The pyramids are one of the great mysteries of the world… were they simply burial tombs for ancient Egyptian pharaohs or something much, much more? That's the question Steven Halpern ponders on this acoustically-powerful album of chants. Recorded within the King's Chamber at the Great Pyramid of Giza in the early 80's, Halpern is one of a select few that was granted private access to the pyramid. This recording features no keyboards or instrumentation; it is simply Halpern (and several guests) chanting "Om," vowel sounds and power words within the deeply resonant chambers of the Great Pyramid. The acoustics are truly amazing, causing the vocalizations to harmonically echo throughout the majestic chamber. As an added bonus, Halpern included ten minutes of charged silence recorded within the chamber.
