This book is a complete handbook about the pyramids of Ancient Egypt during the Pyramid Age.

It contains the locations and dimensions of the interiors and exteriors of the pyramids; it presents the varied theories of construction, purpose, and function of the pyramids; it discusses the sacred geometry that was incorporated into the design of the pyramids; and much, much more.

It is the culmination of fresh, thorough research.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, and iconoclastic contribution to Egyptology, February 7, 2001

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

Now in an updated and expanded second edition, Moustafa Gadalla's Pyramid Handbook is a unique, informative, and iconoclastic contribution to Egyptology with its focus on the pyramids of antiquity. Featured are the locations and dimensions of the interiors and exteriors of the pyramids; varied theories on the construction, purpose, and function of the pyramids; the sacred geometry that was incorporated into the design of the pyramids; and a great deal more. Pyramid Handbook is fresh, original, thorough, scholarly, completely accessible to the non-specialist general reader, and enhanced with useful illustrations of the sites and interiors of the Egyptian masonry pyramids. If you have an interest in Egyptology, the Pyramids, and iconoclastic archaeological studies, read Moustafa Gadalla's Pyramid Handbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything in one easy book, August 14, 2000

By A Customer

This book contains a complete synopsis about the pyramids. Finally, there is a book that gives all the information about the pyramids, their locations, dimensions, profiles, why they were built, and how. The sacred geometry of the pyramids and pyramid power are very interesting. Well researched, and well written.

5.0 out of 5 stars All the guide you need, August 13, 2000

By A Customer

From having traveled to Egypt myself, I can tell you that this is one of the best books on the pyramids I've ever read. If only I had this when I was there, I could have been so much more fullfilled. I was especially interested in the writtings on sacred geometry. I can't wait for for the next time I get a chance to go to Egypt and visit the pyramids armed with Gadalla's book. This is a must own for anyone traveling to Egypt or has ever wanted to know the truth about antient Egypt and the pyramids.
