Ezekiel's Vision and the Ancient Egyptian Pinion-Pulley

One of the biggest events of the ancient world was the construction of the Giza Pyramids.

Ezekiel writes of machines thus, “their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.” A Pyramid block with pulleys fitted is about one metre wide and one and a half metres high. When numerous pulleys were ascending the Pyramid during the cool of night by firelight, the scene would certainly be high and awesome. Ezekiel writes of what appears to be the lifting devices used to fit the pulley which he writes are straight with a calf shaped foot made of bronze. These devices are known as “claw lifts” and are fully explained in the book, RAISING STONE 1. I suspected the claw lifts were made of timber and their feet strengthened with bronze plates. There is no need to consider Ezekiel mentally sick and there is no need to entertain any ideas of UFO’s and aliens. The building of the Pyramids was a dramatic event of ancient times using the latest technology involving machinery. This machinery was designed and manufactured by MAN, and having the strength of an OX, could soar like an EAGLE and leap like a LION. The four faces are the associated attributes of the machinery itself. The CHERUBS are the pulleys climbing as if alive and their WINGS are the pulley lobes which touch each other as they are tied together around a beryl coloured sandstone block to be part of the THRONE. The THRONE is the Pyramid. The NOISE and WHIRLWIND refer to much activity onsite at Giza. (This ancient bible documented report is dated c.590 BC)

I need to be specific about … “and all four rims were full of eyes all around”.
Ezekiel’s reference to “eyes all around” is how the cross-pegs (for the rope) appear on the outer faces of the four pinion-pulley’s lobes.
These “eyes” are adjacent the four rims of the four pinion-pulley lobes and so are “all around”.
These “eyes” are, to be specific, the round flat ends of the cross-pegs.
These end pegs were more than likely enhanced with paint to give animal’s eyes appearance, to bestow animal qualities to the pinion-pulleys operation. (Bird’s eyes for flight, lion’s eyes for power and so forth).
There are today only two ancient documents related to ancient Egyptian Pyramid construction at Giza.
“Ezekiel’s vision” and information given to Herodotus of Halicarnassus (The Greek Father of History) c.450 BC by his counterparts at Giza who were the historian priests as the ancient priesthood were literate and it is they who recorded history that was Egypt’s concern and interest.
For instance Egyptian priests recorded the devastating eruption of the Thera (Kalliste) volcano which occurred 1627-1600 BC as this event caused horrific events in Egypt and caused the declining Minoan (Kalliste) Maritime Empire, Egypt’s trading partner, an accelerated decline.
Ezekiel’s “vision” is a firmly established real event which has been much talked about for years in the Middle East.
Priest Ezekiel at Babylon, would have heard accounts from relatives of people who had been employed by Pharaoh Khufu’s administration and/or the administration of Khafre and Menkaure.
Ezekiel’s account may lack the technical language we take for granted, but knowing the subject of his “vision” gives us an insight into the quaintness of ancient language.
References to animals was part of the ancient world in language and in artifacts.
“He’s as strong as an ox, fights like a lion and can run like a cheetah”.
Ancient furniture legs have animal feet, paws and claws and arm-rests have animal paws and claws for instance.
This tradition has continued into modern times, but today we have technical language available to us when we want to be clear and precise.

Thanks for taking the time to study my work.
Ezekiel’s vision is solved by accident however.
Firstly, I had to discover how 2.3 million blocks of stone were raised in just twenty years (historically documented) for construction of Khufu’s Great Pyramid.
Rampless Pyramid construction was realised during university research on the Sunday afternoon of 27 August 2006.
The pinion-pulley lobes are known by many people as “Petrie rockers” after William Matthew Flinders Petrie was handed one in 1895 for his Petrie museum in London. This “rocker” was found at Deir El Bahari in the temple complex of Pharaoh Hatshepsut and bears the cartouche of the woman Pharaoh Hatshepsut which translates as “Elegant Lady”.
The lobed components when fitted around a block of stone do NOT form a wheel but a four lobe array or as I began to realise, “wheels within wheels” and found myself reading and studying Ezekiel’s vision over and over for hours.
How else could a person describe a LOBE in 590 BC ?
“Wheels within wheels” is referring to the four lobes as fitted around a Pyramid block.
Some readers will be asking if The Great Pyramid could have been built within twenty years as historical documents state?
Let us suppose ten of these “wheels within wheels” wooden machines were operating on each side of the Pyramid, so there were forty “wheels within wheels” wooden machines at work back in 2500 BC.
The workers were NOT slaves, so let them have an eight hour day (or the cool of night, working by torch-light) and let them raise one block per machine to its place per hour.
The daily work of forty “wheels within wheels” wooden machines raises 320 blocks per day.
With 365 days in a year this is 116,800 blocks raised per year and in twenty years Khufu’s Great Pyramid has been completed with an estimated 2,336,000 blocks being raised and placed.
Ramps are NOT mentioned in any historical documents relating to Giza Pyramid construction and all ramp theories are modern and not related to real ancient history. All ramp theories become null and void anyway due to the fact that 2.3 million blocks of stone had to be placed within twenty years, so ramp theorists have stated Greek historian Herodotus was a liar and Egyptian historian priests did not know what they were talking about … and there was a mix-up with the translation from Egyptian to Greek. Most of these ramp theorists people are highly paid experts (ex-spurts) who have made documentary films and written their lies into books. You all know who they are.

When we read of men having clawed feet or a calf’s foot this is not about deformed people or aliens.
This has to be interpreted as men carrying or working with clawed feet apparatus or the apparatus has a calf’s foot shaped attachment.

Ezekiel tells us the calf shaped feet of the claw-lifts are made of burnished bronze.


"And this was their appearance: they had the form of men, but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings. Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze."


There are two centrally edge located notches cut out in the base of many Pyramid blocks where these attachments were placed for lifting the blocks so the opened and laid flat pinion-pulley lobes, like an open bracelet, could be pulled underneath, wrapped around a Pyramid block and closed, making it ready for its step-walk upward on the Pyramid’s steps.

These lifting devices are known as claw-lifts.

The image below shows the ancient Egyptian pinion-pulley step-walking making positive engagements with Pyramid steps with rack & pinion mechanics to do so. The Pyramid steps provide the RACK and the PINION is the four lobed pinion-pulley surrounding the Pyramid block. When hoisted with the outer rope the pinion-pulley step-walks upwards. The Giza Pyramid builders used a Pyramid under construction, progressively to the point of completion.
