How to Build Pyramids

“What is the purpose?” — a builder

Many theories. Not a lot of certainty. The mystery that remains over how the pyramids were built, is not unlike the mystery around the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto: many theories, not a lot of certainty.

There is this irrepressible feeling, that resolving a mystery should add value to the experience. But a magic trick rarely thrills us after its mechanics have been revealed. Same of a puzzle, same of a whodunit, and yet we persevere in our desire to resolve the mysteries of our world.

Where there is darkness, we shall bring light. Where there is ignorance, we shall apply sciences. Where there is mystery, we shall apply our minds. So how does one build a pyramid? Same way one builds a blockchain: one block at a time. Taken individually, each block is of little value, but combined, blocks create structures able to withstand the test of time.

We know the mechanics, and yet in both cases, the mystery remains intact. What are we to learn from these building blocks, if not that the heart of their mysteries lays somewhere else? That beyond what those structures are, there is more to learn from what those structures were meant to do. Could we solve mysteries, not by shining light into their dark secrets, but by projecting ourselves into the future worlds they aim to bring forth?

Beyond what things are, beyond their purpose, lays a myriad of possible future scenarios. Out of the many possible ones, we ought to explore the most plausible ones. Out of the many plausible ones, we ought to probe those most likely scenarios. In this blog, we will not dig into the graves of pharaohs, nor we will dig into the internet archives of the P2P foundation.

In this blog, we invite the reader to look at possible, plausible future scenarios. In this blog, we invite the reader to consider that both structures were built to bring forth the same world. That while built using different blocks, both structures were built for the same purpose: to ascend to a world beyond our known universe; to ascend to the metaverse.
