To the memory of my father Gaston Bauval,
who rests in the land of Egypt.
Robert G. Bauval
To my friend, John Anthony West, for his twenty years of courageous work to prove the geological antiquity of the Sphinx, and for the vast implications of the evidence that he has put before the public. The truth is great and mighty, as the ancient texts say. It hath never been broken since the time of Osiris.
