Sumerian mythology records that we were given the knowledge by the 'Gods', while the Abrahamic scriptures declare it was from the 'Watchers'; neither of which are satisfactory answers. The term \u003cem\u003eZep-Tepi\u003c\/em\u003e is associated with the 'First Time', when the 'Builder Gods' occupied pre-dynastic Egypt. This same expression was interpreted by Wallace Budge as \u003cem\u003eThe Merging of Time and Space\u003c\/em\u003e, offering the possibility that this was actually a metrological reference. Was Giza selected to be the \u003cem\u003eAxis Mundi\u003c\/em\u003e of the ancient world? If so, why-and where did the knowledge first originate?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy using a combination of mythology and archaeo-astronomy, along with recent archaeology and DNA studies, this book traces the origins of this system from the first \u003cem\u003eAxis Mundi\u003c\/em\u003e at Giza\/Heliopolis back to the megalithic culture at G?bekli Tepe, also home to the Biblical prophets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhilst the use of longitude and latitude is still credited to the Greeks, the 4:5:6 triangle (in whole degrees), which is found to exist between Giza and the other ancient 'Heliopolis' (in Lebanon), suggests a far earlier application. How this relates to the creation of the Nile Delta pyramids, the timing of the Biblical prophets, Mt. Ararat, and the birth of Sirius worship in Anatolia is explored in this fascinating journey along the \u003cem\u003eAkhet Alignment\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Whitaker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1805416219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781805416210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Whitaker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.62d","brand":"Alex Whitaker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46838528934143,"sku":"9781805416210","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_338b2084-b6d2-4aeb-a89d-ff0337c73a8a.jpg?v=1746590110","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/zep-tepi-alex-whitaker-9781805416210","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
