About the author

Christopher Dunn has an extensive background as a craftsman, starting his career as an indentured apprentice in his hometown of Manchester, England. Recruited by an aerospace manufacturing company, he immigrated to the United States in 1969. Over the past 49 years, Chris has worked at every level of high-tech manufacturing from machinist, toolmaker, programmer and operator of high-power industrial lasers, Project Engineer and Laser Operations Manager. For the past 16 year, he has served as Human Resource Director for a Midwest aerospace manufacturer.
Chris's pyramid odyssey began in 1977 after he read Peter Tompkins' book Secrets of the Great Pyramid. His immediate reaction after learning of the Great Pyramid's precision and design characteristics was to consider that this edifice may have had an original purpose that differed from conventional opinion. After further research and study of source material on various theories, Chris concluded that it must have originally been built to provide a highly technical society with energy—in short, it was a very large machine. Discovering the purpose of this machine and documenting his case has taken the better part of twenty years of research and following the 1998 publication of Chris’s book, “The Giza Power Plant: Technologies of Ancient Egypt” which describes a holistic energy device that is harmonically coupled with the Earth.
Chris has published over a dozen magazine articles, including the much quoted "Advanced Machining in Ancient Egypt" in Analog, August 1984, and has had his research referenced in over a dozen books on Egypt. In the United States he has appeared on PAX Television, the Travel Channel, Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, Lifetime Television and most recently on the History Channel in the Ancient Alien episode “The Evidence”.
Chris’s second book, entitled “Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt: Advanced Engineering in the Temples of the Pharaohs” focuses on an important aspect of his research into the manufacturing capabilities of the ancient Egyptians and through his engineer’s eye and camera, reveals to his readers previously overlooked magisterial characteristics of Egyptian architectural and manufacturing wizardry.

- Reviewed in Canada on July 20, 2016Verified PurchaseI have worked in a closely related field to Christopher Dunn and I am very impressed with his research and the detail he has collected. He has managed to account for many details that traditional Egyptologists are confused by.. It was a fascinating read. Most of the theories he has purposed are very well constructed, presented and convincing. He says himself that the ultimate use of the power that would flow from the structure is a mater of conjecture. His conjecture is good but there are also other possibilities. Overall a very interesting and thought stimulating read, I would highly recommend this book to anyone with a background or interest in the physical sciences.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lavoro molto interessante.
Verified PurchaseQuando si parla di Antico Egitto le teorie "alternative" sono veramente infinite e quindi occorre fare una severa scrematura alla fonte, perché l'alieno e i dischi volanti sono sempre facili da inserire...
Tra le tante teorie, scartando quindi quelle basate su postulati risibili e infondati e che affondano le loro basi solo sulla fantasia più sfrenata, quella che ha catturato la mia attenzione e che merita comunque di essere valutata, è quella di Christopher Dunn.
Dunn ha fatto un lavoro molto meticoloso, onesto e preciso, che gli è costato anni ed anni di ricerche specialistiche, fornendoci così una indagine molto accurata che sicuramente apre il raggio delle ipotesi verso nuove ed interessanti possibilità.
Sicuramente l'approccio metodologico di Dunn merita rispetto e attenzione.
Purtroppo tutte le pubblicazioni e le conferenze di Christopher Dunn non sono tradotte in italiano, ma se masticate un po' di inglese troverete molti spunti interessanti anche per una ricerca personale...

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinant
Verified PurchaseUne hypothèse séduisante voir convaincante à des années lumières du narratif égyptologique officiel. Une seule certitude pour moi, la destinée des pyramides n'était pas de servir de tombeau aux pharaons. L'hypothèse de DUNN reste une hypothèse. La lecture de ce livre m'a pourtant ouvert les yeux au point que, depuis, je jette un regard entièrement neuf sur les autres pyramides. Mystérieuse Egypte...

5.0 out of 5 stars This book may hold the key to endless renewable energy -- and the future of mankind.
Verified PurchaseThis book is well worth reading for anyone who has ever asked, "How did they build the Pyramids" or "If the Egyptians built the Great Pyramids, how did they forget how to do it?". Using layman terms, Mr. Dunn takes the reader on a journey that he, himself, traveled over a 20-year period for answers. During his research, Mr. Dunn discovers information and artifacts that cannot be replicated without the use of advanced technology, and cannot be explained by Egyptologist. Many of these artifacts had been hidden from public view for many years.
Questions Mr. Dunn attempts to answer in his book are those such as "in a time before iron or steel, how were granite blocks cut with such precision?" and "what were the suspended granite monoliths above the kings chamber for, and what broke them?".
In the past, all questions about the pyramids were taken to the Egyptian curators. The problem being that these experts are students of passed down historical information -- of which many of the answers passed down were from fairly recent explorers that were guessing as to the nature and purpose of the artifacts, not scientists or engineers using empirical data.
Mr. Dunn has exposed, recorded and categorized unexplainable information and artifacts relating to the pyramids that has been ignored, dismissed, or hidden by Egyptologist. Then using a novel approach for getting answers to these questions about the pyramids, Mr. Dunn took the anomalous information and/or artifacts to technological experts (scientists, engineers, academia, and tradesmen) to find an answer to the simplest way of reproducing the artifact, or explaining the anomaly.
In many cases, Mr. Dunn found that it would take advanced technology, even by today's standards, to replicate the artifacts. He also found that conventional explanations given by Egyptologists regarding anomalous information to be frequently inaccurate and not plausible, and that there were simpler scientific explanations. In other cases, many of the technological marvels of the pyramids cannot be explained by the technological experts or reproduced with the finest and most advanced technology today.
Based on the answers given by experts in their field from around the world, Mr. Dunn is able to establish a body of evidence that substantiates his claim that the Great Pyramid could not have been built by masses wielding only copper chisels and stone hammers to produce such a magnificent engineering colossus. Precise measurements and empirical data, along with expert testimony, drove Mr. Dunn to an obvious conclusion that not even he expected.
I have read this book, many times, and being from Missouri, have tried to pick it apart -- I have been unsuccessful. The evidence presented in this work is concise and accurate. Against popular opinion and conventional wisdom, Mr. Dunn is open-minded and has the curiosity, persistence, and tenacity to search for the truth without regard to negative peer-pressure, harassment, and even putting his own reputation at stake in presenting his evidence.
I have read the very negative and lengthy review that suggest the use of geopolymers as opposed to Mr. Dunn`s hypothesis. This review attacks the integrity of Mr. Dunn and the validity of his work. This author of the negative review ignores the fact that the purpose of a book review is to provide an accurate appraisal of the books merit, content, readability, and plausibility.
Normally when discrediting a scientific or engineering theory or hypothesis, once shows that the methods used to draw conclusion were flawed -- testing done improperly, results cannot be replicated, or the evidence manipulated. In this case, the negative review fails to take into consideration that Mr. Dunn did use the proper scientific methods to build a body of evidence that allowed him to draw plausible conclusions. The tone of the negative review is unscientific in nature while the attempt to discredit Mr. Dunn's work is based on an unsubstantiated alternative hypothesis.
It appears to me that the author of that negative review does not understand the scientific method and has a second addenda unrelated to Mr. Dunn's effort. I took the time to look at all of the reviews written by the author of this negative review. I found that in every case, all of the reviews ever written by this person were negative, and that she has always given any book she is reviewing only one star. I feel this fact alone negates the credibility of a negative review against the work of Mr. Dunn.
I therefore submit, as a scientist and engineer, that if you are an open minded individual in the pursuit of plausible theories that describe possibilities for the construction and purpose of the Great Pyramid that is gaining acceptance in the scientific community, that you should read this book and judge the validity of Mr. Dunn's methods and theories for yourself -- without bias...
Warmest regards,
Mike

4.0 out of 5 stars Theory based on true engineering technical research about the Giza Pyramid as a Power Plant
Verified PurchaseThe writer explain all the engineering analysis until arriving to the theory of the Giza Pyramid as a Power Plant.
I'm not engineering and I've never been in Egypt, but I have analytical sense and, taking into account the researches of archeologists and the engineers consulted by the writer, it is a well ploted history/theory.
I finished the book and I'm very satisfied about the theory of the writer.
Well written and exposed!
But overall, if the reader believe all that the writer has written...that fact will trasport the reader to ask himself a lot of questions about the history of humanity as it has been explained nowadays.
It is a book for awake minds!
