stunning ~ superlatives fail me
the photography within this tome is magnificent ~ tho' the picture of the goats flung me a bit! not that ive anything against the creatures ~ quite the opposite in fact. indeed on reflection, this photograph brings the philosophical cosmology into bas relief as well as underpinning karnaks great humanity.

.... i cannot give high enough praise or consideration to the commentaries by schwaller de lubicz ~ they are erudite + thought provoking as well as reasoned. this meeting of egyptology + philosophy is serious stuff + very, very pertinent to scholars of (pharaonic) theology + cosmology as well as egyptology.

the price is hefty, but u will be purchasing not only a scholarly work, but a 'divinely inspired' work of art. the presentation + packaging screams quality + the contents is breath taking.

this is a book that recrowns the notion of books being the epitome of human achievement.

An Excellent Record of Karnak
An excellent record of the Karnak Temples with magnificent photographs. A large and heavy book, well worth the price for those with a serious interest in Egypt
