Synopsis

A monumental study of the Great Pyramid that blends science and history
This fourth, greatly enlarged edition collects the most important discoveries about the Great Pyramid up to its publication. It offers maps, plans, elevations, and detailed measurements to illuminate the structure’s design and meaning.

Author Piazzi Smyth applies practical surveying and astronomical techniques to reveal precise exterior and interior details. The work argues for a purposeful, mathematically grounded interpretation of the monument that goes beyond traditional Egyptology, presenting a view of the pyramid as a milestone in ancient science and prophetic purpose.

• Extensive diagrams and measured data that support the book’s claims about the pyramid’s layout and proportions


• Discussion of British and universal metrology as they relate to the great structure


• Historical context linking the pyramid to broader ancient and prophetic ideas


• Insights into the author’s fieldwork, instruments, and the process of measurement in Egypt

Ideal for readers who enjoy rigorous, data‑driven exploration of one of the world’s most famous monuments, and for those curious about the intersection of science, history, and belief.

But Academic Archaeology did not accept it; and meanwhile some portions of the new pathway were so little removed from much of my oavu scientific professional occupations, that I felt it something like a public duty to examine into the foundation of Mr. Taylor's theory as rigidly and extensively as I could, though by home work only, at first; and my publication of 18G4 (i.e., the first edition of the present book) contained the findings so
