BOOK - Pharaonic Egypt - The golden age of the pyramids

The pyramids were not tombs but matrices of eternity which “wearied time”… It is this essential revelation of the golden age of Pharaonic civilization that Christian Jacq tells us, with his incomparable pen. .   He invites us, in a richly illustrated work, to discover the extraordinary adventure of these builders who were nourished by sacred sciences: astrology, magic, alchemy.   He explains to us why no slave ever worked on the construction of the pyramids.   Why have the latter never hidden the slightest mortal body, since the pyramid is the incarnation of Osiris. HASThrough this fascinating story, Christian Jacq also makes us perceive the deep meaning and scope of the initiatory rituals which animated the souls of the builders.   It shows us how the ancient Egyptians faced daily trials but also death, which they did not fear since it opened onto eternity.   As Christian Jacq recalls – affirmed – the first sentence of the Pyramid Texts: “Pharaoh did not leave dead, he left alive”!
