EgyptView images from The Lost City of the Pyramids excavation site.
Even the ancient Greeks, themselves monumental architects, were overwhelmed by the pyramids. Herodotus went to Giza and came back with a report blending hard facts about dynastic succession with fanciful stories of ritual sacrifice.

Since then it seems, humanity's interest in the pyramids has grown and continued in those parallel directions -- scientific investigation on one hand, myth and occult stories on the other.

Researcher Mark Lehner has straddled both tracks. Today a prominent and award winning Egyptologist, he first went to Egypt as a disciple of clairvoyant Edgar Casey, looking for Atlantis's hall of record in the belly of the Sphinx. Archeology and epistemology; extracting knowledge from the rock on the Giza Plateau.
