The Great Pyramid Void Enigma: The Mystery of the Hall of the Ancestors

Description

Reveals the extraordinary purpose of the newly discovered "Big Void" within the Great Pyramid of Giza * Analyzes ancient Coptic-Egyptian texts and evidence from astronomy and archaeology to show how the Big Void may be a grand "Hall of Ancestors" * Explores the controversy surrounding the discovery of the Big Void and debunks many of the theories regarding the purpose of this massive new "chamber" * Reveals how the Great Pyramid was built by Khufu as an indestructible "recovery vault" to help Egyptian civilization rebuild after an anticipated cataclysm In November 2017, an international team of more than 30 scientists published the results of their two-year-long Great Pyramid research project in the journal Nature. Using an advanced imaging technique known as muon radiography, three groups working independently from each other discovered a massive, previously unknown space within the Great Pyramid of Giza. Mainstream Egyptologists suggest that the "Big Void" is simply a stress-relieving device for the Grand Gallery. But, as Scott Creighton reveals, ancient Coptic-Egyptian texts describe exactly what the Big Void is. Exploring the controversy surrounding the Big Void, Creighton artfully debunks many of the theories about the purpose of this massive chamber as well as other long-held Egyptology beliefs. Analyzing the Coptic-Egyptian texts and evidence from astronomy, archaeology, and other sources, the author reveals how the Great Pyramid was built by Khufu as an indestructible recovery vault to help Egyptian civilization rebuild after a cataclysmic natural disaster--a rapid pole shift and subsequent deluge--predicted by his astronomer-priests. And the key component of the recovery vault would have been the Hall of the Ancestors, a sealed safe haven containing the mummified remains of the Osiris Kings, deceased pharaohs who would seek the benevolence of the gods to ensure Egypt's recovery from the disaster.

"Filled with intriguing new information that sheds light on the mysterious 'void' recently discovered within the Great Pyramid, this book makes significant contributions to our knowledge of this last surviving wonder of the ancient world." * Graham Hancock, author of America Before * "With some of the best forensic reporting, Scott Creighton looks again for answers to the most intriguing questions ever to emerge from the Great Pyramid. The mysterious and unexplained 'Big Void,' revealed in 2018 by subatomic-particle physicists, has baffled everyone so far, but now, with a wealth of facts and details unavailable from any other single source, Creighton makes stunning connections between cutting-edge science and esoteric tradition, and he backs it all up with some very impressive detective work. If you want to know the facts--and be thoroughly enthralled--you must not skip this terrific read." * J. Douglas Kenyon, author of Ghosts of Atlantis * "Everyone loves a mystery, and the mystery of Giza's Great Pyramid is perhaps the most enigmatic mystery known. Who built it? When, and why? These three questions have tantalized researchers and historical chronologers seemingly forever. Recently, the scientists of the ScanPyramids project discovered a large void as long and wide as the Grand Gallery itself; another large chamber hidden within an enormous, incredibly ancient structure. It's a mystery, of course. In The Great Pyramid Void Enigma, Scott Creighton digs deep into the history and the most pertinent of legends surrounding Egypt's pyramids and the Great Pyramid in search of answers to the big questions of 'who, when, and why.' Creighton sifts through the legends and explores the landscape of one of the most tumultuous times of our past, a time of climatic chaos and mass extinction 12,000 years ago. Most of all, he spins a marvelous story around a complex topic that the best of mystery writers will surely envy, and he links a 12,000-year-old catastrophe to the beginning of our own history. A fascinating and enlightening book. I couldn't put it down." * Edward F. Malkowski, historical researcher, and author of Ancient Egypt 39,000 BCE * "In true whodunit style, Creighton transports the reader on a journey of exploration, skillfully weaving powerful themes with clear emotional expression, endeavoring to reveal the truth behind Egypt's fabled Hall of the Ancestors. A comprehensive blend of history, archaeology, and ancient pyramid lore, it will undoubtedly rouse your curiosity." * Lorraine Evans, archaeologist, historian, and author of Burying the Dead * "Scott Creighton casts fresh eyes on one of the world's oldest mysteries, shattering the expectations that there is nothing new to be revealed about the marvelous megaliths of Egypt's Giza Plateau. Go inside the Great Pyramid void, and you'll emerge looking back with reawakened wonder." * Rand Flem-Ath, researcher and coauthor of The Atlantis Blueprint and The Murder of Moses *
