Tomb of the Birds

Author Andrew Collins talks about his discoveries on the Giza Plateau.  The caves he found in April 2008 are subject of his latest book but British readers can also get signed copies direct from the author, although Andrew's latest newsletter says that he is waiting for stock from the States.







The caves, which Andrew Collins has called the Tomb of the Birds from mummified bird remains, are controversial.  Dr Hawass has denied that they exist.  The two videos are interspersed with photos which Andrew claims were taken inside the photos, which puts him in direct contradiction of De Hawass.  The whole subject of a Giza underworld is tied in with Edgar Caye and his psychic prediction that a Hall of Records - a store of ancient knowledge - exists beneath the pyramids.  There are so many conspiracy theories tied in with the Hall of Records that separating fact from fabrication can be difficult.

Writing as one who was there at the time I can confirm that Andrew's photographs are genuine and were taken where he says they were taken.

Thanks Nigel, I was fairly confident they were but third party confirmation by somebody else who is respected is hugely beneficial.

The first time I say picture of Gatenbrink's Doors was at one of Andrew's Questing Conferences in London in a slideshow run by Robert Bauval. Andrew as an impressive record at being on the forefront of breaking news from the Giza Plateau.

Methinks Dr Hawass has some explaining to do, although Andrew has been very diplomatic that the entrance to the cave might have been overlooked.
