About this Item

A Near Fine unmarked copy with age toning to closed edges with Very Good dustjacket. 362 pages. 74 illustrations. Third reprint same year as first edition. For thousands of years the Great Sphinx of Egypt has gazed towards the east, his eyes focused on eternity, reading a message in the stars that mankind has long forgotten. And today, as our civilisation stands poised at the end of a great cycle, it is a message that beckons insistently to be understood. All the clues are in place. Geology and archeo-astronomy have already indicated that the lion-bodied Sphinx may be vastly older than Egyptologists currently believe, dating not from 2500 BC, but from 10,500 BC - the beginning of the astrological Age of Leo. We now know too, that the three pyramids of Giza are not merely the tombs of megalomaniac Pharaohs but form a precise map of the three stars of Orion's belt in 15 million tons of solid stone. So is someone trying to tell us something? And if so what? 13**** Not a Book Club Copy **** Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

About this title

Synopsis

When and where did history begin? When was the genesis of civilization in Egypt? These and other questions are explored in this book, which theorizes about man's destiny, not in the future but in the past.

Review

"The book reads like a detective story, with the reader enthusiastically trying to outguess the writers" (Literary Review)

"Keeper of Genesis is an exciting book, highly topical and deservedly a best-seller" (Spectator)

"The trick is to keep reading. Start the book in the early evening and continue uninterrupted until you complete it in the small hours. The effect is wonderful... Your entire world view has been shifted a hundred yards to the right. You fall asleep thinking that nothing will ever be the same again" (Sunday Telegraph)
