Confessions of an Egyptologist

"This book shares the story of Adel H., an Egyptologist, who, as a sixteen-year-old boy, was trapped for days under the Step Pyramid of Saqqara. Based on conversations with Adel H., the author tells of the boy's search for a way out of the underground world, how the boy roams passageways and chambers and sees what he calls 'impossible' things of which the professional world is completely unaware. Adel experiences uncanny events, a mixture of spirit realm and reality, that is described here for the first time. 'The story of Egypt,' Adel says, 'has two sides - the official one and the unknown one.'"
