- Summary:
- The Great Pyramid of Giza has tantalized and baffled mankind for over forty centuries - is it a royal tomb, a treasure house, an astronomical observatory, or an incredible, sophisticated publicworks project? Could it even be a landmark of an earlier civilization, perhaps immeasurably older than Egypt itself? The author explains the extraordinary facts of the Pyramid's siting and construction and goes on to uncover intriguing links between the Pyramid's picture of mankind's place in the Universe and the religious traditions of Egypt, Palestine, India and even Central America.
