A Spiritual Journey to Egypt: Exploring the History and Spiritual Energy of the Pyramids
A thousand dreams can't compare to taking the first step
The Egyptian pyramids are not only a wonder of the ancient world, but also a gathering place for spiritual energy. On the second day of our journey, our tour guide picked us up early in the morning and we started from the Bent Pyramid in Shur and explored all the way to the Step Pyramid in Saqqara.
Each pyramid carries the ancient Egyptians' pursuit of eternity and spiritual wisdom. This trip not only allowed me to witness the magnificence of these magnificent buildings, but also allowed me to deeply feel the flow of spiritual energy.
Pyramids of Dahshur and Saqqara
Today is a day I have been looking forward to, we finally get to see the pyramids! Start in Dahshur, home to Egypt's oldest pyramids, and continue to the Saqqara district.
As the car drove through the endless desert and looked at the pyramids in the mist in the distance, I gradually began to feel the ancient Egyptians' pursuit of eternity and the flow of spiritual energy.
Let's start with a simple science:
The Bent Pyramid and the Step Pyramid are two important milestones in the development of ancient Egyptian pyramid architecture, witnessing the evolution from early tombs to perfect pyramids.
Step Pyramid: The Birth of the First Pyramid
Built around 2630 BC, the Pyramid of Djoser in Saqqara is the first true pyramid in ancient Egypt and was designed by the famous architect Imhotep. It evolved from the original rectangular tomb, the Mastaba, gradually stacking up to form six steps, symbolizing the pharaoh’s staircase to the divine realm.
Bent Pyramid: Exploring the transitional phases of the smooth pyramid
Around 2600 BC, Sneferu, the pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt , built the Bent Pyramid at Dahshur . The pyramid was originally designed to be at a high and steep angle, but during the construction process, the architects discovered that the structure was unstable, causing the angle of the upper part to be lowered, forming a unique "curved" shape.
Visually, the upper part of the pyramid is more inclined. This pyramid is considered to be a transitional stage in pyramid construction technology and a key experimental stage in the evolution into a "true" pyramid .
Red Pyramid: The first truly smooth pyramid in history
After the Bent Pyramid, Sneferu built the Red Pyramid , the first truly smooth pyramid in history, laying the foundation for the later Great Pyramid of Giza .
Climb inside the pyramid
Our tour guide was very professional. He knew that the Giza Pyramids would be crowded and require a fee (which was really not cheap~), so he wisely took us to climb the Bent Pyramid of Dahshur. Not only is there a small crowd here, but you can also enter the Step Pyramid for free, allowing us to more deeply experience the spiritual energy of ancient Egypt.
The internal passage of the Bent Pyramid is narrow and deep, as if leading us through time and space, back to the glorious era of ancient Egypt.
The passage leading inside is very narrow and can only accommodate one person. We also bent down with a hint of humility in our hearts to feel the wisdom and ingenuity of ancient Egypt. Fortunately, there are wooden ladders to help with such a steep passage. However, how did the ancient Egyptians climb into this magnificent pyramid step by step thousands of years ago?
The ground near the Dahshur Pyramid is full of white limestone. According to the tour guide, these white stones once covered the surface of the pyramids, making them sparkle in the sun.
Wandering in the thousand-year-old ruins and learning about the ancient civilization, I can't help but sigh that time passes, but human wisdom transcends time and space and goes further than we can imagine.
Ramses II of Memphis: Fateful Encounter
I came to the Memphis Museum , and when I walked into the museum, the scene in front of me made me hold my breath - the reclining statue of Ramses II . The statue was excavated in Memphis, Egypt in the 19th century and was found to be broken, especially with the legs missing, which made it impossible to stand upright like other complete pharaoh statues.
This nearly 10-meter-long statue , although incomplete due to the erosion of time, still exudes the majesty of a king. Standing in front of this huge statue, I seemed to travel through time and space, and felt the strong will and fearless spirit of this greatest pharaoh of ancient Egypt, who once ruled for decades.
The size of the bronze statue is unimaginable. The tour guide deliberately stretched out his hand to compare with the bronze statue, but his hand seemed insignificant in front of this behemoth, like an ant compared to a giant, which further highlighted the extraordinary momentum of Ramses II. （ If this bronze statue was not built to an enlarged scale, then the ancient Egyptians might really be a race of giants! 😂)
After the museum tour, we strolled around the market in front of the museum. After the museum tour, we were strolling in the market in front of the museum. At that moment, fate happened - my eyes were deeply attracted by a necklace that looked like it was unearthed by archaeologists, as if it was waiting to meet me again.
An Archaeological Necklace, Love at First Sight
Its metal surface has an antique texture, as if it had just been unearthed from an archaeological site, as if recording secrets from thousands of years ago. I don't know why, but at one glance I knew it belonged to me. This is not just a simple shopping impulse, but a kind of " love at first sight " from the depths of my soul, as if it is waiting for me to take it home.
After returning to Taiwan, I didn’t have many opportunities to wear this necklace. It was always quietly placed in my jewelry box, reminding me of my journey in Egypt and my connection with this ancient land.
It was at that moment that I became more determined to establish Alchemy & Energy - to enable every woman to find jewelry that resonates with her soul and experience the magic of "love at first sight".
Alchemy & Energy: Let the Soul Choose Jewelry
A trip to Egypt is not just a journey, but a spiritual awakening. Ramses II symbolizes the king's aura and fearless spirit . He built countless magnificent temples and left behind countless glorious histories. And that archaeological-style necklace made me realize that jewelry is not just a decoration, but a carrier of frequency resonance.
Every piece of Alchemy & Energy is designed to make the wearer fall in love at first sight, because that is not accidental, but the choice of the soul. When you see a piece of jewelry, especially crystal, and feel a strong resonance in your heart, that is what it is calling you.
Inspiration from travel
This trip to Egypt not only allowed me to witness the greatness of ancient civilization, but also made me deeply feel the power of spiritual energy. Standing in front of the pyramids, I felt the passage of time and the power of eternity; on the banks of the Nile, I felt the flow of life and spiritual inspiration. I can't help but wonder if Cleopatra and Pharaoh thousands of years ago were also standing in the same spot beside the Nile, thinking about their future.
