The Giza Power Plant
Discussion
Has anyone read the following book? It's not a cheap Kindle copy, but it looks like something different to read.

I bought a copy a while ago following a great discussion with some one who had read it, but haven't got round to reading it yet. 
Not much use to you really, that comment, was it ?
It is useful thanks as I know someone else has read it. Not much use to you really, that comment, was it ?
What did they think of it? Must have been worth a punt as you have it? Thanks.
Yes, I've got that one. Is it worth reading ? Hard to say although I found it fascinating in parts, and "hmm, not sure" in others.
The basic premise is that the Giza pyramid wasn't a tomb but a powerplant which generated electricity for the surrounding district in a period which pre dates the commonly accepted Egyptian civilization of King Tut et al.
The author has a good engineering background and uses that to examine the structure in detail and derives theories about what it was built for, how it worked, etc. Certainly he describes construction details that you wouldn't normally consider to have been part of tomb-making 4/5,000 yrs ago and he does have some interesting theories about possible chemical reactions going on. He doesn't go on about aliens building it, in fact I don't think he made any assumption on who created it other than that he didn't believe it was the Egyptians in 2500BC.
So, if you're fairly open-minded and have an interest in such things, yes, it will make you think a bit. If such matters bore you, you're convinced the academics are right with the text-book version of history, then you won't like it.
