5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliant, November 10, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Giza Death Star Deployed: The Physics and Engineering of the Great Pyramid (Paperback)
"The Giza Death Star Deployed" will completely change the way you think about ancient (pre-flood?) history. Though Mr. Farrell failed to convince of the fact that the Great Pyramid of Giza was necessarily a weapon, I am completely convinced that it was not built as a tomb. Joseph Farrell examines all the evidence, archaeological, historical, literary, and scientific, leaving no stone unturned. When I first picked up the book, I thought, as anyone would, "is he serious?". But even scanning through the book, I could tell that he was. Suffice it to say that you will never think of the pyramids of Giza the same. For a fresh look at ancient history (along with much, much more) read this book.

This review is from: The Giza Death Star Deployed: The Physics and Engineering of the Great Pyramid (Paperback)
In the first half of the book, the author, Joseph Farrell, jams in extensive quotes from hundreds of "sources" as he attempts to build his case (or to refute non-believers) that the Great Pyramid at Giza was a military weapon. You have to pay really good attention when you read the book as the author bounces around quite a bit and takes many questionable leaps.
Typical of the sources that the author quoted is a 2-page article written by a Ukrainian UFO expert, Vladimir Rubtsov, that appeared in an issue of Fate magazine during 2002. The article was basically an interview with a person (known only as "Anatoliy") who apparently was the only eyewitness of a "scalar" explosion that completely wiped out an entire German "regiment" in 1943-44. Even though the only eyewitness to this event must be at least in his 80's and there are no other records (German or Russian) to support his recollection, Farrell treats this account as absolute fact. ("Scalar" physics postulates, as the author points out, that a time-reversed superluminal form of energy of great power that can be engineered through harmonic interferometry and can be made into a weapon.)
Many of us have seen the NASA photos of a section of the Cydonia region of Mars that show several mountains appear (at least from 200,000 feet) to be pyramids or have at least one side that looks to be relatively flat. However, Farrell (as well as several other authors) assume they are man-made pyramids. Farrell takes a leap as he suggests they were, at one time, military hardened structures.
In the middle of the book, for some unknown reason, Farrell presents a three-page summary of the importance of reading Tarot Cards as related to science. Obviously, I missed something. (Gotta learn to pay attention.)
In order to comprehend the second half of the book, it is essential for the reader to have an advanced degree in Physics. Not having an advanced degree in Quantum Mechanics, I gave up and never finished the book. Wanna buy it? Super cheap and I'll pay for shipping.

5.0 out of 5 stars
fascinating and unsettling but logical and mind expanding, August 22, 2008
This review is from: The Giza Death Star Deployed: The Physics and Engineering of the Great Pyramid (Paperback)
This book definately puts a different twist to the whole 'pyramid' ideology we've all come to love and adore. It convincingly postulates that the Giza pyramid may be a weapon of mass destruction, possibly used before to wage war with the planet Mars, and may be used again sometime in the near future by other Earthly beings of superior intellect than ourselves. Highly recommended to all interested in this field, but not for the faint-hearted. I was somewhat disturbed for days after reading it. Nonetheless, truth is truth and all doors must be opened.
