Description
The Great Pyramid Hoax: The Conspiracy to Conceal the True History of Ancient Egypt The origins of the Great Pyramid of Giza remain shrouded in mystery, despite its fame spanning millennia. The construction date of around 2550 BCE is tied to a single piece of evidence: the crudely painted marks within the pyramid's hidden chambers, discovered in 1837. These "quarry marks" refer to the 4th Dynasty king Khufu, but their authenticity has been questioned. Using evidence from the time of the discovery, including surveys, facsimile drawings, and private field notes, Scott Creighton reveals how and why the marks were faked. He examines the anomalous and contradictory orthography of the quarry marks, showing how they depart from the established canon of quarry marks from this period. By analyzing the marks and their context, Creighton sheds new light on the Great Pyramid's history and the conspiracy to conceal its true story. High-definition photos and illustrations accompany Creighton's investigation, providing a detailed look at the quarry marks and their anomalies. This book offers a fresh perspective on one of the world's most enduring mysteries, and is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in ancient history and the secrets of the Great Pyramid.
