Join Grandmaster Timothy W. Hogan and Patricia Awyan Lehman on a sacred journey through Ancient Egypt—where the wisdom of the Pharaohs, the mysteries of the Templars, and the echoes of Atlantis converge. Walk beneath the gaze of the Sphinx, stand within the Great Pyramid, and enter sanctuaries long sealed by time. This is a pilgrimage for seekers called to awaken the ancient light within, to remember the lineage of the Ark of the Covenant, and to walk the timeless path of initiation.
You will explore legendary temples, descend into royal tombs, wander the colossal halls of Karnak, sail to sacred islands, and witness the treasures of the new Grand Egyptian Museum—all guided by two wisdom keepers who illuminate the deeper meanings encoded in these ancient sites.
If Egypt has been calling to your spirit, this is your invitation to answer through a once-in-a-lifetime journey into the heart of its timeless legacy.
“May the eternal flame guide your steps.”
Together, these iconic sites create a journey that bridges the history, myth, and mystery of the Lost Arks, inviting you into the heart of ancient Egypt in a way few travelers ever experience.
Walk upon the timeless Giza Plateau, where the Great Pyramid still towers as the last Wonder of the Ancient World. Step into history with exclusive private access between the paws of the Sphinx, a privilege granted to very few.
Descend into the shadowed passages of Saqqara, home to the Step Pyramid of Djoser and the mystical Unas Pyramid. Explore the vast underground Serapeum, where colossal granite sarcophagi rest in silence, echoing with ancient power. Then, step into the remarkable Sound Healing Hospital, an ancient chamber built with extraordinary acoustics, where resonance and vibration once played a role in healing and initiation.
At ancient Egypt’s most mystical site, uncover sacred reliefs — including the famed Flower of Life located in the Osirian. With special 2 hr. private permission, descend into the enigmatic Osirian, long associated with the Ark mysteries.
Gaze upon the celestial Dendera Zodiac, discover stargates and the mystery of the melted stairs. Dedicated to Hathor, the goddess of love, joy, music, dance, fertility, beauty, and the stars. She is often depicted as a woman with the horns of a cow cradling the solar disk, symbolizing her role as the celestial mother who carries the sun across the heavens.
Step into one of Egypt’s oldest Christian sanctuaries, suspended above Roman ruins. The Hanging Church reveals the deep spiritual lineage of Cairo and its enduring faith.
Journey by boat to the sacred island of Philae, where the elegant Temple of Isis rises from the Nile. A sanctuary of devotion and beauty, this temple reflects Egypt’s eternal spirit.
Experience the world’s greatest collection of Egyptian treasures, from colossal statues to Tutankhamun’s golden artifacts. This modern masterpiece brings the ancient world vividly to life.
Connected in antiquity by the Avenue of the Sphinxes, Karnak and Luxor formed the spiritual heart of ancient Thebes. At Karnak, you will wander through the awe-inspiring Hypostyle Hall, stand before colossal statues, and visit the Sacred Lake once used in priestly rituals. At Luxor, especially enchanting at twilight, you’ll explore its grand colonnades and inner sanctuaries, a temple dedicated not to gods of the afterlife but to the renewal of kingship and divine power. Together, these temples reveal the eternal union of heaven and earth.
Behold the immense unfinished obelisk, still embedded in bedrock. Its scale and precision raise enduring questions about the lost technologies of Egypt’s master builders.
Journey along the Nile to two of Egypt’s most captivating sanctuaries. At Edfu, step inside the best-preserved temple in all of Egypt, dedicated to Horus the falcon god, where towering pylons and richly carved walls bring myth and ritual vividly to life. At Kom Ombo, explore the unique double temple, honoring both Horus and Sobek, the crocodile god. With its twin sanctuaries, medical carvings, and sacred crocodile mummies, Kom Ombo offers a rare glimpse into the duality of Egyptian belief.
Enter the legendary Valley of the Kings, where over sixty tombs were carved into the limestone cliffs to house the pharaohs of the New Kingdom. Here you may encounter the celebrated tomb of Tutankhamun, whose excavated golden treasures astonished the modern world; the vast and intricate tomb of Seti I; the richly decorated chambers of Ramses II, Ramses III, and Ramses VI; and many others whose walls are alive with colorful hieroglyphs.
Step into tombs where vivid colors still dance across the walls after more than 3,000 years. Unlike the grandeur of the pharaohs, the Valley of the Nobles offers an intimate glimpse into daily life, beliefs, and afterlife journeys of Egypt’s elite, painted in exquisite detail.
