Description

One of the seven wonders of the world, the Great Pyramid at Giza has been the object of intense mystical and religious speculation for the past 5,000 years. The ancient Egyptians built the Great Pyramid in the third millennium before Christ, using complex mathematical and scientific laws believed not to have been discovered until 1700 B.C. or later, in Greece. How could the early Egyptian masters have known about--and used--these highly advanced principles? Piazzi Smyth, the Astronomer-Royal for Scotland during the late nineteenth century, believed that there were powerful ties to Christianity in the early Egyptian civilization, and he made it his life's work to study the mysteries of the Great Pyramid. This reprint of his 1880 book is the result of his extensive travel and research and provides fascinating evidence for an arcane theory. Here are just a few of Smyth's intriguing points:* The angle created by the side of the pyramid and the ground is equal to (pi), or 3.14159, the critical geometric concept supposedly not discovered until 1,300 years later by the ancient Greeks.* The total weight of the stones used to create the pyramid is in the same proportion to its mass as that of the earth to its mass; at the time it was built, the weight and mass of the earth were unknown.* The pyramid is located at the 30th parallel, which is equidistant from the North Pole and the equator and is a standard guide for navigational and astronomical calculations made by scientific laws undiscovered at the time of its construction.* The rooms and compartments found at different levels within the pyramid all measure a temperature of 68°F, now considered to be the optimum temperature for human habitation.In this classic work, Smyth's meticulous drawings, precise calculations, and logical reasoning convey the amazing spell that the Great Pyramid has cast over speculative and dreaming men throughout the course of history.
