The Great Pyramid Hoax: The Conspiracy to Conceal the True Histroy of Ancient Egypt

The Great Pyramid’s construction date of 2550 BCE is tied to only one piece of evidence: the quarry marks discovered by Colonel Howard Vyse in 1837. However, these marks were forged, according to this book.

The book presents evidence from the discovery period, including Vyse’s notes, surveys, drawings, and testimony. It explains why Vyse was driven to perpetrate the fraud and examines recent chemical analysis and high-definition photos to reveal errors in the forged Khufu cartouche.

Using surveys, facsimile drawings, Vyse’s private field notes, and high-definition photos, Scott Creighton reveals how and why the “quarry marks” were faked. He analyzes the anomalous orthography, contradicts ancient Egyptian writing convention, and shows one of the signs is from a later period.
