Product Description
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, and sent a huge shock wave of controversy throughout the scientific community, the effects of which are still felt today.
The Egypt Code not only develops this pyramid-stars correlation, but 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 civilization 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?
Robert Bauval was born in Egypt in 1948. A construction engineer, his interest in Egyptology is longstanding, having lived in Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East for much of his life. In the 1980s, he developed a line of study linking the pyramids and the so-called Pyramid Texts with astronomy and famously published the best-selling The Orion Mystery. He has also written three books with best-selling author Graham Hancock (The Message of the Sphinx, Talisman, and The Mars Mystery).

Vintage Alexandria: Photographs of the City, 1860-1960
- ISBN13: 9789774161926
- Condition: NEW
- Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark.
Product Description
This is an intriguing collection of archival photographs that reveals the forgotten heart of a great cosmopolitan city. Using vintage photographs from the second half of the nineteenth century and first half of the twentieth, many of them from private family albums, this book brings to life the world of that vanished Alexandria, a vibrant, stylish, and cosmopolitan city, the largest port in the Mediterranean, that was the prosperous gateway between Egypt and the world. Seen here in the setting of their homes and gardens, and on the city’s streets and beaches, the faces of those forgotten Alexandrians come to life: the Greeks, Italians, Jews, and all those others from around the Mediterranean whose energy and expertise helped modernize and develop Egypt, and who planted their family roots in the city.This was the luxuriant and evocative city celebrated by Constantine Cavafy, E.M. Forster, and Lawrence Durrell, and they too are included in these pages along with photographs of scenes and people that were familiar to them. Vintage Alexandria traces the development and growth of the city, follows its story through the dramatic events of two world wars, and above all provides a background to the city’s place in twentieth-century cultural history, through the eyes of Alexandria’s cosmopolitan citizens themselves.

The Magnificent Egypt
Egypt is bordered by Libya on the west, Sudan on the south, & on Israel & Gaza Strip on the northeasterly. Egypt’s significant role in geopolitics stems from its strategical position: a transcontinental country, it possesses a land bridge (the Isthmus of Suez) betwixt Africa & Asia, that in turn is traversed by a navigable waterway (the Suez Canal) that connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Indian Ocean via the Red Sea.
Towns & cities let in Alexandria, one of the great very old towns, Aswan, Asyut, Cairo, the contemporary Egyptian capital, El-Mahalla El-Kubra, Giza, the site of the Pyramid of Khufu, Hurghada, Port Safaga Luxor, Kom Ombo, Port Said, Sharm el Sheikh, Shubra-El-Khema, Suez, in which the Suez Canal is settled, Zagazig, & Al-Minya.
Deserts: Egypt admits parts of the Sahara Desert & of the Libyan Desert. Those deserts were referred to as the “red land” in very old Egypt, & they secure the Kingdom of the Pharaohs given by western threats. Oases admit: Bahariya Oasis, Dakhleh Oasis, Farafra Oasis, Kharga Oasis, Siwa Oasis. An oasis is a fertile or green region in the midst of a desert.
Egypt’s working capital city, Cairo, is Africa’s largest city & has been famous for centuries as a center of learning, culture & mercantilism. The Egyptian Academy of the Arabic Language is responsible for modulating the Arabic Language throughout the world.
Egypt has had a thriving media & arts industry from the late 19th century, in todays world with more than 30 satellite channels and over 100 motion pictures produced every year. Cairo in fact has long been acknowledge as the “Hollywood of the East.” To bolster its media industry further, especially with the keen contest from the Persian Gulf Arab States and Lebanon, a big media city was built.
When you travel to Egypt, there are so several sites that you will want to explore, the length of your voyage will never seem long enough! I frequently meet people, on my tours, that have been to Egypt additional than 15 times, & they keep returning to see something new! They ask about this newly discovered site, or some new tomb that has been recently unveiled, or even places that they have found out more people talk about! Here in Egypt, you will forever find new sites to travel to and have a good time in.
The adventure that is Egypt never ends! That is why it is a shame if you come to Egypt, particularly for the first time, and miss the grandiose sites, like the Pyramids of Giza, Abu Simbel or the west bank of Luxor, to name but two or three. In that location are so many travellers who fly direct to Upper Egypt to see Luxor & Aswan, hoping that they will be stumble through the Pyramids as well, and then they understand that they have to travel 720Km to Cairo, in which the Pyramids actually are, and end up paying $400 extra to travel and see one site, which is most likely about half of what they paid for their entire trip!
Plan well for your trip before you come. Advance planning is the right way to save up time, money and effort, & of course to ensure that you get to see the locates that you have been dream about for some time.
Try, as much as possible, to travel to as several of the places that your voyage will allow! In that location is nothing worse than going home & wishing you had travelled to somewhere you didn’t! We each know that you don’t get the opportunity to travel to Egypt day-after-day!
