Richard Camden, a graduate student, journeys to Egypt to search for
the truth about myths and legends that have been swirling around
the Great Pyramid for centuries. His goal is to separate myth from
fact and legend from reality. Was the Great Pyramid built by an
antediluvian king to memorialize a tremendous cataclysm that
resulted in the Great Flood? Had the king, in anticipation of the
upcoming destruction, placed accounts of all Earth history-in the
forms of a terrestrial globe, celestial spheres, star charts,
certain machines, and malleable glass-in the pyramid for
preservation?
But what should be a predictable, scholarly investigation turns
into a mysterious and unpredictable journey when he teams with his
puzzling and astonishing cab driver, Hordadef. Who is this
mystifying figure, and how does he know secrets and details lost to
the sands of time?
Through the routine of a contracted tour, and the mundane
day-to-day, Richard is guided in ways he could not have imagined to
hidden knowledge he could only dream existed. And in the end, with
the help of the ubiquitous Hordadef, his world is changed in ways
as great and profound as the Pyramid he grows to know as deeply as
his own soul.
