a stone coffin, typically adorned with a sculpture or inscription and associated with the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Rome, and Greece.
Sarcophagi have been found around world; the pharaohs were often in them, as were many knights and kings. The stone coffins of many peoples safeguard and preserve the bodies of their loved ones. I’d even wager a guess that if we crack open (or just scan) any of the Moai (statues on Easter Island) –or any humanoid stone ruins anywhere– that all of them are sarcophagi containing large people of note, too.
So what about in Africa, home of some of the first and best-known leaders to be put and found in a sarcophagus? Are there any other examples of this entombment process on the continent where Wonders of the World still exist? There are, and some of them are not only in elaborate near-surface tombs made with big building blocks, but ones deeper underground with even more interesting features.
A legend currently being scrubbed from the Internet is one of an explorer who traveled into the heart of Africa, …where he learned of sarcophagi made not of stone, but of gemstones; crystal coffins. The ancient leaders and other greats of this continent were placed in large crystals from deep under the ground, and kept there for who knows how long. Want proof that crystals big enough to be fashioned into coffins exist? Here you go.
Why would crystals work better than stone for preserving a body in a living or other state? Why would crystals be chosen instead of stone for other reasons? Check out books such as The Crystal Bible for possible explanations.
Crystals and gemstones have been used for a very long time, perhaps for all time, to do more than just create lasers; people have believed in their powers to amplify intent, heal, clean, even protect. They have many other professed uses, too. Should it come as any surprise that there is an entire science to them most do not understand? How many devices do you use each and every day which you could explain, take apart, repair, and build yourself? Probably not that many. Crystals and gemstones fall into such a category; there is so much more for us to learn about how they are made, how they have been used, and what they can do.
Why is it that the Superman comics and movies show the people from other worlds erecting fortresses, communications chambers, healing pods, and data storage devices all out of giant crystals? Why is it that in the Bible it talks about the most special city of all; where Heaven and Earth will be reunited, being built atop a stack of very specific gemstones chosen and arranged thusly for the special properties that order, and their synergy, creates? Why did all the priests in ancient times also carefully select and arrange gemstones on their breastplate armor, kings then doing something similar with their scepters, staffs, and crowns? And why are only the tiniest and least-effective diamonds and other gemstones made available for sale to the public? (Inisfree is full of large gemstones used in construction, by the way; its foundation is the prescribed stack of slab-sized ones, and there are castle turret-like stand-alone towers spread out across the Inisfreean surface terrain for an as-of-yet undisclosed reason.)
My guess is that if a small crystal held in your hand, or suspended over a desk or window for Feng Shui, could have a significant positive impact on your life and daily dealings, then one the size of a coffin, car, or capstone could work miracles the likes of which have not been seen in this day and age –or even imagined by modern kind. Maybe what we are looking at are not coffins at all; there is the very real possibility that the stone and crystal sarcophagi of Africa and other lands were all used to help with communications, control of the pyramid power-plants, and more. Youth restoration and consciousness transference, immortality and raising the dead, even? Sure. Why not? We’ll just have to test them and find out.
Maybe the people in those stone and crystal sarcophagi were even alive and well right up until something happened to their respective pyramids, or the global pyramids network, temporarily interrupting power to the sarcophagi, at which point the bodies within them began to wither and fade, …and only restoring that power supply will rebuild and restore those bodies… and the great minds they contained. Maybe it was our own modern explorers who, upon opening the pyramids, set off the silent alarms and fail-safes which disabled those power supplies, ensuring those bodies were shut down so that no modern minds could upset or attempt to misuse them. And maybe each sarcophagi was once filled with that same, peculiar, blue-pink liquid found in the sarcophagus in Russia, determined to be keeping the woman in it looking normal and alive until she was removed from it, and each time she was placed back beneath its surface; maybe the mummified corpse remains the public is shown are what happens when those people are removed from the blue-pink liquid that may once have been the normal Earth atmosphere of their ancient people’s time.
I’d like to reverse engineer that blue-pink liquid and re-submerge those mummies (and other remains) in it. I bet they’d spring back to life –or, at least, back to healthy stasis and sleep. Maybe we all would. What would happen if we lied down in one of their stone or crystal sarcophagi… and let that blue-pink liquid pour in? –or if we bathed and swam in it from time to time?
When I go back to Africa in the years ahead, I will ask. And, on that note, I wonder how many other bodies in sarcophagi around the world were found still healthy and youthful, sleeping indefinitely for whatever reason. I wonder how many of them wake up on purpose from time to time, and how many I’ll find in giant underground crystals beneath the sands and jungles of the continent where they say one civilization began. With a little luck, I’ll get to chat with a few of them as fellow scientists and friends.
