luxor Museum , fellucca sailing
or exploring the treasures that Luxor (ancient Thebes) has to offer
on your own! You will also have the opportunity to enjoy an
optional Hot Air Balloon ride over the West Bank.
October 20th –Day 7 Karnak and Luxor Temples
One can never have enough time to fully explore all the riches
of Karnak, the world’s largest temple, where we will spend the
entire morning after an early breakfast. An avenue of ram-headed
sphinxes leads us into the gigantic complex, on our special Sunrise
Visit that includes temples dedicated to Amun, a Neter representing
an aspect or stage of the Sun and Khonsu, who represents the
Moon.
The powerful sacred geometric design and natural elements of the
architecture itself has the ability to transform and raise levels
of awareness and consciousness as you walk through this temple.
Sacred Initiation occurs when we discover ourselves as we
experience the universal reality that surrounds us. We increase our
levels of awareness and frequency when we can, with positive and
heartfelt intentions, integrate or compress an outside source of
ignited light based energy and direct it inward (implosion)
We will visit the powerful Chapel of Sekhmet, the Netert who
represents the potent and sometimes destructive energies of the
sun. Sekhmet personifies the solar rays that provide the
electromagnetic energy required to sustain life and the earth’s
grid. As the lioness, she symbolizes the powerful and fierce, yet
protective love, akin to that of any mother. Sekhem , means ―power‖
and Sekhmet is the electrical spark that provides the necessary
energy to perform what we have been told are mystical, magical and
powerful feats, including the healing of the physical body Be
prepared to experience a morning you will never forget! Afterwards,
we will check into our rooms on our 5-star cruise ship, and enjoy a
buffet lunch served onboard.
Luxor Temple
Linked to Karnak Temple by the Avenue of Sphinxes, Luxor Temple
utilizes similar patterns of sacred geometry in its design. You
will explore the mysteries of the enigmatic Luxor Temple after
dinner on the cruise ship. After 15 years of intense study,
Alchemist, R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz, called the Luxor Temple, “The
Temple of Man” , in a book in which explored the connectedness of
ancient Egyptian philosophy, spirituality, mathematics, and
science. Lubicz’s theory that the Luxor Temple was designed to
replicate all aspects of Man (body, mind and spirit), is well
documented and has gained support from many Alternative
Egyptologists, such as John Anthony West.
The rest of your evening is free. Nile Cruise (B, L, D)
October 21st –Day 8 Nile Cruise
After our buffet breakfast onboard, your morning is free. We set
sail on our spectacular Cruise on the Nile as we enjoy lunch
together. An almost surreal experience… Enjoy viewing the lush
countryside and life along the river’s banks, much of which appears
the same as it may have thousands of years ago!
Nile Cruise (B, L, D)
October 22nd –Day 9 Edfu and Kom Ombo Temples
We will arrive in Edfu after breakfast. Horse drawn carriages
will carry us to the remarkable temple dedicated to the falcon
Neter, Horus, one of the most well preserved temples in Egypt. This
temple of many mysteries was built during Ptolemaic times on top of
a far more ancient Temple of Horus. Carved upon the walls here, is
one of the most unique and enigmatic mythological sagas to be found
in Egypt – Zep Tepi, or ―the first time‖, referring to a
mythological golden age when the Neteru lived amongst humanity
together with the half-divine offspring of Neteru and humans. The
indigenous tradition teaches that this is a mis-leading retelling
of the history of the golden ―Age of Aten‖ when all human beings
were gifted with 360 senses, or what we inadvertently, might
consider to be the miraculous abilities of ―gods‖.
After an afternoon of sailing we will stop in Kom Ombo, where
we’ll visit the twin temples dedicated to the crocodile Neter,
Sobek and to Horus, the Elder. We will discuss the aspects of
nature and our cosmos represented by the Neteru and how they relate
to awakening our senses and raising our levels of awareness. We
will speak of the powerful initiations that were once practiced
here, and how we can tap into the profound and self empowering
lessons experienced here by the ancients. You will also have the
opportunity to view depictions of various medical instruments and
alchemical healing practices.
Overnight Nile Cruise (B, L, D)
October 23rd –Day 10 Temple of Khnum at Elephantine Island
This morning we’re off to Elephantine Island, in Aswan, to
explore the temple dedicated to the creator Neter, Khnum, with its
many remnants displaying the superior technologies of pre-dynastic
times. Two museums here offer an eclectic and unique array of
artifacts found in the area. Lunch and dinner will be served
onboard the cruise ship. Our afternoon and evening will be free to
enjoy a wide variety of optional activities, that include a visit
to a Nubian Village, a group visit to the Aswan Souks for a little
shopping therapy, or sailing the Nile on a Felucca. Nile Cruise (B,
L, D)
October 24th –Day 11 Unfinished Obelisk and Temple of Isis at
Philae
After breakfast, we will explore the famous Aswan quarry that is
home to the 1,200 ton Unfinished Obelisk, that only a handful of
cranes worldwide could lift today, and other significant evidence
of higher technologies used by the ancient Khemitians
Temple of Isis at Philae
Next we will take a motorboat to the enchanting Island of
Philae, and the powerful Temple of Auset (Isis). Auset represents
the ancients’ most highly revered star, Sirius. The annual rising
of Sirius was synonymous with the flooding of the River Nile, which
left huge deposits of silt, the very valuable black earth or ―KMT‖
(Khemit) for which Egypt was named. Auset as Sirius symbolized
fertility, and therefore wealth and abundance, to the land and
people of Khemit. Auset is the Netert of Creation of all living
things and represented the archetype for the creation of matter-
from which our word for ―mother‖ is derived. She is usually
depicted wearing the throne, or ―seat of power‖, reflecting the
matriarchal nature of the very ancient civilization where kingship
was passed down through the female lineage. After sharing some of
the highlights of this Temple together, you will have time to
explore the captivating wonders of this temple on your own. In the
Evening we fly to Cairo and check into the Mercure Hotel. (B)
October 25th –Day 12 Giza and the Great Pyramid
After breakfast, we will return to the Giza Plateau for a final
day of surprises and adventures, which will include entry into the
King’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid.
Yousef will help us to achieve the tone of resonance with the
highly crystallized granite of the chamber walls and “resonance
box” for a group sound activation.
Optional private time between the Paws of the Sphinx! (Please
inquire about this option when you register for the tour)
We will take our time to explore some of our favorite and
special areas on the Giza Plateau, including some of the tunnels,
rooms and shafts in the area’s huge subterranean network! Plan to
spend the afternoon with the Awyans, or enjoy a free afternoon on
your own.
Tonight we will share a Farewell Dinner together. Overnight
