"Absolutely fascinating. Pretty tough read with all the numbers and math involved, but if you're able to get past that, you get a really nice look at the science behind the way the Great Pyramids of Egypt were built."
"It is pretty easy to summarize the conclusion of this book. Basically, it's that the configuration of the Egyptian pyramids--and there are dozens of them known--and temples and some of their components bear a direct correspondence to stellar positions. In other words, the ancient Egyptians, taking the Nile as their baseline, mapped the heavens and seasons upon the earth, this mapping suggesting a good deal not only about their belief system, but also providing many testable hypotheses for not only dating known structures but also for seeking lost ones. In addition, the authors provide a first-hand account of the results of the Upuaut robot-probe investigations of the four angled shafts leading from the two upper chambers of the Great Pyramid often attributed to Khufu.
Other than a rather mediocre prose-style, my only objections to this book are: 1. The references to Edgar Cayce which are alluded to in passing. 2. The vague references to evidences suggesting that a radical redating of some of the monuments may be in order. 3. The unexamined assumption that the pyramids served originally as tombs when, in fact, there has been no hard evidence for this hypothesis. 4. The lack of serious reference to the building complexes within which some, if not all, of the pyramids were located, particularly to the sphinx associated with the Giza complex.
Perhaps, however, it was best that the authors avoided these ancillary considerations in order to get their primary thesis across. That they do rather convincingly."
"This book explores the relation between the pyramids and the stars, and the author sets out to show that they were built in alignment with key stars. Orion's belt, for example, matches the line made by the pyramids at Giza. A theory that has only gained acceptance in recent years after much research, Bavaul sets out to show that the ancient Egyptian religion was astronomically based in the Hermetic principle of "as above, below". I thought to give it three stars simply because it gets a little repetitive, but changed my mind only because this complaint is such a minor one. It gets pretty technical, but he explains things well and makes it a good read even for the person not well versed in engineering or astronomy. I read it from cover to cover in less than a day."
