An important word about the pictures:The pictures you see below and the copious other pics on associated gallery pages from the NC2 caverns, were taken with a standard high definition camera. We spent hours into weeks analysing every section of them from pixel to maximum size. We viewed them using every colour filter and effects filter and the result is what you see. Our examinations allowed us to publish the views you see with confidence, knowing that although you do not have the benefit of the time we have spent with them, please accept that what we offer is an honest report. In due course it is hoped the authorities will publish a scientific report giving equally copious exact results from within the whole deep system.
But until then, this is the best you are ever going to get !!

GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF NC2 - The Cave of the Birds
The Entrance of Agathodaimon
A FULL REPORT
NC2
In making a best attempt to understand the significance of NC2, this Tomb and cave/cavern system cannot be taken in isolation. It was first renamed by Andrew Collins recently as the Cave of the Birds, and again renamed in line with our own definition of the caverns as:
The Entrance of Agathodaimon.
All we have to go on are the descriptions we brought out of the system with hundreds of detailed photographs, and the observations of previous visitor Andrew Collins; plus the earliest known descriptions of Salt and Caviglia. NC2 is now iron barred and effectively quarantined while the authorities continue undisturbed with their own private excavations since their attention was drawn to its huge importance.
Let us first examine what the cave system has offered so far in hard evidence.
The General Description
The Lower Tomb
The caves/caverns are fronted by the rock cut tomb North Cliff (NC2) which does incorporate some occasional block/brick construction. The Tomb has descending steps, right and left, just inside its entrance. These lead to a corridor aligned with the floor level of the original tomb above, but extending further, and is interrupted by rock cut supporting columns along its length. Right and left of this corridor there are entrances into a series of huge rock cut chambers which at the time of our visit were in the early stages of excavation. These chambers were almost comparative in size to the Kings Chamber of the GP. A few of the immediate ones had been substantially cleared of sand and we were able to make some observations.
.
.
.
Immediately before the first right hand chamber in the corridor floor there is an obvious step-down to sand.
The measurement of the stepped down area belies the possibility of more steps and more likely holds the promise of a shaft to even deeper levels. The left hand chambers were still well blocked with sand which only allowed us to see their equally impressive size over the top of the high mounds at their entrances.
.
.
.
On the right however more clearance had taken place. We found where their walls adjoined the neighbouring chamber; a rough entrance had been hacked through. In the third right hand chamber it was different. The back of the chamber revealed an entrance to a deeper smaller chamber, and off to the left hand side, the wall was broken through at a high level as if to meet into the natural cavern bedrock. Within these chambers, as the photographs show, there is evidence of natural rock-cut work, and evidence of some block construction.
The floor of this chamber was littered with rocks which, coupled with the dust that had been stirred up, made it too hazardous to negotiate without proper equipment. However in the deeper chamber it was clear to see appearing from the gloom, either the huge relief of one or more figure, or even the outline of an actual sarcophagus as we had spotted in the previous chamber. Its lower body description was harder than the obvious shape of its head, which appeared to be that of a life sized crocodile.
We were able to observe what seemed to be wall scratchings or drawings of creatures. We observed many more wall creatures than we show, and this is true for the whole tomb and cavern system. The sarcophigus type items we noted have segmented body sections. At the middle point there is a partial cummerband which holds at its centre a stone icon. Behind the main one, you can see in the photo from the stone pillows there is one item behind another one. We believe they are both solid objects and not simply wall reliefs. It is the one at the rear which has the head of the croc. In front We tried to make sense of the markings on its body.
.
.
.
A worked closeup from another original pic. Other more obscure animal forms were seen, Note the Orb that appeared over the girdle icon. An attempt has been made to outline the most obvious markings on the object at the front. The croc.headed solid object is to the rear and in the original pic it can be seen that the snake etc hanging above - are real, ie. not wall drawings like the ones on the right. You can gain a perspective for the sarcophigus type items from the stone pillows they are both resting on.
.
.
This is the second picture rotated right and zoomed to the centre girdle area. Even from the quality of this pic it is possible to
discern the upright figure is humanoid, like Bes, who represented the household and childbirth. If you study the the area behind the figure, you will see a quadraped of some kind which has conotations to Tawaret as it looks almost like a hippo, and she represented the same things as Bes; - not forgetting also the connection of Sobek's crocodile form, seen often riding the back of the hippo. It is anyones guess from our pic, what the rest of this is made up of. Shapes can be seen, but it is only immediately to the left of the humanoid Bes type object, nestling plain as day from about half its companion's height, a Gold looking figure of some kind. The head is almost lionine and if so the god Nefertem springs to mind as an aspect of Ra. But equally connections can be speculated with others such as in the Mut/ Wadjet/ Bast triad under the cult of Amun. Whichever, this less than perfect picture may supply a scholarly Egyptologist with enough information to make a positive identifiction. We await feedback eagerly!
.
.
The photo was from the level below ground level in the NC2 Tomb. There is no question that these items represent something very important. It is the deepest part of the Tomb so far but there is promise there may be other shaft/s leading deeper still, and maybe making use of the natural fissure system. These have been under excavation for nearly a year since our visit, but the world still awaits the report of an official preliminary scientific assessment.
The Caverns
At the end of the main NC2 Tomb, and from a higher ledge, a cut entrance leads into the natural cave/cavern system. At some long time in the past, this entrance had been blocked shut. Since then the blocks had been broken through to make an entrance again. However there was a heavy clue to the mystery of this whole system in the fact that the rock cut tomb ends and the natural cave/caverns begin, with an entrance frame and lintel shaped also from the rock. This can be clearly observed from inside. Here is the visitor's first introduction to the thousands of snakes in the system. Some are mummified, some are in their positions as they were placed, some are wall scratching and paintings, and some are raised as carvings from the stone. From inside the entrance it is possible to see how two of the lintel stones above the doorway have been carved into snake forms, and just inside to the right, there is a large stone block on the floor which has been carved into a snake in a similar way.
.
.
.
.
.
From a position inside on a threshold slab looking out through the entrance, another huge cut slab can be seen off to the right hand side laying damaged against the wall, but it is clear to speculate this may have once been a closure slab which was used across the inner entrance to block it! Beyond the main entrance and reception chamber the natural cave/cavern system continues. There is still evidence of block/brick construction in some niche areas throughout, and even evidence of where rough walls have been screened with the use of large tile slabs of a few inches thickness such as were seen in the demolished screen from the NC2 tomb chamber two levels below.(previous pic) These are difficult to discern in the caverns because the grime of great age hides them - except where pieces are revealed in collapsed sections.
.
.
.
.
.
The system has straight cavern sections, but generally they follow a slowly sweeping arc beginning with its entrance to the left of the reception chamber and moving more in a right hand direction. From the reception chamber there are side niches/blind caves accessed from the right of the far wall from the main entrance. Within the length of the system there are other similar side niche/blind caves.
In particular at about the half way point along its length one right hand niche entrance has been tidied with rock construction and leads to a mess of fallen rocks in an undetermined side rock-cut corridor. The niche is in the pic below and if you look carefully you can see how rocks have been built up as if to form an entrance. At the side of the built up section on the right you can see more of the red sand-mortar that is used to fill roof splits and suspend pots along with other objects.
.
.
Beyond the side niche entrance there is the undetermined corridor leading perhaps to a deeper tunnel or storage area.
It is similar to the area guarding the tunnel-tube in that at the junction it has a huge deliberate build-up of placed goods, creatures and simulacrum. Even from this view you can determine some of the multitude of shapes/forms signalling a guarded area.
.
.
Where there is a deep central channel in places, it is usually choked with debris as below. It is in one of these, shown later, where a sump is suspected leading to a shaft.
.
.
Immediately upon leaving the reception cavern there are a mass of fallen boulders to negotiate. It is easy to miss the fact that under the boulders the floor appears to have very weathered steps down to another sump.
A guestimate would position this point above the end area of the lower rock cut Tombs and it is easy to speculate that this may conceal a shaft access to them. The Orb appropriately is hovering over the spot.
.
.
In various areas of the caverns there are crudely painted wall depictions of animals and other shapes. The walls are built up from layers of grime, mineral deposits and bat guano, and these wall depictions struggle to appear from layers closest to the natural rock surface. However there was one accurate observation we were able to make. In every case where there was a gathering of snakes, crocs and other creatures, coupled with the wall drawings... the creatures were orientated every time to be looking towards a deeper entrance or niche. This was more evident the deeper we went into the system. The next two pics in the series are paired....
.
.
Just some examples, but there are countless more. Sometimes the real article or a wall depictions or carved from the rock.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
AND THEN WE FOUND 'THIS.' Do you still doubt that these Caverns have an importance for everyone to get excited about?
.

Spotted tucked in a niche high above the cavern. Give your eyes a moment to adjust to the perspective.
.
.
.
.
.
But in the pictogram above there is a whole lot more to decipher!.
.
The niches are stacked with gourds or pots which have also been covered by the layers of time, so much that they blend to the rock in many places. There is no clear air flow except from the flapping of wings of the bat colony which has made its home in the system. There is no obvious living mass on the floor from the guano but the air in the system becomes heavier and heavier with ammonia, until at the end it becomes hard to breathe at all.
.
.
.
Throughout the whole system there are objects scattered everywhere. These include mummification pots for the ample bird mummies, undetermined animals but which apparently include small mummified crocodiles, and thousands of snakes everywhere. The snakes are a wonder to behold. Many can barely be discerned through the mineral build-up, but others are clear enough hung on ledges, lined and hanging in rows, shoved into crevices, or laying around in sentinel positions, and even under foot beneath rocks and boulders. Snakes are depicted on the walls, and there are many snake carvings on the rock surfaces.
In one position close to the end of the main caverns, just as at a point where the caverns also branch to a (small) side system, there is a large simulacrum relief which is ram or snake like, as if on guard. The roof section where this appears has many other carved and actual snakes over the rock surface. The roof cracks either side of this have been filled with a mortar of some kind, which also doubles to hold in place, a number of pots hanging from the walls and ceiling. A number of other undetermined objects have been embedded into this plaster material. The same thing has been done at the other side niche location. These specific points are so heavily decorated and adorned around the snake theme they are arranged almost as a Guardian shrine to deeper parts.
The position of the large simulacrum rock carving is significant because it guards the way to the deepest part of the system, and ultimately the tube-tunnel to the deep plateau. Under the simulacrum, which we believe is more likely a ram or bulls head, there is another obvious snake simulacrum. Lower still there are copious snakes laid out and entwined along the ledges. Up above to the left and right, the ceilig crevices have been filled out with some kind of red sand mortar. Embedded into the morter there are hanging pots, and smaller objects are embedded into the smooth surface of the mortar.
.
.
Simulacrum above which we believe to be a Ram minus the horns which would have been difficult for any stonemason to achieve.
Below it a true snake simulacrum which was one of several similar within the same area.
.
.
Some pots embedded to the mortar alongside the large simulacrum
.
.
.
Look at the next picture and quickly check the next one. On the right hand side of the big stone simulacrum there appears to be a large hanging pot, like a big black boiling pot. At first it is difficult to probe any detail because of the huge build up of dirt and mineral deposits. However with careful study we were able to see how the pot was supported on an outstretched arm in the form of a snake. Moreso, the pot itself was fashioned like a gargoyle type head or face.See this for yourself in the pics. This intricately prepared area was clearly very significant to the protection of the tube-tunnel under the plateau.
.
.
Even to the left of this iconised pot with the snake-form support arm, there is another snake, a narrow necked pot and something else tucked behind it all which is face-like.
.
.
Beyond the large simulacrum, the cave opens out to a large niche to the left. Deep within this niche the rock has been hewn to a sharp edged horizontal lintel. Below this the rock lintel there are constructed bricks down to the floor begging the obvious conclusion that there must be a void or tunnel behind it. Slightly to the left of the same niche there is a similar clear circular cut tube in the rock whose entrance is also bricked up. This niche has the biggest trove of items scattered or laid out. There appeared to be square cut stones and chests, (perhaps sarcophagi,) and many other items, including the protruding head of a goose, (which seemed of gold,) and with a stylised large frog statuette and many other tools etc. (We had seen other apparent geese along the way)
.
.
.
.
.
In several places on the walls, obvious sections of unnatural plaster have broken to the surface and show signs of scratches or markings. If you look very carefully, below the text and behind the markings, you can just see the faded picture of another crocodile.
.
.
We were now in the deepest natural part which did continue, but only via a tube tunnel circa 4 feet circumference through the rock for a distance of perhaps ten to fifteen feet and disappeared naturally to the left; though there was also a branch leading to the right. By natural orientation it was possible to determine that the tube headed at least in the direction of Khafre. Notice presently how the snakes & crocs etc always look towards the direction of deeper finds.
.
.
Within the tube, about one third of the way through it, there are a couple of oddly shaped tablet stones protruding up from the floor, as if plugging a small floor niche or shaft. The walls of the tube near its entrance bear the remnants of plastered sections, which may be as Andrew Collins has suggested, emphasising the effect as if; to use the tube would be to pass through the body of a giant snake. Only one section of the tub-tunnel shows this near its start. The plaster shows signs of great damage perhaps from earthquake, but if the whole of the entrance part of the tube were prepared this way.... (just as the main cavern entrance was prepared with a special reception entrance) then it would have taken more than earth movement or a vastly more remote high water level to have carried the missing sections away. There is no obvious signs of water striation in the tube. Certainly at is farthest end; there are at least two more large carved rock snakes and a crocodile. Below these on the walls there are the outlines of large birds, and opposite, the tube wall has been hollowed back to contain more pots/gourds and other small objects.
.
.
And here is another view using a filter to show more definition.
.
.
This eco system has its own bat colony. There are scorpion beetles. There are camel spiders, and other undetermined spiders and bugs; and there may even be living snakes to feed on the bats. Almost certainly there are many poisonous insects.
Mention must be made of another effect we noted. We made our visit quite spontaneously with no provision for proper equipment beyond camera and small flashlight. Despite the inky darkness, we felt neither danger nor alarm throughout. However we did notice a change in the vibrational nature around us, as if moving into a different vibrational field. This can best be described as like the feeling before an electrical weather storm where the vibrational atmosphere changes. It was not discomforting, and in fact seemed to have the opposite effect the deeper we were, despite the hostile environment. (Our minds flashed back to the legends, of deep areas beneath the plateau which are reputed to be protected by vibrational barriers of some kind.)
Before moving on I wish to state again, though it would have been so easy to have just picked up a few of the apparently valuable things we saw scattered around, we did not disturb nor displace so much as a grain of sand. We came away only with information, and a will to determine its meaning and message.
………………………………………………………………………..
Clues and Determinations
(1) NC2 is a level rock cut Tomb and a rock cut sub level Tomb with perhaps other undetermined accesses and levels. It has a direct connection to the continuing natural cave system.
.
.
.
Notice above, the main entrance broken through the stone-block wall. Notice also top right on the first picture there is a crack. Now take a look at the crack and main entrance from 'inside' the reception cavern in the next pics. On the right hand picture you can notice the two snake stones above the doorway, and on the floor - can you see the snake cut stone just to the left of the entrance as shown previously?
.
.
(2) The rock cut Tomb has an ‘original’ square cut, clear open entrance 6 feet by 4 feet into the deeper natural cavern. This had been blocked with a stone block wall and reopened in recent time.
(3) There was a potential entrance stone designed to seal the entrance from inside.
(4) The system showed clear signs that during an immeasurable time in the past it was striated by the flow of massive water which had to flow somewhere; but in its passage undoubtedly carved pathways deeper underground.
.
.
(5) It is known there are at least three substantial Plateau ground rifts reaching down to an immeasurable depth; one of which is close to the line and direction of the cave/cavern system (& is shown faded red.) The broken lines depict the known deep underground plateau rift (for reference, the stellar information in this pic is not date fixed)
.
.
Speculations
We would have to travel back to the end of the last glacial period to find a time when water levels were as high as the approximate 260 feet above sea level to the entrance of NC2.
Intriguingly the water at even 200ft higher would have made an island of the three pyramids, and correspond with our findings out in the desert of the horse cave and other finds up the sides of escarpments at this same water level. For there to have been a deluge in the caverns as the striation suggests, we would have to travel back in time a lot further than 12.500BP
.
The horse cave referred to, is filled with horse bones alongside human remains. They are trapped high above the ground level away from the now dry valley below. And just for emphasis - the second pic from another of our galleries showing equally high ancient water striation over an escarpment saddle in the desert.
.
.
.
The cave system would have needed the flow of such volumes of water coupled with rainfall to have produced such a substantial cavern system.
In its original form, the cavern system would have naturally been open to the surface along the rough line it takes now. It is reasonable to assume therefore from the rock-cut nature of NC2 and its sub-levels, that the tomb was hewn from the rock - while following the natural course of the then existing cave opening to the system.
It is fair to assume also that the original course of the water would have eroded the rock down through multiple fissures which must have led into the deep Plateau rifts. The Tombs are rock-cut, but there are examples throughout of later block or brick building in sections to improve or segregate useful areas.
Within the remaining natural caverns there is plenty of evidence for early primitive use with ceiling scorching and the wall depictions of animals long extinct from the area.
There is evidence of later sophistication with wall plaster and wall tile sections; and the plastering of the tube entrance leading to much deeper parts of the system. This indicates less the habitable use of the caverns and more their stylised ceremonial use in ancient times.
It is favourable to assume the idea of the tube tunnel at the end of the open caverns as a passage through the belly of a snake to deeper more important parts of the plateau.
At a time when the Tomb was formed out of the natural cavern opening, and where the Tomb construction ended for the natural caverns to continue in their natural state, a wide open entrance was prepared. This suggests the ceremonial use of NC2, not to revere a person, but to revere animal forms with a correlating significance to the deeper caverns through the then prepared and open doorway to the underworld.
We see this as so, in the ground level part of NC2, with special constructed niches to take bird mummies, and then plenty of bird mummies within the first caverns. The possibility remains there was a door stone for use ‘inside’ the cavern entrance, and if so would fit with the final conclusions from this study.
However, just as it is possible to use reverse logic to make assumptions about the construction, it is also possible to do this culturally. We can do a reasonable trace of the iconised influences from the artefacts in the caverns. There are many, and despite theft, plundering and disruption, it should be possible to determine the belief motivations of the people represented by their ceremonial use over time.
Our evidence can only provide the limited means to do this, but a detailed archaeological study would trace a complete history of the tomb and cave system. We look forward to an authoritative and timely report from those working there now.
The partly excavated state of the lower Tomb revealed only a little, but promised much. There was a sarcophagus at the back of one chamber.
There were another two sarcophagi in a deeper chamber. The body of the one at the rear was topped with a life sized crocodile head, and may be a representation of the ancient god Sobek.
Notes
If this report is meant to convey an understanding of the origins and use of the cave/cavern system, or at least a proposal of such, the story must have a beginning, middle and end. Let the description of the cave/caverns be the beginning.
For the rest of the story we must move away from the cave/caverns to find the connections. We take with us however, the scant fragments of tangible evidence observed and then captured in photographs. Perhaps one day, the authorities will allow us to understand the full picture, and allow us the privilege of viewing all the physical evidence from the cave/cavern/tomb complex.
A Summary of the evidence so far:
There are Frog statuettes and Geese, (at least one which appears of gold) with many other bird mummies.
There are various other animal mummies including small crocodiles, antelope types, and multitudes of various snakes.
There are wall depictions which included the Hyena, Antelope, Sea mammals, Potential large lizard types and Snakes.
There are large stone simulacrum reliefs which arguably could be interpreted as either a large Snake, or Ram’s head
There are smaller stone simulacrum reliefs of Snakes and many smaller unidentified items embedded into the ceiling mortar.
There are multitudes of stacked clay funerary pots, some of which have been set to hang from ceiling areas by the use of some kind of sand mortar; plus multitudes of other unidentified stacked or scattered items of various sizes including beads, containers and/or sarcophagi.
There is evidence of elaborate, old wall plaster and tiling, and evidence of later block/brick construction.
Depictions on the walls are revealed through aged layers of grime and mineral deposits.
In the lower level of the tomb below the inner entrance to the caverns there is a life sized sarcophagus type object which appears to have the head of a crocodile.
There is an anomalous tunnel tube-cave leading from the deepest part of the front system and further into the plateau.
The entrance section of this is partially lined with ribbed plaster.
Tracing the Influences
The cave/caverns of NC2 have been iconised with the snake and to another extent, the crocodile. They bear evidence of other influences, but the snake predominates. We must delve into the cultural beliefs and the historical changes in Egypt to find the correlations. The further back we go, the more we enter speculation. If we are to set a time yardstick for investigation, it should be within the period when we know the earth had a stable spin. Pre-catastrophe, the world and its people would have likely been a lot different.
Snake iconology ties to the geometry of the Cosmos, and if there is a sky to ground correlation we have more chance to nail it if we are using precessional/star geometries that are fixed for today and for the time period when the contents of NC2 would have been influenced.
.
.
Before circa 12500 BP the axis of our planet was not consistant. We know in preceding times there were pole shifts and reversals which moved the planet from its original ‘centre axis’ spin.
During the de~glaciation which took place to end the last ice age there is belief that sea levels may have risen to 90m/300ft. above current sea levels before stabilising back to current levels from 13 to 12,000 years ago. This assists in the process to date the use of the cave/cavern system in our current era as it must have been free from water to become useful to the population.
Looking back to ancient times, some say that the stars of Orion’s Belt lined closely with the 3 pyramids on the plateau. The theory gives possible reason to the positions of the Giza Pyramids, but fails to explain why the equally important stars in other geometries do not share an importance on the ground.
Bill Brown addressed this with his Temple Door theory. This showed how the ancient design features of the entire Giza Plateau recorded a knowledge relating to Celestial Precession, and incorporated the micro/macro relationship of the Cosmos with mankind. The concept demonstrates how a moment in time was frozen from the Precessional alignments to yield a Blueprint of star-to-ground geometry. This frozen moment captured the Great Pyramid Temple entrance door aligned to the Lyra Constellation star Vega; …the Temple doorway of Khafre aligned to the Invisible Circumpolar star which was the Heart of Draconis; …and the Temple doorway of Menkaure aligned to the Ursa Minor star Polaris. At the same time the major Star of Ursa Major, Benetnash, fell upon the NC2 location.
This frozen moment clearly defined the 26,000 Great Year Cycle and supported a time period when the roots of modern Egypt may have begun is cycle from an ancient past around 14,500BP.
Beyond 12,500BP it had been a time dominated by the influence and vibration of the Gods. These were leaders who were deified in the minds of the common people. Legend refers back to the time of the (celestial) Primordial Gods, the Ogdoad; from which, knowledge was directly handed down to the people. Such an idea seems coincidental to the fact of fully intact civilisations which emerged from that time, and led to the period of cultural decent into the Ennead demigods.
Many ancient Egyptian cities revered a principal set of eight deities, usually arranged in four male/female pairs.
For example: the Ogdoad of Hermopolis was as follows:
Nu | Naunet (primordial waters)
Amoun | Amaunet (potential for creation)
Kuk | Kauket (infinite darkness)
Huh | Hauhet (vast empty space)
The Ennead were the nine most important gods and goddesses worshipped in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis.
Ra (also Atum), his children. Crowley incorporated Ra into Liber Resh in the dawn adoration of the Sun.
Shu
Tefnut, their children
Nut
Geb
Nebt-het (Gk: Nephthys)
Asar (Gk: Osiris)
Aset (Gk: Isis)
Set
The geometries of the heavens were revered and would become commonly ordered to us in the names of the constellations. In a time when Men/gods first appeared from the stars to lead, they were also soon incorporated into cultural belief, representing the mysterious forces behind water, obscurity, infinity and invisibility. Men were iconised to the symbol of a Frog; which may have been harked back to other legends of first biogenetic experimentation, while women were iconised to the form of the Snake and linked by some back to the original DNA manipulations and producing our leap into reality.
It is interesting that the latest discoveries near Maputo in South Africa have revealed a community of over 200,000 people who worked thousands of gold mines there beyond 160,000 years ago. This ties directly to legend which tells of an advanced people who came from the Stars to use the primitive population of Earth in the mining of gold. They were said to have manipulated our DNA to improve on the calibre of the workforce!
The iconic importance of the snake form was alive even then. If we presuppose a time from around 12,500BP when we were emerging from the changes of a hostile planet, the minds of men would have been much focussed on knowledge of the stars. It was where they believed their ancestry lay.
At 8500BP there was no circumpolar star. Instead, the area of the heavens which pointed to the centre of the Milky Way was encircled by the movement of the constellation Draconis. It was the time of the rising of the thirteenth constellation Ophiuchus, the Serpent bearer. Thuban lay to the horizon of Draco, itself as a serpent – with its head rising to the celestial.
April 26th 8495BP gave the fix to the Geomatrix Blueprint.
.
.
The heart of the Dragon was the centre of the universe. The Milky Way was like a snake of light in the sky, and from records familiar to us today, we know in that far away time, the people were also aware of precessional movement and our path like a snake in its precessional pathway along the plane of the ecliptic.
The snake in its earliest form was known as an omnipotent god presiding over all life above and below its threshold. In this form it was known as an ultimate primeval force in the name of Agathodaimon, presiding over all beneath and above the ground.
The names of the Stellar Gods, The Ogdoad, have names less familiar to us now, but their influence was significant. Through the time period we are referring to there is the grander fix to the snake with Agathodaimon, which literally translates as the good spirit, but is iconised in cosmic form as a giant snake. But its link to primordial times is reinforced through the one who was said to predate the Ogdoad.
Through the triple identity of Hermes, beget of Thoth, (synonymous with Agathodaimon,) - the decent from god-to god/man-to common man, was prescribed.
Fromhttp://www.alchemylab.com/hyper_history.htm : If we follow the strict genealogical order in the Egyptian texts, Hermes is the son of the Agathodaimon, the great Thoth, who is the Egyptian god of all learning and hidden knowledge.
From the Ogdoad we also have Amun who was also iconised in the form of a snake; embodying renewal through the shedding of its skin. Amun was self creating as was Atum of the later Ennead.
Amun was iconised also by the Goose, which carries the egg of life, (and like an aspect of Ophiuchus) as a sign of fertility, was shown as the Ram, and later with the head of a Frog.
Amun would retain his primordial status through his modified name as Amun-Re. Atum, the creator of the universe, told of the time of world destruction and his survival as a serpent.
Another significant Ogdoad link is through Kek and Kauket, who presided over Darkness and obscurity. In fact their role seems to have been to oversee the sunrise and sunset, and would not have been far from the projection of Agathodaimon: Their role in control of the forces which saw the emergence of day from night, linked to the later Demi-gods who continued their control of the life force of the Nile and of the passage of souls through the Duat. It was Budge who recognised the clear link from Kek to Sobek, son of Neith, a primordial Goddess of creation.
The influence of Sobek is well known, but the spread of his influence may be less appreciated.
The crocodile God Sobek's Temples flourished around Al Fayoum. Some still remain. In fact the town Arsinoe was known to the Greeks as Crocodiliopolis. At some Temples, sacred crocodiles were tended with prime meat and became quite tame. Their carcases were mummified and buried in special animal cemeteries.
Sobek also came to symbolise the produce and fertility of the Nile and so his status became more ambiguous. The crocodile's ferocity, power and strength made it a perfect patron for the Army. Others regarded Sobek as a repairer of evil, rather than a power for good; and therefore more likely to go to the Duat to restore damage done to the dead. He would have made a good companion to Sokar the falcon-headed god of darkness, death and necropolises.
He was also said to call upon other Gods and Goddesses to protect people in particular situations, effectively having a more distant role nudging things along, rather than taking an active part. In this way Sobek was seen more as a primal God, eventually becoming regarded as an avatar of the primal God Amun, who at the time was considered the chief God. When his identity finally merged, Amun himself had become merged with Ra to become Amun-Ra; so Sobek, as an avatar of Amun-Ra was known as Sobek-Ra: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sobek

There were other allusions to Sobek in the history of Egypt. The crocodile’s importance was assured by the use of its fat for anointment. The Egyptian ceremonial title, Moshe, means "he who is anointed with crocodile fat from the NileRiver." In Hebrew it meant "out from the water", in reference to the crocodiles. The Egyptian word for crocodile fat was Messeh from which the term Messiah is derived. To be anointed with crocodile fat rendered into an oil, was to absorb powerful, unchanging Reptilian energy and assimilate this into the body. Moshe, or Moses, was a ritual title, not a persons name and was a reference to the crocodile fat used in temple and pyramid ceremonies, in anointment of the Pharaoh.:http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sumer_anunnaki/reptiles/reptiles17b.htm
We return finally to the image of the snake and can note its iconised appearance in many other historical settings.
From Greece, around 8000BP at Thessaly the Vinca bowls were found with their cosmic snake decorations.
Among the earliest representations of the cosmos are the "Vinca" bowls which represent the heavens in the form of an ecliptic snake which coils its way to the polar axis. These bowls, some with coiled clay snakes, date to the end of the sixth millennium BC. link.. http://www.daimonas.com/pages/snake-worship.html
The snake appeared in Mycenaean Cults around 3550/3150BP, and as a Goddess at Knossos, circa 2150BP.
In modern times the snake was lost in religious confusion when Hasatan (adversary) was absorbed to the name Satan, as a ruler of the material world and was interpreted in the Christian Book of Revelation as a Snake and Dragon. There are many more connotations.
Conclusions
We can see from this inexhaustible supply of sources there are major influences which would have been carried through the cultures of Egypt from 12500BP to the recent past. However it is easy to select a few which had the most influence and which strike lucky for the scant evidence we obtained from the caverns of NC2. Ancient legend tells of an underworld in Egypt which blossoms in our period of history through its adoption to the concept of the clearing house for souls; (The Duat.)
However long before such things were thought of, the underground system beneath the Giza Plateau existed as a series of deep natural fissures in the Earth crust which potentially reach to vast depths. These were scoured by the wash of high seas and rain, following glacial melt.
At a time of different Precession, peoples would have faced their own time of catastrophe. Legend has it that in those very ancient times, the people were more advanced than we can imagine. If true, it is conceivable they turned to the natural formations below ground to enlarge for widespread use as a safer habitat in a time of dire need.
Through the ensuing fall and rise again of civilisation it is also conceivable that these natural living subterranean systems were incorporated into cultural lore and used simply as a convenient opportunity to create more surface- visible temples, tombs, or living quarters. The NC2 system certainly bears this out.
However such is the power of cultural belief, that the original memories of their Stellar/godly origins would have been maintained in reverence, especially if the legends are true and ancient ancestors did in fact store the sum of their advanced knowledge and technology for perpetuity in a deep Giza repository.
The embodiment of all these sources in the form of Agathodaimon, protecting the concealed essence of their original source and knowledge - would have been well reverered by the offerings of countless snakes over the ages. The sheer volume of actual snakes or iconised snakes in the cavern system suggests its use over a huge time for the gathering of these creatures; or perhaps during the height of reverence for the snake, the people positively sought snakes to sacrifice and store in the caverns. All the other icons can be traced to associated reverences for primordal gods or demi gods who shared the ethos of protection, deliverence or evolution from the underworld. It seems in comparatively more recent historical times the caves were utilised as a mortuary store for birds.
You will have seen through this account where I have highlighted the references that link to the items observed in the caverns. All of these in some way demonstrate a clear opportunity for successive users of the system near the surface to maintain their reverence for a very important secret below ground. The items observed correlate easily to the goose, ram, snake, frog, crocodile, Duat, Agathodaimon, Sobek, Sokar etc etc.? The evidence in the caverns points back to a very early time and has been maintained since, in complete deference to the snake in particular but closely also to the crocodile and other creatures.
The snake occurs in the caverns in guardianship to the underworld entrance. This snake connection surely survives the later snake/dragon confusions and still emerges as a representation of Agathodaimon, the supreme guardian of the Under~World.
Above ground we now have the fix of Bill Brown’s rediscovered Geomatrix Blueprint. Its Star-to-ground correlations with the constellations continue to pick off direct hits, with stellar hot spots on the ground highlighting important Temples, doorways and the entrances of Agathodaimon to the underworld of old.
At the turn of the tail of Draco, where the activity of the dig in the village took place, an underground connection tunnel even runs true to the line of the tail all the way up to the pyramids. It is known but unexplored, as it lies in the water table below the lowest level of the waning annual Nile floods.
Earlier there was the suggestion of a possible closure slab for the entrance to the caverns from inside. We observed inside the caverns, evidence for possible link-shafts to the cut Tomb below. If so, the existence of an inner door slab becomes more reasonable. When the Tomb was formed it would have been convenient to have had such an inner closure arrangement to the caverns. Escape would have been gained from the link tunnels connecting deeper to a more obscure part of the lower NC2 Tomb complex; probably using earlier water fissures anyway. The importance of Agathodaimon's entrance would then remain sealed until access was needed by the priests.
The system was used to its full cavernous extent through our known history. It ends and disappears via the partially plastered narrow tube-tunnel into the depths of the Plateau. Perhaps as suggested elsewhere by Andrew Collins, for an initiate, this was intended to convey the impression of passing through the body and guardianship of Agathodaimon into the awaiting Underworld.
We believe this to be the case. We believe the influences from all the references we have highlighted are appropriately represented by items we recorded. We believe this entrance is one of the entrances of Agathodaimon to the ancient Plateau underground system. We belive that system was a product first of natural water erosion forces coupled with later working of their entrance ways - and deeper. If natural planetary catastrophe was faced, (as we know it was,) what could have been more natural than for highly skilled people to have used the enlarged system for their own protection against the elements. Later, the deepest parts of the system would have been useful only as a storehouse for things most valuable, while the surface entrances would have been ideal for enlargement as tombs etc. We are aware, and have evidence not yet presented, of other concealed or disguised entrances.
We further believe that from within the system, evidence will be confirmed from the walls which will completely validate their human use in a vastly more ancient and primitive time. We believe that deep exploration of the system will eventually validate its use as a way into the undiscovered storehouses of our true ancestors and their time capsule of an ancient forgotten technology.
We know there is a movement to dispel any notion for intelligent highly advanced ancestors. We know there is a movement dispel the notion of highly intelligent people even before 8000BP. The official stance on this is almost manic, despite the mountain of world evidence to the contrary. For this reason and other lessons of experience, we are fearful that the hugely important content of this cavern system is being held, for the world in blind trust, by those who are working there now behind Iron Gates and Steel Padlocks.
Will we ever know for sure? …The answer is held tight and exclusively in the hands of the Egyptian authorities.

I have since corresponded with Andrew Collins and I accept his clarification regarding the naming of the NC2 tomb.
Andrew reminded us he did not rename the tomb NC2. In his words: 'When we named it “Tomb of the Birds”, there was nothing anywhere in the world published, or in the public domain, regarding the tomb, other than Vyse’s report of finding a large bird mummy in there and the legend from Perring two plans of the plateau alluding to the site being “excavated tombs and pits of bird mummies”, hence our own name. Only after the story of the caves broke in July 2009 did someone go through the unpublished papers of George Reisner’s team and find that they had made a rough diagram of the tomb c. 1939-40 and designated it NC (north cliff)'
We are grateful to be able to record this correctly now. We accept also that the name we prefer does have a something of a grander ring to it, but in truth, the research trail we followed led us to the good spirit of Agathodaimon and it seemed a natural progression to attribute the caverns as the entrance of Agathodaimon. In fairness also, we feel despite passionate oppositions in other areas recorded distinctly on both our sites, we must acknowledge the good contribution of Andrew Collins to the debate and the very necessary public awareness for this extremely important tomb and cavern/tunnel system.

PPS.
I corresponded with our colleague Bill Brown following the report and he picked up on the very theme which lies hidden as an underlying message to the whole history of this system. Though Bill is unaware I am doing this, I hope he will approve me publishing his reply here in full.
My feeling was captured by the energy of the vibrational aspects of many images you sketched to help identify to the public. While many may not see the image and dismiss it as illusionary in the mind of the writer, something more can and will come of it if people begin to understand the deeper meaning behind it all.
......................................
From Bill Brown:
We are the 'student' thru self discovery and thus so, it is the lesson of others to choose the same purpose.
Leave it to the 'teachers' who think they know it all !!!
In the challenging picture (above) where you question the presence of something, I most certainly saw the ....face of Khunm with horns! I had seen him before, and so this-appearance was a jog for my memory!
These types of vibrational creatures of the 'dimensional' realm may be seen only by the 'initiate' who has mastered beyond the 'illusion' of our own 3D world. That is the purpose of the website!
The truth I feel behind your message is that once long ago, mankind became trapped in his own world of 'illusion' believing in gods of Supernormal abilities that they, the common people themselves ....had lost.
Thru the Ages, im~mortals of greater gifts took on idiolization, 'feeding' upon this illusion of greatness - creating continuos catostrophic events to 'humble' the people into submission.
Perhaps, these images are simply for a 'record' of this purpose?
Scientific consciousness and common belief systems have ultimately led in our time to mankind believing 'they' are the only life force in our galaxy, and that 'they' are/were... gods.
For our most Ancient true ancestors, simply because 'they' came from somewhere not here, does not make them gods!
Perhaps we became humble to this type higher intellegence by misunderstanding when they are simply here to help us get back there to them !
Your embedded images appear to me to be frozen images like thought forms left behind from these belief systems - simply to allow others in later periods to see behind them to the true secret of far greater wisdom.
Writing and the Sciences were invented by the sons of these 'gods' and branded to posterity by the one name:Thoth. Multitudes of contrived Languages created confusion among people, wherein - number and symbol carried the real truth and hid the secrets of life and the lessons for humans to discover again !
Yes, the sons of these lesser gods ultimately took power over the people giving humankind the forced choice of language ...........or the suppressed choice of symbol and number!
The turning point of record or no return, at least for our decisive cycle; or perhaps it was the event of our greatest cosmic catastrophe, occured on April 26, 4493 BC.
The Sping Equinox separated the outgoing influences of the Gemini Twins and urshered in the Age of Taurus creating the world of Egypt as we know it today.
But, what of the old world? How was it so different?
The Death of the Twin marked the beginning of self expression engulfed in Ego; rather than the higher aspect - as its other twin~self.
IT became.... I AM IT!
Human egos formed as a result of this 'NEW-Constellation-AGE' way of thinking... simply because mankind made the tragic decision. Mankind chose to accept abuse as a gift from their perceived gods so they could hold themselves as the Highest/Greatest Cosmic Life Form. In doing so, the stage was set for submission to negative thoughts, words, actions, and egotistical feelings all in the name of the Law.
Our density (3D reality) as an aspect of discordant vibration, with self proclaimed gods inventing Religion, led to mankind becoming trapped within the lowest vibration as a lost consciousness - separated in time from the ancient sacred way of a higher knowledge.
Our actions and the result formed a temporary alternative reality which justified our fallen existence!
Pro-creation became the method of the gods to sustain or justify itself for the purpose of giving live to itself;...the eternal use of power to keep feeding the program!
'Ego' dominated life for reasons of gratification to the physical senses.
Ego became the program and purpose for existence in order to justify im-mortal objectives, using lying, cheating, stealing and killing as methods to maintain the control of this lower level of life itself !
As a temporary program it does have a terminal limitation which is called human. We dwell on a level which demands a cycle of birth to decay, and for the programme - it cannot travel beyond the cycle. If it did, it would self-destruct because higher dimensional reality beyond it would expose its 3D limitation and illusion.
The Taurus program was retrograded to loop into another reality when the Pisces Intelligence entered the picture. Emotional shift to compassion will soon find its purpose and another much greater influence.... the Age of Aquarius. What comes of compassion is the next human generational experience !!
