More Pyramids in Arizona

Some of you might have already my article "The Great Pyramids of Arizona."

Here is some more pyramid lore connected with the state.

Charles Debrille Poston is known as the "Father of Arizona." http://home.southwind.net/~crowther/Dibrell/CDP.html
In 1863 he named the Territory of Arizona and obtained the signature of President Lincoln for its authorization. He was also responsible for the Congressional enactment that created the territory and was its first Congressional deligate. In a previous post I have discussed the significance of the name "Ari-zona." http://theorionzone.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html


During a trip to India Poston got involved with the Parsee religion and became one of North America's first Zoroastrians. He even wrote a book called The Sun Worshippers of Asia (1877).

He died in Phoenix (Valley of the Sun) in 1902. His remains rest in a pyramid-shaped monument at the summit of Poston's Butte near Florence, Arizona, where he had once hoped to build a Temple to the Sun.



George Wiley Paul Hunt served seven terms as Arizona's first governor between 1912 (the year of statehood) and 1932. He was a prominent and longstanding Freemason.



He died in Phoenix in 1934. His final resting place in Phoenix’s Papago Park is within sight of an archaeo-astronomical observatory once used by the Hohokam but now called Hole-in-the-Rock. The Hunt’s family mausoleum was constructed in the style of a white-tiled Egyptian pyramid.



The letter "A" as in Arizona is itself a pyramid.
