Reviews of 'Rewriting the History of the Great Sphinx'
Rewriting the History of the Great Sphinx has received very positive reviews:
"This is a very well written and closely argued publication....it is evident that the archaeological and geological evidence have been carefully considered, clearly and logically described. The volume....takes a rational approach to the possibility that the Sphinx may in fact belong to the Second Dynasty. The text is very well illustrated....the photographs are of excellent quality and are well presented. Colin Reader is a very careful and thoughtful scholar and in my view this book reflects his deep knowledge of the Giza plateau and the literature surrounding it." - Pre-publication peer review.
The book "....gets quickly to the point about the Sphinx being older than the conventional view suggests, and is extremely rich in the kind of detail that you would want from a book and author of this kind. The conclusions are very interesting and, as far as my expertise goes, very difficult to dismiss....There is enormous value in Colin Reader's careful observations, his geological expertise of course, and his clear presentation of the geological features of the Giza landscape. I have no hesitation in saying that the book....stands to make a very important contribution to the field." - Pre-publication peer review.
"This book is excellent. Leaves behind all the wild theories written about the Giza Pyramids and Sphinx Monument, and gets back to basics with some stunning new conclusions about what was going at Giza prior to the age of Khufu and Khafre" - Andrew Collins (author), 5-star review on Amazon
