Book excerpt: The pyramids of Egypt have remained one of the oldest and most puzzling mysteries of mankind. Until now, no one, Egyptologists included, has satisfactorily explained how the pyramids were built. The traditional theory explaining that long lines of workers hoisted and dragged massive blocks up enormous ramps does not adequately address the hazards and complexities that make such an operation highly unlikely, especially since hundreds of the largest blocks in the pyramids are situated at great heights. The uncanny fit of blocks, as close as 1/500th of an inch, puzzles Egyptologists. Hard metals, such as iron and bronze, were not yet developed to produce good stone-cutting tools. Logistical problems of constructing the Great Pyramid are staggering and have never been reconciled; the scale and perfection is too grand. During the 20-year reign of the pharaoh who built it, about 2 1/2 million blocks were produced and perfectly assembled. As scientific methods of investigation become more sophisticated, the list of enigmas lengthens and more questions are raised than answered. Dr. Joseph Davidovits, research chemist and founder of the chemistry of geopolymerization, has solved the mystery. He has recovered the great, forgotten technology used to build the pyramids. His discovery is so dramatic and far reaching in scope that major aspects of ancient history will require rethinking. This technology and proof of its use in ancient Egypt are vividly and convincingly presented in the Pyramids: An Enigma Solved. Our concept of ancient Egypt will never be the same! -- Dust jacket.

Book excerpt: “The mystery of the pyramids is solved before our eyes” in this illustrated YA guide to their construction by the Caldecott Medal-winning author (Kirkus). In Pyramid, acclaimed author and illustrator David Macaulay explores the construction of ancient Egyptian pyramids from the initial planning stages to the methods used to lift stones up to the structure’s highest level. Through concise text and richly detailed black and white illustrations your readers are introduced not only to ancient Egyptian engineering, tools, and labor practices, but also the philosophy of life, death, and afterlife that made these awe-inspiring monuments necessary as a pharaoh’s final resting place. "Macaulay's brilliant Pyramid shows, detail by detail, how the great pharaohs' burial places were conceived and constructed… His draftsmanship is unexcelled, and his book is pharaonic in opulence and design."—Time

Book excerpt: EGYPTIAN ARCHAEOLOGY / EGYPTOLOGY. The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and the only one that has withstood the test of time. For centuries people have studied this enigmatic structure, trying to understand its true significance; ancient Egyptian pyramids are generally still considered tombs for deceased pharaohs. After extensive research Willem Witteveen connects data from his own findings with that of other researchers, resulting in groundbreaking conclusions about the true function of the Great Pyramid and its place in history. The Greek mathematician Pythagoras stated: All is number. The American prophet Edgar Cayce claimed: Sound is the medicine of the future, and the late Egyptian wisdom-keeper Abd el Hakim Awyan always said: It is all about sound. Willem Witteveen proves that all these men were right and that what we now regard as ground-breaking and new often originated in ancient Egypt, well before the first Egyptian dynasties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost 5000 years, the pyramids and similar structures in Mexico and Cambodia have taunted scholars with their cryptic secrets and astronomical significance--who built these world wonders and how? Buried in ancient Hebrew texts, undiscovered and largely ignored by scholars, lies a wealth of information about a mysterious and little known race of giants, called the Nephilim--sons of God who coupled with mortals, and their children--the true builders of the pyramids and other great monuments of ancient history. The true identity of the builders is only half the story--by scientifically examining age-old prophecies, author Patrick Heron was able to discover the true purpose of the pyramids. His astonishing findings, thoroughly and engagingly explained in The Nephilim and the Pyramid of the Apocalypse, address the importance of the pyramids and their significance in predicting the coming Apocalypse. These pyramids hold the answer to the question man has been asking since the beginning of time: when and how will the world end? It may be sooner than you think.

Book excerpt: This short but revealing biography tells the story of Kurt Mendelssohn FRS, one of the founding figures in the field of cryogenics, from his beginnings in Berlin through his move to Oxford in the 1930s, and his groundbreaking work in low temperature and solid state physics. He set up the first helium liquefier in the United Kingdom, and did fundamental research that increased our understanding of superconductivity and superfluid helium. Dr. Mendelssohn's vision extended beyond his scientific and technical achievements; he saw the potential for growth of cryogenics in industry, visiting China, Japan and India to forge global collaborations, founded the leading scientific journal in the field and established a conference series which still runs to this day. He published two monographs which remain as classics in the field. This book explores the story behind the science, in particular his relationships with other key figures in the cryogenics field, most notably Nicholas Kurti at Oxford, and his work outside cryogenics, including his novel ideas on the engineering of the pyramids.

Again I was forced to silence through sheer awe. The prospect of such antiquity, and the secrets each hoary monument seemed to hold and brood over, filled me with a reverence and sense of immensity nothing else ever gave me.Fatigued by our climb, and disgusted with the importunate Bedouins whose actions seemed to defy every rule of taste, we omitted the arduous detail of entering the cramped interior passages of any of the pyramids, though we saw several of the hardiest tourists preparing for the suffocating crawl through Cheops' mightiest memorial. As we dismissed and overpaid our local bodyguard and drove back to Cairo with Abdul Reis under the afternoon sun, we half regretted the omission we had made. Such fascinating things were whispered about lower pyramid passages not in the guide books; passages whose entrances had been hastily blocked up and concealed by ce...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having worked on projects around the world, strengthening and restoring historically significant structures from Windsor Castle to the parliament buildings in Canada, Peter James brings insight to the structural engineering of ancient Egypt. After fourteen years working on the historic buildings and temples of Egypt, and most recently the world’s oldest pyramid, he now presents some of the more common theories surrounding the ‘collapsing’ pyramid – along with new and innovative projections on the construction of the pyramids and the restoration of some of Cairo’s most monumental structures from the brink of ruin. The decoding of historic construction from a builder’s perspective is examined and explained – at times against many existing theories – and the book provides a new outlook on long-held assumptions, to embrace modern theories in a bid to preserve the past.
