The Origin and Significance of the Great Pyramid

by C. Staniland Wake, Paul Tice (Introduction)

One of the most profound mysteries of the world towers above the desert sands of Egypt -- the Great Pyramid. Who built this amazing monument and why? When was the work completed? Wake offers a deeper understanding of the pyramid involving spiritual, mathematical, astronomical, astrological and religious areas of study. He also draws interesting connections between the pyramid and serpent worship, and may have been the first researcher to point out that no evidence exists for the Great Pyramid to have ever been a tomb, despite repeated references in our textbooks. A classic study now back in print.
