(  ) Maistrack | May 28, 2016 |  ) paperloverevolution | Mar 30, 2013 | Then, down with flu and napping through HuluPlus, I clicked on The Pyramid Code. Episode one, still skeptical. Episode two, socks knocked off. Remaining episodes, becoming skeptical again about some bits but moved to inquire further into others. Found one lecture by Bauval and one by Hancock, also on Hulu. Then, still bedridden, I ordered Laird Scranton's The Science of the Dogon for my Kindle. As soon as I could get up, I headed for the library and borrowed Hancock's Fingerprints of the Gods and The Message of the Sphinx, co-authored by Hancock and Bauval. There's a lot of astronomy in Message, more than even I needed, so to me it's a less breathtaking read than Fingerprints. But both writers present compelling--I mean that literally--evidence for their claims, enough evidence in fact to make orthodox archaeology look about as scientific as the Ancient Alien guys, to make it look less like a theory than like a belief system. As for claims, Hancock and Bauval are restrained. If they believe in alien visitations, they're careful not to show it. But if you would like to consider the possibility of an antediluvian culture that got lost, here are some facts and arguments.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER * Two Egypt experts posit a revolutionary theory: The Sphinx and other great Egyptian monuments are older than common history books tell us and are arranged in such a way as to send us a message from the silent past. Guardian of the ancient mysteries, the keeper of secrets . . . For thousands of years the Great Sphinx of Egypt has gazed toward the east, its eyes focused on eternity, reading a message in the stars that mankind has long forgotten. And today as our civilization stands poised at the end of a great cycle, it is a message that beckons insistently to be understood. All the clues are in place. Geology and archeo-astronomy have already indicated that the lion-bodied Sphinx may be vastly older than Egyptologists currently believe, dating not from 2500 B.C., but from 10,500 B.C.--the beginning of the astrological Age of Leo. And we now know that the three pyramids of Giza, standing on high ground half a mile to the west of the Sphinx, are in fact a precise map of the three stars of Orion's belt, formed in fifteen million tons of solid stone. Are these monuments trying to tell us something? And, if so, what? In The Message of the Sphinx, Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock 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. Their discoveries lead the authors to this question: Does mankind have a rendezvous with destiny--a rendezvous not in the future, but in the distant past, at a precise place and time? The secrets can be kept no longer. The Message of the Sphinx brings them to light. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

"E io - disse Ermes - rendero' gli esseri umani intelligenti, conferiro' loro la saggezza e faro' conoscere loro la verita'. Non cessero' mai di trarre beneficio dalla vita degli esseri mortali; e poi colmero' ciascuno di benefici, quando la forza della natura che agisce in lui e' in armonia con il movimento delle stelle al di sopra". (p. 172)
- La nostra mente ha perso la sua acutezza, stentiamo a capire gli antichi. - Gregorio di Tours, VI sec. d.C.
Le stelle sbiadiscono come il ricordo nell'istante che precede l'alba. Il sole appare basso a est, dorato come un occhio aperto. Cio' che puo' essere nominato deve esistere. Cio' che viene nominato puo' essere scritto. Cio' che e' scritto deve essere ricordato. Cio' che e' ricordato vive. Nella terra d'Egitto va errando Osiride. (p. 345)
