The Orion Mystery: Unlocking the Secrets of the Pyramids Paperback - 1995

by Robert Bauval; Adrian Gilbert

For over 2,000 years, the grandeur and mystery of the pyramids have awed and intrigued the world. This fascinating archaeological detective story explains the most enigmatic and fascinating wonders about the pyramids of ancient Egypt. National print coverage.


From the publisher

A revolutionary book that explains the most enigmatic and fascinating wonder of the ancient world: the Pyramids of Egypt. In 1993, German robotics engineer Rudolf Gatenbrink discovered a sealed door within the Great Pyramid of Giza--a door left unopened for 4,500 years. With this discovery, Robert Bauval--who spent the decade prior to the discovery researching the pyramids--and Adrian Gilbert used astronomical data to reveal that more than just tombs, the pyramids were created to serve as a gateway to the stars; in the process, they uncovered what they believe to be the key to the plan that governed the construction of the great pyramids: the Orion Constellation. "[An] absorbing and fascinating work of archaeological detection...clearly and rivetingly told...the book is highly and compulsively readable."--London Sunday Times.

First line

In 1979, at London-Heathrow airport, I bought a book called The Sirius Mystery by Robert Temple.
