What purpose did these massive structures, one of the largest construction projects ever undertaken, serve? Why were they scattered across the desert in a seemingly random pattern? The pyramid mystery deepened when, in 1993, researcher Rudolf Gantenbrink discovered a secret door within the Great Pyramid~a door unopened for 4,500 years. Robert Bauval has spent the last ten years investigating the pyramids themselves and the Pyramid Texts, the oldest writings known to mankind. He and Adrian Gilbert have uncovered, for the first time, the key to the plan that governed the construction of the pyramids. They reveal that, much more than just tombs, the pyramids were nothing less than a replica of Heaven on Earth. With great astronomical precision, they were created to serve as the Pharaohs' gateway to the stars. Dramatic and compelling, The Orion Mystery leads us step~by~step through these remarkable discoveries. It will be hailed as a historic achievement by all who are intrigued by the world's ancient mysteries. ROBERT BAUVAL was born in Egypt in 1948. A construction engineer, he has had a long~standing interest in Egyptology, having lived in Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East for much of his life. In the 1980s he developed a line of study linking the pyramids and the commonly called Pyramid Texts with astronomy. He has published several papers on this subject, and his findings have been presented at the British Museum. The Orion Mystery is his first book. Robin Cook; Robert Bauval (illustratore). …
