Egypt – The Temple of Beit el-Wali
An eerie, blood-red glow shimmered and danced on the stone walls of the two-pillared transverse antechamber of the Egyptian temple of Beit el-Wali. A perfect sphere exactly seven feet in diameter hovered silently two feet above the sand-covered stone floor. Just to the right of the perfectly round bubble and through another door was the temple sanctuary with a niche in its rear wall for a statue. In front of the bubble and to its right was the door to this temple, followed by the outside courtyard and, finally, the main entrance. Built by Ramesses II somewhere around 1279 B.C. to commemorate his victories in Syria and Nubia and located approximately three miles south of the Tropic of Cancer, this temple, whose title means “the House of the Holy Man,” was the perfect place for a seven-foot, spherical red bubble. Its appearance elicited no fear nor any awe, since no one was there to see it. It lasted no more than 15 seconds and then began changing color from red to yellow, then green, into blue and finally violet before disappearing altogether as its frequency went beyond that of the visible part of the electro-magnetic spectrum.
After disappearing, no evidence of its existence remained. No mark or disturbance appeared on either the walls or floor of the temple. The sphere had created no heat or cold; therefore, no indications or changes in texture of the surrounding structure were apparent. The air didn’t move. It was as if nothing had ever been there. Any bugs or flying insects that might have flown or crawled into the exact area where the bubble had temporarily stood would have found themselves in the bubble, but at the same time outside of it. Their existence would not have been altered in the least; although, had they the ability to think and reason, they could have pondered the unusual and seemingly impossible situation in which they had been. Moreover, although having been in this situation, they nevertheless would have been unaffected in every way by it. The only proof of its existence would have been in their minds.
On the other hand, if Ramesses II or any of his entourage had seen this bizarre and intriguing sphere, they most likely would have attributed its existence to the gods. They would have called on their magic-practicing priests and sorcerers to explain its mystical meaning. They might even have demanded that its re-appearance be duplicated as proof of their abilities as sorcerers. Talk of “The Sphere God” would have raced across Egypt like wildfire. Sphere statues and images would have appeared throughout the whole of Egypt. The sphere would have been revered as the “perfect” god because of its mathematical and physical properties, one of which is the sphere’s perfectly equal pressure that is exhibited from within in all directions to its outer surface. Yet, that never happened. No one was there, no one saw its appearance and no one had any inkling that anything unusual had ever occurred in the two pillared antechamber of the temple of Beit el-Wali.
