Between The Paws Of The Sphinx: Orion Springs To Life

From the time we’re little, we read about Egypt. All our lives we learn about these mythical structures that are one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Finally, I was there and I had special access that is permitted to very, very few people.

Our Egyptian guide had been giving tours of the pyramids for 18 years and she had never been allowed into the inner enclosure around the Sphinx. Yet, there I was, literally between its paws, listening to Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock, two incredibly erudite men who have researched and written greatly on ancient civilizations, give their theory about the pyramids and the Sphinx.
It was an incredible, atmospheric moment, and one that very few other people are likely to repeat.

Robert Bauval And The Orion Correlation Theory

Robert Bauval has written three books with Graham Hancock about ancient civilizations, and another book with Adrian Gilbert, called the Orion Mystery which was published in 1993. Basically, he came up with the original theory that the three main pyramids of Giza were aligned to the constellation Orion; in fact, the two big pyramids are in line and then there’s one slightly off and that looks like exactly like Orion.

Back in 1993, his theory was very controversial and became known as the Orion Correlation Theory. Over the last 15 years or so, it’s gradually been more or less accepted by the establishment, although grudgingly, and I’m not sure they really want to give Robert credit for it.

Over the last 15 years, Robert’s spent a lot of time expanding his research and he now believes that all of the various pyramids and temples in lower and upper Egypt are one big star map that correspond to the stars above.
