Synopsis:

For thousands of years the Great Sphinx of Egypt has gazed towards the east, reading a message in the stars that mankind has long forgotten. This work considers geological and archaeo-astronomical evidence that suggests that the Sphinx may be a great deal older than Egyptologists believe. It has also become clear that the three enormous pyramids of the Giza plateau, half a mile to the west of the Sphinx, are not the tombs of megalomaniac Pharaohs but a precise map of the stars of Orion's Belt.

About the Author: Robert Bauval is a construction engineer with a long-standing interest in the astronomy of the pyramids, having lived in Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East for much of his life. The Orion Mystery was his first book. Graham Hancock is a former East African correspondent for The Economist and has travelled widely around the world. He is the author of Fingerprints of the Gods, The Sign and the Seal and Lords of Poverty.
