Book Review of The Giza Power Plant : Technologies of Ancient Egypt

The Giza Power Plant : Technologies of Ancient Egypt
domainwizard avatar reviewed Good reading, but weak on the on
Helpful Score: 1


Christopher Dunn puts facts behind what I have always believed. Just looking at the drawings and reading about the construction of the pyramid, before Dunns book, made me think that the Giza pyramid was built for a purpose other than being a tomb. Now that I have read it, I am almost convinced of it.

Dunn basically takes the research of others, mixed with a little of his own, and shines a new light on it. He builds a pretty good case that the Giza pyramid was built by a society that was more advanced than current Egyptologist want to acknowledge and shows how the structure may be more of a device than the purported tomb. Supporting evidence for his ideas as to what it did are weak, but does inspire thinking in the direction of possible ancient and sophisticated technology.
