Beneath the Pyramids: Egypt's Greatest Secret Uncovered

Andrew Collins has done it again! One of the world’s foremost authorities on UFOs, crop circles and ancient mysteries, in this book he takes us deep into the history of the Giza pyramids in order to find the long lost ‘Hall of Records’.

Recently news hit the Internet about underground cave systems near the Giza Plateau, and rumours circulate about the secret archaeological excavations taking place near the Sphinx.

In his new book, Andrew Collins reveals the hard evidence he personally uncovered about the latest goings on in Egypt.

Beneath the Pyramids begins with Collins exploring the religious past of Egypt, scouring their creation myths, and introducing us to one of the oldest gods of ancient Egypt – Sokar. He presided over death, resurrection, as well as the darkness of the tomb in which the dead lay in eternal slumber. His cult was later absorbed into that of ancient Egypt’s well-known deity, Osiris. This explosive discovery could rewrite the whole story of ancient Egypt and how their underworld myths came into being.

Collins then delves into the astronomical accuracy within the design of the pyramids and key alignments with stars, and how certain calculations make perfect Pythagorean triangles, using the pyramids and other points of interest on the plateau to enlightening affect.

Pythagoras himself studied at the pyramids, and one can almost safely assume he was heavily influenced by the layout of the plateau.

Collins was inspired to explore the Giza pyramid field after hearing the predictions made by American psychic Edgar Cayce.

Cayce was famous in the beginning of last century for his miraculous healing powers and predictions made while lying in a state of relaxation on his couch. Cayce foretold of the discovery of the ‘Hall of Records’ that are buried somewhere under the pyramids. The Hall of Records supposedly contains the history of a lost people said to have populated the Giza plateau around 11,000 BCE, who were destroyed by a meteor strike that also brought forth the great flood and/or the War in Heaven that is told in almost all ancient religions.

In the second half of the book, Collins takes us on his own journey to Egypt, his dealings with the locals and his finding of a passageway that leads to unknown areas underneath the Tomb of Birds, which lies on the northwest side of plateau.

With full colour pictures, Collins shows us the tunnels he explored at the far end of the Tomb of Birds, as well as another suspected entrance to the Hall of Records, a well located on the hill known as Gebel Gibli, which is on the south east side of the plateau.

Gebel Gibli, as viewed from the pyramids, even looks like the outline of a classic Egyptian sarcophagus! This ancient mound could be a precursor to the ‘modern’ pyramids, and still holds secrets that Collins seeks to uncover.

Readers, be warned this is a very detailed book, stuffed with pictures and theories, but it is delivered in a welcoming tone, and is highly entertaining when Collins recounts his journeys in Egypt which balances out the sometimes hard-going history aspects very nicely.

This book is highly recommended for pyramid heads, and for anyone wanting an in-depth introduction to the unsolved mysteries of the Giza pyramids.

Not exactly Mr. Gurdjieff in this entry, but we thought it might be interesting to add this in today, perhaps it is time to expand the subject from time to time, without diluting the aim.
