<p>The Riddle of the Pyramids by Kurt Mendelssohn, Praeger Publishers, 1974, First Thus. The dust Jacket has been placed in an archival, clear Mylar jacket for further protection and preservation. A Scientific discovery usually is not, as so many people imagine, a sudden flash of intuition by which the whole truth is revealed; rather it is a slow, and often laborious, process - very much like a detective story in which the clues have to be patiently assembled, and many false leads have to be eliminated. The ruined state of the pyramid at Medium led the author through an exciting series of deductions to a surprising new theory about the purpose of the pyramids that is supported by the independent evidence of the parallel development of pyramids in Meso-America.
