DESCRIPTION
The Legends of the Pyramids: Myths and Misconceptions about Ancient Egypt
Could the Great Pyramid of Giza be a repository of ancient magical knowledge? Or perhaps evidence of
a vanished pre–Ic Age civilization?Misinformation and myths have attached themselves to the
Egyptian pyramids since ancient Greece and Rome. While many Americans believe that the pyramids
were built by aliens, archaeologists understand that the Giza pyramids were built by the pharaohs of the
Fourth Dynasty around 2450 BCE. So why is there such a disconnect between scholarly opinion and the
popular view of Egypt? In The Legends of the Pyramids, Jason Colavito takes us back to Late Antique
Egypt, where the replacement of polytheism with Christianity gave rise to local efforts to rewrite the
stories of Egyptian history in the image of the Bible. When the Arab conquest absorbed Egypt into the
Islamic community, these stories then passed into Islamic historiography and reentered the West.
Colavito's The Legends of the Pyramids lays open pop culture's view of Egypt in movies, TV shows,
popular books, and New Age beliefs, detailing how the hidden history of Egypt has grown alongside the
official history of archaeology and Egyptology.
