Hmm.. Already knew much of what it covers but this is a wonderful book for those students of the mysteries who are just starting to put the pieces together. It is also a wonderful reference to keep in ones library.

If you've researched the pyramids in any capacity, you've probably heard a lot of the points made in this book. The author claims that the pyramid of Khufu isn't just a tomb but an astrological device, and that due to it being so mathematically precise it would've been highly impractical as a display of one pharaoh's vanity.

The author did found an order of the Rose Cross called "AMORC", this being one of their publications. Therefore I would take anything said with a grain of salt as he often casts a dichotomy between the "initiated" and the "uninitiated" (as these groups tend to do). The book itself seems to be more of a primer or recruitment device of sorts. Mine even came with a fancy bookmark which invited me to come join them if I want to master myself!

But really, it's not a bad book. It's short and does have some insights which people today tend to conflate with ill notions like UFOs or the like. Read this if you want to learn what occultists nearly a century ago had to say about the pyramids.

Mythical Read

While it’s positioned as fact, it really is an incredible set of “facts” that don’t really hold up to modern scholarship. Interesting from the standpoint of myth and perspective, I often found myself shaking my head and wondering where some of the somewhat tortured conclusions come from. Short and easy to read, if this is your thing, you might find it interesting.

I donMt buy that the pyramids predicted every major event in modern history, but everything else was interesting.

Great read

I'd recommend this book to anyone who studies Egyptian history. It is well written and adds more information to the other books in the set.

I randomly grabbed this book off the shelf at the library because it looked old and weird, and I like weird old books. It is old and it is weird, so in that regard I was quite satisfied. It was published by the Ancient Mystical Order Rosae Crucis (AMORC). This was an organization that I'd never heard of, even while I was living within a 45 minute drive of their headquarters in San Jose, so I figured if AMORC still existed, it had never gotten past the eccentric hobby of a handful of people who probably ran a sort of weird bookstore with a smattering of strange artifacts and owned about a bazillion cats. It turns out AMORC has done pretty well for itself, and has a fancy center with a full on museum and secretaries and offices and stuff. Call me a hopeless romantic, but somehow that just made me less endeared to the far-fetched beliefs of Mr. H. Spencer Lewis and his ilk. Oh well. It's just so damned hard to find authentic weirdos these days.

This is an old book and the references to prophecies are somewhat outdated.

The book explains how the Great Pyramid was used for initiations and mystical ceremonies. It says that the King's Chamber was the ultimate initiation chamber and that the pyramid was never meant to be a monument to one person.

Various other things about the Great Pyramid are discussed such as it's geography, its construction and symbolic measurement. The last is fascinating although it could also be explained away as reading into things something that is actually not there.

One of the measurements holds that Jesus was born in 4 BCE which is something other works have noted. There is also a reference to Atlantis survivors and their knowledge. This is also a questionable reference since there is absolutely no physical proof at all that Atlantis every existed.

I think the book would have been improved by making it more up-to-date.
