Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased a copy of this book many years ago in November 1964. It was an M.I.T. new press edition for $2.95. I have read it cover to cover several times and find it more fascinating every time I read it. When originally published in 1894, it was ridiculed by Egyptologists and archaeologists who held sway, but over the years, it has proven to be quite accurate. It is an easy read and I highly recommend to anyone interested in ancient Egyptian temples and archaeoastronomy (the confluence of astronomy and ancient megalithic structures). Amazon has copies available for under $20. a great buy for anyone's personal library.

This celebrated study - derived from Lockyer's belief that ancient Egyptian monuments were constructed "in strict relation to the stars" - explores the relationship between astronomy and architecture in the age of the pharaohs. The author addresses one of the many points already extensively investigated by Egyptologists: the chronology of the kings of Egypt.
