ISBN 028398435X ref is an ancient astronaut book by George Sassoon and Rodney Dale which concludes that a machine device was given to the Israelite s, when they went on their 40 year journey in the Sinai Desert . Overview The device was said to create manna , which is thought today to actually be a type of algae . It explains how the Israelites survived their 40 year wandering in the Sinai Desert. It is said by Sassoon and Dale that a nuclear reactor used to power the manna machine was stored in the Ark of the Covenant . The Ark was supposed to have powered the machine to run continuously, producing manna for six days. On the 7th day it would be taken apart for cleaning so it could run the following week. This is where Biblical Sabbath Sabbath is thought to come from. The knowledge was preserved within the Jewish Kabbalah that the authors claim to have correctly decoded.

Unreferenced date January 2007 The Message of the Sphinx Keeper of Genesis in the United Kingdom was a book written by Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval in 1996 which argued that the creation of the Great Sphinx of Giza Sphinx and Giza Necropolis Pyramids can be pushed back as far as Paleolithic 10,500 BC using astronomical data. Thesis Working from the premise that the Giza complex encodes a message, they begin with recently discovered geological evidence indicating that the deep erosion patterns on the flanks of the Sphinx were caused by 1000 years of heavy rain. Such conditions last existed in Egypt at the end of the last ice age, about 10,000 9,000 BC, meaning that the Sphinx may be more than 12,000 years old not the generally accepted 4500 years . The authors go on to suggest, using computer simulations of the sky, that the pyramids, representing the three stars of Orion s Belt , along with associated causeways and alignments, Orion Correlation Theory constitute a record in stone of the celestial array at the vernal equinox in 10,500 BC. This moment, they contend, represents Zep Tepi , the First Time, often referred to in the hieroglyphic record. They claim that the initiation rituals of the Egyptian pharaohs replicate on Earth the sun s journey through the stars in this remote era, and they suggest that the Hall of Records of a lost civilization may be located by treating the Giza Plateau as a template of these same ancient skies. Reception This theory is dismissed by many archaeologists as they believe there is no evidence to support the existence of such an ancient civilization. This is, however, disputed by Bauval and Hancock through in their claims on the architecture and design of the Pyramids and the Sphinx.
