Description
This archaeological detective story attempts to reveal the true meaning of the prophecies of the Old and New Testaments. The prophets of the ancient world, in their search for a calendar upon which to inscribe the dates of events far in the future, looked to the skies. The revolution of the stars and the progression of the constellations of the zodiac were an accurate and lasting means of measuring the passage of time. The astrologically-aligned monuments - such as the pyramids - were placed to record the progress of the years, counting down to the end of an age. The constellation of Orion, the figure of man set in stars, has now arrived at its northernmost point. At the same time, the summer-solstice sun is due to cross the eastern and western sky exactly over the pyramid of Khafre. Could this be the "Sign of the Son of Man" described in the Book of Revelation as marking the beginning of the Apocalypse?
