Riffert, George Raymond
GREAT PYRAMID PROOF OF GOD
Dustjacket is protected in mylar. DJ is missing a small piece at spine. Bookplates of former owner; According to Riffert, the Great Pyramid was built by the biblical king Enoch, as 'God's Bible in stone'. As such, its measurements and construction are supposed to represent various messages about the nature of god and to prophesy key occurrences in the history of the world. I present a few of the events supposedly foretold (by an arcane and contrived method of taking dates from measurements of the turnings in the internal passageways of the pyramid) : * 4000 BC. The year of man's creation. Any evidence of man before this date must obviously be wrong, as unbiblical. * 2344 BC. The Great Flood. * Saturday October 6, 4 BC. Birth of Christ. * Friday April 7, AD 30. Death of Christ. * AD 1558. Start of the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. * 25 January, 1844. Amongst other items, the passing of the Bank Charter Act. * August 2, 1909. Czar of Russia met King Edward and inspected the Great Fleet at Clowes. * December 2, 1924. 'On this date the new English Parliament met for the first time, after the Labour Party Parliament, which resigned, had been in power only 286 days'. You would be entitled to think it a little odd that good King Enoch went to all that trouble to forecast a relatively minor date in British political history, but in Riffert's loopy worldview this is perfectly natural. For Riffert was one of the British-Israelites, who believed that the British were in fact the ten lost tribes of Israel, and hence God's Chosen People. Contents include: Great Pyramid and Modern Thought; World's Greatest Wonder; God's Bible in Stone; Modern Science of the Great Pyramid; Christ and Salvation of the Great Pyramid; Astronomical Timing of Man's Creation; Great Pyramid Versus Evolution; Great Pyramid and the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel; What the Great Pyramid Proves etc.. ; 233 pages

Beautifully hand-coloured to the highest standards of the time. An example in excellent condition clean fresh beautifully preserved. FROM One of the most desirable of all travel and COLOURplate books. This is an excellent plate with the impressive content of one of the world's great holy sites according to Jewish Christian and Islamic tradition the biblical Mount Sinai was the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments. An excellent plate with exceptional detail and depth of colour.<br> We have a good number of impressive images from the Standard Folio Edition of this classic work available for purchase. As well as many other views of Petra and Sinai there are also available views of EgyptTyre Nubia the Jordan Sidon and Baalbec. Please inquire for further details.<br> Roberts set sail for Egypt on 31 August 1838 a few years after Owen Jones. His intent was to produce drawings that he could later use as the basis for the paintings and lithographs to sell to the public. Egypt was much in vogue at this time and travellers collectors and lovers of antiquities were keen to buy works inspired by the East or depicting the great monuments of ancient Egypt.<br> Roberts made a long tour in Egypt Nubia the Sinai the Holy Land Jordan and Lebanon. Throughout he produced a vast collection of drawings and watercolour sketches.<br> On his return to Britain Roberts worked with lithographer Louis Haghe from 1842 to 1849 to produce these lavishly illustrated plates. He funded the work through advance subscriptions which he solicited directly. The scenery and monuments of Egypt and Holy Land were fashionable but had hitherto been hardly touched by British artists and so Roberts quickly accumulated 400 subscription commitments with Queen Victoria being subscriber No. 1.

FROM One of the most desirable of all travel and COLOURplate books. A very beautiful image of the the Island of Philae from the Nile at Sunset. In the foreground are reeds and a sailboat behind which can be seen in near silhouette the Temple of Isis on the island. Philae was accounted to be one of the burying-places of Osiris and was held in high reverence both by the Egyptians to the north and the Nubians to the south. It was deemed profane for any but priests to dwell there and was accordingly sequestered and denominated "the Unapproachable." This is a view now un-viewable to modern eyes. Due to decades of constant flooding of Philae after the construction of the Aswan Low Dam every building was dismantled into about 40000 units and then transported to higher ground on the nearby island of Agilkia. The project was completed in time for the 1970 construction of the the Aswan High Dam.<br> We have a good number of impressive images from the Standard Folio Edition of this classic work available for purchase. As well as many views of Egypt we also have available views of Nubia Petra Sinai the Jordan Tyre Sidon and Baalbec. Please inquire for further details.<br> In the course of two and a half months in 1838 traveling some 800 miles south from Cairo Roberts recorded the monumental temple sites along the Nile in more than a hundred sketches. As the first British artist to sketch the monuments of Ancient Egypt set on "Plains so vast.that until you come near them you have no idea of their magnificence" Roberts was well aware of the stir his drawings would create in London. According to John Ruskin writing in PRAETERITA Roberts's drawings "were the first studies ever made conscientiously by an English painter not to exhibit his own skill but to give true portraiture of scenes of historical and religious interest.
