According to the Map presents an interpretation of the design of the pyramids at Giza as a map and a message. Three levels of abstraction will be employed to argue the pyramids map frameworks upon which phenomenology, psychology, and ontology reveal themselves as fundamental to our understanding of the human situation. The perspective of the presentation is phenomenology.
The map also represents a more fundamental conceptual geometry that could only have been designed by someone with knowledge of the multidimensionality of the cosmos and quantum physics, which means there are essentially two messages encoded in the map: there's a message about humanity's situation the deciphered map illustrates, and there's a message regarding the map's authorship. The map is presented as extraterrestrial in origin because if we're right about its meaning, no other explanation seems likely.
The book contains thirty four illustrations. The target audience is popular science.
Excerpt from the Preface:
"We're not suggesting someone other than ancient Egyptians built the pyramids, nor are we questioning the ability of an ancient civilization to accumulate sufficient knowledge and experience required to engineer a structure as spectacular as the Great Pyramid. What's suspect is the assumption that ancient Egyptians accumulated enough knowledge about cosmic multidimensionality, temporal dynamics, and organismic development to enable them to encode a map - accomplished by combining all three bodies of knowledge - for the purpose of inviting interpretations of the map as insight into human nature, which means the designer of the map must have known about interpretations of specific situations in phenomenology, psychology, and ontology representing interrelated articulations of a generic situation. Needless to say, the knowledge requirements would have been a tall order for an ancient civilization. ...
The first three chapters of the book are dedicated to interpreting the generic situation represented by the pyramids as a phenomenological situation: Chapter one starts by outlining an approach that allows a generic situation we observe to be interpreted as a specific situation we understand. Chapter two uses the approach of chapter one and the second level of abstraction to interpret the generic situation as perception of (an object) - a good start but not a complete interpretation. Consciousness is introduced in chapter three to complete the interpretation of the generic situation as a phenomenological situation we can describe as consciousness of (perception of (an object)). In chapter three, objective consciousness is presented as the actualization of potential represented by subjective perception of (an object) contingent on the object being observed as it appears in the now. The chapter concludes with additional insight into the relationship between consciousness and perception provided by the Great Pyramid. The Great Pyramid brings the presentation full circle by revealing compelling evidence supporting the interpretation of the pyramid complex as a map. By the end of chapter three, it will be hard to deny the design of the pyramids could be extraterrestrial in origin.
Finally, the author uses chapter four to recollect how the seeds of research responsible for the sidelight this book represents were sown. It's a personal perspective.
No matter how much evidence we provide, some will have difficulty accepting the design of the pyramids as the encoding of a message of extraterrestrial origin. The reasons for this reluctance range from understandable to disappointing. Nevertheless, we have a dilemma: suggesting an ancient civilization achieved the insight required to encode state of the art knowledge in the manner we propose is as hard to believe as suggesting an extraterrestrial source of that knowledge. ..."
