Voyages of the Pyramid Builders

Robert M. Schoch

3.7/5 ( ratings)

Is it a coincidence that pyramids are found across the globe? Did cultures ranging across vast spaces & times, such as the ancient Egyptians, early Buddhists, the Maya, Inca, Toltecs, Aztecs, British Celts & even the Mississippians of pre-Columbian Illinois, simply dream the same dreams & envision the same structures? Scientist & tenured university professor Robert M. Schoch, a preeminent geologists, believes otherwise. In this meticulously reasoned book, Schoch, like anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl in his classic Kon-Tiki, argues that ancient cultures traveled great distances by sea. Indeed, he believes that primeval sailors traveled from the East, primarily SE Asia, & spread the idea of pyramids across the Earth, involving the human species in a far greater degree of contact & exchange than experts have previously thought possible. Voyages of the Pyramid Builders features 16 pages of color photos & an appendix, "Redating the Great Sphinx of Giza," in which Schoch provides his most up-to-date evidence of the Sphinx's origins.
