Gods of the Dawn: The Message of the Pyramids and the True Stargate Mystery by Peter Lemesurier

Gods of the Dawn: The Message of the Pyramids and the True Stargate Mystery by Peter Lemesurier lands on the shelves of my shop.

London: Thorsons, 1998, Hardback in dust wrapper.

Illustrated by way of: Black & White Photographs; Colour Photographs; Black & White Drawings; Diagrams;

From the cover: By combining the cutting edge theories of well-known Egypt experts with his own years of intensive research, Peter Lemesurier has put together an explosive new work that at last presents a unified theory of the pyramids.

In language that is simple, dramatic and to the point he explains the extraordinary mathematics, geography and astronomy behind them and their internal passages and chambers. He uses clearly set out diagrams to demonstrate that the pyramids are a cosmic address representing Earth, Mars, Venus and the moon and that the spine-tingling message they enshrine probably came from outside the solar system.

There have been other books about the pyramids, and this is not the first time that they have been associated with extraterrestrial beings. It is, however, the first time that an outer space connection with the pyramids has been suggested by a writer who is widely respected as a serious commentator on the subject.
