Summary: Technology of the past still hidden from mainstream research
Review: Great book from a fresh perspective on the technology of the distant past. Mr. Dunn shows us the evidence of advanced construction and machining techniques used to construct the largest building "man" (I hope so) has ever built. The establishment will have you believe this pyramid is a tomb to project one mans ego into the eons. Mr. Dunn shows us instead this monument was built for a more universal purpose of generating power. What that power was used for is perhaps an even greater mystery.

Summary: Major flaw in historical science exposed!
Review: After reading this book I realized that the greatest misconception about the pyramids is that we've been listening to the wrong type of `experts', i.e. if you had a problem in your car, you should talk to a mechanic and not a doctor. In the case of the pyramids, if you want an opinion about a machine, you listen to an engineer, not a historian.
The author is trained in the area of technology; this gives the book a very unique perspective. Egyptologists, scholars and historians on the other hand don't have the background training neither the mind set to be able to recognize technological patterns as the author presents in this book. They are only trained to recognize philosophical gods, superstitious beliefs and ceramic vases. So, that's all they'll ever see.
These technological patterns stand as the scientific evidence proving that the world's greatest wonder is machine and not just a tomb.
Personally I don't entirely agree with the power plant theory, but whether it is a communication device, a weapon, water pump or something else, this book presents details about the pyramids and things that exists inside that you will never see on the Discovery channel or read about in a history book or magazine.
What I got from this and similar books was that the Egyptians had nothing to do with the pyramids as the pyramids were already there when the Egyptians walked in. And taken in account that we humans may have had this brain for at least 12 thousand years and 90% of our technology came in about the last century. Well, what's one century in 12 thousand years? The odds are somebody in the past must have had at least some technology. We just don't know it because large blocks of stones are pretty much the only material that can sustain that much time.

Summary: GREAT INVESTIGATOR LOOKING WITH SOME OF THE BEST!!
Review: Several of us got to know Chris and others on the investigative tour we went on with them a few years ago. There really is much more Knowledge and Technology preserved in some of the great pyramids of Egypt than some people would like us to know!! It might mess up their "Flatlander" and "politically correct" scenarios for what happened there!! Read this book if you want the physical evidence for great spiritual truths that have been buried for too long by our various Inquisitions and the burning and destruction of the ancient wisdom books in ancient Alexandria, etc. Then check them out and see how many of these truths were preserved within the traditions of Freemasonry. And, lo and behold, some of those scrolls have been found, like the Nag Hammadi "library"!! They certainly show a different "picture" of our spiritual roots!!

Summary: A facinating book
Review: Many authors have speculated that the pyramids at Giza were built for non-religious, non-megalomaniacal purposes. What I liked about this book is that the author focuses on specific artifacts that have been discovered and uses his practical engineering skills to show how they could, and could not have, been made. It is astounding to realize that we are in possession of bowls of various types of rock that could not have been produced by any primitive means, but that indeed our most advanced artisans would be hard-pressed to duplicate today. (...) I almost did not buy this book as the cover made me think it was another "alien/atlantean/magic crystal" book. But after skimming a few pages, it was obvious that the author has his feet firmly planted in reality. I can not say if his overall conclusions are correct, but to me the case he presents for what technologies could and could not have produced many of the artifacts we are left with makes the book well worth buying. Do not blithley dismiss all speculation before it is considered; to do so would be the opposite of science.

Summary: Lets make this book a Discovery channel show!
Review: Buy it... it's worth the money. The author covers every detail beautifully and by the end of the book you'll believe. I've heard dozens of explanations for the pyramids... but none as unusual and strangely accurate as this one. Who would have thought??

Summary: Brilliant! Absolutely Brilliant!
Review: This is a very well thought out, scientifically formulated theory on what the Great Pyramid actually was. It throws conventional "wisdom" in the faces of Egyptologists, who, unbelievably, still either refute as impossible, or simply ignore, the obvious evidence that the people who built the Giza pyramids were highly advanced technologically!Saying that copper tools (whether hardened or not) are all that were used to build enormous structures out of extremely hard igneous rock because 1) that is all that has been found so far, and 2) that is (thought to be) the highest level of technology achieved at that time is simply, well, ludicrous! That's similar to saying the Empire State Building was constructed with nothing more than a pick and shovel because those were the only tools found at that location! I'll have to get a book on the South American pyramids (yes, they have them there as well), and hopefully they'll talk about what was found (if anything) in the interior of those structures. I would love to hear that they are similar to the Egyptian pyramids. Well done, Mr. Dunn!
