Product Description

by R. A. Schwaller De Lubicz

Synopsis:

This magnificent volume is a detailed photographic record, with insightful commentary by R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz, of the monuments, ruins, statues, and bas-reliefs of the ancient Egyptian temples of Karnak. In the years since these photographs were taken, vandalism has occured at some of the sites, making this the most complete archaeological documentation available. This book is a companion volume to The Temple of Man.

Biography:

R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz (1887-1961) was one of the most important philosophers, mathematicians, and Egyptologists of this century. His elucidation of the temple at Luxor and his presentation of the Egyptian understanding of a special quality of innate consciousness form a bridge that links the sacred science of the Ancients to its rediscovery in our own time.
