I found this book to be a fascinating publication.

Mr Ellis certainly has done an enormous amount of research, both in the libraries, and in the field.

I found that the central theme of the book ties in very closely with arguments put forward in publications by Robert Bauval, Robert Temple, Graham Hancock, Maurice Cotterell, and others. In fact, it is very believable, unless one is unable to discard the dogma of centuries of archaeological and religious indoctrination.

The central theme (theory) certainly gives us a different view of the possible meaning of the Pyramids, and Stonehenge

It is a great shame though, that the proofreaders seem to have "slipped up", and enjoyment of the book is marred by a plethora of spelling and grammatical mistakes.

Perhaps in the reprinted edition......?

All in all, a good read if you have an open mind.

By Fractal, I mean that Thoth the architect could be Thoth a person, or a highly advanced civilization represented by the name Thoth.

The author ties the measurements and mathematics of the pyramids, Stonehenge and Avebury with the myth of Thoth, who educated mankind in math and the mysteries of the heavens, leaving repositories of knowledge throughout the Earth. Those repositories may not be "inside" these megalithic structures, but instead the fundamental mathematics encoded in the architecture of these structures themselves. The author, a computer professional, solved these mysteries as a mathematical puzzle.

The similarities are absolutely astounding. All have been linked to the dimensions of the earth, but the author take this even further. Stonehenge Trilithons were based on Pi, as were the gates to the temple of Horus, the temple of karnac, and the pillars of Solomon, even though they were continents away. Pi, a letter in the Greek alphabet, also means gateway. Coincidence?

All three site measurements also connect to the Earth's precession, which imply that all were using a circle based on 360 degrees. Coincidence?

Even the different measuring systems (the Zil yard and Thoth cubit) used in their construction resulted in whole numbers. Coincidence?

The author concludes that Avebury is a representation of the planet Earth, with the small circles being Sonehenge as it appears in the northern hemisphere; Stonehenge was a precessional clock; and the pyramids connect the heavens with Earth and the continents, which is one of Spiritual truths found in the Hermetic: as is above, so below. The writing of the Hermetic was also credited to Thoth. Coincidence?

It all points to one set of "blueprints" by an ancient, highly technologically advanced civilization....Atlantis?
There are just too many coincidences for this to be overlooked. The book has a lot of math, but it is hard to make these points without it.

If you still think the Egyptologists are correct, and primitive civilizations that didn't have the wheel built megaliths like the pyramids, or Stonehenge, so they could dance around a cool looking burial ground, you're not going to like this book.

This book is not an entertainment subject, unless you are engineeringly inclined. The author takes his time to fill the pages, but the information contained within may change your understanding of religion, history and culture as we know it. Don't get me wrong, the book is not about new age or occult. He casts light upon the reason these world wonders were built, what type of messages they carry, some speculations about their functions and ultimately, some decrypting theories in mathematics which connect the historic achievements like Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid to a profound goal. Not discarding the indifferent judgement of Occam's Razor, the author is very frank about his speculations. If you think anything unknown must be subject to objective consideration, this book might provide you with serious thoughts to consider. In contrast to pegging these monuments as "built with religious thoughts", which by the way, is the official explanation evading the Razor; he is not afraid to test his ideas under the Razor. If you think our technology would be considered as magic earlier, you might apply the same state of mind to the discoveries and assertations contained in this book. Very satisfying!

I have read many authors on the subjects of Egyptology, Creation vs. Evolution, and of course the mighty Bible. Ralph Ellis's books are the one's worth the taking time to read. I do not say this lightly. Ellis has done the research and even though his writing style sometimes bogs down, he is the authority of our times. I have read others as I say. Osman's books were a good beginner into these subjects, but they are not the place to stop at and consider that the subject has been fulfilled in explanation. Budge is a favorite, but of course his information is out of date. Nedless to say, if you want current information, and the stuff that sticks to the ribs, then Ralph Ellis is your author. Start with "Jesus: Last of the Pharoahs" or "Thoth: Architect of the Universe", and don't just stop there!!! Read his whole series. You'll be glad that you did. Still even so, there are critics of Ellis, as usually comes from the more ignorant crowd or the religious bigot. Take a deep breath and let the pests fly off and just read these books for what they are worth and with an open mind, without the critical nature that has been pablum fed into us since childhood. Indeed, for those who keep their priorities straight, and an open mind, these books are worth their weight in gold.

I'm a serious student of alternative history and was looking in earnest to read Ellis' book, because it has been footnoted by some big names in the field.

What a disappointment! This book might be of some interest to engineers and people who love to play with numbers, but it makes zero sense historically. Not only is Ellis' final concluclusion absurd, but the length of time it takes to get there is far too long. The writing is clumsy and the thoughts convolulted.

This is one time I'm sorry I spent the money.

A great read for those who are interested in ancient Egyptian history. Ellis is to be applauded for his research that sheds a new light on Thoth. Although I would not consider Thoth an 'architect of the universe,' his place in ancient history is important and his contributions to humanity are enormous.

This is a great book for research purposes. Bettye Johnson, author, Secrets of the Magdalene Scrolls.

Nice to see something very new and exciting in this field of research. Well researched and very provokative thoughts on the history of manking - I like it.

I am so sorry for people who don't have the opportunity to read that fascinating book. a wonderful remedy for lies and manipulations of any kind and a disquieting but convincing theory about mankind origins. a must!!!

The book tries to show similarities between Stonehenge and Giza with weak arguments and lack of scientific methodology. Lots of opinions without any trace of supporting evidence. A very shallow study of Thoth. Not recommended for researchers.

I had been looking forward to reading this book due to my interest in the Egyptian God Thoth who some think was a form of the Christ spirit.

However when I got to around page 100 he starts talking about these "legends" that Christ had a kid with Mary Magdalene.

He presents this as fact but a lot of discussion has gone on about these stories recently due to the Da Vinci Code. There is no basis in reality in those legends.

As soon as I read this I felt like I had been punched in the gut. I suspected the evil spirits would start attacking me.

Sure enough around 4:00 AM I could hear them chanting.

I figured I would wait until the morning to throw the book away but they kept making these weird sounds so I had to throw it away immediately.

So I never got past around page 100.

Anyway this guy talks about these legends like they are facts. So I have to assume he does this with other information of questionable value.

For example how likely is it that someone saved the spear that was used to stab Christ on the cross and they still have it ?

About as likely as a snowball in hell.
