[Egypt] - Richard A. Proctor - The great Pyramid. Observatory, Tomb and Temple - 1883

In this classic work, renowned astronomer Richard A. Proctor examines the Great Pyramid of Giza not through mysticism, but through scientific reasoning.
Proctor investigates its structure, purpose, and astronomical alignments, arguing that the Pyramid may have served 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.
