Autorenporträt
Steve Kallman is a retired computer systems engineer from Cleveland, Ohio. He worked for Cuyahoga County managing large-scale server networks and storage systems until his retirement in 2019. Besides being an author, Steve majored in music at Cleveland State University in the early 1970s. He studied music composition with J. Bain Murray and Rudolph Bubalo. He studied orchestra with Julius Drossin and percussion with Robert Matson, both former members of the Cleveland Orchestra. In his younger days, Steve conducted various small ensembles and choirs in the Cleveland area. He is also a former member of the Cleveland Philharmonic Orchestra. A passionate lover of all things ancient Egyptian and architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, Steve used his skill as an nature photographer to record the monuments of Egypt on two trips in 1988 and 1990, from which came the source of inspiration for this book. In 1990, while on a solitary photographic tour through the Step Pyramid complex in Sakkara, Egypt, an "armchair archeologist" made a chance discovery of a relatively unknown artifact. Though this elegantly carved artifact is not very important by itself, it led the author to uncover many secrets hidden for millennia concerning the sacred wisdom of ancient Egypt concealed in the architecture of the Step Pyramid Enclosure by its architect, Imhotep.
