4.0 out of 5 stars
Awe inspiring, if a little complicated ...., 10 Dec 2000
By A Customer
As a relative novice (with half a brain) to the whole investigation of Secret Chambers and the dating of the plateau's conception/completion, I feel open minded enough to comment on Mr Bauval's in-depth guide and 'initiation'. Mr Bauval expertly raises expectation in Part 1 of this book, carving a rugged path through a rich history of esoteric belief, Hermetic theory and what we commonly call 'history'. A fine balance is maintained between fact, both mathematical and historical, and that which is yet to be proven. Part 1 is, for any (a)gnostic out there, packed with necessary and enthralling reading. Part 2 however, sees Mr Bauval possibly dwell too heavily on clarifying his own position with regard to the release of the Secret Chamber Scoop to the press. I for one have nothing but respect for the work that Mr Bauval, JA West, and G Hancock have done in bringing to our attention the closed-minded attitudes, alterior motives and 'golden handshakes' that have prevented truely interested people like myself from being kept informed. Moreover, I, based on the mathematical, geological and astronomical evidence that they have so CAREFULLY and OPENLY presented in their works, am a strong supporter of their theories. The lengthy proof of his role in this affair was not necessary to us as readers enquiring about the likelihood of a Chamber and what mindblowing things may be held therein. The last quarter of the book sees the author get back in the saddle, laying down a pattern of theory and evidence that we have come to expect from this obvious authority on the Giza Plateau. Read this book and await further installments.
