Description

At age ten, Hagger's dentist shared the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb, later gifting Hagger a shawabti from it. His fascination with the Great Pyramid led to his 1963 work, 'The Riddle of the Great Pyramid', portraying it as a mystery akin to modern society. Subsequent visits inspired sequels, 'The Meaning and Purpose of the Great Pyramid' in 2005, and 'The Great Pyramid as a House of Eternity' in 2020, completing a trilogy exploring its construction and human aspirations for eternal life pre-dating established religions. These parables, echoing Swift's style, critique Western society's organizational norms, echoing Hagger's philosophical views on literature.
