The greatest mystery story ever written is concealed in the Pentateuch, or first five books of the Bible. It has to do with the planning and building of the original House of God, which still stands today after some 3,200 years. The story was written by Moses, and the House was planned in collaboration with Amalek, the architect. The project dealt with an entirely new conception of God, a thesis so radical for its day, it violated all the rules of orthodoxy. To insure its success, these two young radicals cloaked their undertaking with the secrecy of symbolism. This symbolism was borrowed from the Father's House, or the celestial. In his concealment Moses used the same principles of astronomy that modern science uses; and, it is through these principles alone that the secrets of his structure may be unlocked. In this book the technical side of Moses's story is made clear through easily understood illustrations, and the liberal use of nontechnical language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
