4.0 out of 5 stars
A quick history followed by an unbelievable hypothesis,
By S.K.M. (Detroit, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secret Chamber: The Quest for the Hall of Records (Paperback)
What's the connection between the stars of the Orion Constellation and the Great Pyramid at Giza, Egypt? How old is the Great Sphinx? What is contained in the secret chamber?
Answers to these questions are explored in this book as well as Bauval's journey with dealing with the bureaucracy of Egyptian historical authorities. This book is more of hypothetical book when explaining these mysteries than representations of fact. Bauval feels an intrinsic connection between all these and explores possibilities based on age old allegories and myths. (Spoiler ahead) In answering these questions, Bauval postulates the Great Sphinx was created with superior knowledge of technology and architecture taught by another race. This race is the question of great debate and Bauval eventually settles on the Atlantians; a mythical society which technologically advanced. The postulation of the 10,000 BCE creation of the Sphinx and the hypothesis of hidden Atlantian scrolls hidden in the Secret Chamber in the Great Pyramid are the culmination of his hope to find the basis of humanity's genius. We might never know since we might never reach the innards of the Secret Chamber. (Spoiler over) This is a great exploration into the unknown and gives credence to what would otherwise be wild guesswork. By providing a good basis, Bauval holds his readers in suspense as to what exactly is in the Secret Chamber. Perhaps such secrets would be discovered with greater technology in the coming years, but if you want a historical episode combined with mythical and hypothetical guesswork, you might want to read this book. I enjoyed it but the end of this book left me with a great pang of loss for what we could have discovered had we opened the Chamber. For that, this book was a great tease, but otherwise, it is a good book.

Read his aother books first,

This review is from: Secret Chamber: The Quest for the Hall of Records (Paperback)
If you want the hard facts, read his other books and those written with graham hancock - they are excellent. This book is for people who want a very detailed expose of the intrigue 'behind the scenes'. That said, I admire his work and appreciate the frustration he must feel when the apparent experts are not prepared to consider his well-founded views.

This review is from: Secret Chamber: The Quest for the Hall of Records (Hardcover)
Overall the book is fine for it's age, however could have mentioned
that it smelled of cigarette/cigar smoke. Rather noticeable for a nonsmoker.
