Author Description

The factual explication of when and why the Pyramids of Giza were built to monumentalise the completion of the first Sothic Cycle, and the Sphinx its rebirth. How the formulation and chronological origin of the Egyptian Civil Calendar led to the reasons for the construction and specific architecture of the Pyramids and Sphinx on the Giza Plateau. The author explains why the builders laid the foundation stones to the Great Pyramid of Khufu on Midwinter Day 2563 BC, and how all of the structures at Giza were precisely positioned and aligned to a unified plan, to a plan of cyclic time that originated in the early Fourth Millennium BC. How the Unification of Egypt, the eras of the Dynastic Kingdoms and Intermediate Periods and the architecture of ancient Egypt derive from the progression of the time-cycles of Horus and Set, and how the precise chronologies of the eleven Pyramids of Giza and the name of the Sphinx are calculable from the position of the Sun at the completion of the first Sothic Cycle. Illustrated by diagrams and schematics based on GPS data and laser measurements of the Giza monuments to provide the rationale for the solar and theological nature of the First Wonders of the World.
