Description
A noted British Egyptologist of the nineteenth century, James Bonwick was among the first authors to attempt to explain the age-old mystery of the Great Pyramid's construction and objectives. With equal parts imagination and erudition, he takes a close look at the pyramid's physical form: how it was constructed; its steps, passages, chambers, and inscriptions; when it was built, and by whom. A comparative survey takes in other Egyptian pyramids, monumental tombs, obelisks, and the Great Sphinx. Fascinating speculations on the pyramid's auxiliary purposes range from the practical to the fanciful, and the author discusses the structure's roles as an astronomical observatory, a source of inspiration for religious teachings, and its scientific and mystic implications. Unabridged republication of the classic 1877 edition.
