*  '''Ascension of Isis and Osiris'''
 
In a group of 7, build a model of the Great pyramid using the materials, at the correct date and time in order for the light of the souls of Osiris and Isis to beam out of the southern shaft of the King's chamber that points to Orion (Osiris) and the southern shaft of the Queen's Chamber pointed at the brightest star in the sky, Sirius (Isis).

1. Meditate on Common Altar for your coordinates hint, time and date of build (or range of dates) and sacrificial/pyramid items required.
 
 
2.  Locate others with the same range of times/dates to build; they should also have coordinate hints, that when combined will successfully lead you to a sacred area in which to build your pyramid.
 
 
Suggestion on construction site selection:
 
 
• The sacred areas must all be on the western bank of the Nile River.  The Milky Way represents the field of reeds in the legends which had to be crossed to reach the netherworld, just like the pharaoh had to cross the Nile to go from the land of the living on the eastern bank to the place of the dead on its western bank (where all the pyramids and tombs were located).
 
 
Suggestions on building materials, etc.
 
 
• Use pipe segments (as in aqueducts) or copper pipes for the shafts.  In the Great Pyramid there are four strange and small shafts (20 x 20 cm wide) Both upper chambers have two of them, one going south and one north. All four shafts rise at angles between 36° and 45°, the shafts of the upper King's chamber were each open at both ends, the shafts of the lower Queen's chamber were each closed at both ends.
 
• Use limestone blocks or cut stone for building the pyramids.
 
• Clay lamps for illumination, mirrors to reflect light at the correct angles and/or gems to refract the light.
 
• Paint, gold foil for decoration.
 
 
Points are given based on a group analyzing the information they’ve been given correctly, such as the correct coordinates for building, the correct date and time to build, etc.  One group passes per week as determined by those with the highest number of points.  A group that fails to pass is given the opportunity to salvage their pyramid, with a small loss of materials, and rebuild in a new location, at a different time to increase (or a possibly decrease) in their chances for success.  Should there be a tie, the winning group will be the one that was first to successfully analyze the information given, form their group and correctly complete their pyramid each week.
 
 
Theme of test based very loosely on the 1994 the book The Orion Mystery by Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert

NOTE:

If it turns out that there is more than one Harmony monument, please create it as a subpage of this page; i.e. create a page Monuments/Harmony/OracleName where OracleName is the name of the person leading that monument. If you need help creating a new page, please ask a wikiadmin for help.

Monument of Harmony

A guildhall for the Monument of Harmony project stands at Adn, 1066, 6951 right near the Chariot Stop (and the Worship Monument guild). Enrollment is automatic for any applicant.
