1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing

I had high hopes for this book because of the title, but was quickly disappointed when the author says he tried to get it published for over a decade and then finally self published it. A few pages later he says, “I purposely ignore the mathematical and astronomical correlations that have been claimed for the Great Pyramids.” How rediculous to throw out all scientific thought to promote his far-fetched ideas.



I forced myself to read half the book, then skimmed some of the rest. In intelligent and scientific books, the author does not use first person pronouns so often. There is too much boring and repetitive parts. His theory is stretch so thin it becomes rediculous.



There is no proof presented. It’s all his ideas. From pages 18 to 23, let me list words and phrases that show how unproven this is: apparently, probably, perhaps, may have been, may have been, might have been, may have reminded them, may represent, was probably, is entirely possible, perhaps, it may seem obvious, there seems to have been, it may be, could be considered, sound to me like, may refer to, referring perhaps, is probably, it sounds to me like, may refer, sounds here like, are probably. It is the whole book is written. Now that’s a lot of uncertainty and conjecture in a book that is trying to prove something.



Yet the author says on page 4, “Who should read this book? Anyone who is intellectually courageous. Anyone who wants some clarity on some of the fundamental questions of our age. Anyone who wants to understand the beginnings of religion and science. This book could be used in a class on critical thinking, comparative religions, anthropology, psychology or the history of science and religion...” Not this book!



I wasted money on this book. It is going in the trash.
