Breaking the Mirror of Heaven

“This is a book that needed to be written . . . and I can’t imagine a better writing team to have taken on the challenge. Robert Bauval and Ahmed Osman have expertly untangled the history of the Egyptian Antiquities Organization, in all its guises, and successfully exposed the trauma of the Zahi Hawass years. This is a story that should be read by all those interested in Egyptology and everyone who cares passionately about Egypt . . . a tour de force in modern historical investigation.” * David Rohl, Egyptologist, historian, broadcaster, and author of A Test of Time *
“Breaking the Mirror of Heaven is a hugely important book. In a time when we can all see ‘the rise of idiot experts,’ this book focuses our attention on the political games that are played with the honest interpretation of our past. Self-serving individuals seek to bury new information by pretending that claimed academic rank outweighs cold evidence. Bravo, Robert and Ahmed, for such a delightful and persuasive blow for reason.” * Christopher Knight, coauthor of The Hiram Key and Civilization One *
“Clearing cultural and historical distortions, the authors reveal the long hidden and persecuted voice of ancient Egypt and call for the return of Egypt to its rightful place as ‘the Mirror of Heaven’.” * Atlantis Rising, August 2012 *
“Bauval and Osman’s Breaking the Mirror of Heaven (‘Mirror of Heaven’ is the name given to Egypt by Hermes-Thoth) is not just about Hawass and his monumental ego and failings; it is an attempt to reveal the truth about the desecration of artifacts over the centuries, the effects of foreign rule, the suppression of ‘pagan’ wisdom, the Freemasonry-inspired Napoleonic invasion, and the political power plays in the post-war era from Nasser to Mubarak that continue morphing to this day.” * Nexus Magazine, December 2012 *
“Prolific writers with in-depth knowledge of ancient Egypt, Robert Bauval and Ahmed Osman have teamed up to produce a scathing indictment of former Egyptian Minister of Antiquities Zahi Hawass.” * Alan Glassman, New Dawn, December 2012 *
“Due to Robert Bauval’s influence, as well as that of many other great authors, false beliefs on the origins of civilization will be studied well into the future. The observations and approaches in Bauval’s books are dazzling.” * Javier Sierra, New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Angel and The Secret Supper *
“Egyptology has lied to us for too long. Now a meticulous investigation by two top authors reveals the disturbing truth. This book is dynamite.” * Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the Gods *
