Sommario/riassunto |

Our book will reveal what's never been written before a blueprint packed with simple logical solutions on how the Great Pyramid of Giza was actually completed in a realistic time-frame of less than 7 years. To ensure the pyramid realised its purpose, pharaoh Khufu's final resting place. The Great pyramid of Giza, supposedly took 20 years to build. This estimated time-frame appears logical on the surface yet when the pyramid of Giza is analysed its purpose proves this time-frame impractical. The most important fact that hasn't been considered is the purpose of the Egyptian Pyramids, tombs, in which to secure the Pharaohs body and facilitate their soul's journey into the afterlife. "Pharaoh Khufu," with his beliefs and religion created a monument that stands today and is seen as one of the 7 wonders of the world. Their religious beliefs were the governing factor that created the essence that dictated the driving force and the time-frame throughout the whole project from beginning to end. You cannot imagine the consequences on the society of the time if they failed to complete the Pharaohs resting place before his death. It's illogical to accept the luxury of a 20 year time-frame or longer when you consider the fact that the average life expectancy of an ancient Egyptian was 35 years. Encompassing this |

factuality it's inconceivable to work with a 20 year time-frame so there had to be practical solutions that shrank this timetable dramatically. Realistically the pyramid had to be completed within a timeline between 3 to 7 years. Throughout the past 4,500 years people have marvelled at this majestic monument that the ancient Egyptians immortalised. Countless theories have been documented, a myriad of investigations undertaken to determine and establish how the pyramids were built. What were their methods? What tools did they use? How many workers were required? The analysis continues up to this present day. Yet one of the most compelling questions that takes precedence is the purpose of the pyramid and the life expectancy of the pharaoh Khufu. |
