Bio

Robert Bauval was born in Alexandria, Egypt, in 1948. In 1967 he went to England to complete his higher education in Building Construction and Management at the University of the South Bank in London. From 1973 to 1985 Bauval worked on various construction projects in Oman, Iran, Sudan, Guinea, and Saudi Arabia. In 1989 Bauval published a study which proposed that the layout of the three Giza Pyramids and their relative position to the Nile was intended to mirror the layout of the three stars in Orion's belt and their relative position to the Milky Way. This thesis, now known as the 'Orion Correlation Theory', became the subject of his first book, The Orion Mystery, published in 1994. The Orion Mystery has been translated into more than 20 languages and has been the subject of television documentaries by the BBC, ABC, Discovery Channel, Germany ZDF-Arte, Italy RAI, France A3, and many other European channels.

Bauval's second book, The Message of the Sphinx, co-authored with Graham Hancock, and translated into over 23 languages, was also the subject of several major television documentaries. Other books by Bauval are Secret Chamber (1999), Talisman (2004, with Graham Hancock), and The Egypt Code (2006).
