From the early 1980s, long-time Egyptology researchers Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert have been exploring evidence to link Egypt's Great Pyramid and other Giza plateau pyramids with stellar astronomy and, thus, stellar- rather than solar-linked gods and religious belief systems. While it was first suggested in 1964 that the Great Pyramid’s shafts aligned with the Orion star system (celestial home of the god Osiris) and the celestial pole, scientific mea- surement of the angles was only accom- plished in 1993 with the help of Eng. Rudolf Gantenbrink's remote-controlled robot, UPUAUT 2, which explored the shaft lead- ing from the Queen's Chamber—only to come to a halt at a tiny doorway some 65 metres from the end of the shaft. (See NEXUS vol.2#18). As luck would have it, Bauval and Gilbert had been conducting a photographic survey only days before Gantenbrink's robot was despatched, so were able to have their theory and mathematics verified on the spot.

This is a very approachable book on an all- too-often taboo subject. Dead Happy sug- gests that death should be regarded more as a matter for celebration, like a birth into a new dimension, rather than as a time for fear, guilt and sadness. Moreover, this advice applies equally for the recently departed and the grieving as it does for everyonc.
