Hello Martin,

I wrote, 'I see the title Secrets of the Great Pyramid as somewhat inappropriate.'

You ask, 'In what way? Is it not about the Great Pyramid? Does it not suggest that the pyramid may very well have secrets?'

I had asked myself much the same question.
I hold that there is another passage and chamber inside Khufu's pyramid, but as it has yet to be found I would argue that the GP really does have a secret.
However, looking at Tompkins' book overall I felt that to allow 'Secrets' in the title solely on the strength of my theory was stretching things a bit.

And now an admission.
I have been arguing that Tompkins does not favour any particular GP theory, and I have just discovered I am wrong in this.
I have just read the book's introduction* and now see that Tompkins supports (or appears to) the theories about geodetic data, etc., being encoded in the GP's dimensions.
I find it puzzling that I did not detect this in the body of the book, particularly as I have spent literally decades arguing against such theories.

I have read your posts re Jessie Piazzi Smyth, and the problems Tompkins had with the Italian publishers, and thank you for the feedback.

Presently, none of this gives me cause to change my overall view that Tompkins' book is good for what it is.
It will be interesting to see if and for how long I can hang on to this view winking smiley

Regards,

MJ

*I've had my copy of Tompkins' book for some 35 years and may well have read the introduction at some point, but I have no recollection of having done so.
