This book is a complete handbook about the pyramids of Ancient Egypt during the Pyramid Age. It contains the locations and dimensions of the interiors and exteriors of the pyramids; it presents the varied theories of construction, purpose, and function of the pyramids; it discusses the sacred geometry that was incorporated into the design of the pyramids; and much, much more. It is the culmination of fresh, thorough research. A dialog of questions and answers, together with many useful illustrations, help the reader envision him/herself at the sites and interiors of the Egyptian masonry pyramids. By reviewing the facts at the sites, the reader is capable of separating the facts from the fiction, and draw their own conclusions about the pyramids.
