Pyramids are now being found almost everywhere: in 1994 in China; then in Caral, in Peru, Southern America; then in Northern Italy and in 2005 in Bosnia. Despite their prevalence, massive pyramids remain as mysterious and controversial as ever. Though Egyptologists continue to argue that the Egyptian pyramids are tombs, no bodies have ever been discovered in them. None of the other pyramids are tombs either. Apart from the Mayan pyramids, which are much more recent, all pyramids are similar in shape, size and age. Does this mean that each culture developed this rather unique shape on its own, or does it mean that there was a truly global movement - somewhere around 3000 BC? This is the first book to explore the new landscape of pyramids found worldwide. It describes the changed nature of the pyramid debate and offers science a challenge, but equally tries to answer some of the key questions raised during the last decade of pyramid discovery. It is a series of discoveries that has changed the archaeological world and extended all our horizons.

It is about time that we were told the next step in the great Pyramid mystery, here we have it. Current thinking is challenged as the well qualified author looks at the bigger picture, how refreshing. Stretch your thinking and think outside of the box - this book will expand your understanding and answer a few questions along the way. History may well have to be rewritten.

The New Pyramid Age
7 Feb 2010
By Mr. Robert J. Simpson
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Coppens is obviously on top of his subject matter and his criticisms of the traditional approach to pyramids are well founded. His argument for a `New Pyramid Age' is sound. From what I have read in Coppens' book, and others, we need to revisit, and rethink, pyramids. Coppens is no doubt correct in his approach and is prepared to think outside the box.
