The Giza Death Star,
By Cletus F. Wallace (Coatesville, PA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Giza Death Star (Paperback)
Farrell theorized that the Great Pyramid was a terrible weapon of mass destruction, used by by a technological advanced ancient civilization in the mist of pre-history and sets today on the Giza Plateau disarmed but ready!Farrell's technical civilization is the 'doner' civilization that provided the foundation of the Egyptian civilization that existed in the Nile Valley some 5,000 years ago. What kind of civilization would have designed and built such an awsome weapon of mass destruction as envisioned by Farrell, and apparently used it with no hesitation against their fellow man? A civilization not unlike those that arose from the foundations and ashes of older extinct civilizations. A civilization subject to all the faults and foibles of human beings, hatred, love jealously and greed. No different than those in existance today and poised to destroy the world. Farrell speculates, the "Great Pyramid was a phase congugate mirror(magic mirror of legends),and howitzer, utilizing Bohm's 'pilot wave' as a carrier to acelerate electromagnetic and acoustal waves to a target via harmonic interfermetry." Ferrell believes that the chambers and passageways of the Great Pyramid were used as a series of loops to generate and amplyfy these gravito-acoustical waves and direct them to their target. Farrell finds traces of this ancient science he calls "Paleophysics" in the ancient and obsecure texts of Egypt. If Ferrell's asumptions are correct, this ancient weapons system was the most powerful weapon ever to exist on Earth. Even today, with our advanced technology, the technology involved in the building of this weapon system can only exist in dreams. This is the grist for the mills of science fiction that dream of the theories of Nikola Tessla, The Montouk Project, the Philadelphia Experiment, and Area 51. These are the technologies our government is allways accused of developing in secret labortories and witholding from the public. After reading the "Giza Death Star", readers will never be able to look at the Giza Plateau and its mysterious prymids and buildings in the same old way! After reading the "Giza Death Star", find a copy of Hamlet's Mill and read it with a critical eye. Sleep well tonight, keeping in mind that a government scientist in a weapons laboratory at an isolated location may be reading these same works!

Simply unreadable !,

This review is from: The Giza Death Star (Paperback)
The author is supposed to be a historian with a PhD in Patristics from Oxford. Then how comes he is hardly able to quote any of his sources ? In "The Giza Death Star" a great number of undemonstrated, undocumented and very questionable assumptions of authors like Zecharia Sitchin and David Hatcher Childress are presented as sound facts. The author sometimes admits he was not able to find where the original information came from, but most times he doesn't even mind checking: if Sitchin or Childress says so he just takes it for granted.
The rest of the book is an obscure gibberish based on parallels drawn between ancient texts quoted out of context and specific aspects of quantum physics. Most times the link is not explained at all; whenever there is the beginning of a demonstration it never comes close to be convincing or even informative. At the very beginning the reader is warned that the text will be about quantum physics. Therefore I read a book which explains quantum physics to the general public before I read "The Giza Death Star" but it didn't help. Wether it is because of my own ignorance of the field is difficult to tell since the demonstrations of the author are either extremely cursory or simply non-existent. In any case the demonstration is bad or even missing and a historian can not be excused for using such flimsy information as the very basis of his theory. The way this book is written doesn't give you a chance to exert your critical mind. It left me with the feeling of having been taken for a fool. For a very good book about the link between myths and quantum physics you can read "The Science of the Dogon" by Laird Scranton. The demonstration is documented, clear and convincing.

Very Imaginative,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Giza Death Star (Paperback)
I gave this book 5 stars because I love books that are based on the groundbreaking work of Christopher Dunn in his book "The Giza Power Plant".
The author is a physicist but he has enough imagination to believe in mythology, realizing that those myths and legends are based on reality at some level. Farrell takes Dunn's theories about the pyramid being a machine to a new level. Based on the ideas of Zecharia Sitchin he proposes that the Giza complex was intended to be a military base and weapons platform before it was even constructed. Because the author is a physicist he focuses mainly on the scientific aspects of his theory while perhaps neglecting the positive, spiritual aspects of how this mystical structure was used for positive purposes. Farrell compares what happened over 12,000 years ago in Egypt to our own society today where most of the national budget is put into military projects. However we may as well compare our current society to another planet as far as how similar the world was at that time to today. While I enjoyed this book immensely I do not believe that the Giza complex was created to be used as a weapon of mass destruction. Rather as the American psychic Edgar Cayce said about a similar technology on Atlantis it was the misuse of such awesome power that became destructive. Cayce did say that the terrible crystal technology was used to create a death ray on Atlantis after the evil Atlanteans got control of it. But that same ray was also used to power their flying saucers and for other things including spiritual things that aren't related to technology. I guess it is possible that this same scenario played out in ancient Egypt. Those same evil forces may have gotten control of the pyramid machine. Still this book raises many interesting questions. After the pyramid machine was built what happened then ? Who was left in charge of it ? So many questions. When will we ever know all of the answers ? Obviously the state of the pyramid today is very much degraded from it's original state when it was covered with a polished, highly reflective white limestone and had either a gold or crystal cap stone. The number 3 is the most mysterious number in the universe and it comes into play with the pyramid. The mathematical value 'pi' is 3 followed by a fractional number that continues out to an infinite number of decimal places. There were also 27 pairs of resonators inside the pyramid machine at one time.

Paleophysics and the Pyramids,
By Joanneva12a (USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Giza Death Star (Paperback)
"Giza Death Star" is Dr. Farrells hypothesis on the true function of the Great Pyramid left by a Paleoancient society predating the Egyptian "legacy" civilization who merely inherited it. Farrell postulates that the Great Pyramid is a shell missing its primary components which were likely deliberately destroyed as recounted in ancient Sumerian texts.
Building upon the works of writers such as Christopher Dunn and others, Farrell brings together ancient esoteric texts and various known physics together with some amazing mathematical facts about the Great Pyramid itself to form his hypothesis that the Great Pyramid went beyond being a power source but was instead an ancient weapon of terrible mass destruction. He puts forth a plausible case that the great Giza Pyramid tapped into the fabric of resonant energy that is freely available on Earth and beyond, which then coupled and oscillated gravitational and electromagnetic energy along with acoustical energy into a superluminal wave form called a pilot or scalar wave. The passageways inside the pyramid itself hold many redundancies to Planck's constant and could have been used ( with its now missing components ) as an amplification feedback loop using interferometry and harmonics. There is lots of physics in this book - a necessary primer in understanding where the authors ideas come from. My biggest complaint is the information presented seemed rather scattered at times and took a long time to come together for the reader. There were times when the book flowed and other times when it did not, and I was not particularly comfortable with the format of the chapters. Nevertheless, this is a fascinating subject that has been gaining acceptance in some circles and is a refreshing break from the dubious conclusions presented to us over the years by Orthodox Egyptologists who excel in denying any sort of mystery when one clearly exists. The reader will have to let go of their evolutionary thinking and consider the possibility that there were indeed civilizations that existed - much older than what we commonly think - that may indeed have had access to a physics that we have yet to rediscover.

great insights,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Giza Death Star (Paperback)
In this book, Farrell expands upon Christopher Dunn's research into the true nature of the Great Pyramid of Giza as a working machine. While Dunn has concluded that it was a tremendous power plant, Farrell takes that idea even further and shows how it could have been not only that, but also a weapon of truly monstrous proportions. From the halls of ancient knowledge to the cutting edge of today's physics, Farrell sifts through evidence and speculations to build a firm foundation for his theory that the Pyramids were once great weapons used in interplanetary war. While those not used to alternative history and science might balk at such an idea, it is probably the best theory yet for the nature of Giza and its remains. For those wedded to mainstream ideas, there is nothing here for you. For those who prefer "channeled wisdom" from cult heroes, don't bother with it either. This book will demolish cherished prejudices of both groups, and should be left to those who are curious and can accept new ideas. This book is for open-minded people who can think "outside the box" of current orthodoxy, and dare to try to see things in this world more clearly. Farrell begins with historical, mythical, and information from previous researchers (all well cited), and methodically builds his case for the "Weapon Hypothesis" of the pyramid's use. He follows the line of thought that there was an "Ancient High Civilization," which was much more advanced than are we today, and that much of what we have "discovered" are just fragments of that society's knowledge. He uses the term "paleophysics" to describe the nature of the scientific knowledge required to create the pyramid in its weapon form. His work is meticulous, logical, and very solid. He mixes thorough scientific process with strong investigative technique in a way that would make Sherlock Holmes proud. While there is far too much to describe here, suffice it to say that this is one of the best "alternative History/science" book series one can read. I recommend this and all of Farrell's books to those who want to learn and understand what the "men behind the curtain" have been up to in our history (and are still up to today?).

a little dry, but very interesting,
By Patrick (West Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Giza Death Star (Paperback)
I'm not too far into this book, but it's very interesting. I had no knowledge of almost everyting he's discussed. There's so much out there that we aren't taught in school.
A basic understanding of String Theory is suggested for the reader get a good understanding of the book. I've never had a physics class, but after a bit of googling I think I have the gist of it. I really don't find the book hard to follow, but it's a VERY slow read. There's a lot of mental digestion necessary to stay with it, and the writing is generally dry. However, as soon as it lags Mr. Farrel will introduce something fascinating, so it's not too hard to stay interested. Overall, I give it a thumbs up.

You Need This Book,
By Steve Sommers "Author of: Evil Super-Villain... (Swiss River, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Giza Death Star (Paperback)
It certainly helps to have somewhat of a background in Quantum Physics and history -- because then you can really appreciate what Joseph Farrell has done with this work. He very skillfully explains the anomalies of physics and history as regards to the 'monuments' on the Giza plains.
This one deserves to be read and re-read.

Common...,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Giza Death Star (Paperback)
I'd give it an 8 for scope and chustpa and a 2 on delivering the goods. Although I don't believe the Great Pyramid was ever a tomb the author never convinced me that it was a "death ray" machine. He constantly quotes other authors who use the same unsubstantiated "facts" to support their theories. And then he quotes himself by using a diminutive type face in the middle of the page as another source. Again and again he made claims that seemed as silly as, ...if I made ham and eggs for breakfast, the great pyramid is a death weapon. Yes I learned a little more than I already knew about the Great Pyramid from reading Hancock's books on the Giza complex, but the assertions needed more substance behind them. I'm hoping the government in Egypt will allow more scientific exploration of the Pyramid so humanity will at last find out what it was really built for, but until then its all speculation.

Huh?!,
By Tobinius (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Giza Death Star (Paperback)
This book was almost impossible for me to comprehend. I guess the main problem is I'm not a physicist. And after reading the first two pages of the preface, I realized that reading this book was going to be quite laborsome. The Author quickly warns the reader that he will not attempt to dumb things down, and that's fine, but unfortunatley, it is so riddled with technical specifications about physics and quantum string theories,that I felt lost and confused through much of the book. Now don't get me wrong, Farrell's book definitely brings up some fascinating points that authors like John Anthony West, Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval started back in the 1990's. Specifically, about the ignorance of Egyptologists, and their absolute refusal to accept clear evidence of a much more advanced culture that our recorded history simply has no record of. There are a sleu of books available today that have this kind of theme to thtem, and I love reading them. The problem for me was that much of the more comprehensible material discussed in this book was really just rehashing points that authors like Christopher Dunn so geniously discovered. The evidence of the great pyramid obviously being some kind of machine. In fact, if this topic interests you, I would recommend reading Dunn's book instead, as the actual data that Farell discusses about the chambers are mainly referencing "The Giza Powerplant". Where Dunn adresses the evidence of this concept, backed by reverse engineering and a simple, clear breakdown of how a machine like this might work, Farrell tends to get speculative about how this machine must be a weapon. And honestly, I have to admit, by the end of the book, I never fully understood, nor accepted the idea of how this weapon could actually work, which in fareness to Farrel, may very well be my lack of advanced Physics knowledge. Because there were a few areas where I almost understood what he was saying about the ancient physics being a unified field theory that modern physicists have been trying to develop. that would make a lot of sense if you accept the idea that we, as a species have devolved quite a bit from our very ancient and forgotten origins. If this topic interests you, then you may very well enjoy this book, but personally, I wouldn't mind a more "dumbed-down" version instead.

same old theories, different author,
By KidFlash2008 (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Giza Death Star (Paperback)
When I started to read this book, I felt like I had read a better version of the book. It turns out I did as The Giza Death Star reads like poor versions of Christopher Dunn, Robert Bauval etc. The theories Mr Farrell presents seem tired and done over. He also adds much math to the book but it makes it even more boring. There are many fans of Joseph P Farrell in the fringe and conspiracy circles. It is safe to say I am not one of them. Mr Farrell does make the claim he takes Mr Dunn's ideas one step further, but it seems like a step that did not need to be taken. I did read the whole book and do still have it. I wanted to like it when I first received it. While I disagree with Mr Farrell on his research about Nazi technologies, I did want to read what he had to offer in the other areas of fringe subjects. I am interested in the ancient pyramids and monuments with possible ties to the unknown, so I got this book hoping it offered a different take. Sadly, it does not. If one is a fan of Mr Farrell's, they will like this book. Many will probably be like me and wish they did not spend money on it. |
