About This Book

The work advances an interpretation that the Egyptian pyramids functioned as royal storehouses and granaries established under the direction of the biblical Joseph, and that their interior passages and the Sphinx correspond to practical entrances and storage arrangements. It links Joseph as builder and Moses as recorder, treats the Tower of Babel as a conceptual prototype, and situates the Hebrew sojourn in Egypt alongside these structures. Later chapters consider Moses' missions, comparative ancient granaries, and the reputed death and apotheosis of Moses. Appendices compile discussions of famine records, the Septuagint translation, Herodotus' descriptions, harvest feast practices, and prophetic material about Egypt.
