Since ancient times the human being has had a certain concern for creation, becoming some of his art constructions. Whether due to the need for refuge or expression, the truth is that to this day some of the most amazing works ever made have arrived.
When contemplating the pyramids of Egypt that are a wonder of the world, they constitute a monument to the ingenuity and creativity of man; also considering that much of the biblical happenings occurred around them, some ask, why are they not mentioned in the Bible?
The pyramids of Egypt have fascinated humanity since they were built by ingenious and unknown entrepreneurs.
One of the concerns around those monuments is why being so imposing and prominent are not mentioned in the Bible. Even more so since many prominent biblical characters had direct contact with Egypt, they even lived in that familiar and familiar country.
A detailed examination of the biblical writings that relate the stay of those in Egypt, gives as a result that there is no trace of reference to the emblematic monuments of that nation.
Why is this deliberate absence of the pyramids in the Bible?
One reason is that the biblical writers focus on the relevant aspects of their stories, and relate details of what is directly related to the object of their narrations.
There were many places, constructions and prominent figures in biblical times that are not mentioned because they were not directly related to the plan of the author of the Holy Book.
What is relevant in the Bible?
The development of God's Plan to redeem man and the totality of creation, contained in God's promise to Abraham, Genesis 22:18. Everything revolves around the promised Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth; for which reason and for his coming is determined a messianic people, Israel, a messianic family, that of David. Thus, everything that relates or relates to Israel, and to the offspring of David, until the birth of Jesus Christ is relevant in the Old Testament.
Are the pyramids in the Bible irrelevant?
No. They are mute witnesses and principal revelations of the ability, ingenuity and wisdom of God's ultimate creation, man, Psalm 8: 1-9, his image, Genesis 1: 26-27.
They are part of what is known as the "general revelation of God."
David in Psalm 19: 1 states: "The heavens declare the glory of God, and he firmly announces the work of his hands."
Observing the pyramids of Egypt, and evoking what the Bible reveals about man, one can exclaim: "The pyramids tell the" wisdom and intelligence "of man, and his design and construction human ability to create transcendental works.
