3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but over-wrought, Jan 11 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Orion Mystery: Unlocking The Secrets of the Pyramids (Paperback)

The story has some very interesting points, some very well researched. But there are some conclusions made which seem illogical and strain plausibility. There are points made which could have simple explanations that have already been offered, yet the authours try to explain them in a different, more circumstancial way, to fit in with their thesis.

There are some very interesting parts and the book contains a large amount of useful information. If you have an open mind (or if you are a conspiracy theorist) there is much too enjoy in this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very interesting theory, but an average book., Mar 25 2002

This review is from: The Orion Mystery: Unlocking the Secrets of the Pyramids (Paperback)

The Orion theory is very compelling and explains a lot of mysteries surrounding the Pyramids. But the book never gets really exciting for the ordinary readers, especially those who are not too familiar with egytological terms and history. There are many illustrations which is good, but they are not always placed on the pages where they are referred to in the text and that makes it a little confusing. I think Bauval should have kept the story more strictly chronological, to make it a better research/detective story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great reading material, Jan 10 2002

This review is from: The Orion Mystery: Unlocking the Secrets of the Pyramids (Paperback)

This book is about a theory that the pyramids of Egypt are alined to the exact positions of the constellation of Orion. The shafts in the pyramid are used as a star clock going back to at least 10450BC using precession. The shafts in the pyramid are alined, pointed towards specific stars. This is a great theory on the pyramids and worth reading.
