John Anthony West was an American author, lecturer, and researcher known for his alternative theories about ancient Egypt. He is perhaps most famous for his work on the Magical Egypt series, which explored the mysteries and symbolism of ancient Egyptian culture. West believed that the conventional understanding of ancient Egypt was incomplete and limited. He argued that the ancient Egyptians possessed a deep understanding of physics, cosmology, and consciousness that remains largely unknown to modern scholars. He saw ancient Egypt as a sophisticated civilization that was far more advanced than commonly believed. In the Magical Egypt series, West delved into topics such as sacred geometry, the symbolism of the pyramids, and the connection between ancient Egyptian mythology and modern science.

West's theories drew both praise and criticism from the academic community.
Rest In Peace John Anthony West
My Mother, Brother Zeke and myself were all present with him at the time of his death. His heart rate slowed down and then stopped. He passed away quietly and peacefully with dignity after putting up an incredible fight against cancer.
I will say that I am deeply moved by the sheer volume of people that have expressed their compassion towards me and my family. But even more so by all of the people that knew his work, and that were changed by it forever. Those that knew him personally could all agree that my father was a one of a kind individual, with an indomitable spirit and an endless capacity to never back down from what he believed in.
My father didn’t care much for funerals and didn’t appreciate the emotion that others brought to them. Because life is eternal, he could never quite get behind what all the fuss was about.
He requested to be cremated and when the time and money permits, Celesta, Zeke and Myself plan to scatter his ashes in Egypt where his heart, mind and life’s work took place.
Thank you everyone for all of your support through this incredibly difficult time. My father is well on his way to his next life. And his work in this life will never be forgotten.
Author, lecturer and guide.John Anthony West delivered a seismic shock to archaeology in the early 1990s when he and Boston University geologist Dr. Robert Schoch revealed that the Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt, showed evidence of rainfall erosion. Such erosion could only mean that the Sphinx was carved during or before the rains that marked the transition of northern Africa from the last Ice Age to the present interglacial epoch, a transition that occurred in the millennia from 10,000 to 5,000 BC.
“Egyptian civilization was not a development, it was a legacy.”

Reviews for "Unlocking the Power of the Egyptian Gods: John Anthony West's Magical Insights"
- Sarah - 2 stars - I was really excited to watch "John Anthony West: Magical Egypt" because I had heard some great reviews about it. However, I was quite disappointed with the content. The documentary seemed to lack depth and failed to provide any substantial evidence to support the claims made by the narrator. It felt more like a collection of random theories and speculations rather than a well-researched investigation into ancient Egypt. I would not recommend this documentary to anyone looking for an insightful and factual exploration of Egyptian history and culture.
- Mark - 1 star - "John Anthony West: Magical Egypt" was a complete waste of time for me. The film presented a series of far-fetched ideas and wild theories without providing any credible sources or evidence. It felt more like a pseudo-history lesson rather than a documentary. I was hoping for an in-depth exploration of Egyptian civilization, but what I got was a mishmash of unconvincing claims. I found it very disappointing and would not recommend it to anyone seeking a well-researched and intellectually satisfying documentary.
- Emily - 2 stars - I respect John Anthony West's dedication to exploring alternative theories about ancient Egypt, but "Magical Egypt" fell short of my expectations. The information presented in the documentary lacked coherence and seemed to be more concerned with promoting unproven ideas rather than providing a balanced and well-researched perspective. Some parts of the film felt like a conspiracy theory, and overall, I was left with more questions than answers. While it may appeal to those already inclined towards unconventional theories, I found "Magical Egypt" lacking in substance and would not recommend it to those seeking a more rigorous examination of the subject.
