The official account of Caliph al-Ma'mun's discovery of the Pyramid of Cheops has been used to shape the image of the pyramids as tombs for the dead—yet without any corpses inside.
Al-Maqrizi's Al-Khitat (1364–1442 AD) represents the most significant collection of medieval Arab and Coptic traditions regarding the pyramids ever assembled; while it contains no explicit mention of immortal beings, several passages confirm that those who entered the Great Pyramid in ancient times did not find it empty, and that certain bodies discovered within differed from the rest.
The Count of Saint Germain is one of those controversial figures in alchemy and esotericism—alongside Nicolas Flamel and Fulcanelli—who have been described in various places and eras, appearing to belong to the extremely elusive breed of Immortals. Saint Germain has surfaced numerous times throughout history—most recently in 1970—always appearing as a man of about forty-five.
The ideological and spiritual corruption regarding the human body that has infected the Western world in recent decades has reached extreme levels among the elites and their followers. Setting aside the disturbing rumors surrounding the infamous adrenochrome (associated with the likes of Báthory) and the practices at Bohemian Grove, the latest trend is the Burning Man subculture festival, held in the desert between San Francisco and Silicon Valley in the United States. Billionaires linked to major tech companies—such as PayPal founder Peter Thiel—have become the new gods. His followers call themselves "Thielians," in tribute to his commitment to liberation from nation-states. Thiel is also a transhumanist and has dedicated a significant portion of his wealth to research on longevity, genetics, and psychedelics as a means to enhance and transcend normal human capabilities. Thiel founded SENS, a company focused on longevity and immortality, and the Seasteading Institute (with the goal of building floating cities outside national jurisdictions).

Balaji Srinivasan, a Silicon Valley guru who invests heavily in cryptocurrency and genetics, wrote a book titled The Network State. In it, he envisioned tech figures creating their own micronations based on specific principles and values centered entirely on longevity—in short, a community of people aspiring to immortality. Other investors in genetics and longevity research include Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page—through their company Calico, which also supports Elon Musk’s SpaceX missions—and Oracle founder Larry Ellison. Ellison has invested $370 million in longevity research; while a paltry sum compared to his $120 billion net worth, it is nonetheless remarkable for a pursuit that, throughout Earth's history, was considered the exclusive province of the gods. Ellison is so convinced that humanity's future lies in discovering the "Elixir" that he has stated if he could go back to the start of his career, he would dedicate himself to synthetic biology rather than computer science. Another billionaire, the UK’s Richard Branson, invests heavily in genetics labs and space tourism; he has been spotted on Necker Island with "Burning Man" followers, all under the influence of psychedelics.
This is a portrait of the elites which currently run the Western world.
