Egyptian Dawn: Exposing the Real Truth Behind Ancient Egypt, by Robert Temple

A fascinating look into the real history of the ancient civilizations, including revelatory new evidence which challenges accepted truths about the history of Egypt.

The mysteries of Ancient Egypt have proved an endless source of fascination to the world. Here, for the first time, international bestselling author Robert Temple seeks to expose the real history of this ancient civilization. In this fascinating study, Temple unearths revelatory new evidence which challenges accepted truths about the history of Egypt and questions the evidence which most Egyptologists have relied on since 1910. In doing so he has sought to answer the two big questions which have until now been taken for granted: Where did Egyptian civilization come from? And who built the pyramids, and why?

With unprecedented access to lost portions of the valley temple which have long been closed to archaeologists, Temple presents a sensational, reconstructed story of Egypt which exposes a magnitude of previously unseen evidence, including:

Pinpointing exact locations of unopened royal tombs

Presenting re-datings of key monuments using a revolutionary
new dating technique

Exposing faked evidence which has been credulously accepted by the Egyptological community

Revealing who really built the pyramids

Unearthing the real truth about Egypt's most amazing pyramid, Giza

Packed full of fantastic, never-before-seen photographs, which provide hard evidence to support Temple's claims, Egyptian Dawn opens many paths to the truth in the story of Egypt.

Giza, Stonehenge, and the `kitchen sink'---Temple's work really delivers.
By Charles Kos PhD
This is the one!

Credit should go where it is due. I have had so many paradigms blown open, and I was so excited in reading this work, which is Temple's true labor of love, created out of the genius of his love for research, that it inspired me to write this, my first Amazon review.

I have waited all my life for this book.

I read The Sirius Mystery long ago at university. I felt uncomfortable with it, because I felt he was going too deeply into analysing what I felt was essentially an story, tantalising though the information might be. After that book he took a more conventional turn in his writings, as several other excellent authors, such as Mark Lehner have done, having overcome youthful exuberance. I was and am continuing to be simply blown away by information provided in his later The Crystal Sun, and still have not finished reading that ponderous though informative work, which has taken Temple decades to write. Temple is a man interested in the truth and will not release a work incomplete, with arguments insufficiently developed.

In reading that book, (ongoing) I was shocked that here was an ancient mysteries author, somehow different from all the others. He appeared to be an order of magnitude more intelligent and capable, not merely consulting original ancient texts, such as Pliny, in selected areas, but having actually purchased and read the whole catalogue of Pliny and other relevant primary-source works, by relevant authors, and not just penguin classics, (he has even authored one) but Loeb editions as well. That is something that historians will not always do. They will often favour the judgements of a secondary source over any primary material, if it goes contrary to what the primary material states.

I like Robert Temple because he uses primary sources. Looking up secondary sources is much easier than dredging up what is often treated as questionable untranslatable hearsay from primary works. Such ideas can often be explained away as later manuscript additions anyway. Temple is always ready to go off on a little tangent and share with the reader some exciting translated information that one will never otherwise read elsewhere, something from an impossible-to-find translation of an obscure corrected 2nd edition of a text he acquired from the auction of some old academic's private library. It is a research trait which is very commendable and can only come from a man who is truly passionate and in love with his work.

To the book. Firstly, I have dedicated some of my life to finding out about and reading books about Stonehenge. From about the age 10, I would go into the libraries searching and reading out any megalith books.

When I finally got this book in my hands and opened it up, as many do, and went straight to looking at the plates. I was quite shocked, to say the least. I saw a picture of Stonehenge, which was evidently not photographed in Britain. Imagine a classic linteled Sarsen structure set in what looks like the grassland of the African Savannah? He actually turned up a black and white photograph of what appears to be a rectangular Sarsen-type arrangement, photographed in the 1870s. That alone makes this book worth 10 stars, let alone 5, for it is the photograph which has been missing from every single Stonehenge book, (perhaps 1000?) which have been written in the 20th century. For me it is more exciting than if an Arthur C. Clark obelisk had popped up in Jupiter.

Imagine, all that wasted paper and wasted effort, crafting books based upon limited information, simply because a 19th-century book on Libyan megaliths had never been consulted by Stonehenge authors? There have been countless diffusionist authors writing books on Stonehenge being Mycenaean, or even Egyptian, almost wasting decades of their lives. I have not seen a theory suggesting a link to the Libyans. If only the author of that original publication had called his work `Stonehenge in Africa', instead of the unsearchable (by Stonehenge researchers) `The Hill of Graces: A record of investigation among the Trilithons and Megalithic sites of Tripoli'?

I like his theory of a former `Libyan' naval empire, of before the third millennium BC, because it explains a riddle I was interested in. Local lore states that the stones of Callanish, Western Isles, had been built by people who arrived on boats, priests who had feathers in their hair. I thought this linked them, possibly to the Minoans, or Libyans, (who may have worn feathered headdresses) but I had never envisaged the link to Stonehenge as well.

In rapturous excitement I began emailing my antiquarian friends all the exciting things I was now discovering inside. I knew Temple was clever before, but this book puts him on a whole new level for me. He is for me, the greatest ancient-mysteries author in the world at this time.

Temple is a kind of renaissance man, able to work assiduously in both the humanities, as well as mathematics, and other areas of science. The chapter number on the geometry patterns he has uncovered, with obviously painstaking research, had me once again bouncing up and down and emailing disinterested people all this exciting info that I was reading in Temple's book. It would be mind-blowing for any pyramid mathematician or geodesy specialist. The discussion on the Pythagorean comma, also explained in The Crystal Sun, is paradigm-shifting stuff, potentially in many fields, not to mention the potential for future research that this opens up, as a way of possibly understanding early Egyptian conceptions of physics, matter, (or Egyptian concepts of the illusion of matter!) and the natural order, in former manuscripts of the Old Kingdom, which perished millennia before the opening of the Library of Alexandria.

Temple says he created a huge paper overlay of Giza to engineering precision, and uncovered a kind of grid square encompassing the pyramids which contains many mathematical patterns relevant to Egyptian art. The phrase, p. 38, `The Giza plateau was thus laid out in the most complex imaginable multiply-correlated triple design plan which was meant to be impenetrable to any investigator and to remain forever secret. It was specifically designed so that if anyone ever figured out one of the design plans they would never figure out the other two, and the decoded information would thus always be incomplete. However they did not reckon that someone armed with modern surveys could figure out all three of them,' had me running fingers through my hair in shock, forcing me to re-evaluate everything I thought I knew about Giza, and almost dancing with excitement.

Yes Mr Temple, the Egyptian pyramid mathematicians and architects were indeed obsessive-compulsive enough to try something like that. I do not wish to say anything unfair or incorrect, re Temple, but I did not then see anything to connect this remarkable statement, attached to the end of a figure, with. (perhaps a teaser for a future book?) I think he perhaps originally intended to connect this statement with some idea perhaps of how he possibly also discovered the locations of the tombs for Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaura, (as he also claims in this book) underneath removable slabs inside their funerary temples, in so doing, finding the tomb almost Raiders-of-the-Lost-Ark style, by deciphering an ancient puzzle. The quoted revelation did not seem to lead to a conclusion regarding the overlay, (his research is ongoing) which was a let down. I would like to point out that the native Saite kingly burials from the 26th dynasty were under temples, and they certainly took a keen interest in Giza, though they chose to build a brand new sarcophagus for Menkaura's pyramid.

Instead of some seeming mathematical alignment, which is what I was hoping for, a clue to the location of the tombs, Temple says, is the presence of what he thinks are guide-rope grooves. The one on the floor of the Sphinx Temple, marked as `drain' in early surveys was left at that. Temple says it was used to lower a sarcophagus down with ropes, and it possibly contains a tomb of someone before `Cheops', due to its possible deeper antiquity. This is all very exciting. Temple says it is time for archaeologists to start digging, to shed light on this whole mystery.

I have decided that I only want to give a review if a book can be given five stars, and this book has got it, and then some. This review, however, would be useless without some critical commentary, so I wish to provide some.

The stones above the King's Chamber inside the Khufu pyramid contain red graffiti, a cartouche of the Royal name, which says something resembling `Khufu'. This was uncovered in the early 19th century by Mr Richard Vyse (1784 – 1853) . It is a mark which conveniently identifies the pyramid builder. For Temple, perhaps too conveniently, for he thinks Vyse relied upon it to make his reputation as a discoverer.

Temple has written quite an argument against the red-paint markings as being genuine. This is a controversial and weak area to have chosen, particularly in light of the fresh hindsight of a recent discovery.

One trait of the markings which makes them appear genuine is that they seem to go underneath overlapping rocks placed later. In other words they were written on the stones before they were placed. That makes it seem more inconvenient that they should have been, by accident, placed there to read, inside one of the only chambers one can, (only with dynamite blasting) get into. He has argued that there is no evidence that the markings actually go underneath the stones.

Why not say, `let us wait until we have more information before rushing to judgement?' regarding the red paint. In fact, instead of arguing when or why certain crafty individuals may have forged entries into their diaries, why not just state the obvious, that we do not know for sure, and suggest that some officially-sanctioned and supervised experiment might be conducted, to clarify the issue? That can eventually be done, but it does not have to be.

I was thinking `why argue this?'. The reason is, that he needs the pyramids to be pre-4th dynasty for the carbon and new-technology stone datings to make sense, showing that they are earlier structures, possibly built by Libyans entering Egypt from the west. He also wishes very much to explain his 3000 BC stone-dating of the Menkaura pyramid. He talks about this considerably, but I would point out that it is but one dating, of one pyramid, and therefore statistically inadmissible to an argument regarding Giza. The carbon datings alone, are much better evidence, and are sufficient to establish that the pyramids are `older.' Robert Schoch thinks the earlier datings are explainable by the pyramids having been built from earlier structures. Temple also rightly shows that the pyramids contain materials which are a little too old, but states that this implies the 4th dynasty structures were built earlier, when this may not be the case.

As of 2014, it was discovered that there is in fact very similar red paint at the ends of a pyramid shaft. One pyramid shaft is eight inches in diameter, so presumably Mr Vyse did not order anyone to crawl all the way up to write something which was never going to be discovered in his lifetime. I am unsure whether the discovery preceded two overenthusiastic German antiquarians who in 2014, chipped away at the Khufu cartouche with a chisel, in order to have a sample for date testing. The irony is that the probable answer to the enigma lay in the shaft. Herodotus wrote that the pyramids were once covered with information pertaining to the food for work crews, and it is indeed workmanlike hieroglyphs which were discovered in these various chambers.

Temple however is (obviously as of 2010, but I am not sure his current opinion) adamant that the red paint is forgery, but as a reader, I did not feel convinced. There are many explanations for why a discovery would not be entered into a diary, exhaustion perhaps. In spite of all this, he has made quite an argument, the definitive argument for any future followers, that the red paint markings have been forged in the 19th century. Believing in this contention, he wanted to formulate this argument as an intellectual exercise, to see what could be dredged up. Having put a lot of work into it, he was bound to put it in his work, and is certainly convinced by it. I am glad he made it because he is a man clever enough to have done it, the right man for the job, and it makes for interesting reading.

There is a danger of a possible house of cards of mutually supporting controversial ideas in Temple's analysis. For instance. He accepts Joseph Davidovits' theory of cast stone, re the almost overlapping Egyptian pyramid blocks. Since the pyramids are apparently cast of cement, why should there be any red quarry marks at all? (These marks are known to have been made in quarries to delineate the size of the limestone block to be cut.) This then lends support to Temple's theory, based upon datings, that the pyramids are older than the three kings associated with them, since the red cartouches can no longer be associated with Khufu. The fact he is so convinced by most of his ideas really makes the book rather entertaining. It is as if Temple is saying `look, I am presenting the evidence. Here it is, ignored for decades, which proves my case.'

Temple has quite a passion for the works of early archaeologists, and rightly so. He is aware that their works may turn up details of ruins which are simply no-longer extant. In furtherance of this passion, he is not quite up on the modern terminology. He refers to the Khufu, Khafra, and Menkaura pyramids as the Cheops, Chefren and Mycerinus pyramids (the names supplied by Herodotus), perhaps in furtherance of his arguments that the former names are not the builders of these pyramids, but later kings who have effectively usurped them, recycled them. He also calls King Djoser by the more romantic and older-style Zozer. His love for the `z' extends to 1st dynasty king `Enezib', (Adjib).

The picture of Adjib's tomb, which Temple provides, is known and can also be found in Mark Lehner's The Complete Pyramids, p. 81, but that lacks Temple's explanations and investigation, which are priceless as they place the pyramid in a wider context. Yes, it indeed appears to be a stepped pyramid, a platform not simply a mound, which is located inside a niched mastaba. It would have been placed over a burial. This really helped me. It sort of implies that the stepped mound, hidden inside the Adjib mastaba, already had a ritual use, at the start of Egyptian civilisation, even if it is not encountered elsewhere in Egypt. (except in the possible shape of later mastabas)

I am reading a 2004 work by a pyramid Egyptologist, who writes that the rise and fall of the Nile gave rise to notions of a world mound of creation emerging from waters of creation: an Egyptian idea. Not so. The world mound is found around the world in early mythology, and represented in third-millenium BC mounds in Europe which preceded or paralleled the building of many Egyptian pyramids. I think that pyramid-building cultures from East, West, and in Egypt, merged their ideas, in Egypt, at different times, in the Delta region rather than in upper Egypt, in different dynasties, to create fusions of ever-new pyramid ideas. This was all before the great pyramid-building idea died out in the second millennium. I am currently working on a book, in what I would hope is the now-emerging field of world pyramids, (see Robert Schoch Voyages of the Pyramid Builders, or Phillip Coppens The New Pyramid Age for information on worldwide pyramid builders) I think that Temple's idea that Adjib's tomb is indeed topped by a pyramid, but in the first dynasty, before pyramids are supposed to have been built, due to the supposed evolution from the mastaba, is a fascinating one with some serious implications, as he points out.

The existence of the stepped pyramid platform complicates the archaeologist's explanation that there is a clear evolution from mound of earth over the grave, to stepped pyramid, entirely in Egypt, which ignores the development of pyramids or pyramid-like mounds everywhere else at the same time. It appears that since the stepped platform was utilised elsewhere, globally, in the third millennium BC, a neighbouring culture may have transplanted this idea to Egypt, probably a naval culture, since pyramids from the third millennium often are associated with boat burial. Another culture I can think of which conducts boat burials would be the Vikings. It would be a partly seafaring people, or with seafaring ancestors, who would be interested in funerary boats for the afterlife, (unless they thought of the afterlife as a sojourn down the Nile) and these boats appear right from the beginning of Egyptian history, adjoining the tomb of King Hor-Aha, the first king of the first dynasty. On the other hand, it has also been argued that boats were required for royal transport in Egypt, so the king would want one in the afterlife. The Khufu boat is certainly not an ocean-going vessel. Temple argues for a possible naval empire of megalith builders, who may be partly responsible for Giza.

Temple is also helping to bring archaeo-astronomy to Giza! He made a remarkable discovery in the c. 1998, that a shadow cast from the Khafre pyramid, upon the south face of the Khufu pyramid, at winter solstice, reflects an internal angle of the pyramid shafts. It is a discovery he says was supported, in conversation, by Dr Zahi Hawass, a Giza specialist.

Imagine if the hoards of archeo-astronomers, currently focused on Stonehenge, were to divert their attention to Egypt, more in the spirit of Norman Lockyer. It is quite exciting, the amount of possible fields that Temple opens up with his book. There is no-one else who will go to the early archaeological reports in order to point out inconsistencies with modern ideas which are now taken for granted as established fact, simply because there has been so little opposition to ideas glossed over, for decades.

This is one of the most exciting books I have ever read. It is not something I would read again however, for the rediscovery pleasure. That does not seem to be there, second time round. There are also other Temple books to read (about eleven!) which each take up a great deal of time. Then there are other authors. Temple also takes a long time to come to his conclusions, but I have a feeling I will always be going back to consult this work. This, like all his books, is a excellent minefield of information on old texts, no longer consulted, and therefore highly relevant for structuring and clarifying new information, in a timeless context.

I salute Mr Temple for sharing his impressive, interesting insights, and research, with the wider public. Thank you for making this wonderful book.

Promises A Lot and Delivers Little
By atomicoverload.com
I have read a few of Robert Temple's books, and whatever promise they hold for unique insights and theories are quickly crushed by the repetitive bloviation of minutia regarding every detail of every detail often not even relevant to the overall thesis, and in the end, if you can make it that far, reveals little if any substance regarding these alleged "big discoveries". In short, his books at times are literally painful to read with little payoff regarding the bigger picture and Egyptian Dawn is no exception. This is unfortunate because he is decent writer and at times interjects unexpected humor usually lacking from the genre and his research is impeccably exhaustive often delivering information and early photos you will be hard pressed to find anywhere else if at all. He is quite unique in that regard and should be commended and recognized for his efforts, but this I believe is his downfall as a writer in that he seems more impressed with his research and making the reader understand this brilliance by explaining and repeating the how/what/when/where/why of every little nugget instead of getting out of his own way and writing a good book which keeps its promises. A particularly annoying thing as well is that he often refers to a book he is planning on writing in the near future which would actually deliver on his claims yet without that book are almost meaningless. The fact is, the Sphinx Mystery, Egyptian Dawn, and his "next book" could easily, and mercifully, be combined into one and be infinitely more influential and entertaining.

One curious thing about Egyptian Dawn is though Temple reports that through his own unique research he has revealed that the cartouches in the relieving chambers of the Great Pyramid are forgeries, he claims to have never read or heard about Zecharia Sitchin's often repeated previous work regarding this same exact thing which Temples conclusions are a direct mirror. He makes note of Sitchin saying he reviewed his work after the fact, and maybe it is an eerie "coincidence", but all things considered I find this really hard to believe. Regardless, it is worthwhile at least that Temple did his own research and agrees, which right or wrong, gives at least some validation to Sitchin's original claims.

Also, the new ground-breaking dating techniques which are said to rewrite history are not so ground-breaking and have such a huge rate of error +/- that they are rendered almost meaningless.

With that being said, regardless of the nosebleeds you may incur, his books are in the end worthwhile and a study unto themselves about the importance of researching antiquarian documents and the many things once discovered now forgotten. He does have some interesting things to contribute, yet do not expect too much meat on the bone regarding the grand claims this book purports to offer. But I'm sure the NEXT book will be really great....

The brightest academic mind in our dark times
By New voice
In the future no modern academic will be remembered - except with shame. All modern academics have made a mess of ancient human history. Who will be remembered? - deep thinkers like Robert Temple.

He finally discovers the real purpose of the Giza complex. Its a mathematical monument to the astral, that is cosmological mind. who but Robert temple could have the original, non-standard academic mind (of genius) to study the ancient and 19th century texts to find what all other researchers have neglected. What unbelievable patience he has shown in all his books. all his books read like a detective story. The subject? the origin of the human mind. What does he find? Our mind is monumented with cosmology - all ignored by modern academics.

Sure he has many rich diversions - but it is the diversions of a brilliant mind who has more to deliver to the world then he can manage at times. He is the only strong author who is able to counter the internet multi-cultural propaganda of Black Africa etc. He discovers that the ancient "Libyans" were a light skinned race (Celtic?) that made the vanished rich monolithic culture that existed from Britain (Stonehenge) down to North Africa, and were the ruling class of ancient Egypt. These "Libyans" were the "race" that built the great monuments of Egypt --- Not the impoverished, starving nomadic subsistence farmers of Nubian extract, etc. The truth is hard to say these days. But Temple finds a powerful way to face the winds of modernist multi-cultural re-writing of Western history.

I have traveled twice to the Giza Plateau to verify his discoveries. I have seen his theories and researches already entered the culture: i.e. The interesting new epic poem of a space faring civilization, In My Atom is Ark, Chandos ring - contains many of his conclusions - so his work will live on even in the works of epic poets. Robert temple is the brightest academic light of our generation. Buy all his books and be enlightened about the "real" human past. Just to have his book in my house makes me feel sound and whole as an intellectual. I buy copies for my friends and family - so that tells you everything about this treasure of a man. (and no, I dont know him and he has not paid me to say these things:)
