Soft Cover. Condition: New. 1997. 384p. Is the Sphinx of prehistoric origin? Why was it built? In thisprovocative, rigorously argued report, revisionist Egyptologists Hancock(The Fingerprints of the Gods) and Bauval (The Orion Mystery) join forcesto answer these questions and more as they examine the Sphinx and itsrelation to the other monuments of the Giza plateau. Working from thepremise that the Giza complex encodes a message, they begin with recentlydiscovered geological evidence indicating that the deep erosion patternson the flanks of the Sphinx were caused by 1000 years of heavy rain. Suchconditions last existed in Egypt at the end of the last ice age, about10,000-9,000 B.C., meaning that the Sphinx may be more than 12,000 yearsold (not the generally accepted 4500 years). The authors go on to suggest,using computer simulations of the sky, that the pyramids, representing thethree stars of Orion's Belt, along with associated causeways andalignments, constitute a record in stone of the celestial array at thevernal equinox in 10,500 B.C. This moment, they contend, represents ZepTepi, the "First Time," often referred to in the hieroglyphic record. Theyshow how the initiation rituals of the Egyptian pharaohs replicate onEarth the sun's journey through the stars in this remote era, and theysuggest that the "Hall of Records" of a lost civilization may be locatedby treating the Giza Plateau as a template of these same ancient skies.These daring, well-argued theories will raise the hackles of orthodoxEgyptologists, but that doesn't mean they're wrong.

"Guardian of the ancient mysteries, the keeper of secrets .For thousands of years the Great Sphinx of Egypt has gazed toward the east, its eyes focused on eternity, reading a message in the stars that mankind has long forgotten. And today, as our civilization stands poised at the end of a great cycle, it is a message that beckons insistently to be understood. All the clues are in place. Geology and archeo-astronomy have already indicated that the lion-bodied Sphinx may be vastly older than Egyptologists currently believe, dated not from 2500 B.C., but from 10,500 B.C. -- the beginning of the astrological Age of Leo. And we now know that the three pyramids of Giza, standing on high ground half a mile to the west of the Sphinx, are in fact a precise map of the three stars of Orion's belt, formed in 15 million tons of solid stone. Are these monuments trying tell us something? And, if so, what? In The Message of the Sphinx, Robert Bauval, author of The Orion Mystery, and Graham Hancock, author of Figerprints of the Gods, present a tour de force of hsitorical and scientific detective work that unravels the millennial code embodied in these sturctures. Using sophisticated computer simulations of ancient skies, they unravel the riddle of the Sphinx, and they present a startling new theory concerning the enigmatic Pyramid Texts and other archaic Egyptian scriptures. These texts serve as an ingenious treasure trail, and as the authors reveal, a covert treasure hunt has been undererway for the last twenty years at the pyramids and the Sphinx -- a hunt involving senior Egyptologists, high government officials, and a wealthy esoteric organization behind the scenes. What are they looking for? What is contained in the rectangular chamber that seismic surveys have located in the bedrock far below the paws of the Sphinx? What lies behind the mysterious door recently discovered at the end of a previously unexplored shaft deep inside the Great Pyramid? And does mankind have a rendezvous with destiny -- a rendezvous not in the future, but in the distant past, at a precise place and time? The secrets can be kept no longer. The Message of the Sphinx brings them to light." -- from the inner front jacket flap.
