I rate this book a 2, because I am frustrated. I bought this book online hoping to find some answers to teach my class. However, all I found were better articulated questions and more questions. So if you want to see, in written form, every possible question relating to the pyramids, this book is for you. THERE ARE NO ANSWERS IN THIS BOOK. Furthermore, I think there needs to be a big disclaimer explaining that this book is just one grand, expensive "teaser" to the real book, volume two. Finally, I am quite curious to see if there is a volume two or is this just more sound and fury signifying nothing.

I agree completely with the last review. This book should be called "The Egyptian Pyramid Mystery UNSOLVED". There is a mention of the actual solutions coming in Volume II (i.e. Volume 1 is just the same old description of the problem) and years later, still waiting for Volume II. Frankly I think Ms. Morris should be put in jail to find some time and write Volume II!

Margaret Morris has written a guided tour through the history of the Great Pyramids and theories about their construction. She is a meticulous historian, showing the errors and contradictions of the popular theories promoted in books and TV documentaries. Rich with quotations by various authorities, detailed in notes, it is readable as a detective story. The reader is left hanging at the end, thirsting for the following book. Therein the contradictions are resolved in a revelation of a new, realistic path of understanding what the Ancient Egytpians achieved and how they did it.

This is rarely fabulous book! I can't say enough good about it! I picked it up and couldn't put it down until I finished every single word. What makes it so amazing?? It goes into an impressive depth of extremely fascinating information describing head-scratching anomalies of stone monuments and artifacts of Egypt. There's no speculation here. All is taken from respected Egyptology sources. The facts are compiled in this book as I've never seen them before in all my years of reading on the subject! I'd say that, in time, this book will become "The Bible" on how the Egyptian pyramids were and were not built. It demolishes conventional ideas without jumping to wild conclusions. The book is pragmatic. It overwhelmingly, incontrovertibly shows that the accepted theory of pyramid construction is no good; and this book is the most comprehensive study proving that! It's overwhelmingly thorough in this regard. This beautiful book reads like a mystery and is tremendously exciting and fun to read. I am greatly impressed by this ingenious work, and my thinking has totally changed because of it. Volume 1: The Mysteries truly sets a grand stage for Volume 2: The Solution!
