Mark Lehner first went to Egypt as a student abroad in the 1970s. Intrigued by the mysteries of the "Sleeping Prophet," Edgar Cayce, Lehner "found that {Link without Title} initial notions about the ancient civilization along the Nile could not stand up to the bedrock reality of the Giza Plateau." He turned to the Scientific Method Of Discovery , returning some years later to complete a PhD at Yale University . Lehner's 1991 dissertation was "Archaeology of an image: The Great Sphinx of Giza." Among his other work in Egypt, Mark Lehner has produced the only scale maps of the Sphinx in existence. He spent five years surveying and mapping the famous statue built by Khafre . Lehner's book, ''The Complete Pyramids'' ( 1997 ) is an exhaustive catalog of Egypt's many pyramid sites. Lehner has appeared in many television programs about Egypt. He is also a Visiting Assistant Professor of Egyptian Archaeology at the Oriental Institute at the University Of Chicago BOOKS
