    About this ebook

    The Astonishing New Theory That Rewrites Egyptology...

    According to modern scholars, the sun-god reigned supreme in ancient Egypt, and it was the rising and setting sun that provided the model for the death and rebirth of the pharaohs.

    But the mighty pyramids and temples suggest a more profound philosophy, and the oldest texts indeed tell a different story.

    In this ground-breaking study of the Egyptian creation myth, Alan F. Alford argues that the creator-god was supreme in ancient Egypt, and that his death and rebirth signified the death and rebirth of the cosmos. The task of the sun-god and the pharaoh was to re-enact this momentous crisis in the universe and thereby rejuvenate the cosmic order.

    Pyramids were built to commemorate this cosmic rebirth and kings were buried in the earth beneath them as mummified images of the creator-god himself.

    As proof of his theory, Alford claims to have discovered the intact tomb of Khufu, Egypt's greatest pyramid builder, hidden in a network of caves beneath the great pyramid.

    This book is an invitation to the authorities to put his theories to the test.

    'When new ideas come along based on logic and reason, they are worth examination. In Alan Alford's case, his reasoning is archaeologically sound and well worth a full and detailed investigation... His hypothesis of finding the 'real' burial chamber of Cheops is laudable. It would be a triumph for Egyptology were it found.' - Christine El Mahdy, Professor of Egyptian Studies, BCES, and author of The Pyramid Builder: Cheops, the Man Behind the Great Pyramid.

    Alan F. Alford

    Alan F. Alford was an independent researcher and author, who was increasingly being recognised as the world's leading authority on ancient mythology and the esoteric meaning of ancient and modern religions. Since the mid-1980s, Alan Alford had been on a quest for the truth of human existence, seeking answers to the eternal questions of who we are and where we come from. Inspired, in the first instance, by the controversial theories of Erich von Daniken and Zecharia Sitchin, Alford focused his research on the enigmatic 'gods' of ancient mythology, pursuing his quest with one single-minded objective - to decode the secrets of the gods and thereby understand who or what these gods actually were. One of the most notable features of Alford's quest was his willingness to challenge his own preconceptions, as well as those of others. In 1998, he stunned readers of his first book 'Gods of the New Millennium' by issuing a retraction of his 'flesh and blood gods' theory in his sequel 'The Phoenix Solution', in which he argued that the Egyptian gods personified the cataclysmic powers of creation. Alford's arguments were indeed so powerful that Zecharia Sitchin, the world's leading ancient astronaut theorist, threatened him with a 50 million dollar lawsuit on the grounds that his comments discredited his (Sitchin's) theories and destroyed his reputation. In fact, Alford's primary aim was to promote his own theories rather than attacking competitor theories, and this he has done in four further books: 'When The Gods Came Down', 'The Atlantis Secret', 'Pyramid of Secrets', and 'The Midnight Sun'. In these books, Alford argued that ancient religions were 'cults of creation' - i.e. cults whose primary aim was to celebrate and re-enact perpetually the myth of the creation of the Universe - and that the gods personified the cataclysmic powers of creation. And he demonstrated, beyond any doubt, that these ancient religions transmitted a profound legacy of creational and cataclysmic thought to modern-day Judaism and Christianity. Alan and his wife Sumu, spent much of their spare time doing charity work in Nepal and it was there that Alan died in a tragic accident in November of 2012.
