Inspired by the work of John Taylor, Smyth paid his own way to Egypt to examine and measure the Great Pyramid. The result was this book, which alongside Taylor's 'The Great Pyramid: Why Was It Built? & Who Built It?,' became one of the core works of the Pyramid as tool of Biblical Prophecy school of thought. This edition much enlarged from earlier editions. Light ordinary shelfwear, modest creasing and light flecking to cloth of upper board, light bumping and rubbing to spine ends and rubbing to points. Overall a clean better-than-VG copy. Item #67238
