Añadir al carritoSoft Cover. Condición: New. 2004. 352p.Is it a mere coincidence that pyramids are found throughout ourglobe? Did cultures ranging across vast spaces in geography and time, suchas the ancient Egyptians; early Buddhists; the Maya, Inca, Toltec, andAztec civilizations of the Americas; the Celts of the British Isles; andeven the Mis…sissippi Indians of pre-Columbus Illinois, simply dream thesame dreams and envision the same structures? Robert M. Schoch-one of theworld's preeminent geologists in recasting the date of the building of theGreat Sphinx-believes otherwise. In this dramatic and meticulouslyreasoned book, Schoch, like anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl in his classicKon-Tiki, argues that ancient cultures traveled great distances by sea.Indeed, he believes that primeval sailors traveled from the Easterncontinent, primarily Southeast Asia, and spread the idea of pyramidsacross the globe, particularly to the New World of the Americas where theyabounded until the days of the Conquistadors.

For ardent readers of current science, little is moreappealing than stories of discoveries that change the way people view theworld. In this volume, Schoch asserts that he is at the vanguard of aparadigm shift, not in his own field of geology, but rathe…r inanthropology. From his geological analysis of the Sphinx, he draws aconclusion that he admits is controversial: that a technologicallyadvanced civilization rose and faded in Egypt long before the time of thepyramids. Adding speculative science and drawing on myth, he asserts thatother similarly advanced civilizations flourished around the world, onlyto be obliterated by global catastrophes brought on by a century-long rainof asteroid impacts. Similar cosmic storms strike once a millennium, hesays, triggering or ending ice ages, causing floods, earthquakes andvolcanic eruptions of biblical proportion, precipitating shifts in theearths axis. The 22nd century, Schoch predicts, will be the next era ofcatastrophe. Our civilization will be especially vulnerable becauseburning of fossil fuels and other global technological activities mayseriously compromise the planets environment.

Añadir al carritoHard Cover. Condición: New. Dust Jacket Included. First Edition. 2005. 384p. The Egyptologist acclaimed for re-dating the Great Sphinx atGiza sets his sights on one of the true mysteries of antiquity: the GreatPyramid of Giza. What is the Great Pyramid of Giza? Ask that basicquestion of a traditional Egyptologist, and you get th…e basic, traditionalanswer: a fancy tombstone for a self-important pharaoh of the Old Kingdom.This, Egyptologists argue, is the sole finding based on the data, and theonly deduction supported by science. By implication, anyone who dissentsfrom this point of view is unscientific and woolly-minded-a believer inmagic and ghosts. Indeed, some of the unconventional ideas about the GreatPyramid do have a spectacularly fabulous ring to them. Yet from beneaththe obvious terms of this controversy, a deeper, more significant questionarises: how is it that the Great Pyramid exercises such a gripping hold onthe human psyche- adding cryptic grace to the back of the one-dollar billand framing myriad claims of New Age "pyramid power"? In Pyramid Quest,Robert M. Schoch and Robert Aquinas McNally use the rigorous intellectualanalysis of scientific inquiry to investigate what we know about the GreatPyramid, and develop a stunning hypothesis: This ancient monument is thestrongest proof yet that civilization began thousands of years earlierthan is generally thought, extending far back into a little-known time. Intracing that story, we come to understand not only the Great Pyramid butalso our own origins as civilized beings.
