The construction of the Egyptian pyramids has long fascinated historians, engineers, and spiritual seekers alike. While mainstream archaeology attributes these monumental structures to skilled labor and stone tools, the Seth Material—a series of spiritual teachings said to be received by Jane Roberts in the 1960s and 70s through a trance-like state—offers a radically different explanation. According to the Seth Material, the pyramids were not built through physical exertion alone, but by employing a forgotten mastery of “inner sound” and consciousness to manipulate matter. The Seth Material suggests that ancient Egyptians understood how to use sound not just as a sensory experience but as a force capable of altering matter’s density. This allowed massive stone blocks to be lifted without traditional machinery. In addition, the Seth Material introduced the concept of “coordinate points,” specific locations in space-time where consciousness and physical reality intersect more readily. These energetic zones could have allowed ancient builders to assemble structures with greater ease—possibly using focused thought or conscious will rather than just tools and labor. From this view, the pyramids were more than tombs; they were multi-dimensional tools, perhaps even serving as gateways between physical and non-physical realms. This theory, while unconventional, invites several positive interpretations. It challenges materialist assumptions and encourages expansive thinking about human potential and the spiritual dimensions of ancient technology. The notion of using sound and mental focus to shape reality echoes concepts found in other ancient wisdom traditions, such as Tibetan monks chanting to move objects. Some contemporary researchers have even explored whether the pyramids’ locations correspond with subtle Earth energies, lending a degree of speculative support to the coordinate point concept. At the very least, the whole theory adds symbolic value, portraying the pyramids as the result of a civilization deeply in tune with the universe, not just with stone. However, these ideas are met with strong skepticism in academic circles. There is no physical or historical evidence of tools or knowledge that could manipulate matter through consciousness. The Seth Material, being channeled, lacks peer-reviewed validation and relies heavily on belief and interpretation. Moreover, critics argue that attributing ancient achievements to mystical forces can undermine the ingenuity and labor of real human workers, engineers, and societies who demonstrated incredible organizational and technical skill for their time. In essence, while the Seth Material offers a poetic and metaphysically rich perspective, it remains speculative and largely unsupported by conventional science. Still, its imaginative framework can inspire new ways of thinking about what ancient civilizations might have known—and what we have yet to rediscover.

當作者在介紹一種非主流的神秘觀點時，突然提到另一個完全不同文化中也有類似的傳說，你覺得作者這樣寫，主要想向讀者展示這種觀點具有什麼樣的共通特點呢？

跨文化例證與寫作意圖
這道題目考查的是對段落中「舉例目的」的理解。文章第三段提到「利用聲音與心念塑造現實」時，特別指出這與其他古老智慧傳統（如西藏僧侶吟唱移物）相互呼應（echoes）。作者引用這個例子，正是為了說明這類「形而上的觀念（metaphysical claims）」並非孤立存在，而是在不同文化間（across cultures）都有類似的描述，因此選項 (C) 是最恰當的推論。
