John
Anthony West is a writer, scholar and
Pythagorean, born in New York City. He is the author of
The
Traveler's Key to Ancient Egypt, and consulting editor for the
Traveler's Key series. His previous book,
Serpent
in the Sky: The High Wisdom of Ancient Egypt is an exhaustive
study of the revolutionary Egyptological work of the French mathematician and
Orientalist, the late R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz.
In
The
Case for Astrology, John Anthony West presents compelling new
evidence that proves the astrological premise: that correlations exist between
events in the sky and on earth, and that correspondences exist between the
human personality and the positions of the planets at birth.
Mr. West has published a novel and many short stories; his plays have been produced on stage, television and radio, and he writes articles, essays and criticism for The New York Times Book Review, Conde Nast's Traveler and other general interest and specialized newspapers and magazines in America and abroad. He won an EMMY Award for his 1993 NBC Special Documentary The Mystery of the Sphinx, hosted by Charlton Heston.
The ancient Egyptians themselves attributed their wisdom to an earlier age going back 36,000 years. West set out to test the hypothesis that the Sphinx was much older than its conventional date of 2500 BC. His findings provide the first hard evidence that an earlier age of civilization preceded the known development of civilization in the Nile valley.
John Anthony West is today the leading authority and proponent of the 'Symbolist' school of Egyptology, an alternative interpretation of ancient Egyptian culture advanced by the French scholar and philosopher, R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz (1891-1962). In the Symbolist view, Egyptian architecture and art disclose a richer and more universal wisdom than conventional Egyptology has assumed.
Mr. West lectures
extensively on Egypt and personally leads several in-depth study tours to
Egypt every year.
