Synopsis

""Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid"" is a book written by Charles Piazzi Smyth, a Scottish astronomer and Egyptologist. The book is a detailed exploration of the Great Pyramid of Giza, one of the most iconic structures in the world. Smyth's aim is to prove that the pyramid was not just a tomb for the Pharaohs, but also a repository of scientific and mathematical knowledge that was passed down to us from ancient times. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of the pyramid. Smyth begins by describing the pyramid's physical features and dimensions, and then delves into its history and construction. He also discusses the various theories that have been put forward to explain the pyramid's purpose, and presents his own ideas on the matter. One of the most fascinating aspects of the book is Smyth's exploration of the pyramid's mathematical and astronomical properties. He argues that the pyramid was designed to encode a wealth of scientific knowledge, including the value of pi, the length of the year, and the dimensions of the earth. Smyth also examines the pyramid's alignment with various celestial bodies, and suggests that it was used as an astronomical observatory. Throughout the book, Smyth draws on his expertise in astronomy and mathematics to provide a detailed and convincing analysis of the pyramid's secrets. He also provides numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand his arguments. ""Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid"" is a must-read for anyone interested in ancient Egypt, astronomy, or mathematics. It is a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of one of the world's most enigmatic structures, and is sure to inspire readers to think differently about the history of human knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
