Publisher's Synopsis
Science and history writer, Andrew Collins, uncovers and explores, for the first time, catacombs, hewn chambers and cave tunnels that were first found in the 1800s but had subsequently been left unexplored and whose location was lost for 200 years. Beneath the pyramids of Egypt lies a lost underworld of catacombs, hewn chambers and cave tunnels. They are alluded to in ancient texts and Arab legends, but have been left unexplored until today. They have now been rediscovered and investigated for the first time by science and history writer, Andrew Collins. What exactly does this subterranean realm tell us about the pyramids, their relationship to the stars and the mythical origins of Egyptian civilisation? Lavishly illustrated with colour photos.
