Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

"The Egyptian civilization appears to have sprung up out of nowhere on the banks of the Nile. There is precious little evidence of a gradual climb from any earlier Neolithic culture -yet Egyptologists assure us this must have been what happened…"The origins of the science and technology of Ancient Egypt have mystified us for centuries. How did Egyptian society advance to create such wonders as the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx -and what led to its decline? Consulting mathematicians, engineers, geologists, and historians, the author goes beyond the orthodox explanations of most Egyptologists to present a unique and thought-provoking view. His research reveals the existence of a technologically sophisticated civilization, with evidence that the Sphinx is at least 5000 years older than commonly believed, as well as intriguing new ideas about the origins of the pyramids. With detailed information on Egypt's advancements in electricity and other power sources, this fascinating document finally answers our questions about one of the world's most enigmatic cultures…
