Description
Keeper of Genesis is a historical and scientific detective work that explores the origins of history and the design of ancient Egyptian monuments. Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval present a new theory of the Pyramid Texts and other archaic Egyptian scriptures, using sophisticated computer simulations of the ancient skies to crack the millennial code.
The authors examine the Great Sphinx and the three pyramids of Giza, proposing that they were designed to serve as parts of an immense three-dimensional model of the sky. They also investigate the rectangular chamber located in the bedrock beneath the paws of the sphinx and the mysterious doors discovered at the end of a previously unexplored shaft inside the Great Pyramid.
By shedding new light on these ancient structures, Hancock and Bauval challenge readers to consider the possibility of a rendezvous with destiny in the distant past, at a precise place and time.
