The late Dr. Rutherford's factual advice and helpgenerously given despite his vigorous disagreement with many of my working methods and conclusionshas been invaluable throughout, and his meticulous research has been the basis for virtually everything that is valid (and for none of the errors or inconsistencies) in the Pyramid-based sections of this book. The illustrations on pages 18, 59, 67, 71 (upper), 85, 94, 102, 116, 121, 141, and 159 are taken from The Great Pyramid Passages and Chambers by J. and M. Edgar, published by Bone & Hulley, and those on pages 4 and 5 from Prof. C. Piazzi-Smyth's Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid of 1864. Except where otherwise stated, biblical quotations are taken from the New English Bible, second edition 1970, by permission of Oxford and Cambridge University Presses.I tender my sincere thanks to all others who, witdngly or otherwise, have contributed to the book's genesis, to Ray Smith for his redrawing of numerous diagrams, and especially to John Moore, for having acted as midwife.P.L.
