Rebel Egyptologist Robert Bauval has lost patience with the scientific method! He says that Egypt's Great Pyramid is speaking to us and we must listen to the wisdom of a remnant of what he describs as history's most successful civilization. This famed archeo-astronomer, whose original theories on the thesis that the Pyramids of Giza are aligned to the Orion constellation has been featured in documentaries and programs around the world.
Today, he is calling us to the great Pyramid to tune in and recapture our birthright - to know ourselves and our precious planet, because great change is coming.
Since the publication of THE ORION MYSTERY in February 1994 (see books below) much water has flowed under the bridge. In early 1995 Graham Hancock published his blockbuster book, FINGERPRINTS OF THE GODS, which not only changed the style of this type of investigation forever, but opened the debate far and wide across the globe. Graham and Robert then pursued the quest together with the publication in 1996 of KEEPER OF GENESIS which took them deep into the haunting metaphysical questions of the origins of human intellect and in hot pursuit of what we have come to term 'the quest for the science of immortality'. After that came Graham and Santha Faiia's HEAVEN'S MIRROR in 1998 which applied the tool of archaeo-astronomy to various ancient sites around the world and introduced us to the fascinating world of underwater archaeological exploration.
Finally in 1999 Robert wrote SECRET CHAMBER which explored the deeper layers of the Giza quest and made the linkage between the ancient 'magical knowledge' and the Hermetic Tradition that carried it across the ages and into the mainstream of our modern western intellectual and esoteric tradition. These books have been the subject of much press reviews and articles, and prompted major television documentaries which have generated heated debates at the highest levels. They have flushed out academics (or what John Anthony West calls quackademics!) from their ivory towers in droves to confront the challenges that have been put before them. At long last the debate was pulled upwards to warrant the attention of the international media and, more importantly, forced into the public arena and the global scientific and academic network of the 'establishment'.

The Egypt Code
The Orion Mystery, published in 1994, introduced the world to a highly original, and now internationally famous, star-correlation theory about the Giza Pyramids in Egypt. It sent a huge shock-wave of controversy throughout the scientific community, the effects of which are still felt today. "The Egypt Code" develops this pyramid-stars correlation, challenging the long held assumption by many Egyptologists that the pyramids were tombs principally meant to house the bodies of dead kings. In addition to this theory, Robert Bauval also reveals an amazing 'Grand Unified Plan', which involves the wonderful temple of Upper Egypt. "The Egypt Code" is unlike any other book before it and covers the whole of Egypt's ancient civilisation in a manner never before attempted. Much has been written as to 'how' the Egyptians might have aligned their monuments with such high precision, but the question that has always remained unanswered is 'why?'- why did the ancients put so much emphasis on astronomical alignments? And what could be the function, practical or symbolic, behind these mysterious alignments?
The Orion Mystery
This is the story of a secret, hidden for thousands of years, that will forever change our understanding of the meaning and purpose of the most fascinating wonder of the ancient world: the Pyramids of Egypt. What purpose did these massive structures, one of the largest construction projects ever undertaken, serve? Why were they scattered across the desert in a seemingly random pattern? The pyramid mystery deepened when, in 1993, researcher Rudolf Gantenbrink discovered a secret door within the Great Pyramid - a door unopened for 4,500 years. Robert Bauval has spent the last ten years investigating the pyramids themselves and the Pyramid Texts, the oldest writings known to mankind. He and Adrian Gilbert have uncovered, for the first time, the key to the plan that governed the construction of the pyramids. They reveal that, much more than just tombs, the pyramids were nothing less than a replica of Heaven on Earth. With great astronomical precision, they were created to serve as the Pharaohs' gateway to the stars. Dramatic and compelling, The Orion Mystery leads us step-by-step through these remarkable discoveries. It will be hailed as a historic achievement by all who are intrigued by the world's ancient mysteries.
Keepers of the Genesis
Guardian of the ancient mysteries, the keeper of secrets ... For thousands of years the Great Sphinx of Egypt has gazed towards the east, his eyes focussed on eternity, reading a message in the stars that mankind has long forgotten. And today, as our civilisation stands poised at the end of a great cycle, it is a message that beckons insistently to be understood.
All the clues are in place. Geology and archaeo-astronomy have already indicated that the lion-bodied sphinx may be vastly older than Egyptologists currently believe, dating not from 2500 BC, but from 10,500 BC - the beginning of the astrological Age of Leo. We now know, too, that the three pyramids of Giza, standing on high ground half a mile to the west of the Sphinx, are not merely the tombs of megalomaniac Pharaohs but form a precise map of the three stars of Orion's belt in 15 million tons of solid stone.
So is somebody trying to tell us something? And, if so, what?
In Keeper of Genesis/Message of the Sphinx, Robert Bauval (author of the Orion Mystery) and Graham Hancock (author of Fingerprints of the Gods) present a tour de force of historical and scientific detective work, using sophisticated computer simulations of the ancient skies to crack the millennial code that the monuments transcribe, and set out a startling new theory concerning the enigmatic Pyramid Texts and other archaic Egyptian scriptures.
These texts serve as an ingenious treasure trail and, as the authors reveal in their shattering conclusion, a covert treasure hunt has been underway for the last twenty years at the Pyramids and the Sphinx - a hunt bringing together senior Egyptologists, high government officials, wealthy funders, and a strange esoteric organisation lurking behind the scenes.
What are they looking for? What is contained in the rectangular chamber that seismic surveys have located in the bedrock far below the paws of the Sphinx? What lies behind the mysterious door discovered at the end of a previously unexplored shaft deep inside the Great Pyramid? And does mankind have a rendezvous with destiny - a rendezvous not in the future, but in the distant past, at a precise place and time?
The secrets can be kept no longer ...

Talisman: Sacred Cities, Secret Faith
Talisman is a roller-coaster intellectual journey through the back streets and rat runs of history to uncover the traces in architecture and monuments of a secret religion that has shaped the world. The story takes us from Heliopolis to Luxor, Alexandria, Toulouse, Florence, Rome, Paris, London, Washington DC, New York, and finally to the global pandemonium following 9/11/2001. It is a tale filled with romance and intrigue, heroism and faith, peopled by ancient Egyptian astronomer priests, Christian Gnostics, Hermetic sages, learned Jews, Arab savants, Occitan Counts, Cathar "perfecti", Knights Templar, Renaissance magi, Rosicrucian "invisibles", Bavarian Illuminati and Freemasons.
The Message of the Sphinx
In this riveting account of historical and archaeological investigation, the authors present hard evidence that the Sphinx, the Pyramids, and the other monuments at Giza are of far more ancient origin than previously believed. Complete with evidence of a conspiracy between the Egyptology establishment and various confidential organizations to keep the secrets of the Pyramids from the world, The Message of the Sphinx is also a modern-day detective story. of photos.
