Egyptologists Hancock and Bauval have done such amazing and remarkable research that I'm convinced they're right. Conventional understanding of the Sphinx and the Pyramids, not to mention the current understanding of the ancient Egyptian culture in general, contains so many gaps and inaccuracies that I had never noticed before. We truly were missing a tremendous piece of our history as the human race until these finds.

With well documented research, drawings and well-explained theories, Hancock and Bauval expose the potential truths of this great ancient society and their wondrous works, ones that to this day, WE can't even replicate. They seem to solve many mysteries using different scientific methods and good old fashioned "put two and two together." This is a must read for anyone who wonders if what scientists "know" may only be what's acceptable to know. Hancock and Bauval showed me that going against the grain gets results and even better, they weren't afraid to publish it.
