THE GEEZEH PYRAMID,
Philosophical Lecture on Its Why's and
Wherefores.

Philosophical Lecture Its Why's and
Wherefores.
The Golden Gate Lodge of the Theosopbi-
cal Society was given a select lecture last
night by l.. p. McCarty on "The Pyramid
Why Built, When Built and by Whom"
Mr.. McCarty holds that the Geezeh or
Ghizeh Pyramid. the oldest of all, was built
10000 years ago by the Lemurians. Its
purpose was 10 perpetuate certain weights
and measures and through them certain oc-
cult sciences He cOnteudcd that the
builders selected the site on account of its
being the exact geographical and astronomi
cal center of the earth. A line drawn from
Alaska across America and Egypt to Aus
tralia and another from Cape Horn across
Europe and Asia to Kamschatka will inter-
sect within fifty miles of the Geezeh site.
This being true the lecturer argued it was
logical to concrde that point wholly free
from commissions of nature.
The measures it was meant to Dernetnat 70
are: The 365e42 days that make the wear,
as is shown by the perimeter of the base:
the exact measurement of Temperature
which at 1S0feet depth in certain shaft

decrease regularly thereffom; the position
of the North star, which about every % GOO
years is in direct line With the road to the
KINGS Chamber, the astronomical center.
