FYI:

Ray says he cannot at this time spend the weeks it would take to explain all this and asked that I remove

SHEPHERD-PROPHETS
Consider these facts. The Pyramid was built in Egypt, notorious for its idolatry and polytheism. Yet Pharaoh Cheops became "arrogant towards the gods" during his reign and shut up the temples, cast out the images, and compelled even the priests to labor in the quarries. Herodotus says that the Pyramid was thirty years in building, the first ten years building prepatory works, with crews of 100,000 working on three-month shifts, and that after this thirty year period Cheops reverted to worship of the Egyptian gods. What strange power could cause such a radical thirty year break in the polytheistic habits of the Egyptians?

Herodotus extensively interviewed an Egyptian priest about the building of the pyramid and he attested that a noted stranger abode in Egypt at the time of Cheops, a shepherd, to whom rather than to Cheops the Egyptians attribute this edifice. The Egyptians call him "Philition" or "Philitis." Josephus also quotes Manetho, an Egyptian priest and scribe, who says there was a period in the Egyptian past when, by peaceable means, some "shepherd kings" had the Egyptian rulers "in their hands." Manetho said that some say they were Arabs. Seiss, with characteristically sound scholarship and reasoning, makes a case that the biblical Job was the Arabian who directed the Pharaoh in the building of the Great Pyramid. Seiss points out that the image of a pyramid is "unquestionably" the subject when God addresses Job out of the whirlwind in Job 38:

"Then the LORD answered Job from the storm. He said: 2 "Who is this that makes my purpose unclear by saying things that are not true? 3 Be strong like a man! I will ask you questions, and you must answer me. 4 Where were you when I made the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. 5 Who marked off how big it should be? Surely you know! Who stretched a ruler across it? 6 What were the earth's foundations set on, or who put its cornerstone in place 7 while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted with joy?"

Seiss says that since YHWH's object is to convince Job of his incompetency to judge of and understand Him, it is as if the Almighty is saying: You laid the foundations of the great structure in Egypt, but where were you when I laid the foundations of the far greater pyramid of the earth? You laid the measures of the pyramid in Egypt, but who laid the measures of the earth, and stretched the line upon it? You fastened down in sockets the foundations of the pyramid in Egypt, {the Great Pyramid is built on four sockets} but whereupon are the foundations of the earth fastened? You laid the pyramid's completing capstone amid songs and jubilations, but who laid the capstone of the earth when the celestial morning angels sand together, and all the heavenly sons of God shouted for joy?

Abraham was also a shepherd, like Job, wealthy with flocks and herds. How is it that he was brought to the attention of the pharaoh of Egypt and the King of Gerar in his travels? Was it simply that Sarah, his wife, was so pretty? The Jewish records say that Abraham was learned in the science of astrology and with his elaborate knowledge of the heavens and their meanings he attracted the attention of these kings. We know from the biblical record that God communicated with the shepherd Abraham many times, several times using the "stars" as a teaching vehicle. YHWH Himself directed Abraham's eyes toward the heavens, indirectly corroborating the Jewish oral tradition that says Abraham was a gifted astrologer:

Gen 15:5 "And he brought him forth abroad, and said, 'Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them': and he said unto him, 'So shall thy seed be.'"

That the Pyramid was directed by shepherds guided by Divine wisdom. Such faith offers a sufficient explanation of what would otherwise be the dilemma posed by the advanced knowledge and technology exhibited by the Pyramid. It is with those who do not accept the Divine authorship of the Pyramid with whom the burden rests for a better explanation.

My head just exploded for real.

Revilonivek:
I have read something similar what Kat shared with on other websites as well. It is possible  and maybe that Job was Khufu but you have to admit that the evidence were vague as well in the bible and in history books.   Why didn't the bible use his actual name? Why didn't the bible say he was a pharoah? why not just say that? and even better, say he was a phoraoh of egypt? They were clear with Joseph. Why not Job?  it was clear that Khufu's family line and his parents were pharoahs and queens. He is a egyptian.  Khufu was the second pharaoh of the fourth dynasty.  Khufu had 24 children in total. 9 sons, 15 daughters. Bible said he had 20 children in total, 10 died, 10 surivived.  Did you know Belief in the sun God, Ra went on since the 2nd dynasty.  He worshipped the Sun god, Ra. Which means creator or creative-power.

Why did he build the pyramids? Why did his children build the pyramids if they believed in the One God of the Jews? You know how in the old testament, The jews hated anything that indicates idolatry or graven images. they would go to great extent to destroy it. Khufu didn't, his sons didn't. they went on to build more.

 much later, Ra was identified with atum, they believe Ra is the originator of all gods. In later dynatises, he was identified with Horus and so on. They believe all forms of life were created by Ra.

To the egyptians, the sun represented light, warmth, and growth. This made  the sun deity very important as the sun was seen as the ruler of all that he created. Of course they believed in one God once before believing in gods with their  later egyptian dynasties.

Again, it is possible that Job was khufu. It's a thought.

I have learned to put some things on a mental shelf, and sometimes God will shed more light over time.
