Book Description (from the publisher)
The Great Pyramid of Egypt is arguably the world's most enigmatic structure. For over a thousand years, visitors have explored its phosphorescent gloomy passageways, galleries and chambers, returning to the daylight with awe and puzzlement on their faces.  And with questions:

Why was it built? Why were its chambers found to be empty when first opened by the Caliph al Mamoun in A.D. 820?  Why is the King's Chamber and its sarcophagus so remarkably resonant? What was the purpose of the so-called 'ventilation shafts' and why were they closed off at both ends?

In 1997, English acoustics engineer, John Reid, conducted a series of ground breaking experiments in the King's Chamber which provided answers to all of these questions but so much more. Reid's research booklet is packed with illustrations and written in an accessible style.

For the first time ever, it provides us with a glimpse into the fascinating world of ancient Egyptian sonics, including cymatic hieroglyphs, locked into the quartz crystal matrix of the granite sarcophagus.
