Giza, the Truth: The People, Politics and History Behind the World's Most Famous Archaeological SiteVirgin, 1999 - 560 pages In this book, authors Ian Lawton and Chris Ogilvie-Herald take a fresh approach to traditional investigations as they follow a path that leads behind the scenes to a world of politics, jealousy and ambition. What is really happening at the Giza Plateau? What is the identity of the group who call themselves 'The Magic Twelve', and what are their motives? What plans are afoot as the Millennium approaches? The answers to these questions and many more will be explained as this astounding story unfolds. In support of these revelations, Giza: The Truth is the only work to feature a fully balanced treatment of the theories surrounding the questions of who built the pyramids, why, how and when. It also uncovers the real motives and findings of the multitude of explorations conducted at the Plateau over the last 35 years to the present day, including those whose aim has been to locate the infamous Hall of Records. |
