Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pyramids and Progress Ooks upon Egypt are numerous, but for good ones there is still plenty of room. The country and its people are changing rapidly; even the climate, it is said, is sharing in the general movement, and writers are needed to record not only what is passing away but also what is taking its place. Nowhere else in the world can we find the past and the present ranged as it were SO closely side by side or so incongruously mingled together. The newest agricultural steam engine from Europe is driven by a fellah, whose brother works the neighbouring field with the mattock of the Pharaohs, and the electric tram in Cairo hurries past street corners and scenes of life which transport us to the days of the Arabian Nights. The Pyramids look down Upon one Of the most comfortable and luxurious of modern hotels, and the fragment of a vase that was made in the reign of Khufu lies in the desert sand by the Side Of an empty sardine tin. The soil and climate of Egypt are more conservative than its inhabitants; the latter are beginning to change, at all events outwardly, under the influences of the English Occupation, but the monuments of the past retain all their pristine fresh ness and colouring, in a land where there is neither frost nor rain, if only the friendly sand conceal them from the destructive hand of man.

Book excerpt: The Egyptologist acclaimed for re-dating the Great Sphinx at Giza sets his sights on one of the true mysteries of antiquity: the Great Pyramid of Giza. What is the Great Pyramid of Giza? Ask that basic question of a traditional Egyptologist, and you get the basic, traditional answer: a fancy tombstone for a self-important pharaoh of the Old Kingdom. This, Egyptologists argue, is the sole finding based on the data, and the only deduction supported by science. 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"? In Pyramid Quest, 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.
