Sinopsis

In The Message of the Sphinx, Robert Bauval, author of The Orion Mystery, and Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the Gods, present a tour de force of historical and scientific detective work that unravels the millennial code embodied in these structures. Using sophisticated computer simulations of ancient skies, they unravel the riddle of the Sphinx, and they present a startling new theory concerning the enigmatic Pyramid Texts and other archaic Egyptian scriptures.
These texts serve as an ingenious treasure trail, and as the authors reveal, a covert treasure hunt has been under way for the last twenty years at the pyramids and the Sphinx - a hunt involving senior Egyptologists, high government officials, and a wealthy esoteric organization behind the scenes.
What are they looking for? What is contained in the rectangular chamber that seismic surveys have located in the bedrock far below the paws of the Sphinx? What lies behind the mysterious door recently discovered at the end of a previously unexplored shaft deep inside the Great Pyramid? And does mankind have a rendezvous with destiny - a rendezvous not in the future, but in the distant past, at a precise place and time?
