The Pyramid Code

I was looking for a documentary about the pyramids on Netflix to show my 4 year old son and this is the only one I could find that didn't have aliens.

The idiotic ideas are matched by the low budget visuals, a mixture of 'independent Egyptologists', Google Earth and After Effects.

I wonder how University of Calgary feel about their name being put on this?

This documentary is a threat for the public health, the first 20 minutes gave me headache and nausea .. Please remove it from everywhere it may stands!

I found this documentary highly interesting, and though there are some holes, and sometimes the 'proof' is negligible, it presents alternative tellings of a history which could open up the way to new and more positive ways of understanding.

i am very disappointed in the other men whose seemed to be particularly annoyed by the assertion the Egyptian was matriarchal... matriarchal societies are not anti male and do now preclude male rulers. I do believe this kind of thinking/fear has been one reason why we are unable to hear and see other possible narratives and interpretations of history.

personally, i would prefer to 'believe' in some of the theories brought up in this series than those which come from men whose sole purpose (whether they are conscious of it or not), is to maintain their power over others. unfortunately most religions do exactly this... and unfortunately much so called scientific theory, historical theory, and like is just a part of maintaining this false power structure.

was glad to see something a little bit different (and this is coming from someone who is disgusted by most 'new-age' nonsense-- Jim

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." - Carl Sagan

This series has lot of the former, none of the latter. It becomes immediately clear that this is another typical Discovery/History series that asks meaningful questions, yet provides virtually meaningless answers. A glance at the cast and their CVs will tell you pretty much all you need to know about what you're going to be seeing and hearing.

"We can't measure it, but I know it's there" is the foundation of so much of this genre, and "The Pyramid Code" doesn't disappoint in this regard. You'll find the usual suspects making the usual statements for which there isn't a shred of evidence - just feelings, assumptions, and speculation, all put forth as absolute truth.

People who think highly of shows like this seem to believe that scientists the world over are afraid of new thoughts and discoveries because they don't want the boat rocked. In reality, scientists *live* to rock the boat. No scientist becomes world-renowned by spouting what everyone else knows. They become world-renowned by coming up with something that nobody else knows. That's where respect, clout, and money come from. The only thing is, that "something that nobody else knows" must be found to be close to the way the world actually works. That's why the fringe ideas put forth by the fringe personalities in this series will never become mainstream. I agree that we need to maintain open minds, but in order to believe that the ideas in this series bear any resemblance to reality, our minds have to be so open that our brains fall out.

What saves this from a score of "1" is the beautiful filming of remote (and some not-so- remote) sites that most of us will never be able to visit.

While I appreciate this documentary might be far fetched for some, It makes a lot of sense to me, having some knowledge on spiritual practices from the Far East. I see the connections all the time in my studies between different cultures (just as they mention in this documentary). "The Pyramid code" was a joy to watch. My only gripe was that it ended too soon.

Think outside the box! The world isn't as plain as it seems!
