Book Description
Edgar Cayce, the "sleeping prophet" predicted a century ago that records from Atlantis will be found somewhere under the Great Sphinx in Egypt. Independent researcher and author Manu Seyfzadeh takes the reader on an investigative journey to ancient Egypt to explore what it is the ancient Egyptians had to say about this in their own writings. The trail begins with an unusual painting that presents a paradox of history related to the sky. In pursuit of its origin, myth and reality begin to converge leading from the City of Thoth back to the Great Sphinx. The evidence leads to a stunning conclusion: What was under the Sphinx was opened a long time ago. What was taken was a legacy by one no one could have expected and laid the seed of civilization into its cradle by the River Nile.

House of Eternity
Author: John K. McDonald
Publisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 0892364157
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
Nefertari, the favorite queen of Rameses II, was buried about 3,200 years ago in the most exquisitely decorated tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Queens. Discovered in 1904 by Italian explorer Ernesto Schiaparelli, the tomb had deteriorated to a disastrous extent when emergency consolidation began in 1986. The six-year conservation project of the GCI and the Egyptian Antiquities Organization was completed in 1992. In this fascinating exploration of the tomb, John McDonald takes the reader through each chamber, describing the hieroglyphic messages depicted in the brilliant wall paintings and discussing the images within the context of Egyptian beliefs. He also offers insights into the life of Nefertari, the development and symbolism of royal tombs, and the construction and decoration of the tombs. House of Eternity is illustrated with historic black-and-white images and more recent color photographs that reveal the vibrant beauty of the wall paintings. In November 1995 the tomb was reopened to the public. Because of the potential for damage and deterioration to the fragile wall paintings caused by increased humidity, carbon dioxide, and microbiological activity introduced by visitors to the tomb, the number permitted to enter daily is strictly controlled by the Egyptian authorities. This book results from a desire of the GCI to enrich visitors' experience by providing a detailed descriptive walk-through of the tomb while conveying a strong message regarding the need for conservation and continuous monitoring to ensure the long-term survival of the tomb's paintings. Visitors to the tomb and the armchair traveler alike will find House of Eternity to be an excellent resource for understanding Nefertari's journey to the afterlife and for appreciating the extraordinary depictions of that journey on the walls of Nefertari's tomb.

Architecture, Astronomy and Sacred Landscape in Ancient Egypt
Author: Giulio Magli
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107032083
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Most of the "wonders" of our ancient past have come down to us unencumbered by written information. In particular, this is the case of the Great Pyramid of Giza and of many other ancient Egyptian monuments. However, there is no doubt as to the interest of their builders in the celestial cycles: the "cosmic order" was indeed the true basis of the pharaoh's power. This book takes the reader on a chronological journey through ancient Egypt to explore the relationship between astronomy, landscape, and power during the most flourishing periods of ancient Egyptian civilization. Using the lens of archaeoastronomy, Giulio Magli reexamines the key monuments and turning points of Egyptian architecture and history, such as the solar deification of King Khufu, builder of the Great Pyramid, the Hatshepsut reign, and the Amarna revolution.
