A Review About My Book From An Away We Go Reading Club Ambassador

I want to share with you today what one of the Summer Reading Club Ambassadors from Away We Go Media had to say about my book, "The Hidden Chamber In The Great Sphinx".

"This is a good book about Egypt. It has interesting plot twists. It also has nice character development. This story is about Dr. Cliff Post who is an American Egyptologist. He has a friend in Egypt who found a chamber in the right paw of the great sphinx. That friend invited him on a dig in Egypt, but first they must obtain a digging permit. The only problem is that there is another archeologist trying to get the permit. This other archeologist hates American archeologists digging in Egypt. He will stop at nothing to get Cliff out of the way."

The Search for Secret Chambers on the Giza Plateau

In late August 2004, Gilles Dormion asserted that a room lies beneath the Queen’s Chamber in the Great Pyramid.

Dormion thinks that this hidden room contains the funerary equipment of Pharaoh Khufu. He believes that if and when the chamber is opened it will reveal riches which exceed those found in King Tut’s tomb.

Dormion and his partner Verd’hurt conducted a microgravimeter survey. They found that there was a cavity behind the west wall of the Queen’s Chamber.

A Japanese team conducted a ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey of the floor and walls of the Queen’s Chamber. The findings revealed a cavity which was three meters behind the north wall.

The research projects described here were done with permission of the Supreme Council of Antiquities.

Some of the teams drilled holes in the Great Pyramid.

Since that time, the Supreme Council of Antiquities have refused to let any research teams drill holes in the world’s greatest monument, which is the only remaining wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

There are many theories that there is a secret chamber in the Great Sphinx. It is believed a hidden chamber lies between the paws of the Great Sphinx.

The Great Sphinx is the oldest and the largest statue in the world. The Supreme Council of Antiquities refuses to allow anyone to drill that monument.

My book, The Hidden Chamber In The Great Sphinx

The Hidden Chamber in the Great Sphinx

In my first book, The Hidden Chamber in the Great Sphinx, I got my idea for a supercomputer composed of 13 crystal skulls from two sources. 

One source was the fact that quartz is used in the microprocessors in modern day computers. I reasoned that if a microprocessor can store thousands of songs and thousands of books then how much more knowledge could be stored in a piece of quartz the size of a man's skull.

My second source was the fact that a real ancient supercomputer does exist; it is called the Antikythera Mechanism. This device was discovered by sponge divers off the coast of Antikythera Island which is a Greek island. So, I created a fictional supercomputer based upon a real ancient computer and real microprocessor components.

When I write my fiction, I like to base on facts. This takes my fiction into the realm of the possible.
