If you want a fresh understanding of Ancient Egypt, The Land of Osiris is your best guide. In this well-written book Stephen Mehler provides a new perspective of this ancient culture distilled from his own research spanning over 30 years plus the invaluable knowledge provided by Abd'el Hakim Awyan, a master of the oral indegenous tradition. Rather than Egyptology with its western outsider bias, Stephen believes that we need a new tradition, a new paradigm, which incorporates this living indigenous knowledge and chooses to call it Khemitology. I believe this is a bold and necessary departure because the dead weight of mainstream Egyptology simply does not answer the questions that need to be answered. To put it in different terms, who were the ancient Khemitians and what did they know? Stephen's book is an introduction to answering those questions.

So what does Stephen give us. As a matter of fact, there are many items of fact and deduction but I will suggest a few. He gives us the land of BU WZR, the Land of Osiris and what it entailed. He asserts that the culture may stretch as far back as 65,000 years ago. He defines and clearly delinates the difference between a place of power (per-neter), a place of burial (per-ka) and a house of worship (per-ba). In the process he corroborates Christopher Dunn's theory that the Great Pyramid was a place of power. He shows us a clear connection between the Maya and the Khemitians. From satellite-based maps he demonstrates the bed of the Ur-Nile or proto-Nile covered most of what is today western Egypt. From shards of limestone canals he was shown by Hakim, he claims that water was diverted from West to East. He argues that the Bu WZR pyramids may have been part of a huge Fibonacci spiral rather than a ground map of the heavens as asserted by Hancock and Bauval. And perhaps the biggest of all, he concludes that the Sphinx is very, very old. Hakim, in fact, believes that it is over 50,000 years old. If you think this is a stretch, read Our Cosmic Ancestors by Maurice Chatelain about numbers found in Assurbanipal's library which were known over 64,000 thousand years ago.

Stephen has provided an invaluable service and guidebook for all students of ancient Egypt. I highly recommend this book to all.

Stephen Mehler's research, spanning over 30+ years, indicate that whenever there is a so-called "Power Place", sacred site or Vortex on Earth - three things will always be found. Flowing water, a source of natural crystal, and igneous rock (itself a source of crystal) - these three elements are found at every major site in Egypt, not by any accident. His major theme in the book is that the ancient Khemitian civilization, over 10,000 years old, was based on ANOTHER Nile River, in what is today called the Western Desert. The ancient Khemitians drilled miles of tunnels through limestone bedrock to divert this river to the present Nile Valley, and also built huge above ground aqueducts and channels to bring water to the sites. EVERY Per-Neter had water flowing into it to create acoustic harmonic resonance with each other . . . tremendous amounts of energy could be created this way.

This completely concurs with the evidence and functioning of the subterranean section of the Great Pyramid.

My copy of "The Land of Osiris" is highlighted thoughout. It is packed with solid new information.

Stephen's indigenous teacher, Abd'El Hakim Awyan, stated "Follow the water". Absolute truth.

The Land of Osiris by Stephen Mehler is a very outstanding book. It is in fact the first book on the actual history and pre-history of Egypt written on the basis of knowledge received from the keeper of indigenous traditions, Egyptian archaeologist with European education Abd'El Hakim. Paradoxically, by so far nobody of Egyptologists was interested in the true history retained by autochthonous keepers! The book astonishes the reader by a great quantity of names of people who have explored archaeology and history of ancient Egypt. The book shows that the author is encyclopedic learning and deep awareness of manifold branches both of science and human life. His talent for a wide comprehensive analysis is a rarity among researchers.

S. Mehler filled the book by startling photographs, which allow us to touch to pre-historical places of boiling life of ancient Khemitians, autochthonous population of Khemitia (called Egypt by antique Greeks). In particular, a great surprise is the photograph of traces of a pre-historical harbor located now among uninhabited sands. He also presents incontestable evidence about direct contacts between pre-historical American civilizations and Khemitians. Basing on Hakim's knowledge of the Khemitian language, S. Mehler gives the correct interpretation of many terms, which so far were perceived as absolutely faithful (pharaoh, tomb, pyramid, etc.). The deciphering conducted radically changes our taking of ancient Egypt and put the Khemitian history back where their history found it. The book also tells about the organization of Khemitian community as a society of people with equal right. We have learned about the structure of their community that possessed a very deep scientific knowledge, which was based on the harmonic coexistence of people with Nature, or more exactly, with the universe that they perceived as a universal organism.

In fact, The Land of Osiris is an actual breakthrough in Egyptology. Bravo, Mehler! The book awakes consciousness and that is why it is highly recommended to everybody, from amateurs to scientists, from young to adults. A deep book for deep people.

The Land of Osiris restores to the Egyptian people their true proud heritage. Mehler looks at how research into the history of Egypt has been built on the opinions of non-indigenous people; foreigners who filtered what they saw with a chauvinism and superiority that was endemic to the invaders of this great land.

Not satisfied with the Greco-Roman model of the evolution of civilizations on this planet, Mehler began to study the oral tradition of the indigenous people of Egypt and learned that there was a hidden story waiting to be told. His book recounts this oral tradition and enlightens us to a much richer and older civilization than what we have been taught.

The Land of Osiris is a huge stepping stone in our journey to recover the wisdom of the ancient Khemitians (Egyptians).

This is a book that both Egyptolgists and the general public have been waiting for. Stephen Mehler does an outstanding job of filling in the gap of ancient history and showing that the Egyptian civilization is much much older than previously believed. Ancient History and Egyptology textbooks will have to be rewritten because of Mehler's work. I seldom read a book straight through without stopping but this happened with "The Land of Osiris". His research and the way he tells it is so exciting that you can not put the book down. This book tells the hidden history of Ancient Egypt. Traditional Egyptologists beware! It will knock your socks off. Stephen cites and discusses archeological information and research that he has personally done. After reading this book, you will see ancient Egypt in a new light. Go on a journey to ancient times and learn about the history of ancient Egypt as it really was.

Land of Osiris is one of the few books I read in less than a day, could not stop reading this one! Finally a truthful evaluation and summarization of how things really are in this world. The world and its history, especially Egypt is far older than "they" want you to know. There is a greater history to mankind that is encoded in our DNA that wants us to be empowered. Sometimes the truth is not what you expect it to be. The truth is always stranger than fiction! Buy it, read it, start your transition into truth.

I did learn a few new things about the land called Egypt but was distracted by the constant grammatical errors. Why can't authors or their editors learn English grammar and practice it in the pages of their work? I would now like to find a book about the subject with a little more meat and fewer unnecessary photos. This book is not as good as Graham Hancock's many works. I also wonder about the authenticity of the "tour guide", the harmonics, etc.

A very easy-to-read overview of Egyptology and why a lot of it is probably inaccurate, based as it is on the mistranslation of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics by the Greeks who were seen as barbarians by the Egyptians. What we currently think we know about ancient Egypt, therefore, comes from what the Greeks thought they knew - which apparently was not very much, as the ancient Egyptian wisdom-keepers did not pass their inner secrets on to the Greeks and nor did they tell them all of the meanings of their largely symbolic written language. This knowledge did not die with the ancient Egyptian civilisation, however, but lives on today in the form of local initiates to the teachings of the ancients.

The Land Of Osiris introduces the oral tradition of ancient Khem or Khemit which has been handed down for millennia and is now recounted by the author from the teachings of local wisdom keeper Abd'El Hakim Awyan, a local tour guide known to many who lived a few hundreds yards from the Giza plateau. This tradition confirms the belief that the true history of ancient Egypt, or Khem, is very different from, and far far older than, the currently accepted version and is corroborated by, among many others, the works of Christopher Dunn who documents unmistakeable evidence in far-off ancient times of advanced machining techniques we are only just starting to use today (such as ultra-sonic drilling), and by John Anthony West and Robert Schoch who have demonstrated that the Sphinx is far older than is currently accepted due to the irrefutable presence of massive water erosion around the structure and its enclosure, the type of erosion generally accepted by geologists as being the result of thousands of years of rain.

This ancient oral tradition teaches that ancient Khem was a highly-advanced society which was both matriarchal and matrilineal, and was originally based on the ancient river Nile, named Ur Nil by one German researcher, far to the west of the modern-day river. To demonstrate the truth of Hakim assertions the author undertook field trips far out in the western desert and found clear evidence of ancient stone works as well as water erosion over wide areas, and also confirmed that even the slope of the land from west to east helps to corroborate this belief whilst effectively refuting much that is currently accepted about the current Nile's role in ancient Egypt.

Linking this up with evidence that the whole of the Giza plateau and indeed many Egyptian historical sites have hundreds of miles of tunnels cut in perfectly straight lines through the solid bedrock beneath them, as well as much else, the author takes us on a spell-binding journey around the major Per Neters (Neter, as explained by the author, is another mistranslated term which means, instead of "deity", rather aspect of deity; in this context it means House of Energy) around the Land Of Osiris, Bu Wizr, in the northern part of current-day Egypt, to give substance to the new paradigm of Khemitology - the pyramids, those ancient, ancient structures which current Egyptology wrongly insists were built as tombs in relatively modern dynastic times. This new paradigm should be based, says Hakim, upon the understanding that the pyramids were built tens of thousands of years ago as part of a highly-advanced ancient society's power-generation system, as well as serving various other functions such as centres of healing and revitalisation due to the ever-present acoustic harmonies and natural energies and vibrations, also being fuelled and surrounded by water. Indeed, the whole system was largely dependent upon the water flow supplied from the ancient western river through the aforementioned underground tunnel system, as well as many above-surface structures (and more pyramids), some of which are still evidence and some of which may now still be buried beneath the sand.

Hakim matter-of-factly suggests that the Sphinx is approximately 54,000 years old, and the pyramids far older. The civilisation was largely destroyed during a great global cataclysm which occurred approximately 11,500 years ago, an event which is thought by many "conventional" scholars and authors to perhaps have been the Great Flood as the last ice age ended and which has been suggested by many "unconventional" scholars and authors to have been the close passage of a comet which then became the planet Venus, or the return of a rogue planet on an orbit which brings it into the inner Solar System only once every few thousand years, and various other scenarios. After this cataclysm the remains of the society, over thousands of years, slowly evolved into what we now know as the dynastic period of Egyptian history, also suggested by the author to have been the birth of patriarchy, during which a few attempts were made to copy the grand works of the past. The culmination of these appears to have been the Step Pyramid of Djoser, supposedly the oldest Egyptian "pyramid" but more probably the youngest. As the author points out, it is an strange fact about ancient Egypt that the skill of the builders apparently regressed as time went on; the most spectacular structures are in reality the oldest.

The Land Of Osiris is an eye-opening and oft-times jaw-dropping introduction to Khemitology and the indigenous oral tradition which lays out the cultural framework for Christopher Dunn's powerful theory about the true nature of the pyramids, and like Dunn's book, I found it so fascinating I had to read it twice, as I'm sure will most who read it. A must have.

Abd'El Hakim Awyan is a tourist guide. Period. Albeit an excellent guide, I personally would be hesitant about the accuracy of Hakim's information. This comes from years of living in Egypt and observing how these "indigenous masters" work and how they interact with foreigners, as well as how they acquire their information about various topics. Besides, the indigenous peoples of Egypt are not the Egyptian villagers who live infront of the Sphinx. The true indigenous people are the rare bedouin tribes still roaming the deserts such as the Hamitic Beja tribes or the Berbers of the Siwah tribe....

Amazingly superficial and trivial. Proof that anyone can write a book, regardless of knowledge, ability or insight. Here's the formula: recall the work of others, name-drop the true researchers, get an Egyptian tour guide to be your "mystic teacher", give lots of personal opinions and beliefs, mention science but leave out facts, get a publishing 'friend' on the inside and presto-chango, financing for your next vacation to Egypt. Save your money on this one folks, it's a total waste.
