 He really did unlock some secrets!
I read about Bauval making the connection between Orion and the Great Pyramids in Underworld: The Mysterious Origins of Civilization (Hancock devotes chapter 49 to it). I then started looking around the world for other pyramid matches to Orion, and it lead to my first book, Noah's Ark, Discovering the Science of Man's Oldest Mystery in which I reveal additional evidence that supports Hancock's ancient global civilization theory. I have now discovered new Orion connections around the Great Pyramids and I'm working on a second book that expands on Bauval's Orion Mystery. I really do believe that Bauval has unlocked an important code that the Egyptians left for future generations to discover. A great read if you like technical detail.

 good Fiction ( faghieh )
Just like the old Chariots of Gods, his books are very interesting and and entertaining. But please dont think that you are reading a scientific work. Real historical works are not as sexy and entertaining as these books just as real archeologists are not Indiana Joneses.

Amazingly boring ( ibnazer )
Granted, the author got some interesting ideas. But why does he hide them for the most part of the book? About 80% of the book is a repetitive description of different facts, theories and opinions, with the author arguing about "what is not correct", and no clue at what is he getting at. Well, not fare, he gives some clues, but not more. Sometimes it looks like he's got carried away with a need to talk (or write) without any point to deliver.
Again, that's not to say that he does not have any interesting things inside, he certainly has. It's just those interesting things would fit into 20 pages if described without well-known, repetitive and not-so-exciting things.

 AMAZING ( adoni_pub )
Next to Grahm Hancock, Robert Bauval is the creme de la creme of astro-archeology.Everything you thought you knew about the pyramids is WRONG. In the future the work of Bauval and Hancock is the marker that determines our understanding of ancient works like The Great Pyramid. We are in a 'new age' of understanding our past thanks to the works of geniuses like Bauval and Hancock. AMAZING

 Interesting but over-wrought
The story has some very interesting points, some very well researched. But there are some conclusions made which seem illogical and strain plausibility. There are points made which could have simple explanations that have already been offered, yet the authours try to explain them in a different, more circumstancial way, to fit in with their thesis.There are some very interesting parts and the book contains a large amount of useful information. If you have an open mind (or if you are a conspiracy theorist) there is much too enjoy in this book.
