First sentence: FEELING a somewhat keen desire to know what the Great Pyramid looked like in the days when Egyptian civilisation first viewed the completed structure ; when Thebes was building its Avenue of Sphinxes and its earlier temples ; when Solomon built his ; when Moses, 1425 B.C., was being instructed in the wisdom of the Egyptians ; and more especially when Pythagoras (582 B.C.), Euclid, who taught in Alexandria about 300 B.C., Plotinus (205-270 C.E.) and Copernicus (1473-1543) had, each in their turn, the pyramid's impressiveness brought before them (for most of them appear to have studied in its vicinity) : I availed myself of a number of recognised sources of general information to ascertain primarily the fuller nature of the covering stones that were, until quite recently, believed to have been entirely removed.
