«El misterio de Orión» is the archaeoastronomy essay by Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert, published in 1996 in hardcover (360 pages, in Spanish).
The book sets out the theory that the three great pyramids of Giza reproduce the position of the belt of the constellation Orion. Drawing on texts, star maps and alignments, the authors reinterpret the astronomy of ancient Egypt and propose a new reading of the purpose of the pyramids, combining history, archaeology and mythology.
The translation is by César Aira; the original title is 'The Orion Mystery' (1993). The edition includes photo plates outside the text.
For readers interested in ancient Egypt, archaeology and theories about the construction of the pyramids.
Robert Bauval is an Egyptian-born Belgian writer and lecturer, perhaps best known for the fringe Orion Correlation Theory regarding the Giza pyramid complex.
