TABLE OF CONTENTS

TO GENEVIEVE

THIS volume contains the substance of a series of illustrated lectures dealing with the subject of the Great Pyramid of Gizeh as recently given by the author in a number of the leading cities of the United States of America, notably those of the Pacific Coast area and of the Southwestern and Central portions of the nation, in each instance to splendid groups of earnest students. It is at their kind request that this book is written; and the author is grateful to them for the suggestion.

In the preparation of this work the author has in view the primary purpose of practical utility. He has endeavored also to combine clarity of presentation with simplicity of style. Toward that end only simple, everyday English is employed, language which all of average educational attainments may read, easily assimilate, and fully comprehend. Brevity of text, within certain limits, has been attempted, too; but in dealing with a subject so very comprehensive in scope as that of the Great Pyramid, it being nearly an inexhaustible fountain of recorded wisdom, it is difficult to feature conciseness of contents and still bring forth the fruits desired. Consequently this volume has gone quite beyond the range originally contemplated for it. A particular effort has been made to avoid matters of an abstruse and technical nature, to omit controversial topics, and to shun conclusions of a chimerical type. Yet the author has tried to retain the prime essentials of authenticity and appeal to the interest of the reader.

For the benefit of those readers who do not enjoy having the flow of the reading text broken into, and their concentration more or less disrupted, by the injection of dry mathematics, however simplified the figures may be, a complete appendix, devoted exclusively to some of the astonishing mathematical wonders of the Great Pyramid, is found herein. In that portion of the volume all mathematical materials are reduced to primary arithmetic, no process more difficult than simple proportion being employed. The principles and solutions recorded there are vital, since it is only by their use that many of the startling assertions made herein can be proved beyond peradventure of doubt, or cavilling claim that the facts given are pure coincidence. Mathematics being an exact, or absolute, science, coincidence cannot enter into it; principle, and that only, prevails there.

The very nature of this book, that of the substance of a series of lectures, renders it difficult to avoid repetition of some statements; and again repetition is wilfully utilized for purposes of placing stress on portions deemed worthy of retention in memory. The reader may as well accustom himself early in his study hereof to bewildering assertions anent the wonders of the Great Pyramid, and the mighty wisdom of its architect; facts of that nature often follow closely one upon the other herein, this being a condensed volume.

The dimensions of the Great Pyramid, wherever quoted, either as a whole or in part, are based on the sterling measurements of Sir Flinders Petrie, and their absolute verification as done scientifically by D. Davidson. In the materials found in the appendix credit is given to D. Davidson, H. W. J. Senior, Piazzi Smyth and Sir Flinders Petrie.

The author wishes to express herein his deep appreciation of the masterly works of the following writers, to whom the world of today is indebted for most of its authentic knowledge of the marvels of the Great Pyramid, and to make grateful acknowledgment of the assistance their excellent volumes have been to him in the pursuit of his studies and in the compilation of this book: To D. Davidson of Leeds, England, and his late collaborator, H. Aldersmith, whose eminently scientific and scholarly volume, The Great Pyramid, Its Divine Message, is a constant companion and ceaseless source of information and inspiration; to Professor Piazzi Smyth, late Astronomer Royal of Scotland, and his text, Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid; to the late Doctor Joseph A. Siess of Philadelphia, author of A Miracle in Stone; to Morton Edgar of Glasgow, Scotland, for three of his splendid works, The Great Pyramid, Its Scientific Features, The Great Pyramid, Its Time Features and The Great Pyramid, Its Spiritual Symbolism; to Charles S. Knight and his volume, The Mystery and Prophecy of the Great Pyramid; to the late Judge Thomas Troward of India and England, able and learned metaphysician, and his several volumes; and to Genevieve Behrend, only personal pupil of Judge Troward. Thru the courtesy of Genevieve Behrend, the author has had the good fortune to have had at his command Judge Trowards excellent, voluminous, and for the greater part altogether unpublished, notes on the Great Pyramid, on which Troward based his lectures on that subject in London in 1912, just prior to his return to Ruan Manor, Cornwall, to give two years of intensive, personal instruction to Genevieve Behrend. Grateful mention is also happily made of the works of the following authors: John Taylor of London, one of the very first to correctly interpret some of the Great Pyramids true message, General Howard Vyse, Colonel Garnier, John Greaves, Nathaniel Davison, Sir Flinders Petrie, and others of no less prominence, whose ceaseless labors have been instrumental in shedding more light upon The Great Pyramid of Gizeh, the Miracle of the Ages.

WORTH SMITH

THE ancients, in conferring upon the Great Pyramid of Gizeh the predominant distinction of being the first of the Seven Wonders of the World, perchance chose more wisely than they themselves realized. Even now in our modern day, based strictly on the face value of the exhibits at hand, and despite the rapid strides in the dissemination of learning and the resultant progress among many peoples of many lands, the same unique and exalted honor can be ascribed to the marvelous structure of antiquity with equal aptness and claim to its being a worthy and just award. It is very probable that there is no single, man-made object on the face of the earth today which is attracting the widespread attention, and captivating the interest of so many earnest people, as is the case of the Great Pyramid. Especially is this fact applicable to the so-called Christian nations whose members compose approximately one-third of the total population of the earth; and the statement is particularly true of the English-speaking races, consisting in the main of the British Empire and the United States of America, the Great Pyramid directing as it does a most significant message to the Anglo-Saxons.
