AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
In this classic work, renowned astronomer Richard A. Proctor examines the Great Pyramid of Giza not through mysticism, but through scientific reasoning.
Proctor examines its structure, purpose, and astronomical alignments, suggesting that the Pyramid may have functioned as an ancient observatory as well as a tomb and temple.
This 1883 edition, published by Chatto & Windus, London, offers:
A rational, scientific counterpoint to the speculative pyramid theories of the era.
Detailed discussions of geometry, orientation, and ancient Egyptian engineering.
Insight into Victorian scientific thought and early Egyptological debates.
A valuable volume for collectors of Egyptology, history of science, or Victorian scholarship.
