The Orion Mystery: Unlocking the Secrets of the Pyramids
Written by Robert Bauval & Adrian Gilbert

THE LONG-HIDDEN STORY OF A SECRET THAT WILL FOREVER CHANGE OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE MOST FASCINATING WONDER OF THE ANCIENT WORLD: THE PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT.

What purpose did these massive structures—one of the largest construction projects ever undertaken—serve? Why were they scattered across the desert in a seemingly random pattern? The pyramid mystery deepened in 1993 when Rudulf Gantenbrink discovered a secret door in the Great Pyramid—a door unopened for 4,500 years.

Robert Bauval has spent the last ten years investigating the pyramids themselves and the Pyramid Texts, the oldest writings known to mankind. He and Adrian Gilbert have uncovered for the first time the key to the plan that governed the construction of the pyramids. They reveal that the pyramids were much more than just tombs: they were nothing less than a replica of heaven on earth. With great astronomical precision, the pyramids were created to serve the pharoahs' gateway to the stars.

Dramatic and compelling, The Orion Mystery leads us step-by-step through these remarkable discoveries. The book will be hailed as a historic achievement by all who are intrigued by the world's ancient mysteries.
