This, Egyptologists argue, is the sole finding based on the data, and the only deduction supported by science.</p><p>By implication, anyone who dissents from this point of view is unscientific and woolly-minded-a believer in magic and ghosts. Indeed, some of the unconventional ideas about the Great Pyramid do have a spectacularly fabulous ring to them. Yet from beneath the obvious terms of this controversy, a deeper, more significant question arises: how is it that the Great Pyramid exercises such a gripping hold on the human psyche- adding cryptic grace to the back of the one-dollar bill and framing myriad claims of New Age "pyramid power"?</p><p>In <em>Pyramid Quest</em>, Robert M. Schoch and Robert Aquinas McNally use the rigorous intellectual analysis of scientific inquiry to investigate what we know about the Great Pyramid, and develop a stunning hypothesis: This ancient monument is the strongest proof yet that civilization began thousands of years earlier than is generally thought, extending far back into a little-known time. In tracing that story, we come to understand not only the Great Pyramid but also our own origins as civilized beings.</p>...3931078Pyramid Quest269374https://www.gandhi.com.mx/pyramid-quest-9781101143667/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3391625/b60b10e0-e680-4814-90f7-5ec0e5eb5912.jpg?v=638385307988100000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20059781101143667_W3siaWQiOiIyZGMzZWI1YS05MTBhLTRmYjktYTIyMS03OGEyNzMzMDg2NDIiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjM1MCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjk4LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjI1MiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDItMDVUMDQ6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781101143667_<p><strong>The Egyptologist acclaimed for re-dating the Great Sphinx at</strong> <strong>Giza</strong> <strong>sets his sights on one of the true mysteries of antiquity: the Great Pyramid of Giza.</strong></p><p>What is the Great Pyramid of Giza?
