This is the first book to cover the new landscape of pyramids found worldwide. It describes the changed nature of the pyramid debate and offers science a challenge, but equally tries to answer some of the key messages that the last decade of pyramid discovery has brought us. It is a series of discoveries that has changed the archaeological world and extended all our horizons.
This book essentially states that the 90s until the present era is a new age of realisation of a worldwide culture, if I can use that word, of pyramid builders, pyramids increasingly being discovered everywhere.
Coppens totally redefines what a actually pyramid is. It was immense value and help to me in writing my own book: "In Search of the Origin of Pyramids."
For instance, Coppens shows a picture of an open field, a 3d illusion of a pyramid by different plowing alignments, underneath a sacred mountain. Could be wrong but I believe this book is also syllabus for classes run by Semir Osmanangic. Coppens is sympathetic to Osmanangic' views, as perhaps he should be.
Coppens also mentions that some pyramids are designed to look like the mountains behind them, a fact I never ever read in any other pyramid book. It explained many pictures I took in Ireland and elsewhere.
A good read about obscure pyramids.
