Scarce first edition of this book on Pyramidology by Colonel John Garnier (1838-1929), who was a British Army officer with the Royal Engineers who later turned to theoretical archaeology and British Israelism. Garnier argues the design of the pyramid was divinely inspired, and perhaps by Job, but which he names "Set the powerful." The prophecies he discusses are based on the pyramid's design, architecture, dimensions, and internal mapping which parallel those found in the Christian Bible. .
