Already a number one best-seller in Britain, The Orion Mystery is the
story of a secret, hidden for thousands of years, that will forever
change our understanding of the meaning and purpose of the most
fascinating wonder of the ancient world: the Pyramids of Egypt. 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.
