We have all been deluded by the rubbish they taught and continue to teach in schools about Egypt's origin, it's anthropology, archaeology and literature. Eventually we must be provided with a clear explanation of how highly advanced construction and machining techniques could be undertaken in an ancient society. Stephen Mehler's book "The Land of Osiris" uncovered a new Egyptian paradigm for me. It is an incredible read. Not only has it helped me increase my understanding of those classic Egyptian icons, the Sphinx, pyramids, temples etc, but more importantly it has introduced me to the study of Khemitology, with new revelations such as Wizzer, Ptah, Ur Nil, and the Neters. The revelations of local indigenous wisdom keeper Abd'El Hakim alone are worth a serious study. If you are interested in ancient Egypt at all this book is a must read.
He did a good job in translating and discussing some of the origins and terminology used in the Egyptian Book of Coming Forth By Day as well (The name "Book of The Dead" is a misinterpretation).
If you're looking to get more into the Spiritual/Scientific aspects and Deeper Truths involved with Ancient Kemet however, then you'd be better off obtaining more authentic reading material on KEMETIC SPIRITUAL SCIENCE, The Ancient Egyptian Mystery Systems, or METU-NETER (meaning Divine Words/Words of Nature) and how those systems were the originals that paved the way for today's Religious systems, Scientific advancements, Astronomy, Mathematics, Language, Astrology, and Agriculture. "Egypt/Khmetology" is a term or modality that's mainly used by Western foreigners to try and quantify Kemetic Wisdom down to a simplistic viewpoint and mode of thinking.
Though this work seems now, in 2014, as having been fairly well disseminated in alternative circles and across the Internet, it is still worth reading this book if you never had. And please check on you tube for a few videos of Hakim that do exist. He was both a lineage keeper and a degreed/western trained mind. See if you think he is someone who knows what he is talking about as the source for much information in this book.

The Land Of Osiris introduces the oral tradition of ancient Khem or Khemit which has been handed down for millennia and is now recounted by the author from the teachings of local wisdom keeper Abd'El Hakim Awyan, a local tour guide known to many who lived a few hundreds yards from the Giza plateau. This tradition confirms the belief that the true history of ancient Egypt, or Khem, is very different from, and far far older than, the currently accepted version and is corroborated by, among many others, the works of Christopher Dunn who documents unmistakeable evidence in far-off ancient times of advanced machining techniques we are only just starting to use today (such as ultra-sonic drilling), and by John Anthony West and Robert Schoch who have demonstrated that the Sphinx is far older than is currently accepted due to the irrefutable presence of massive water erosion around the structure and its enclosure, the type of erosion generally accepted by geologists as being the result of thousands of years of rain.
This ancient oral tradition teaches that ancient Khem was a highly-advanced society which was both matriarchal and matrilineal, and was originally based on the ancient river Nile, named Ur Nil by one German researcher, far to the west of the modern-day river. To demonstrate the truth of Hakim assertions the author undertook field trips far out in the western desert and found clear evidence of ancient stone works as well as water erosion over wide areas, and also confirmed that even the slope of the land from west to east helps to corroborate this belief whilst effectively refuting much that is currently accepted about the current Nile's role in ancient Egypt.
Linking this up with evidence that the whole of the Giza plateau and indeed many Egyptian historical sites have hundreds of miles of tunnels cut in perfectly straight lines through the solid bedrock beneath them, as well as much else, the author takes us on a spell-binding journey around the major Per Neters (Neter, as explained by the author, is another mistranslated term which means, instead of "deity", rather aspect of deity; in this context it means House of Energy) around the Land Of Osiris, Bu Wizr, in the northern part of current-day Egypt, to give substance to the new paradigm of Khemitology - the pyramids, those ancient, ancient structures which current Egyptology wrongly insists were built as tombs in relatively modern dynastic times. This new paradigm should be based, says Hakim, upon the understanding that the pyramids were built tens of thousands of years ago as part of a highly-advanced ancient society's power-generation system, as well as serving various other functions such as centres of healing and revitalisation due to the ever-present acoustic harmonies and natural energies and vibrations, also being fuelled and surrounded by water. Indeed, the whole system was largely dependent upon the water flow supplied from the ancient western river through the aforementioned underground tunnel system, as well as many above-surface structures (and more pyramids), some of which are still evidence and some of which may now still be buried beneath the sand.
Hakim matter-of-factly suggests that the Sphinx is approximately 54,000 years old, and the pyramids far older. The civilisation was largely destroyed during a great global cataclysm which occurred approximately 11,500 years ago, an event which is thought by many "conventional" scholars and authors to perhaps have been the Great Flood as the last ice age ended and which has been suggested by many "unconventional" scholars and authors to have been the close passage of a comet which then became the planet Venus, or the return of a rogue planet on an orbit which brings it into the inner Solar System only once every few thousand years, and various other scenarios. After this cataclysm the remains of the society, over thousands of years, slowly evolved into what we now know as the dynastic period of Egyptian history, also suggested by the author to have been the birth of patriarchy, during which a few attempts were made to copy the grand works of the past. The culmination of these appears to have been the Step Pyramid of Djoser, supposedly the oldest Egyptian "pyramid" but more probably the youngest. As the author points out, it is an strange fact about ancient Egypt that the skill of the builders apparently regressed as time went on; the most spectacular structures are in reality the oldest.
The Land Of Osiris is an eye-opening and oft-times jaw-dropping introduction to Khemitology and the indigenous oral tradition which lays out the cultural framework for Christopher Dunn's powerful theory about the true nature of the pyramids, and like Dunn's book, I found it so fascinating I had to read it twice, as I'm sure will most who read it. A must have.
