Keeper Of Genesis cover

This compelling exploration reveals a new theory about ancient Egyptian scriptures and the monumental designs of the Great Sphinx and pyramids, as presented in Keeper of Genesis.

In Keeper of Genesis, authors Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval embark on an intriguing journey that intertwines history and science. They utilize advanced computer simulations to explore the ancient skies, aiming to decode the monumental inscriptions of Egyptian civilization. This groundbreaking work proposes a new theory concerning the Pyramid Texts and other ancient Egyptian scriptures, challenging conventional understandings of these historical artifacts.

The book delves into profound questions about the origins of civilization in Egypt, examining the design of the Great Sphinx and the three pyramids of Giza. Hancock and Bauval suggest that these iconic structures were intentionally crafted to represent an immense three-dimensional model of the sky during the era known as 'First Time.' Their investigative approach reveals the mysteries surrounding a rectangular chamber located beneath the Sphinx and the enigmatic doors discovered within the Great Pyramid, prompting readers to consider the implications of these findings.

Keeper of Genesis reads like a captivating detective story, inviting readers to actively engage with the authors' theories and evidence. As they navigate through historical and scientific challenges, Hancock and Bauval encourage a reevaluation of humanity's past, suggesting that our destiny may be intricately linked to events that occurred long before our recorded history. This book promises to shift perspectives and inspire curiosity about the ancient world and its secrets.
