“Keeper of Genesis” is a book co-authored by Robert Bauval and Graham Hancock. Published in the United States under the title “Message of the Sphinx: A Quest for the Hidden Legacy of Mankind,” it explores alternative theories about the origins of the Great Sphinx of Giza and the ancient Egyptian civilization.
Bauval and Hancock propose a controversial theory that suggests the Sphinx may be much older than commonly believed and that it may have been built by a civilization that predates ancient Egypt. They argue that the alignment of the Sphinx with the constellation of Leo and the position of the pyramids of Giza correspond to an astronomical event that occurred around 10,500 BC, indicating a possible connection to a lost civilization.
The book delves into various aspects of ancient Egyptian history, archaeology, and astronomy to support its thesis. It also discusses the significance of other ancient monuments and structures around the world, suggesting that they may hold clues to a forgotten chapter of human history.
“Keeper of Genesis” is known for its provocative ideas and its challenge to mainstream archaeological and historical interpretations. While it has generated controversy and criticism within academic circles, it has also garnered a significant following among enthusiasts of alternative history and ancient mysteries.
