Not a Watch Tower publication — John and Morton Edgar

Charts of the Great Pyramid's passages prepared by John and Morton Edgar (1909), shown here as scanned images.

John Edgar (died 1910), a Glasgow physician, and his brother Morton Edgar were Bible Students. Their Great Pyramid Passages (1910–1913) was recommended in The Watch Tower; Morton Edgar continued pyramid studies after the Society abandoned the subject in 1928.

Origins: The Great Pyramid: The theory that the Great Pyramid of Giza was built under divine guidance and that its measurements foretell God's plan: John Taylor's book that started it (1859), the editions of Piazzi Smyth's Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid, Seiss's A Miracle in Stone and other supporters, and the Egyptologist Flinders Petrie and the astronomer Proctor, whose work undermined it. C. T. Russell took up the theory in Thy Kingdom Come (1891), and The Watch Tower recommended the studies of the Glasgow Bible Students John and Morton Edgar. In 1928 The Watch Tower under J. F. Rutherford rejected pyramid study as unscriptural ("The Altar in Egypt"), and the Society has not taught it since.
