Book De*ion The geologist acclaimed for re-dating the
Great Sphinx at Giza sets his sights on one of the true mysteries
of antiquity: the Great Pyramid of Giza.
What is the Great Pyramid of Giza? Ask that basic question of a
traditional Egyptologist, and you get the basic, traditional
answer: a fancy tombstone for a self-important pharaoh of the Old
Kingdom. This, Egyptologists argue, is the sole finding based on
the data, and the only deduction supported by science.
By implication, anyone who dissents from this point of view is
unscientific and woolly-minded-a believer in magic and ghosts.
Indeed, some of the unconventional ideas about the Great Pyramid do
have a spectacularly fabulous ring to them. Yet from beneath the
obvious terms of this controversy, a deeper, more significant
question arises: how is it that the Great Pyramid exercises such a
gripping hold on the human psyche- adding cryptic grace to the back
of the one-dollar bill and framing myriad claims of New Age
“pyramid power”?
In Pyramid Quest, Robert M. Schoch and Robert Aquinas McNally use
the rigorous intellectual analysis of scientific inquiry to
investigate what we know about the Great Pyramid, and develop a
stunning hypothesis: This ancient monument is the strongest proof
yet that civilization began thousands of years earlier than is
generally thought, extending far back into a little-known time. In
tracing that story, we come to understand not only the Great
Pyramid but also our own origins as civilized beings.
