Bauval will be remembered, perhaps forever, for bring the Orion Correlation theory to the world. This book is sober, but it's been all downhill with the theory since there. Alternative history has run amok with the theory, but it does make sense. Look at it! ( )

Even though some parts of his theories may be shown to be incorrect - all merit careful study & review. This is not 'new age' or 'beings from space' stuff. His observations are exact and accepted by many astronomers. Egyptologists must leave their pride behind and work openly with the other sciences. We constantly are forced to rewrite the history of the 20th Century based on new observations and discoveries. Why should we think that we have no need to do the same for things that happened over 4 millennia ago? ( )

Fascinating, but a little nuts. ( )

Epigraph
The skies have been the mover of [man's] science for millennia, they are his hopes and dreams of tomorrow; nowhere is the vision of the first men who carved their thoughts on stone so fully displayed as in the tombs of Egypt. -Jane B. Sellers, THE DEATHS OF GODS IN ANCIENT EGYPT
