Synopsis
""Our Inheritance In The Great Pyramid"" is a book written by Charles Piazzi Smyth, a British astronomer and Egyptologist, in 1864. The book explores the author's theories and observations regarding the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, which he believed was designed and built with divine inspiration and purpose.Smyth's work is divided into three main parts, each of which delves into a different aspect of the Great Pyramid. Part one examines the structure and measurements of the pyramid, including its base, height, and internal chambers. Part two explores the pyramid's symbolism and religious significance, drawing connections between its design and various ancient religious beliefs. Part three discusses the pyramid's potential as a scientific tool, particularly in relation to astronomy and geodesy.Throughout the book, Smyth argues that the Great Pyramid was not simply a tomb for a pharaoh, but rather a complex and multifaceted structure with a deeper purpose. He suggests that the pyramid's precise measurements and alignment with celestial bodies were intentional, and that they hold important clues about the nature of the universe and humanity's place within it.""Our Inheritance In The Great Pyramid"" was a controversial work in its time, and continues to be debated by scholars and enthusiasts today. Despite its age, the book remains a fascinating exploration of one of the world's most enigmatic and mysterious structures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
