Objective analysis of the origins of the great pyramid

One of the better books I have read dealing with the possible origins of the great pyramid. It is ojective and candidly written, and covers the many extant theories of the pyramid's origins in good detail. Also good coverage of the probable measures used by the original architect, with measured speculation on the possible encoded meanings embodied in the various dimensions. Compelling arguments for alternative uses of the pyramid (e.g. as an astronomical observatory) during and after its construction. This book has certainly fueled my imagination to a greater extent than any other book written about the great pyramid.

A Real Education

This is easily one of the most fascinating and engagine books I've ever read. This book also started a voyage of discovery for me. Tompkins explores the validity of the assumptions of the best known Pyramid researches, as well as their often sad motives and methods. At the heart of the book is Tompkins revelations about what these researchers believed, and why.

Hints of how the pyramid was constructed and astronomically aligned are included, and fascinating parallels between the grand gallery and druidic observatories are also detailed. Allusions to Freemasonry and other spiritual veins are also quite fascinating, as are the mathematical secrets hidden in the Pyramid. Sacred Geometry is also discussed and is quite interesting.

I can't recommend this book too highly.
