Napoleon was a courageous and skilled general of France. On the battlefield, he feared no enemy, but one night spent sleeping in the pyramids of Egypt left this brave man terrified. So, what did Napoleon fear? What happened that night?
In 1798, when Egypt was still a British colony, Napoleon led an expeditionary force to the mysterious land to expand France’s territory in East Africa.
Napoleon was curious about the mysteries of the Pharaohs and the pyramids of ancient Egypt.
In 1799, some of Napoleon’s French soldiers discovered the Rosetta Stone during this campaign. This significant archaeological find enabled scholars to decipher the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt for the first time.
Napoleon was intrigued by the mysteries of the Pharaohs and the pyramids of Egypt. He established an Egyptian research academy with many researchers and scholars to combine exploration with archaeological study.
When he arrived in Egypt, he wanted to experience the mystical feelings in the “King’s Chamber” inside the pyramid that he had often heard about. Napoleon decided to spend the night alone there.
The next morning, he emerged with a pale face, looking dazed. When asked by others, he simply shook his head and stated that he did not want to remember or mention anything that happened that night.
Did Napoleon see his future in that room?
Many years later, as Napoleon lay dying, a close friend asked him about what happened inside the King’s Chamber. He just shook his head and said: “No, it’s useless. You will never believe me.” Napoleon took that mystery to his grave.
Many theories have been proposed, suggesting that Napoleon might have seen his future in that room. But all of this remains speculation.
Napoleon was not the only one to experience a night in that mysterious room. In 1930, Paul Brunton, a British journalist, also spent the night there. He recounted his experience in a famous book titled “A Search In Secret Egypt.”
That night, he sat alone in the silent room, with only a candle for light. He witnessed ghosts wandering around. When the ghosts disappeared, he felt his body paralyzed, unable to move. Some people dressed in ceremonial robes resembling priests guided him to a secret room called the Hall of Learning within the pyramid.
Paul Brunton described it as a terrifying experience as if his soul had left his body.
Here, he underwent a terrifying sensation as if his soul had left his body (known as astral projection). He saw his own body lying motionless below while his spirit hovered above.
He was even told stories by the priests about the pyramids and shown evidence of the existence of soul and the afterlife. Then suddenly, he “came back to life“.
The ancient Egyptians believed in the afterlife, holding that the soul existed eternally and that the body must be preserved intact for the soul to remain whole.
Were these the experiences that Napoleon went through?
Scientists have studied the resting place of this room. It is a block of granite, also known as the stone of the soul. They discovered an electric field that could cause a mild shock.
Where Napoleon slept was a granite slab that emitted a mild electric field.
According to Richard Hoagland, a former NASA consultant, they found radioactive sand in a room behind the Queen’s Chamber. This could explain the strange phenomena that Napoleon and others experienced.
Furthermore, the dating results of this radioactive sand indicate that the upper part of the pyramid is 1000 years older than the lower part.
Many theories and debates have arisen. Some speculate that the upper part of the pyramid was built first? Initially, the pyramid was constructed upside down and then, by some advanced technology, it was set into its current position.
The causes of the strange phenomena occurring inside the pyramid remain unexplained. All answers are merely conjectures.
