Bible passage: Genesis 2:15Andiko la Biblia: Mwanzo 2:15
"Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it."“Bwana Mungu akamtwaa huyo mtu, akamweka katika bustani ya Edeni, ailime na kuitunza.”
This is the 60th Lecture on Genesis.
In the last lecture, I explained how Adam built the 3 Pyramids in Giza. Among the three, I'll explain in greater detail about the inner structure of the Great Pyramid. This entrance is about 17 meters above the ground level, and it is blocked. About 10 meters below this original entrance is another entrance. It is believed that this entrance was made by Al Mamoun to rob a tomb inside the Great Pyramid. Today, tourists enter the Great Pyramid through this entrance. Based on the location of the original entrance, I will explain the inner structure of the Great Pyramid.
This entrance leads into the descending passage which slopes down at an angle of about 26 degrees. The distance of this descending passage is about 105 meters, and it meets a shorter horizontal passage which is about 9 meters long. And then, this shorter passage leads to a small room. This is the room called, "Subterranean (or Lower) Chamber." At 28 meters from the Original entrance along the Descending Passage is the beginning of the Ascending Passage which slopes up at an angle of about 26 degrees. Following the Ascending Passage for about 40 meters, you come across an intersection. You can take one of two routes here; one is "the Grand Gallery," an ascending passage with an upward angle of 26 degrees, and the other is horizontal passage.
If you follow the horizontal passage, you will wind up in the "Queen's Chamber." The 'Grand Gallery' is a passage which is 8.5 meters high and 46 meters long. As you continue going up the Grand Gallery, you eventually end up in the "King's Chamber."
Hili ni somo la 60 katika mafundisho ya Mwanzo.
Katika somo lililopita, nilieleza jinsi Adamu alivyojenga piramidi tatu za Giza. Miongoni mwa hizo, nitaeleza kwa kina zaidi muundo wa ndani wa Piramidi Kuu. Mlango wake wa awali uko takriban mita 17 juu ya usawa wa ardhi na umefungwa. Takriban mita 10 chini ya mlango huo kuna mlango mwingine. Inaaminika kwamba Al-Ma’mun alitengeneza mlango huo ili kuiba kaburi lililokuwa ndani ya Piramidi Kuu. Leo watalii huingia kwenye Piramidi Kuu kupitia mlango huo. Nitaeleza muundo wa ndani wa Piramidi Kuu nikianzia mahali ulipo mlango wa awali.
Mlango huo unaelekea kwenye njia ya kushuka yenye mwinuko wa takriban nyuzi 26. Njia hiyo ina urefu wa karibu mita 105 na hukutana na njia fupi ya mlalo yenye urefu wa takriban mita 9. Njia hiyo fupi inaelekea kwenye chumba kidogo kinachoitwa “Chumba cha Chini ya Ardhi.” Ukiendelea mita 28 kutoka mlango wa awali kwenye njia ya kushuka, unafika mwanzo wa njia ya kupanda yenye mwinuko wa takriban nyuzi 26. Ukiifuata njia hiyo kwa takriban mita 40, unafika kwenye makutano yenye njia mbili: moja ni “Jumba Kuu,” njia ya kupanda yenye mwinuko wa nyuzi 26, na nyingine ni njia ya mlalo.
Ukifuata njia ya mlalo, unafika kwenye “Chumba cha Malkia.” “Jumba Kuu” ni njia yenye kimo cha mita 8.5 na urefu wa mita 46. Ukiendelea kupanda kupitia Jumba Kuu, hatimaye unafika kwenye “Chumba cha Mfalme.”
