Secrets of the Great Pyramid by Peter Tompkins FIRST EDITION vintage book circa 1971. Book lover gift. Hieroglyph pyramid history. Occult

Recounts the fascinating discoveries made by explorers, adventurers, and scientists about the Great Pyramid of Cheops, including the stunning recent assertions that the ancient structure was used as a geometric tool to measure the outside world. Provenance: We recently acquired several hundred volumes from the Estate of James & Beverly Coburn. Oscar winning actor James Coburn appeared in over 70 motion pictures and 100 television appearances including screen greats such as 'The Magnificent Seven', 'The Great Escape', 'Our Man Flint', & 'Hell is For Heroes'. Coburn had a deep, lifelong passion for Eastern Philosophy & Religion and his library reflects that interest. The subject matter runs the gamut but is particularly strong in the areas of Ancient Egyptology, Pyramids & Pyramidology, Hermetic studies, Middle Eastern Studies, Occult history, Ancient Biblical Studies (pre-Nicene), Astrology, Tibet & Nepalese studies, Gnosticism, Rosicrucian study, Ancient languages, and Semitic history.

CONDITION: POOR - please see pictures for discoloration to cover.
