IT IS BEST VIEWED IN INTERNET EXPLORER 8

Here you will discover a key to an ancient storehouse of knowledge called the Great Pyramid of Egypt. The mystery that surrounds this pyramid is legendary, and the difference between truth and legend becomes less certain as we travel back through the mist of time. It is probably the most studied and written about monument on the face of the Earth and it is not my intention here to add more verbiage to the vast amount of literature already available on the subject.

Pyramids
It is my intention, however, to show that the numerical tables that are developed and presented here in numerous articles were inspired by the mathematical symmetry found in nature and for some mysterious reason contain the most precise measurements ever made of the major dimensions of the Great pyramid Khufu.

EXPANDED BIOGRAPHY

Turbeville served as a merchant seaman in his late teens during the height of World War II, and later became a Deck officer in the early post-war era. These experiences provided the author a keen perception and a first understanding of the mechanics of the universe. His early seagoing training in navigation had raised in him the desire to gain a greater knowledge of the world he lived in. 

During the 50's and early 60's, while working as a railroad engineer and raising a  family, Turbeville was able to earn a degree in Physics that allowed him the opportunity to begin an academic career of management, teaching, and research at the University of South Florida. He received his MS degree in Physics in 68.  

By the mid 80's Turbeville had moved from Florida to the North Carolina mountains in a first step toward early retirement. This moved him out of a big city environment and into a more peaceful setting, and one that would be more conducive to other kinds of creative activity. 

From the fall of '89 through the spring of '91 Turbeville taught at the University of Western North Carolina on a part-time basis as he began to settle into a slower pace of life where he might have more time to pursue his creative whims.  His first book, "A Glimmer of Light from the Eye of a Giant" was published in 2000 by Trafford Publishers.
